STRANGER in New York city might easily have lost his way in trying to find the house whereold John Tourtelot lived with his granddaughter Lena and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha Tourtelot. Only a few blocks away is the noisy junction of Sixth avenue, Clinton place, Christopher street and Greenwich avonue. The Jefferson market police court looms on one side, with its tall clock tower. Through Sixth avenue runs the elevated railroad, witla its constant puff of engines and rattle of trains, while north and south, east and west, the surface cars go clattering by. But if you pass down Christopher street a block or two, and then turn to the left, you are brought to Ringgold street. And suddenly all the noise and bustle drop away behind you and you are far off in a quiet town of long ago. The street is winding, and on either side stand neat brick houses of an old style, with fanlights over the doors, and shaded by elms and maples. On summer evenings the people gather on their stoops by families and sing, or move about from place to place to discuss the Affairs of the day. in village fashion. It Is like a little island of peace set in the surging ocean of the great city. It was in one of these tiny houses, with a maple tapping at its windows, that the Tourtelots lived, and to Lena the house was to belong—or so the old man supposed— ut his death. From the hack of the house, where in the top story was Lena's owu little room, the prospect was no less attractive. Here all the yards were pretty gardens, trim as a picture, with fruit trees and neat jflower beds, and here and there a parrot or a canary in a cage. Sometimes, of an evening, the little family sat in their garden, and Lena, always close by her grandfather, the light from the lamp within shining on her golden hair, played on her violin. Child as she was. and of a sunny nature, ahe somehow liked the slow, deep notes, that speak to the heart, and tell the listener of wonderful things, though he knows not what they are. And then the neighbors would sit at their windows. looking down and listening. It had taken a large part of all the old man had saved in more than 30 years to buy the house. Then thousand mornings. during those years, he had gone out from it, in sunshine and rain, to his labor as a gold worker, and 10.000 times returned at night. And now his active life was over. He spent his days in pruning the trees, tending the flowers in the garden and walking slowly up and down the sunny side of the little street, striking his cane heavily on the pavement at every step. And hardly a waking moment passed that his old heart did not glow with the thought that after he was gone the snug h6me and the little fortune in the bank would belong to l^ena. his grandchild, the dear treasure of his old age. To make this sure had been his chief thought these ten years past, since the child was l>orn; ami that it was sure be fully believed to the day of his death. It was in October that his walks be

came shorter and shorter, and at last had to be given up altogether. Then for a week or two he sat watching Vhc children playing in the street. Then for a few days he sat within at a front window. But finally his friendly old face was seen no more by the passersby, Even the sunlight he had loved became painful to him, and his room was darkeued. He had a few last letters to write to a friend or two in England, whom he had known in his youth there, and who, like him. still lingered on for a space; a few simple preparations to make before taking his departure on the last solemn journey. So one day he sent Lena up the avenue to the office of a certain Wellman, a notary, with whom he had a slight acquaintance. "I won’t bother any of my friends about here." he thought. "They’re not familiar with business matters. This is business, and 1 can pay Wellman for his trouble, and he w ill, understand all about it." Xow the fact was that old Mr. Tourtelot himself w as not very familiar with business. Otherwise he would not have placed his confidence in the notary without inquiring about his standing among those who knew* him. If he had inquired he would have found that Wellman was a sharp, plausible fellow, with a rather unsavory reputation. But the old man was of a friendly, confiding nature, not apt to believe ill of anyone; and of Wellman he knew- nothing ill. Surely no one, could have been more kind and obliging than the notaryl lie wrote' Mr. Tourtelot’s letters and made his deposits; figured'up his accounts and balanced his simple books; made out a list of the banks where his money lay; got together the deed of the house and a few other papers that might be of use after the owner's death, and gave him friendly advice. He dropped in every day, and sometimes twice a day. and talked over the plans that had been made for Lena and her nunt. It appears that the grandfather h.«d not thought it worth while to make a will. “I have no children," he said. “Lena will have everything, without a will, and Martha will live here twith her." “Ah, but that is a great mistake," said the notary. “Now listen to me and l will tell you why. Lena is n mere child yet. She caunot maqage these matters. She needs a guardian. Her aunt is old and feeble; if she should die who would look after Lena? She might fall into the hands of people who would not treat her well, and they

