by fastest steamer to New York. Ar
riving there they would cross America
and gradually work their way around
the world and back to London In a year
or two. George Webley was rich and
could easily afford this kind of we'd
ding tour. In o!S.eh times the parents
OF Tilly Markham would have been more
anxious that their daughter should
marry George Webley rather than the
poorer, but of course more moral young
man, Tom Bantry. But times had
changed, and 1t was the daughters that
now looked for money with their lovers
The glrl admitted to herself that she
liked Tom Bantry best. but he had GER
tainly treated her very badly. They had
had an appointment for picnic up the
river but without n word Tom had gone
away. anl worse stiil he had sent no
explanation or excuse for his desertion,
SO Tilly thought she would teach him u
lifelong lesson. and knowing well that

LIKE JARNDYCE VS.. JARNDYCE
Years Of Litigation Over Cynthia
Hesdra's Estate.
Tho Contestants Have Agreed to
Settle the Affair Amicably.

There has probably never, since Dick
enss celebrated case of Jarndyce VS..
5arudyce, been a more complicated liti-
CATION than that over the estate of Gym
thia Hesdra, colored wash woman
which is now approaching settlement.
Cynthia had coined money out of soap
buds, and at the time of her death, In
1873, owned house in West Third street
and another In Nyack, N. Y. Her hus-
band, Edward. who applied for letters OF
administration, was met by n host OF
Cynthia's kin, who claimed to be heirs.
After several flercely fought legal battles
Edward cut the Gordian knot of litigation
by producing n will by which Cynthia
Ibequeathed to him all her property.
Then began battle-royal over the
igenuineness of the will. and a jury de-
clded in favor of Edward. But the joy
Of victory was too much for Edward and
he died.
After his death the contest was re-
newed. Amanda Tordoff, a white girl,
who says she is the daughter of the
widow of Solomon Hesdra, a brother of
EDWARD, now appeared as claimant.
The courts of New York and Rockland
counties were appealed to. Creditors
filed lites Dendentes. claims and count :
er-claims were set up, partition suits
were instituted and all the parapher-
nalia of the law was set in motion to

Once more matters were expe-
dited by the production of a will.
Millard f. Onderdonk. son of one John
v. Onderdonk. who had died while try
ing to establish Amanda's right to the
property, came forward with will
purporting to have been made by Ed
ward Hesdra. and dividing the estate
as follows: To Amanda Tordoff, $1,000;
to Hattie. Solomon Hesdra's widow,
5000; to two children of Amanda Tor
don. $1,000 each; to Eugene Hesdra,
S5,UO; to Julia Sandeson. $1,000 and to
Cynthia Jeffreys, So 600; then to the Jew
ish Society. of New York, Mount Sinai
Hospital and Nineteenth Synagogue, of
this city, in all about $4,000 Millard
+. Onderdonk was named as executor,
This will was cont ested by Amanda,
who secured Gen. benjamin T.. Tracy
as counsel. With varying fortune the
case was again fought all the way 10

This being sent off she turned TO the
man who had been her friend all the
way through.
"Now." she said, take me to the Mid.
land train" AS the guard hesitated.
she added: II am going to give you no."
The guard personally conducted her to
an empty compartment of the London
train. She scribbled n note to Webley
on the back of telegraph blank. The
note read:
Dear George: have concluded rot to
go to America this trip. Our proposed
elopement was a very foolish affair. ana

"TILLY MARKHAM"
There" said Tilly, giving the note to
the guard with the parting tip, Take
that to the young man who is guarding
his luggage. Don't tell him where
have gone, nor give him any informa-
tion. He will offer you much money. Of
course. because he has plenty. Take the
money and tell him l have gone 70 the
country. Tell him anything you like.
only not where l have really gone" All
of which went to show that Tilly had no
conscience.
The guard touched his cap and de-
parted. After the London train had
steamed away from its station the guard
handed George the note. He did not get
the money he expected. A look OF relief
passed over the young fellows face. and
he swore u little. Then he whistled. ana
said to himself more than to the expect

sat in her corner by the window and
carelessly turned over the let ters in her

She rapidly tore open the envelope
and read: THE matter on which l wish

She took another OF the telegram
