AT Port Byron, Iowa, has lived for
35 years an old and very eccentric
character named Charles Gray. He
used to drive a stage between there and
Dixon, Ill.,, on the route to Chicago, be-
fore any railroads were built. He has
lately lived alone, and had few associa-
tons. On Saturday, Dec. 80, he was
found dead in his bed, the cause of his
death being heart disease. He had al
ways been supposed to be quite poor,
but upon looking through his effects
after his death greenbacks and Govern
ment bonds to the amount of about
$4,000 were found in his trunk. He is
not known to have had a friend or rela-
tive in the world, and his fortune is
now looking for an owner.

No easy task, as Martin Bruce soon

personal sacrifice to carry out his plans
for Trixy. Mrs. Hayes would not part
with her slave, except for consider

school in which to place her. But at
last one was found in a small country
town, and Trixy most sincerely prom
ised to study diligently, and prove her
self worthy of the kindness bestowed
upon her.
The parting was sore wrench, but
Martin Bruce was happy in the con-
sciousness that he had done all for the
child that lay in his power. For four
years his letters from Trixy proved her
rapid progress in every study she I'M
