In due course Eustace and his legal adviser arrived at Pump court, and, on! how the heart of James, the barrister, swolled with prido when for the first tlmo in his career ho saw a real solicitor enter his du mber* accompanied by a real client. He would, imleod. liavo preferred it if the solicitor had not happened to bo his twin brother, and tho client had been some other than hin intimate friend but still it was a blessed sight—a very blessed sight! "Will yon bo seated, gentlemen?" he said, with much dignity.

They obeyed. "And now, Meeson. I suppose you have -explained to my brother tho matter on which you require my advice?" "No, I haven't," said Eustace "I thought that I might as well explain it to you both togother, eh?" "Hum," liaid James "it Is not quite regular. According to tho etiquette of the profession to which I have tho honor to belong, it I not customary that matters should be no dealt with. It is usual that papers* should bo presented but that I will overlook, as tho point appears to bo pressing." "That's right," said Eustace. "Well, I have come about a will." "So I understood," said James "but what will, and whore is It?" "Well, It'r. a will In my favor, and It is tattooed on a lady's back."

Tho twins simultaneously roso from their chairs and looked at Eustace with such a ridiculous identity of movement and expression that ho fairly bunt out

"f presume, Meeson, that this Is not a lioax, said James, severely. "I prcsumo 1 hat you know too well what Is duo to learned counsel to attempt to make one of their body tho victim of a practical joke?" "Surely, Meeson." added John, "yon havo sufficient respoct for the dignity of the law not to tamper with It lu any such way as my brother has indicated?" "Oh, certainly not. I assure you it is nil square. It is a truo bill, or rather a true will." "Proceed," said James, re.-tuning his Feat. "Thl.-» in evidently a case of an unusual nature." "You are right there, old boy," said Eustaco. "Ana now, just listen, and ho proceeded to unfold his moving tale with mnch point and emphasis.

When ho had finished, John looked at .lame* rather helplessly. Tho case was beyond him. But James was equal to the occasion. He had mastered that first great axiom which every young barrister should lav to heart: "Never appear to be Ignorant.^' "Tills case," ho said, as though he were giving judgment, "l« doubtless of a remarkable nature, and I cannot at the mo mcnt lay my hand upon any authority bearing on tho point—if, indeed, any such are to be found. But 1 speak oft hand, and must not be held too closelv to the obiter dictum of a viva voce opinion.

SHOUT OS I,EOAI, ETIQUETTE. •'"Well, Meeson, what to It? Rare job 'Come to ask me to lunch?" asked Mr. Jobs Short. "Do yon know 1 cctnalljthought that you might bare been a -client?" "Well, by Jove! old fellow, and so I am," answered Eustace. "I hare been to your brother and he has sent moon to you, beoauso be says that It is not th» etiquette of the profession to see a client unless a solicitor is present, so he has referred rae to you." '•Perfectly right perfectly right of my brother James, Meeson. Considering how small cro his opportunities of becoming cognizant with the practice of his profewsion, it is extraordinary how well he is acquainted with its theory. And now, what is the pointf' "Well, do you know, Short, as the point ir, rather a long one, and that your brother said he should expect us at 2 precisely. I think that wo bad better take tho bus back to the Temple, when 1 can tell the yarn to both of you at once." "Very well. I do not, as a general rule, like leaving my office at this time of flay, as it is apt to put clients to irronTcuience. especially such of them as come from a distance. But I will make an exception for you, Meeson. William," he went on to the counterpart of the Pump court infant, "if any one calls to see me, •will you lx so fjood as to tell them that 1 •am engaged in an important conference at the chambers of Mr. Short in Pump court, but that I hope to be back by half past

course of test r. unitarv disposition. If I remomher aright -I speak off haml—tho Act of I Vie,, osSMS, specifies that a will shall in writing, and tattmiing may fal.'lv bo defiiuil as a rude variety of writing. It ta. 1 admit, ur tal that writing should bo do :con paper or parchment, but I have tu ubl that the young lady's skin, if carefully removed" and dried, would make excellent parchment. At present, therefore, it is parchment in Its green stage, nnd perfectly available for writing purges. To continue. appears—I art taking Mr. Meeson's statements as being perfectly accurate—that the will was properly and duly executed by tho testator. rather by the person \vho tattooed in hfci presence and at his command: a form or signature which is very well eorcml by the sect ion of tho Act of I Vic., rap S8. It see v!s. x\ that the witness*** attested in the ptv*«?nee of each other and ef the testator. It Is true that there was. no Attestation clause but the supposed necessity for an attestation clause is one of thoso fallacies of the lay mind which, perhaps, cluster mojv fmjueiitlr a »d with ft greater persistence round qtiestious connected wHb testa•uentarv disposition than those of any her branch of the law. Therefore, vce jrsust take the will to have been ptvprrly excented in accordance with the spirit of the statute. And now we cosr.e to what at present strife*-* me as the err v. Tho will is undated.

