The good priest urged her not to despair

Mr.. Wallace's advice was brief and to

sured, prove that Mary Gaines was onlyaC
adopted child, and, therefore, not entitled
TO inherit. But have every reason to be-
lieve that there is a will. So make all due
inquiry in that direction.
Among many old friends was Billy Bur

Office. He was present when Wallace's
letter was read, and suddenly paralyzed
the company by shouting: Good God.

mark like railroad crossing. And now to

That gentleman was found. He had
been lawyers clerk, and bat for drink
could have got along in the world. Burton
poured n food of questions on him. Eyes,
he had written Peters will; did not know
that Peter was dead; of course he had the
paper; it was in lis at" So he took off his
tall tile, and after removing numerous ar

The paper was taken by Wallace to Cla-
zion county, its execution proved, and the
crowd that had thrown themselves like
vultures ON the dead mans wealth were
discounted. Mary and Bernard were mar
ried in due season. The estate amounted
to nearly Ss00,0O0, and Billy Burton and
