-But what shall | qay' I asked Of
my VBplej show Sidll I be able 70
carry out such strange condition:
Have you expressed it in your willE'
"Yes, indeed. have ic answered,
sand legal and binding you'll find II,
rs expressed in the wocds. 50 long as /
am well above ground "
"But what an to 60 with y5a?' J
again asked.
"Oh. run me up aioft, IiIsthaad me,
anything Y.,u nk", but don't bury
well" went on Mr.. Gayliag. "to
mike 4 long story short. | found that
the conditions of the old mans Will
were binding.and his eXeGutCgS and my
elfhit upon the plan Of h9isting the cOf=
finOnto the rQCf iGf the house. Under
certain conditions We found that it
was possible for us legally 10 do this.
SO ! dismissed my three servants, em-
ploycd Il country undertaken, my old
Ships carpenter, and foreign giaZicr.
in order that the matter should not bc
talked of in the neighborhO0d, and uer-
sonally saw the arrangements oaFfled
out. YOu can now understand my
reason for not having It meddled with;
yes, sir, and you can now understand
that the conditions Of the will must
take effect. No sign on the coffin or
the body was to be discovered i'll the
ruins of that house. | have had the
rigid search made to no purpose, the
old gentleman's remains have been
consumed, have mingled with mother
earth, and the money passes, rs = mat
of course, 10 the Seamaa'S Hospital. |
have not penny in the world. What
can you do for meI'
1t is not necessary fur me to say
what did for Mr.. Gayling, but, find
ing by Il visit to Doctors Commons,
and by other evidence, that his story
was substantially correct. ! felt his
case was a hard one, certainly q strange
one. AND / acted, | hope not ungener-
CuSly toward him.
