uncle would forget such persons as his ser
wants, for whom he always said that h
would provide.
1.-The had wished that, said Algernon, hi
would have made the necessary provision.
| must now tell you secret, which, mos
likely, is new 10 you. Your uncle has :
child
Come. sir, rejoined Algetoh, jokingly, yor
calumnlate my uncle, your friend. How.
this.
am in earnest, sir, replied Mr.. Martin
aDgrlly. BY a private and unfortunate
marriage he became the father of Edward
Ingestre, as he has been named; he is an
excellent young man though, by his moth
er's fault banished from The parental ROOT
until of late. Do you mean to fulfil at least
that portion of your uncles intentions
Let that alone-my uncle would never
have committed himself so far have too
much veneration for his memory to believe
that!
1t is a fact; and can assure You that
many time he has thought of instlutng
this son his absolute heir.
Nonsense! | will hear no more sir,
The notary insisted OH the will being pre-
scented.
The will said he,-the will where is
the will! Perhaps, sir, you were expect
ing legacy.
The notary cody replied;
No; you are well aware that I am salts
fed with whatI have, and do not covet more:
bat for the sake of your nEcle's old servants,
of Edward, conduct yourself honoraby;
seperate some fragments of your rich lcga-
cy; be just, my friend, and--approaching
the death bed-dont make me repent of
what promised your uncle. His intention
was TO leave others fortune. when he was
at liberty to dispose of as he liked. have
restored to you the favor which you had
lost. Now, if the will be not found, do tn
TO others what they would have done for
you, or else will certainly be obliged TO
exact justice.
Affecting to obey the notary, Algernon,
opened the drawers of the desk in which
Mr.. Martin suggested that the will ought TO
be found.
You see, sir, said Algernon, you must
have mistaken the meaning of my uncle's
words, or he could not have been conscious
at the time.
You are then certain, sir, that there is no
will!
So ii seems; and you must now be of the
same opinion.
We shall see, said Mr.. Martin, opening
the door TO all persons in the adjoining
room. Two years ago Mr.. Slopcr made
will, which he deposited in my hands.
wherein he disinhcrts his nephew, and ac>
knowledges young man by the name of
Edward lngestrie as his heir: have direc>
tons TO enforce the execution of this will
unless one of later date be fonnd.
By mere accident the nurse opened the
window through which Algernon had just
viewed his flocks, and Mr.. Martin percev.
ed near ii small piece of paper half burnt,
OH which he distinguished Mr.. Sloper's
hand writing.
All! remarked the good notary. It's plain
enough. Let some one Instantly post TO
town, and apprise Edward Ingestre of his
good fortune. Are you going Jepson! Ills
well, you are an honest fellow, and TO YOU
will also confide another charge. Here
is my charge: call AT -, and present il;
and bring with you at the same lime q
yonng lady, named Isabel ChesterfieId.-
Edward, if | conjecture Alright, would not
object 10 her as a companion on Il much
longer journey than this!