to tackle the case. But.T say, what is to he done next? Yon see, I'm afraid it is too late. Probate has issued, whoever that may mean." "Probate has issued!" echoed the great James, struggling with his rising contempt "tnd«is the law so helpless that probate which has been allowed to issue under an erroneous apprehension of the facts cannot be recalled? Most cert ami not! So soon as ities are concluded to revoke the probate, and claiming that tho court should pronounce in favor of the later will or, stay, tbero is no executor—there is no executor!—a veiy important point, claiming a grant of letters of administration with the will annexed. I think that will be tho better course." "But how can you annex Miss Smithers to a 'gnnit of letters of administration,' whatever that may mean' said Uustaee, feebly. "That reminds me," said James, disreing the question and addressing his •other, "you must at once file Miss Smitlicrs in the registry, and seo to the preparation of the usual ailidavits of scripts." "Certainly, certainly," said John, as though this were the most simple business in tho world. "WhatV" gasped Eustace, as a vision of Augusta impaled upon an enormous bill guard rose beforo his eyes. "You can't Ulo a lady It's impossible." "Impossible or not, it must bo done before any further steps are taken. Let me sec I believe that I)r. Probate la the sitting registrar at Somerset Houso this sittings. It would bo well if you made an appointment for to-morrow." "Yes," said John. "Well," went on James, "I think that is all for tha present. You will, of course, let me have tho instructions and other papers with all posslblo speed. I suppose that other codnaol besides myself will be ultimately retained?" "Oh! that reminds mo." said Eustace, "about money, you know. I don't quite see bow I am going to pay for all this game. I havo got about fifty pounds sparo cash in tho world, and that's nil and I know enough to be awaro that fifty pounds do not go far in a lawsuit."

VW9 W UVi IO*VM V» recalled? Most certainly tho preliminary foraml*d, a writ must be issued

Blankly James looked at John and John at Jamos. This was very trying. "Fifty pounds will go a good way In out of pocket fees," suggested James at length, rubbing his bald head with his handkerchief. "Possibly, answered John, pettishly "but how about tho remuneration of the

Slalntlff'sEustaco—"manage

legal adviser? Can't you"—ad-

resslng to get the money from some one?" "Well," said Eustace, "there's Lady nolmhurst. Perhaps If I offered to share tho spoil with her, if there was any"—^ "Dear me, no," said John "that would bo 'maintenance.'" "Certainly not," chimed in James, holding up his hand In dismay. "Most clearly it would be 'champerty and did it como to tho knowledgo of tho court nobody can say what might not happen." "Indeed," answered Eustace, with a sigh, "I don't quite know what you mean, but I seem to have said something very wrong. The odds on handicap are child's play to understand beside this law," ho added, sadly. "It Is obvious, James," said John, "that, putting asldo other matters, this would prove, Independent of pecuniary reward, a most interesting case for you to conduct." "That is so, John." replied James "but, as you must bo well aware, the etiquette of my profession will not allow mo to conduct a case for nothing. Upon that point, above all others, etiquette rules us with a rod of iron. The stomach of tho bar, collective and individual, is revolted and scandalized at tho idea of one of its members doing anything for nothing." "Yes," put In Eustace. "I have always understood that they were regular nailers." "Quito so, my dear James quite so," said John, with a sweet smile. "A fee must bo marked upon the brief of learned counsel, and that fee must bo paid to him, together with many other smaller fees for learned counsel Is like the clgarctto boxes and new fashioned weighing machines at tho stations bo does not work unless you drop something down him. But there is notldng to prevent learned counsel front returning tho fee, and all tho Httlo fees. Indeed. James, you will see that this practice is common among the most eminent of your profession, when, for instance, they require an advertisement or wish to pay a delicate compliment to a constituency. What do they do then? They wait till they find £500 marked upon a brief, and then resign their fee. Why should yott not do the same in this case* In your own interest? Of course, if we win the cause the other aide or tho estate will pay the costs and If we lose you will at least have had the advantage, the priceless advantage, of a unique advertisement." "Very well. John let it bo so," said James, with magnanimity. "Your checks for fees will be dulv returned hat It must be understood that they are to be presented." "Not at tho hank," said John, hastily. "I have recentlv had to oblige a client," he added by die way of explanation to Eustace, "and my balance Is rather low." "No," said James "I quite understand. I was going to say "ate to be presented to my clerk.

