| overcame dignity when the foam-flecked
and painting horses of the undertaken drew
| up IN front of the entrance to the crema-
| tory.
The ice chest was Snatched from the
| hearse, borne hurriedly into the furnace
room, set upon the iron platform, wheeled
| into the very center of the white flames
| whose waving. curling. twisting tongues
| seemed reaching out 10 their fullest length,
impatient for their prey. and the iron doors
slammed shut with q loud resounding
clangor
At that instant woman, hatless and
breathless, with disheveled hair burst into
the furnace room.
Hold, Hold she shrielied, and then her
hands flew TO her face and staggering back
ward and striking heavily against the wall,
she sank limp and lifeleSs in heap on the
stone floor of the furnace room.
But the two men in charge had neither
eyes nor ears for Mrs. Timmons. As the
doors closed they Sprang to their posts of
observation in front of the two peepholes,
and stood watching the effect of the flames
upon the huge ice chest
Its wooden covering parted here and
there with loud crack, laying bare the
metal case, from the seams of which burst
titful pufS of steam. Then came sight so
strange and curious that the two men held
their breath as they gazed upon it! BY the
vaporizing of the water from the melted ice
the flames were pushed back from the chest
and it lay there for an instant as if pro-
tected by some miraculous aura.
Then happened something which caused
the men TO reel and stagger as if their limbs
were paralized by drink. and which painted
their faces with as deep pallor as deaths
own hand could have laid upon them.
From the furnace depths ccame forth a
dull, mufied cry of ''Help Helpr'
Making desperate effort, the men tore
open first the outer and then the inner doors
OF the fire chamber. As the air rushed in,
the lid of the metal bhest burst silently
open. Again the cry Of ''help,'' rang out,
and two hands quivered for an instant above
the edge of the chest, then with loud and
defiant roar the flames closed in upon it. and
began TO lick it up generously. The doors
were banged shut, and John Winkletip had
his way.
But the Dingee million seemed to draw
back instinctively from the touch of the
worthless Cy Winkletip.
With loud cries of joy the various bene-
ficiaries under Martha Delury's Will now
discovered that Cyrus Winkletip was born
on the 18th day Of August. and that as his
father had departed this life on the 10th day
of August, the son was not of full age when
his father died. But the law put an end to
this short-liysd Joy hy making known one
