Yes she answered firmly, Il can, and will.
If they applaud such dancing as that will
astonish them before the night is over
l saw she was coming to herself, and felt re-

far more grace and effect
The ballet began with an exhibition of Sylvia's
disciples, and they acquitted themselves well
as to be much applauded. OF sudden Fanny
bounded on the stage A murmur of surprise
and admiration ran through the house They
now behed the fair creature their fancies had

New YORK. Nov 29-When Mrs Margheretta
Ross died short time ago she left a will di-
recting that all her personal property be sold and
the money divided between her five children.
The appraisers went to work yesterday at her
home on Second street, near Avenue A, and
after fixing the value of every piece Of clothing
and furniture belonging to the dead woman at
its highest value, found that the amount was
only $50. Mrs. Ross previous to her death in
formed one of her sons that his share of her es-
tate would be something over 81, 600
This excited the suspicious of the appraisers and
they went to work to find where the 81, 600 was
coming from. After examining the house for sew
eral hours they found in a little dirty cupboard
a small box They broke several knives in open
ing the box when what appeared to be a second
empty dirty box was seen within. The bottom
sounded hollow and it was taken out Nearly

he is communicative enough He told me how
he happened to become partner with Dor
sey, of starroute fame, in his famous
stock ranch in New Mexico Dorsey and his
partners were Interested in the ranch and some
of them became dissatisfied and wanted either to
buy in or sell out Dorsey and one or two others
decided to purchase the others interest and in
order to do so had to raise $3.50 600 in cash
Ingersoll negotiated the loan, for
which he received one-eighth interest
in the concern He went out there and
was SO well pleased with the climate, location,
SURROUNDINGS and mode of life that to use vul-
gar expression. he got stuck on it." and de-
termined to arrange to spend the summer there
with his family He conceived the idea of build
ing log cabin for their occupation, and did So
erecting one containing sixteen rooms. its
external appearance is one of primeva
fudeness, but within it is handsomely and even
luxuriousy furnished. and cost him nearly $50,
600. The ranch is at the base of the Raecoon
range, in the Rockies, and Colonel Ingersoll says
that it affords the finest shooting and fishing to
be found in the country He is enthusiastic in
his account of the place, and says that when ne
retires from business it shall be to make his
home there with his family.