might deceive her and get everything av*j hum her.* These were new thoughts to the ohf man. He turned them over and over in his mind. They seemed wise and just Something must be done to make all safe and sure, and just here a faint suspicion of Wellman’s good faith forced itself home upon him. “I’ll try him,” said the simple-minded old fellow; so he thought of a plan that struck him as very shrewd and prudent. The same afternoon Wellman came in again. “I’ve been thinking matters over,'* said John Tourtelot, “and I believe you’re right. Now what dp you suggest?” “I would suggest making a will,” said the notary, “and leaving all your property to some friend in trust for your sister, and the child until she comes of age.” “And now, sir,” said the old man, looking keenly at the notary, “who shall that friend be?” “That is for you to say,” said the notary; “some one whom you know well; some one of good judgment; I some one you can trust.” “For instance—” said Mr. Tourtelot, i rather sharply. He felt that everything was at stake, and even suspicions were j justified. “Well, for instance, your old iriend, Dr. Wheelock,” said the notary, in a low voice. Old Mr. Tourtelot fell back on his j pillow (satisfied. His suspicions were i unfounded. The notary was seeking j nothing for himself, j “I thank you very kindly,” he said. “Your advice is all good. The matter is simple. You may draw the will for me, and we’ll set a time to execute it. Dr. Wheelock is away for a few days. But there is no special haste. We’ll have a friend or two here for witnesses. And now I think I’d like to sleep.” Mr. Wellman, however, did not sleep • until the will was drawn. Next morning when he called it was in his pocket, all neatly written, with a red seal attached. Lena, who opened the door for him. had a frightened look on her j face. “Grandfather is much worse,” she said. “I’m going for a doctor. Aunt

I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU.” THE OLD MAN SAID. Martha is too feeble to be up to-day. and grandfather is all alone. I'm glad, you’ve come.” “llut wait.” said the notary. “Come up w ith me. 1 have his will here. You must be a >v it ness.” Lena opened her eyes wide. “What an idea!’’ she said, “lie needs the doctor. 1 mustn’t wait.” “Hut the will!” cried Wellman, seizing her arm. “You don’t understand, child. It leaves the property to you. It isn't signed yet.” Lena stepped back and drew herself ; up very straight. The color rushed to her cheeks and her eyes Hashed fire. “Mr. Wellman.” she said, “you are a wicked man! vWhat do 1 care about his will? Grandfather may be dying!” An instant later she was ruuning up the street as fast as her feet could carry her. The notary entered the durkeued I room. “I’m glad to see you.” the old man said. “I didn’t think thrs would come so soon. 1 only wish the will had been j drawn. Then I could die content.” “And contented you shall be,” said the notary, in his soft voice. “1 have it here. I'll read it to you.” Drawing aside the curtain to admit a little light, he opened the paper and read: ”1, John Tourtelot. of New York city, do make this mv last will and testament. I give, devise and bequeath to my friend Henry P. Wheelock. all my property, real and personal, in trust, ! to receive and apply the rents, profits and income to the use of my granddaughter, Lena Tourtelot, and my sister, Martha, in such proportions as he may deem best, until my said granddaughter shall become of age, when all of said property shall become hers absolutely. and 1 also appoint said trustee as the executor of this w ill.” That is what the notary said, as he held the open paper in his hand. But the words that were Veally written there were these: “1 give, devise and bequeath all my projH-rty. real and personal, to my friend. James 1L Wellman, absolutely, in return for his many services, and in payment for money I have borrowed from him. and hereby appoint him executor of this will.” . Here followed the witness clause and the attestation clause in the usual form. Thus what the old man heard was not in the will, and fhe real words of the fraudulent w ill b^never heard. “That is enough.” said Johu Tourtelot. “Hold me up, and give me a pen from the table." Half lying, half sitting, with the notary’s arm about him, he feebly scrawled his name opposite the seal. “Martha is in the next room.” he said, pointing to an open door, as he sank back. “She can witness it,"

