any assistance to him.
NAV, yer can't do nothing fer me;
it's business trouble" he explained.
''Ah! have you lost your position?"
I asked.
"Naw; and / wouldn't care if I
had. The president of our company
is the worst old duffer in New York. "
"Does he ill-treat you?" ! said,
kindly.
"Naw; he doesn't even know me

mistake of afixing to the will the
name of a person who had died few
DAYS before the death OF Major
Nordrum, thus corroboratlng that
part of Mrs. Patterson's state
ment which fixed the time Ground
wig prepared the will as sew
eral months after the Majors death.
Groundwig's cunning was manifest
in the provision of the will, bequeath-
ing large sum to the popular Lutn-
eran Church. The bequest made many
advocates of the validity Of the Will;
Witnesses were. called, who proved
that while there was no such church
at the time of Nordrum's death, such
an organisation was talked of, and at
the time of the trial was the most
prosperous church in that part OF the
country. No doubt the church was
being built when Grounding framed
the will, but he made the mistake OF
not ascertaining whether such an as
sociation was organized at the time OF
Nordrum's death.
No further evidence was introduced.
The lawyers made their arguments
long, learned, and able pleas on both
sides. The Judge read his charge to
the jury, reviewing the testimony on
both sides, the jury retired in custody
of a bailiff and the court was adjourned
until the next morning.
