ever, remained unshaken, and he deter
mined to hold resolutely to the slight
advantage already gained, and, II pos
sible, TO push 1t still farther.
"Now consider, Mrs. Maynard" he
resumed, In an argumentative way,
consider how the case must look TO
our opponents. You are the claimant,
the person in whose interest this will
was forged. Mr.. North Is your con-
fidential legal adviser, presumably the
person by whom your whole course has
been dictated. 1t has already been es-
tablished that the New York lawyers
who represented you in court, Messrs.
Hopkins and Shepherd, are in no man
ner connected with the forgery. Prac-
tically, then, this divides the RESPONSE
bility between the claimant and her
confidential legal adviser. At the very
outset, however, arise two separate and
distinct hypothesis, either Of which Is
sufficiently plausible. First, that you
were fully aware Of the character Of
that will before II was discovered in
court-in fact, when IT was first put
forward in support Of your claim-and
an active and willing agent In the con-
spiracy by which It was produced; or,
secondly, that you are the innocent VIC
tim Of a scheming and dishonest law
yer-myseh, for instance-who, not
having the fear Of the law before his
eyes, forged this win by his own un-
aided efforts, ,palmed II off upon you as
genuine document, and boldly carried

lutely that both voice and manner
were icily calm when she answered him.
"Your suggestion, Mr.. North?" There
was delicate sarcasm in her tone as
she repeated the words. at is unworthy
Of mel will not give II n second
thought! Have you so little true idea
of me, thenP Do you really believe me
TO be capable of the utter heartlessness
of such a course? Oh, never! Even II 1
did not blame myself so bitterly for
this-and my self-reproach is unspeak-
ablel--I could never consent TO take
such course as that. Whatever conse-
quence may threaten you, whatever
consequence may overtake you, in
Cured for my salSe"-her voice was but
family audible here, and her eyes, now
filed with tears, fell before the grave
steady gaze of his-"let me sharep'
North bowed his head and stood a
moment a very effective figure, tall,
slender and motionless, outlined
against the portiere. His whole atti-
tude expressed more than the most We
hement words could have told of deep
overmastering emotion; but his eyes, as
they were bent upon the floor, flashed
only with cool and merciless triumph.
$50 l was right" he thought-with
a cruel, passionate exultation. "IIas
she not admitted IL completely? Now,
for proofs more tangible, and then !
shall hold everything in my own handsl''
The brief dramatic silence came to an
end, and in quite his usual tones North
said, lifting his eyes to Mrs. Maynard's
face:
when may come again to consult
with you further about this matter,
Mrs. Maynard?"
There was weary effort shown In
the answer that came in low tones from
the still white lips:
II am at leisure every morning except
Wednesdays. Come when you will
when II is necessary"
He bowed and turned away from her,
carrying with him last vague impress
sion that as he disappeared beyond the
sweeping portiere her voice had uttered
a name in a swift, impassioned, half
smothered appeal-not his name, though
evidently the appeal was meant for
him.

TALL TREES.
fro BE CONTINUED.

The Worlds Largest Timbsrs and Where
They Are Found.
The Kew Bulletin tells as that "the
tallest gum trees and the tallest trees in
the world are found in the gullies Of
Victoria, several trees having been
measured that were more than 400 feet
high. and the highest was All feet"
Visitors to the .Indo-Colonial exhibition
will remember the size and beauty Of
other Australian woods, especially Of
the specimens exhibited In the Queens
land court. The finest tree in the
world is said to be the Agassiz, one Of
the sequoia gigantea, 81 feet in diam
eter, nearly 800 feet in height, and Of
remarkable symmetry. At the Paris
exhibition Of 1873 there were shown no
fewer than $3.50 specimens Of wood
from India, belonging to 9Oo species and
432 genera. And a more recent exhibi-
tion, that held In Edinburgh in 1884,
made us acquainted with the glories Of
the Japanese woods, and those OF the
Andaman and Nicobar islands.
Go to the East India docks and you
win see the huge logs OF padowk
(pterocarpus Indicus), a tree rivaling
mahogany in the depth Of the color Of
its wood and the density Of its texture.
Here, too, the stinkwood, the oreo-
daphne bullata Of South Africa, vies, in
spite Of its ill-chosen name, with the
teak (tectona grandis) Of Burmah and
Malabar. Or, II you prefer to see grow
ing timber, cross over to Germany and
note the massive beech trees Of Hesse
Nassau, whose branchless stems con-
tains no less than 1885 cubic feet per
hectare, or nearly 5000 cubic feet Of
timber per acre.