And with this solemn farce the conference came to an end.

CHAPTER XTII.

ROW ACUC8TA WAS FILED.

That very fcfternoon Eustace returned to Lady Holmhurst'a house in Hanover square, to tell his dear Augusta she must attend on the following racing to be filed In the registry at Somerset Bouse. As may be imagined, though willing to go any reasonable length to oblige her sew found lover. Augusta not unnaturally resisted this coarse violently, and was supported in her resistance by her friend Lady Koimimrst. who. however, presently kft the room, leaving them tosottlo It as they liked. "I do think that is a little hard," said Augusta, with a stamp of her foot, "that, after all that I haw gtme tfcr—:rfc. I should be ta&e® *i to have toy a* sate back started at by a doctor some one wetter, and ttea be *!mt up with a kit of wnsty will* la a wgtetry."

rERRE HATTTE SATUljpAY EVENING MATT,

wills?" asked Augusta, feeling very cross. "I don't know, I am sure," said Eustace "Mr. John Short says that that Is a mat* ter which the learned doctor will have to settle. His own opinion is that the learned doctor—confound him!—will order that you should accompany him about wherever he goes till the trial assies off, for, you see. in that way yon would never be out of the custody of an officer of the court. But," went on Eustace, gloomily, "all I can tell him, If ho makes that O! vlcr. is, that if he takes you about with him he will have to take me. too." "Why?" said Augusta. "Why? Because I don't trust him— that's why. Old? oh. yes I daro say he is old. And besides, just think, this learned gentleman has practiced for. twenty year in the divorce court! Now, I ask you what csn you expect from a gentleman, however" learned, who has practiced for twenty years in tho divorce court? I know him, went on Eustace, vindictively—"I know him. Ho will fall in lovo with vou himself. Why, he would be an old duffer if he didn't." ••iieally," said Augusta, bursting out laughing* "you are too ridiculous, Eustace." "I don't know about being ridiculous, Augusta but if you think I am going to let you be marched about by that learned doctor without my being there to look after you, you sre mistaken. Why, of course ho would fall in love with you nobody could be near you for a couple of days without doing so." "Do you think so?"' scud Augusta. looking at him so sweetly that a wave of happiness passed through him. "Yes, I do," ho answered, and thus tho conversation camo to an end and was not resumed till dinner time.

Eustc.ee, who had managed to get a few days' leave from his employers, arrived with Mr. John Short to take Augusta and Lady Holmhurst—who vra3 going to cha pcron her—to Somerset Houso, whither^ notwithstanding her objections of the previous day, suo had at last consentea to go.

Mr. Short was Introduced, and much impressed both the ladles by the extraordinary air of learning and command which was stamped upon his countenance. He wanted to inspect the will at once but Augusta struck at this, saying that it would bo quite enough to have her shoulders stared at once that day. With a sigh and a shako of tho head at her unreasonableness Mr. John Short submitted, and then tho carriage camo round and they wero all driven off to Somerset Ilouse. Presently they woro there, and after threading Innumerable chilly passages reached a dismal room with an almanac, a dirt}r deal table and a few chairs in It, wherein wero congregated several solicitors' clerks, waiting their turn to appear before tho registrar.

Presently, however, somebody poked his head through the door, which ho opened just wide enough to admit it, and bawling out— "Short, re Meeson." vanished as abas he had come.

Tow, Lady Holmhurst, if you please," said Mr. John Short, "allow rae to show the wav, If vou will kindly follow with the will—this way, please."

