" I would ink you to mad !hi afternoon," said the
lady, on rising, "but I don't think Mr. Ross quite well
enough. Hs saw our physician this morning, and the

I plaeol the little nos. in the workinan's hands tot
repair; and the next morning. punctually •t eleven, I
was at Moon's Hotel, socompanied by • porter with a
goodly uortment of jewellery.
A few words from the manager set me quite at ease
though oly inquiries were • mere matter ot form. Mr.
Elliaton Ross need in Yorkshire. owned coal mines, and
was in town to visit the court physician, Sir Ealing
Dean ; had been there once before for the same rearon ;
perfect gentleman ; his lady quite an angel—waited on
him night and day.
I was 'boon into the room where Mrs. Ross was seated
—this time wiliout her ruperator. She rose with a sad
smile, and motioned me to • seat; while putting on bee
respirator. she went into the next room, remaining
sib.ent • few minute. ; anal then returning, requested
me to bring in my cases for Mr. Roes to see.
I Ind left tho porter downstairs; so. taking up the
two small leathern boxes, I followed Mrs. Ross into a
slightly shaded room, where, looking deathly pale. the

blue cloth dressing gown, and had • email table drawn
up to hi. aide, on which were a bottle, glass, and •

wore a respirator • but he removed it for a few
moments to take • little of the barley-water, and then
carefully replaoed it., coughing hollowly the while.
" tidrry to bring you into a -ick room," he said, cour-
teously. "Sorry, in fact, to bring you here at all, for I
would much rather have chosen the trifle or two I
wanted at yoer shop. I trust you have not brought

"Only • few that Mrs. Roes thought that you—that
your lady chug,. sir," I said,
Ho nodded, and ttien listlessly examined fint one and
then another ornament, as I opened them out, but
always with • di...64;8ml air.
"Done you like {hose, dear?" said Mn. Rosa in
rather disappointed tones se I displayed in the best
lights the pearl suite.
"No; not at all," said the invalid. "Too plain;
almost vulgar."
" May I he allowed to suggest," I said earnestly,
"that to see pearls to advantage they must be worn.

1 paused here, and glanced towards Mrs. Rosa, who
smiled graciou-ly, and then clasped the bracelets round
her shapely wriat, the necklace over her fine throat, and
placard the tiara in her hair —looking almost regal as
the stood before us.
"You see the difference" I said, drawing back.
" Yea, yes," said the invalid impatiently : "they
look well enough on her; but they are for quite • girL
Take them off, Lille."
Mrs. Rosa obeyed, and the ornaments were replaced
in the cue ; when I proceeded to display the other
jewel., but apparently to find no favour.
" Here, Lille, give me • glass of sherry. Confound

" For toy mike, dear," I heard her whisper, to him,

I saw • tear trickle down Mrs. Roaa's cheek as she
fetched a couple of decanters from • sideboard where
they stood with gleams.
" you some cake, or did you send it down?'
he said iinpati•lntly.
" I have it herd, dear." ,aid Mr.. Ross softly; and
she placed • portion of • amall pound cake upon the

" Giro me • glass of sherry," he sadd impatiently.
"No, not that glass- the othsr. Mr.—l droll know

" You'll lind It very good.
" I thank you," I asid quietly; "but I never take

I wouil much rather not," I replied.
"A httle cake," suggested the lady, "We are

I bowed, and declined, when Mrs. Roes readjusted bar

"In the name of God. Amen. I, William Dunlop,
of Galrbresd, in the township of Colborne, meaty of
Huron, Western Caned.. Esquire, being in mound health
of body and mied, which my friends who do not Better
me say is no great shakes at the best of times, do make
my last will and testament as follows, revoking, of
coarse, all former wills. I leave the property of Clair-
broad and all other property I miy be possessed of to
my sisters, Helen Boyle Story and Elisebeth Boyle
Dunlop, the former becauee she is married to minister
who (may God help him) she henpeck+ ; the latter
because she is married to nobody, nor is she likely to be
for she is an old meld and not merket rife. And also
I leave to them and their heirs my share of the stock

and if either of them should die without issue the other

Louisa Dunlop, all my sham of the houvehold furniture
enl such traps with the exceptions here-
after mentioned. I leave my •ilver tankard to
the oldest son of old John, as the representative
of the family. I would have left it to old John himself,
but he would hare melted it down to make temperance
medals, and that would have Steen sserilea. However
I lease him my big born snuff hoe—lie cal only make

I leave my late brother's watch to my brother &tidy—,
exhorting him at the same time to givo up Whiggery
and Hadeslism, and all other sins that do moat easily
beet him. I leave mr brother.in•lsw. Allan, my

credit to it. I leave to Parson Chevasse my big silver

of my grstltude to him for trilciog my sister Maggie,
whom no 'Dan of taste you'll have taken. I leave to

of a slatternly wife. I leave my books to my brother
Andrew, becsuie he has beet jingling wally, that lie

A FORTONI TZLLIIR COMUITTED FOR TWO MONTHS
HARD LAMM-0o Friday morning Lyntia Adamaw..
alias Sigreater, residing in San Honey, Yeovil, was
brought up in custody charged under the Vagrant Act
with professing to tell fortunes. The particular cam
upon which prisoner was convicted war as follows :
Reich, wife of Police Sergeant finish, stationed at
Queen Camel, deposed that on Thursday last about •
quarter to one o'clock, she went to prisoner's house to
have her fortune told. She saw prisoner and asked her
to "tell her • few words." She asked witnese if she
was married, and she replied that she (prisoner) ought
to be able to tell her that. l'risoner then said " Yoa
are married to a dark complexioned man," and she then
made the following mystic revelation, whisk mu,t be
particularly interesting to Sergeant Hush, Prisoner
said, "Your husband is a bad-minded envious man,
and lies about with • short dark complexioned woman.
You have men nothing bet !nisi ry since you have been
married, bet if you will give me something I wiU stop
your husband from saying anything further to her."
Witness than salted her what she charged. She said
Is. 6d., or • shilling for cutting the cards. Witness
gave her shilling, and she told her to call again and give
her something more. She Raid she would stop witness'a
husband in his bad way., and that she had many such
mem. For her services in erne of them she had received
Fos much as 7s. 6d. Sometimes she bad as many as six
and twenty persons at her house in • day. She could
do good or evil just as she was paid. Prisoner denied
the statement.. Seen,. Ffolwell proved apprehending
prisoner on the charge. She told him that she did not
charge Mrs. Huith anything. In fact she
charge. She had told scores of people's fortunes in her
time and received pounds for doing so. and should again,
and would tell the sereeant's then if he liked. The
bench considered the ease fully proved, and seated psi-
suer to, two months' hard labour. The ease created
considerable interest, and during the hearing the ap
preach to the court was crowded by • motley group.
Prisoner ham been preciously convicted.