The old lady was sitting propped of in a great armchair. “There’s no time to lose,” said the notary, as he entered. “Your brother has just made his will, providing tor you. You must sign it." She tried feebly to rise, but could not. “Sit still,” he said, roughly, thrusting the pen into her hand. “Quick! Sign there. It ishis will.” She gazed at the paper for a moment, but half understanding what it was aD about. Then slowly she signed her name. Just as Wellman hurried back to the dying man Lena entered with Dr. Strauss,who took Dr. Wheelock’s place in his absence. “Here, doctor,” said the notary. “A will. It needs a witness.” X The doctor had experience in such matters. He took the paper and put the necessary questions to the old man, who answered feebly. Then the doctor j signed it and threw it on the table. '' “It is done,” said the notary, as ha picked it up. “God bless you,” said the old man. And he pressed Lena’s hand, turned his ! face away and closed his eyes for the t last time. Two hours had hardly passed before Wellman reached the surrogate's court, ! in the City Hall square, and filed a peti- ! tion to have the will admitted to proI bate. There he procured and filled in [ the citation to be served on Lena and ! her aunt, giving notice of the day for I Lena to appear at court, and beginning ! quaintly with the printed words: “The | People of the State of New York,*by S the Grace of God free and independent, I send greeting.” These he handed to Lena and her aunt the same day, but made some excuse to i take them back at once before they read ; them, and never a word did he say to t them about the will. And their minds ; were too full of other things just then ■ to give thought to it. They did not see | the notary again until on the morning of the eighth day, when Mrs. Tourtelot j was about the house again, he drove tip in a carriage to take them to court. “Put we haven’t heard anything about the will yet,” said the old lady. “We | haven’t even seen it.” “It is filed at the court,” he said. “You shall see it there.” So away they went, through Waverly place, across Washington square and down South Fifth avenue, drawing nearer and nearer to the court where the paper lay—the fraudulent will which gave Wellman the little home and all the old man’s hard-earned savings, and on which stood the name of Martha Tourtelot as a witness. At last they reached the City Hall square and entered the great courthouse. On the ground floor, in the cramped office of ihe surrogate’s clerk, they found a crowd of people assembled on errands similar to theirs. “And now.” said Mrs. Tourtelot, looking at Wellman with suspicion, “now let us see the will.” “All jn due time,” said the notary. “Hark!” Suddenly they heard the clerk call [out: “Matter of Tourtelot,” and Wellman pushed them up to a desk, where j they found the doctor, who had been summoned as a witness. Beside the clerk stood a person who had been named by the surrogate to look after i the child’s interests in the proceedings —the guardian ad litem, as he is called. The clerk .held the will in his hand. It was drawn in due form, and seemed to be properly executed. The witnesses took the oath and the clerk began to put the usual questions to them. Dr. Strauss testified that the testatoi stated to him that it was his will, and ! that the signature was his, ami had asked liiui to sign as a witness, and that • he had done so; with various other | statements. "Mrs. Martha Tourtelot,” said the clerk. Mrs. Tourtelot, half dazed by the unaccustomed proceedings, answered several questions the clerk put to her. Then he said: “Mrs. Tourtelot. the testator signed this will in your presence?” "Yes,” said the old|lady, and then: “No. That is, he was in the next room." “The next room!" exclaimed the clerk. "The next room!” echoed the guardian ad litem. “Yes, in the next room.” said the witness. "The door was opeu," suggested Wellman. "Did you see him sign It?” asked the clerk. “No. 1 didn’t-know be had it till it was brought in to me.” “Did he tell you himself that this waa his will?”

“Did he ask you W> sign it as a witness?" “No. Only this—this—this person!" I cried the witness, flaring up at last, j “And what’s more. I haven’t read it yet, and I don’t believe he knew what he signed, and I never will!” “Why. this is no valid will under the laws of New York,” said the clerk. “It j was not properly executed. It’s only so i much waste paper. I can’t admit this j to probate. Where is the executor?" They all turned to look for the no- j | tary. He was gone. His own eager j haste had defeated his scheme at the first step, and he had fled. So Lena and her aunt went back to the peaceful little house. Lena’s house, where the maple was whispering and j tapping at the windows, the home her old grandfather had provided for he* before he set off on his last journey. Before long, when Dr. Wheelock re* turned, he was appointed her guardian by the supreme court. But she still lived with her aunt in her own house, and kept the same little room, looking out over the sunny flower gardens. And when, in the evenings, she drew the alow, deep notes from her violin, sha would close her eyes and dream that her grandfather was sitting close beside her. as in the days gone by .—Stewart Mitchell, in Youth’s Companion.

