not present to look after them, and an
unusual silence prevailed, Pippino en-
tered the dining-room, which was also
used as a sehool-room, and there he be-
held two flushed faces and disordered
heads bent each over a sheet of note
paper, and two pens travelling heavily
and slowly over the white surface. The
boys were writing to an elder brother in
India, whom they both agreed in making
an idol of.
At last Hugh spoke, in a half-surly
tone, for quarrel had only this minute

in distress, Give just begun to tell him

''Oh. but you can easily scratch it

"But I won't scratch it out, said
Paul and seeing a suspicious movement
on the part Of his brother, he hastily laid
his little sojled hand over the page. and
the ink being wet and thickly laid on,
the consequence was that the few SEN
fences he had so laboriously accomplish
ed were blotted almost beyond recogni-
ton, and the hand he turned in dismav
toward his brother was smeared with
ink.
But instead of expressing the sympa-
thy Paul evidently expected Hugh only
burst into malicious laugh, saying,
sneeringly: you see, you had to rub
it out. I'm so delightedn'

frenzy and there presently ensued a
chase round the table, the coyerof which
was almost dragged off in their rough
contact with it, Hugh holding his own
letter all the time alott, and. confident in
his superior swiftness and dexterity, en-
perlencing almost d pleasant feeling of
excitement in the race, while poor little
Paul, his heart bursting with its sense OF
wrong and injury, and his eyes filled
with tears he could scarcely repress,
struggled vainly after him,
But there was another party in the
chase, Of whom neither of them was
aware and this was Pippino the goblin,
VINO capered after them in an ecstasy of
delight, though his time for action had
not yet come.

OBITUAR Y.
Death of E. Gilbert Austin

The death of E. Gilbert Austin, that oc- cured at his residence on Elm street yester- day shortly before noon, was not entirely un- expected as it had been known for number of days that his recovery was extremely doubtful. One week ago Sunday about o'clock in the morning, while passing the Tontine Hotel, he slipped on the ice and seri- ously fractured his right leg at the ankle He was removed to his home and after his limb had been properly cared for appeared cheerful and hopeful as possible under the circumstances. On the Tuesday following, however, he was attacked with brain fever and from that time until he died never fully recovered consciousness. The deceased, who was about forty-two years of age, was well known throughout the city He was genial companion and possessed one of the kindest ot hearts. No one ever went to him in need, if they were honest, and went away empty handed. He was open and frank in his con versation and honored everyone who held honest opinions though they differed from his own, and thoroughly despised hypocrisy in anyone. MT. Austin was the son of the late Abner Austin, who for many years was the senior partner of the firm of Austin & Gilbert, and most of his life was passed with the firm, of which his father, until his death, was the head. He leaves wife, an adopted daughter and sister, Miss Sarah Austin, to mourn his sudden death. MT. Aus tin always took deep interest in the societies with which he was connected. He was 8 member of the Montewese lodge and Golden Rule encamp- ment I. o. o. F., of Rathbone lodge, Knights of Pythias, and Roger Sherman lodge, Knights of Honor. He was also a member of the Odd Fellows Mutual Aid association, from which his widow will receive $2, 900, and also $2,- 900 more from the Knights of Honor.
 The funeral will take place on Friday or Saturday, the time depending somewhat up- on the arrival of friends from the West.

I am going to quit the practice of law, for time at least, and devote all my leisure to general reading. A man engaged in the practice of law can-or should-read nothing but law books, and can read only small proportion of the number of important law books that are issued. When he quits reading law books he should quit practising law, for law is very jealous mistress, and will not accept divided or partial attention. 1 find that while have been practising law l have neglected general reading, and am away behind on the literature of the past twenty years Senator Harrison.