In another minute tho unfortunate "will" found herself in a large and lofty room, at the top of which, with his back to tho light, sat a most agreeable loo: middle aged gentleman, who. as th^gr a vanced, rose with a politeness that one does not generally expect from offidw£s on a fixed snliiry. and, bowing, asked them to be seated. "Well, what can I do for yon? Mr. ah! and referred to his notes—"Mr. Short— you wish to file a will. 1 understand and there arc peculiar circumstances of some sort In the case?" "Yes, sir there ire," said Mr. John Short, with much meaning. "Tho will to be filed In the registry Is the last truo will of Jonathan Meeson of Pompadour Hall, in the county of Warwick, and the property concerned amounts to about two millions. Upon last motion day tho death of Jonathan Meeson, who was supposed to have sunk In the Kangaroo, was allowed to be presumed, ana probate has been taken out. As a matter of fact, however, tho said Jonathan Meor.on perished in Kerguolen Land some days after the shipwreck, and before ho died he duly executed a fresh will In favor of his nephew, Eustace H. Meeson, tho gentleman before you. Miss Augusta Smithers" "WhatI" said the learned registrar, "is this Miss Smithers, whom we have been reading so much about lately—the Kerguelen Land heroine?" "Yes, I am Miss Smithers," she said, with a little blush, "and this Is Lady Holmhurst, whose husband"—* and she checked herr-elf. "It gives mo mnch pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Smithers," raid tho learned doctor, courteously shaking hands, and bowing to Lady Holmhurst— which Eustace watched with iclon. "He's viper," tfaid that ardent lover to himself. "I know how It would be. Trust my Gus into his custody? never. I had rftther be committed for contempt." "The best thing that I can do, sir," went on John Short impatiently, foxy to his severe eye, these interruptions not seemly, "will he to at on6e offer inspection of the document, which, I state, is of an unfaual character," looked at Augusta, who. poor girl, to the eyes. "Quite so, onite so," said tho learned regis' r:ir. "Well, has Miss Smithers got the Perhaps she will produce it. "Mi-- Smithers Is the will," said Mr. John Short. "Oh—I'm afraid that I do not quite understand" "To ho more precise, sir, the will is tatto-^ on Mi— Smf*Vsre." "V.. if ahi. it uted the learned doctor, literally bout ng from his chair.

said Lady Holmhurst, sol

emnly, though she was, as a matter of fact, almost bursting with laughter, tor anything more absurd than this learned gentleman looked, intrenched ss ho was behind his office chair, with perplexity written on his face, it would be impossible to imagine. "•Well," he said at length, "I suppose •intt I must come to a decision. It is a painful matter, very, to a person of modest temperament. However. 1 cannot shrink from my duty, and must face it." "Old hypocrite," said Eustaco to himself, with a snarl. "Therefore," ho went on, with an r.ir of judicial sternness, "therefore, Mir*r. ".t lias, I must trouble you to sho.. v- your back. There is a cupboard and he pointed to the corner of the room, "where yon can make—'um—make the necessary preparations." "Oh, it isn't quite so bed as that," said Augusta, with a sigh, as sho began to remove her jackct. "Dear me," he said, observing her movement with alarm, "I had better lock the door. I suppose she is hardened," he continued to himself as he did so, "but I dare say that one gets used to this sort of thing upon desert islands."

Meanwhile poor Augusta had got her jacket off. She was dressed in a rather low ovening dress, and had a white silk scarf over her shoulders. This she removed as the learned registrar returned. "Oh," he said, "I see—in evening dress. Well, of course, that is quite a different matter. Ladies need never wear anything to speak of in tho evening. And so that is the will—well. I have had some experience, but I never saw or heard of atything like it before. Signed and at-

I could not stand any more tattooing. It war all done at one sitting, and I got faint." "I don't wonder at it, I am sure. I think it is the bravest thing I ever heard of," and ho bowed with much grace. "Ah," muttered Eustace, "ho's beginning to pay compliments now, insidious old ruffian!" "Well," went on the innocent and eminently respectable object of his suspicions, *'of course the absence of a date does not invalidate a will—it is matter for proof, that is all. But there, I am not in position to givo any opinion about 'he case it is quite beyond me, and besides, that is not my business. But now, Miss Smithas you have once put yourself In tho 'y of tho registry in the capacity of a will, might I ask* if you have any

era £ufl

suggestion to make as to how you aro to be dealt with. Obviously, you cannot be locked up with the other wills, and equally obviously it is against the rules to allow a will to go out of the custody of the court, unless by especial permission of the court. Also it is clear that I cannot put any restraint upon the liberty of Jhe subject and order you to remain with Ine. Indeed, I doubt if it would bo possito do so by any means short of on act parliament. Under these circumstances m, I confess, a litt?o confused as to at course should ho taken with referto this important will."

What I havo to suggest, sir," said Mr. ort, "is that a certiffed copy of the will should be filed, and that there should bo a »1

special paragraph inserted in the affidavit Df scripts de said Ing his eyeglasses, "you havo given me an idea. With Miss' Smithers' consent we will file something better than a cer^ftif

scripts detailing tho circumstances." Ah," said tho learned doctor, polish-

tittd copy of the will—we will file a photographic copy. Tho inconvenience to Miss Smithers will bo trifling, and it may prevent questions being raised hereafter.' "Have you any objections to that, my dear?" asked Lady Holmhurst. "Oh, no, I suppose not," said Augusta, mournfully "I seem to be publio property now.' "Very well, then, excuse rae for a moment," salcl tho learned doctor. "There is a photographer close by whom I havo had occasion to employ officially. I will write and seo if he can come round."