"That dreadful mani He insists upon
my driving with him this morning, and
he win not be put off, though have
pleaded every possible excuse 1t is
very rude to send you away, Mr.. North,
but the major's.will is our law, and he
has to be humored like q child"
North slowly walked across the draw
ing-room with his head bent and his
eyes fixed upon the carpet until he
reached the arch doorway with its
sweeping porticre; then, turning
around, he lifted his head and looked
calmly at Mrs, Maynard across the
little'distance separating them. There
was faint flush of excitement on his
face, a smoldering fire in his eyes, a
curious touch of repression in his man
ner; strangely, too, suggestion Of
triumph that he vainly sought to sup
press
II am obliged to go now, Mrs May
nard, " he said, slowly, "but / shall see
you soon again. In the meantime l ask
you to consider very seriously the sug-
gestion that have offered. 1t is vital
ly worthy of your attention"
Again the color came and went in
her cheeks, her breath futtered and
her white fingers closed convulsively
together. 1t was evident that at his
words some powerful tide of emotion
had swept over her, almost overwhelm-
ing Mr. with its force, but, quickly raj
lying, she controlled herself so reso-

CHAPTER vIII.-coNrrNuEp.

"In the first place." he began, looking
Mt her SO steadily and keenly, with such
strange attentiveness, that her eyes fell,
she scarcely knew why, "this document
purporting to be the last will and testa-
ment Of Mrs. Jane Dunkirk was repre-
sented to be, and in truth did appear to
be, in the handwriting of James Ker-
nan, Esq, now deceased, but formerly
a prominent New York lawyer. 1t was
inevidence, and not disputed at all, that
the late Mr.. Herman was for several
years-a period embracing the date of
this will-Mrs. Dunkirk's attorney, and,
naturally, the person to whom she
would intrust the drawing of this docu-
ment. So far, very good. There is a
fair degree of plausibility for us, just
on the surface. But unfortunately
competent evidence was produced by
Hunter and Ketchum, showing that on
or about the 10th of July, which is the
date of our will, you know, and for q
certain time previous and subsequent to
that date, the late Mr.. Herman was in
Europe, and therefore he could not have
had any active personal share in this or
any other transaction of like nature
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1893-06-21

that may have occurred in New York
during that time. In short, they proved,
by the utter impossibility of the thing,
that the late Mr.. Herman did not draw
that will, all our representations to that
effect Notwithstanding! There, you
perceive, is their first point, as clear as
MONDAY; it is something that we can
not possibly controvert."
"Can It be possibleW exclaimed Mrs.
Maynard, looking up at him with the
words. "They proved, did you say, Mr.
North, proved that Mr.. Herman was in
Europe as early as the 10th Of July2"
"They proved it, Mrs. Maynard, in
black and white; proved it by his own
unconscious testimony; proved it, re-
gret to add, beyond a peradventure or u
shadow Of doubt"
"Oh," she cried impulsively, with a
quick disdainful little gesture, "to
think, Mr.. North, that we should have
failed TO detect so fatal discrepancy
as thatl",
at is amazing" assented North dry
ly. "Nor is this all. You see, the fault
lies primarily in that date. In the sec
ond place, one Of the witnesses-let me
see, what was his name2" He threw
his head back reflectively, and the sharp,
gray eyes swept the frescoed ceiling for
an instant.
"Was IL Norristownp" suggested Mrs.
Maynard, family, as she twined the
slender glittering links Of her watch
chain around her finger, in preoccu-
pied way.
'it was Norristown, thank you" The
sharp gray eyes returned with the words
70 Mrs Maynard's face. "Well, then,
Il was shown conclusively that Norris
town died exactly ten days previous to
the date OF the will ian unquestionable
alibi, by the wayD which important
fact, In the Judgment Of the court, rem
dered all his subsequent proceedings
invalid, at least within that jurisdio-
ton"
"Norristown Is dead2" echoed Mrs.
Maynard, with quick change Of color.
Then she added, in tone Of tragical
despair:
81 perceive that you are right, Mr..
North; shred by shred the unsubstan-
tial fabric is going to tattersl What
next?"
Next" pursued North, with rather
inexplicable smile, 1--WE come TO the dis
closures made by the experts. The
whole affair, you see, has been merci-
lessly sifted. Hunter and Ketchum are
unrelenting."
"Unprincipledl Mercenaryl" cried
Mrs. Maynard, with sudden little fash
Of resentment "All that they wish Is
TO secure for themselves handsome fees
from the estatel"
"0h, possibly" returned North, with
indolent amusement. Nevertheless.
my dear Mrs. Maynard, whatever their
motive, the fact remains-they are re-
lentless Up to this point the only evil
dence offered has been the ordinary
verbal and documentary sort; but now

WAITING Foa HE ANGELS.

Waiting through days OF fever,
Waiting through nights OF pain,
For the watt of wings at the portal.
For the sound Of songs immortal,
And the breaking Of lifes long chain
There is little to do for our dear one
Only TO watch and pray
AS the tide Is outward drifting,
AS the gates Of heaven are lifting.
And its gleam is on her way.
The tasks that so often taxed her.
The children she held so dear,
The strain Of the coming and going,
The stress of the mending and SEWN
The burden OF many year,
Trouble her now no longer;
She is past the fret and care.
On her brow is the angels token,
The loolrof peace unbroken.
She was never before so fair.
You see, she is waiting the angels,

For us there are loss and sorrow;
For her is the endless morrow,
And the roaping-time OF the heart
