The house was opened at the usual hour
Saturday morning, Mr.. Holt, the member
from Lincoln, offering prayer
House bill No. 2l3, bill to incorporate
the town OF Benwood, and
House bill No. 392, q bill creating an in
dependent school district in the county Of
Barbour, were passed.
On motion Of Mr. Leonard the House
took up for consideration the reports oil the
Joint committee to examine into the
charges OF the newspaper publishers for
printing the Constitutional amendments.
The majority report recommended thepay-
ment Of two hundred and twenty
five dollars to each OF the papers,
while the minority report recon.
mended In effect that all papers
charging oyer$iOO' be allowed that amount,
and all under tnat amount to be allowed
the full sum OF treir charges. The debate
on the subject was very lengthy and ami
mated, occupying the greater part OF ths
morning, but finally the majority report
was adopted and the newspaper men made
happy. The vote stood 2S-to %,
Mr.. Hall, OF Barbour, then moved that
the Phillip Pldiadedler be paid four hun.
dred dollars This brought on more dis
cussion, which was finally broughttoa close
and the motion voted down.
Mr.. johnson introduced House bill No
IA, and then the House took recess.
The afternoon session was occupied with
various hum-drum work, which developed
nothing OF general interest.

THE STOLEN WILL.

he said to his attendant Was,-
"Send for Miss Work; I must see
Fife Work before die"
Singular as the demand was, no one
thought of questioning it. Miss Work
was sent for.
Efie turned quite white when the
strange, imperative summons first.came
and she was told that he who sent it
was dying.
#Dying!' she whispered, her blue
eyes dimmed with tears.
"What can he want? Shall you 60,
EAiepn asked Pauline Ruble who was
visiting her.
"Oh, yes, yes. Poor old man! am
so sorry for him! Certainly will 60.
But I am SO frightened, Pauline. I
never saw any one die"
The pretty, childish creature was
trembling from head to feet Pauline
mt her arm around:t the slim figure and
drew the golden head down upon her
shoulder. She was several incher taller
than Fife, and much handsomer in her
own opinion.
"Little fool!" she thought as she ca
ressed the pale face with her white
hand. "Of course it, is something
about Louis Van Writ" Aloud she
said irsinuatingly, IT had better go
with you, dear. Don't you think
SOP"
r., ooh, if you only would" Efie cried
eagerly.
Mrs. Work was an invalid, and could
not accompany her daughter, so she
was glad to have Pauline go with her.
As the carriage drove off with the two
girls she sank back upon her couch
with thoughtful look.
ut must be something about his
grandson. I do hope Effie won't be
silly"
The girls were shown at once into
the sick mans apartment.
81 wish to see you alone, Effie, my
child" said he, with frown toward
Pauline.
"I'll wait for you in the next room,
darling" said Pauline, and withdrew.
"Mr. Louis has come, sir" the SER
want said as he was leaving the room in
obedience to an impatient gesture from
his master.
"Let him watt" the old man said
grimly.
The night being arm, the windows
we're open. The sick room and the
one next to it both looked out upon a
wide veranGa, which ran across the
front of the house. 1t was easy for
Pauline to step out upon this and go
to the window of the sick room.
81 want to know what he wants OF
her, and she is such an obstinate chit
sometimes, she might not tell me-"
Il have sent for you Effie, to ask if
you love my grandson, the dying man
was saying.
Fife, poor child, was trembling 80
she could hardly stand.