DESPAIR OF REPUBLICANS. tokOHlataeat ni Lack of Crance \ Skowinr. At some risk of being accused of party lukewarmness the .Republic deprecates the disposition on the part of many republicans to take a gloomy view of the business situation and to make bitter complaint of the failure of the republican administration to realize the glowing ante-election predictions of prosperity indulged in by advance agents and press agents of the Hanna syndicate. It is true that the existing situation is not encouraging. The general bank clearances, in sharp contrast with a large gain in St. Louis, indicated a falling off in business last week. Reports from the industrial centers, particularly iu Pennsylvania and Ohio, the states most favored by protection, show temporarily, at least, an intensification of business depression resulting in the reduction of wages and production, and in au increase of business failures. But these results are in great measure caused by special rather than general j business conditions. Much of it can be j traced to the wholesale tariff tinkerl ing of the republicans in congress. The • conditions favorable to business reaction, which the Republic has pointed out, still exist. We have sold an enormous quantity of stuff abroad, and have an easy treasury and a great balance of trade in our favor. Exceptionally fine crops of garden products have been marketed, and the prospect of the grain and cotton crops, except in a few locali- : ties, was never better. If the republicans had refrained from business-dis-i turbing legislation these favorable conditions, despite the opposing influence of a bad monetary system/would have resulted in a measure of business relief. The republicans deliberately and in the face of solemn warning took the i one step sure to prevent a return to | prosperity by yielding to the pressure in fajror of tariff legislation for the ; benefit of the bounty grabbers. There are truth and justice, there- ! fore, in Mr. Wanamaker’s arraignment of th« republican party for promising immediate prosperity and then dot ing nothing to help it along. While the | gloomy bitterness expressed by him \ and echoed by masses of republicans are not fully justified and indicate an unmanly and foolish attitude, yet there is extenuation for the weakness. They are the victims of misrepresentation and deception. They were led to trust in the blossoming rod and the stimulating fetich. To the disappointment following false prophecy is added irrii tation over continued misrepresentation to cover political deception. No bitter resentfulness affects the Republic and the rational people who placed no confidence in bombastic campaign predictions and do not believe in fiat prosperity. We suffer neither the disappointment of misplaced faith in the McKinley’s rabbit foot nor the humiliation of the false prophet. We are still able to discern the conditions that ' make for better times and to believe that they will work out a measure of salvation despite the follies and the | blunders of the fetich worshipers and i the fiat prosperity agents. We believe the American people have enough streng • . energy and resources to witli- ; stand the blight of McKinleyism. We ; advise our discouraged republican , friends to swallow their party disap- | ["ointment and keep vp courage and cheer.—St. Louis Republic.

A M'nnuaiuui senrue. In the tariff bill as It stands and as it is to be “jammed, through" by the senatorial combine there are three principal schedules—wool, hides and sugar. The wool duties will levy a heavy tribute on all the people’s clothing and blankets* but they will placate the wool growers of a few states and secure the reelection of the senators who force their adoption. The duty on hides will seriously cripple the export leather industries of the country and add largely to the price the people must pay for boots, shoes and all other leather goods. But this tribute must be levied for the benefit of the cattle trust or the sagebrush senators will withhold their votes and defeat the bill% The sugar duties mean millions to the sugar trust, every dollar of which the consumers of sugar must pay. But! the sugar trust owns too many senators—directly or indirectly—to be ignored. Its right to levy tribute must be guaranteed or no tariff bill can be passed. This is the situation. It is scandalous, but it is a fact. —X. Y. World. Empty Promises. The merciless advance of McKinley prosperity goes sw dily on. Banks close, workingmen are thrown out of employment, and times grow harder and harder. The people misled last fall by specious promises are realizing day by day the result of the false movement that'put the present administration in power. A great revulsion sets in. and the end is not far to seek. Every succeeding opportunity for expression of public opinion at the polls will produce overwhelming democratic gains. The people, tired of empty promises, will turn from the party that is friendly Only to Wall street, to the party that is friendly ever to the people, because it is of. from, and always with them. The only hope for the future of the plain people, whether in national, state, or municipal affairs, is in the return to supremacy of the party of the people; the democracy of the United States.— Tammany Time*. -The tariff fight la on in the senate, and troublous times are ahead. The powers to be protected are squabbling among themselves for the rich rake-off of excessive import taxation, and the republican leaders-find it hard to control their clients when it comes to a question of fair division of the spoils. Meanwhile the ccwtry suffers, hard times grow harder, and the fallacy of McKinley prosperity becomes more and more apparent to the deluded who pat the present administration into power.—Tammany Times.