In a few minutes an answer came back from the photographer that he would bo happy to wait upon Dr. Probate at 8 o'clock, up to which hour he was engaged. "Well, said tho doctor, "it is clear that I cannot let Miss Smithers out of the custody of the court till the photograph Is taken. Let mo see—I think that yours was my last appointment this morning. Now, what do you say to the idea of something to eat? We are not five minutes' drive from Simpson's, and I shall feel delighted if you will make a

pleasure of a necessity.' Lady Holmhurst, who was hungry, said that sho should bo most pleased, and, accordingly, they all—with the exception of Mr. John Short, who departed about some business, saying that ne would return at 8 o'clock—drove off in Lady Holmhurst's carriage to the restaurant, where this delightful specimen of the genus registrar stood them a most sumptuous champagne lunch, and made himself so agreeable that both the ladles nearly fell in love with him, and even Eustace was constrained to admit to himself that good things can come out of the divorce court. Finally the doctor wound up the proceedings, which were of a most lively order, and included an account ef Augusta's adventures with a tout. "I hen from Lady Holmhurst,'1 he said, "that you two young people are going to take the preliminary step—om-itowam a possible future appearance in tint court with which I had for many years the tenor of being connected—that is, that you are going to get married. Now, matrimony is, according to my somewhat

hands him warmly, and then and there a friendship began between tte two which endures till now.

And then they all went back to tte office, and there was the photographer waiting with all his apparatus, and astonished enough he was when he found|out what tho job was he "had to do. However, the task proved on easy one enough, as tho light of tho room was suitable, and the dark lines of cuttle ink upon Augusta's snowy skin would, the man said, come out perfectly in the photoglyph. So he took two or three shots at ner back and then departed, saying that he would bring a life sized reproduction to be filed in the registry in a couple of days.

And "after that the learned registrar also shook hands with them, and sold that he need detain them no longer, as he now felt justified in allowing Augusta out of his custody.

And so they departed, glad to have got over tho first step so pleasantly.

neverages of tho Confederacy. Lovers of the fragrant after dinner Mocha were forced to put up with a decoction of sweet potatoes that first had been cut into minute bits and dried on a scaffold in the sun as country housewives dry fruit, and then roasted and ground in a worn out coffee cull or brayed in a mortar with a pestle. In yet more uorthern latitudes parched rye furnished even a poorer substitute for the eastern berry, while coupled with the use of this last makeshift was tho vulgar superstition that it produced blindness.

Tho old women and Dr. Johnsons of tho Confederacy, who could not exist without their fixed number of cups of tea a day, drowned their happy memories of hyson in a solutiou of raspberry leaves, or the mora medicinal preparation of tho root of tho sassafras bush. It was agrewsome time, and thero were thoso who survived bullet and blade to surrender at last to indigestion aud acute dyspepsia.

Tho number and character of intoxicating drinks were many and varied. Corn and rye whisky abounded, while in some latitudes pino tag8 aud even potato peelings went into tho impromptu still to come out pure "mountain dew." No internal revonuo system aroused tho iro of tho nntrnmmeled distillers, and alcoholic liquors were cheaper iu proportion than most other commodities yet tho amount of drunkenness was not what might havo been expected. A t'avorito small beer iu thoso sections where tho persimmon trees nourished best was mado of the fruit of that tree, and was called, in tho vernacular of at least ono part of tho Confederacy, 'possum toddy."—A.

A Case or uysentery.

Tho diet should bo chicfiy milk aud lime water, uncooked beef juice, tho whites of eggs and water, and light meat broths. No solid food should bo allowed. Drinks lukewarm aro most easily borne cold fluids generally causo abdominal pain. Stimulants should only be administered by tho advice of tho physician they are rarely needed exceptin iu tho most desperate cases. When the Uwrst is excessive plain soda, barley water or gum uruhic water aro palatable and refreshing. During convak»scenco tho diet is to bo most carefully regulated, and when tho putieui begins on soliu food ho should indulge only in tho whito moat of fowls, delicate fish and very light puddings.

The first stop is to removo as early as possible all irritating matter from tho bowels by a cathartic.

accomplish thij th?re Is no

safer remedy than castor oil. If taken clear vomiting will very likely bo induced. Therefore, it best to havi' a drucglst specially prepare It. Ho should mako into an emulsion ono ounce of castor oil, and to it add twenty-fivo drops o." laudanum that dose Is for a full grown person. In many instances If this is taken within a few hours after tho attack commences, and a proper diet is regularly adhered to, no other treatment will bo needed. By tho use of the oil the dysentery is converted into a simplo diarrhoea, which soon disappears of itself.— Boston, Journal of Health.
