surprised and pleased with the doctor
who had cured him by substituting an
GER for fear
After supper, Adolf was sitting in
his room alone with his thoughts and
his cigar, when Mr.. Sam Blake, the
acting host of the hotel, made him a
call. After congratulations on Molier's
recovery and general conversation,
Blake said to Adolf:

Blake feigned Indifference and soon
left.
On the next afternoon, old Tom
Blake fell down paralyzed. From the
hips down, all sensation was gone;
and DIR. Goforth found other very
grave symptoms, and advised the old
man to make final arrangement of his
affairs for the last journey.

and firmly; ''my will has been made

She drew an envelope from her
bosom and gave it to him with the seal

She broke the seal and by his in

The old man could barely say:
$50 to Cincinnati yourself; find
joe" when the paralysis stopped his
speech, and an hour later, his life.
Old Tom Blake was buried with due
ceremony and little sorrow, cx-
