The mother had, no doubt, left it when

to tell you the truth years ago. but they
feared that you might come to love them
less. but ] am confident that your adopt

providing for you, for he assured me as
much not more than a year ago"
Mary was very xlilte and, clasping
her hands. snd "lf had only known
the truth | would have been prepared
for t6is, but feel as if had no place

1he good priest urged her not to dos

be delayed. bat it would surely come.
Mr. Wallace's advice was brief and to
the point ''The plaintiff can, I am as
sured, prove that Mary Gaines was only
an adopted child, and. therefore, not
entitled to inherit. But have every
reason to believe that there is will -
So shall make all due inquiry in that
direction"
Among many old friends was Billy
Burton, clerk in the Reading railroad
main Office. IIo was thirty if day,
but acted as it only fifteen, balancing
the Office stools on his nose and playing
popular melodies on the shovel and
tongs, nearly driving his official super
iors wild. But he was withal bright aud
shrewd. He was present when Wal
lace's letter was read, and suddenly par
alyaed the company by shouting Good
God, what fool am Where's my
hat?' and then he rushed out of the
room at racing speed.
Billy walked rapidly along talking to
himself: "What big hammer-headed
chump am to have forgotten that. It's
about two years ago when old Gaines
was watchman. was full as goat
aud he let me into the Office at night to
sleep it off. English Brown was there
too. 1t all comes back to me. They
asked me to witness paper, and old
Peter made his mark like railroad
crossing, and now to fnd Brown"
That gentleman was found, and fora
wonder, sober. He had been lawyers
clerk, and but for drink could have got
along in the world. Burton poured u
food of questions on him eyes, he
had written Peters will did not know
that Peter wns dead; of course he had

took off his tall tile, and after removing
numerous articles threw on the table u

it. eyes, there's my fist, sure enough.
Leaves all his property to his wife for
life, and at her death to his adopted
daughter, Mary" and then Billy shouted
Here's 81, Brown, you'll be taken
care OF"
The paper was taken by Wallace to
Clarion county, its execution proved,
and the crowd that had thrown them
selves like vultures on the dead mans
wealth were discomfted. Mary aud
Bernard were married in due season.
The estate amounted to nearly $780,
900, and Billy Burton and old Brown
were not forgotten. .--Phita. Times.

Examples for Children.

A Swedish boy fell out of the win
dow and was badly hurt; but with
clinched lips he kept back the cry of
pain. The king, Gustavus Adolf
phus, who saw him fall, phrophesed
that the boy would make a man for
an emergency. And so he did, for
he became the famous General Baur.
A boy used to crush the flowers to
get their color, and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineers gazed at as wonder
full. He was the great artist Titan.
An old painter watched Il little fell
low who amused himself making
drawings of his pot and brushes, ca
sci and stool, and said, "That boy
will beat me one day" So he did,
for he was Michel Angelo. A Ger
man boy was reading a blood.and-
thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it, he said to himself, "Now, this
will never do. get to much excited
over it. ] can't study so well after it.
So here it goes !" and he flung it into
the river. He was Richter, the great
German philosopher. DO you know
what this means? Why, simply this,
that in boyhood and girlhood are
shown the traits for good or evil that
make man or woman good or not.

The fluids of the body vary in color from

Disease is to the kidneys what consumption

Of the Grand River Coke and Coal COM

miles west OF this city, on the line OF the
Midland road. 1t broke out last night
in the following manner: At about O
O'Clock, the supper hour, two Of the
miners on the day shift placed a shot In
room No. to let down the coal which
was caught above. During the meal
hour the shot went of, which ignited the
gas therein and consequently set fire To
the entire room. The fire has spread to
rooms Nos = and 3. and is liable 10 com

OF the mine. No one was hurt.
A large fire broke out at the south
west banks OF these vast mines early
last fall. This fire has ever since been
smouldering and gathering gas, which is
liable TO blow out the wall built across
the entry so as 10 stop the air from get