QUEER PROSPERITY. Disaster Marks the Advent at the Ah mace Aaeat. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reminds the Globe-Democrat that in its issue of October 10 it declared that “immediately after the election a business boom like that which started with the resumption of gold payments in 1679 will set in.’* Another leading republican editor said: “The people await the night of November 3 for the wires to send a thrill through the country that will set in motion the millions of men now idle.” How were these prophecies and promises fulfilled? For a few weeks after election, although the wave of prosperity did not appear, employers* self--deluded but expectant, made no cuts in wages and kept their forces of men. Then, finding that trade did not revive, that capital did not come forth from its hiding places, and that_ “confidence” had not been restored, numbers of employers and corporations began the process of reducing wages and curtailing expenses that is inevitable under the gold standard, and the process has been going on ever since. Here axe a few of the reductions reported, and which are enumerated by the Post-Di -.pateh, showing “how prosperity came:’* Beginning promptly with the new year the following firms cut wages or shut down their works, in many cases forcing their employes into strikes: Illinois Steel company, cut wages; Horn Coal company, DuQuoin, 111., cut wages; Mueller & Heilman’s Shoe company, cut wages; Maple Hill mines, Barton, O., strike; Massillon, O., mines, cut wages; Xiedringhaus rolling mills, St. Lends, cut wages; American rattan works, cut wages; Bridge & Beach, stovemakers, reduced number of employes and cut wages; Tudor iron mills. East St. Louis, shut down; Panhandle mine, Pittsburgh mining district, belonging to Mark Hanna, cut wages to starvation point; Keystone rolling mill a ad other plants at Pittsburgh, in which Mark Hanna is interested, cut wages: Old Dominion Copper company. Globe, A. T.. shut down: Kebmines, Ottumwa, la., imported colored miners to take the places of white strikers; Belleville nail mills, cut wages; Westinghouse Air Brake company, cut wages; Tennessee Coal and Iron company, cut wages; Rockford, 111., cooper shops, cut wages, forcing a lockout; journeyman horseshoers, of St. Louis, on strike for scale wages; building trades workers of Chicago. forced to strike; 4,000 miners at Jelico. Ky.. forced to strike; 3,500 miners in Tennessee struck against reduction; Thurmond mines. West Virginia, cut down Wages of 3.000 miders; 22.000 tailors in New York forced to strike against starvation wages; Sandoval, 111., mines closed indefinitely. Besides this, on January 2$, the police and charity organizations reported 20,000 men idle in St. Louis and at least 50,000 in dire need of food, clothing and fuel. The Illinois legislature took official notice recently of the fact that the coal miners of the state were starving, and ordered an investigation. And every- few days some poor wretch has fallen out of the ranks of the destitute and despairing by ending his own life. This is how prosperity came as the result of McKinley’s election. What would the people not give for another chance at the “Advance Agent of Prosperity.”—Illinois State Register,

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. -Whether the sugar schedule is looked at through a polariscope or a telescope, the people can't see where their interests are consulted.—Kansas City Times. -—-The sugar trust scandal has company in Washington this time. AH the pet trusts that flourished so much in the period of MeKinleyism are on deck.— Utica Observer. -The underlying idea of the senate tariff bill is that nobody must be taxed who can “kick.” Exception is made iu behalf of those who are willing to relinquish their “kick” for the sake of their share of the “pork.”—X. Y. World. -President McKinley need not have attended the meeting of the American Medical association to find cut that the,country is very sick indeed, and far from patient. His protection pills for currency' ills have made a bad matter worse.—Albany Argus. -“We have got to be patient.” says Mr. McKinley. This is very different talk from that he gave us before the elect ion v Does Mr. McKinley now know any better what he is talking about than he did when the great promises of immediate relief were made last year?—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. -President McKinley. Secretary Gage and the republican leaders at Washington are urging legislation to “provide revenue for the government” by increasing taxation. Is there no one to speak for the already overtaxed people and appeal for a reduction of expenses?—Illinois State Register. -The united sihrer sentiment of this nation will proire irresistible. It must be united. The cause of humanity demands it. Self-preservation requires it. Let silver be the watchword, lay all minor matters- aside, organize for the struggle of 1898. and make sure of victory in 1900.—Chicago Dispatch. --In defending the senate amendment of the sxigar schedule in the Dinglev bill. Senator Aldrich asserted that a differential afforded to the sugar refiners was “about one-eighth of one cent per pound.” If that is the ease, why should not the bill declare in sc many words, and let the people know what the tariff means?—N. Y. World. -The republican party will be judged with especial severity because it has always claimed to be the party of prosperity. Foolishly or wisely, the people are going to hold it to itselaims. A happy chanee may save it and so save the country from the frightful calamity of free silver. But It has no right to trust to chanee so long as it can do anything to relieve the existing depressior It must take up and carry through a wise financial reform at an early day -■-Indianapolis New*.
