Discussing 1t at Some Length.

the clock and yawning, sis that tall,
slender young Hanlxinson still coming
to see Bessie?'
"IIe is" answered Mrs Billus.
"Acts as if he had a-h'm-lean on
the premises, doesn't hep"
"He seems to-h'm-long for her so
ciety."
Mr.. Billus looked at his wife out of
the corner of his eye, but she appeared
serene and unconscious, and he tried it
again.

do you think?"
~ think the prospect is decidedly
ah-slim."
There was protracted pause, and
then Mr.. Billus asked in a casual way:
"Does he move in the-aw-upper
circles?"
"He is-aw-highly connected" re-
sponded Mrs. Billus, severely.
And he went to the door. looked out,
remarked that the wind was due north,
and believed it was going to be colder,
and went softly upstairs to bed. Chi

spirit. She knew it was foolish, but
she heard that rasping voice calling
her everywhere, and at all hours:
Daniels wife, Daniels wife" and
in the night she would rise hurriedly
from troubled slumbers and go over
the house as if in obedience to the
''call," and return pale and trembling,
the cold perspiration bathing face and
hands, while Daniel slept on undis-
turbed by her waking idiosyncracies
But he, too, saw that his wife was af-
fected by the strange happening, and To
divert her mind and give her something
else to think of he suggested tearing
down the old house, and planting the
new orchard.
She assented indifferently. Farming
was not to her taste, but she loved her
husband and tried with wifcly interest
to take part in all his schemes. So
couple of neighbors were invited to as
sist, as the custom is in farming com
munities, and the old-fashioned win
DOW easements and the doors were re-
moved, and soon a sound of ripping and
tearing saluted Loretta's ears. 1t
brought back the presence of the old
man, and his last cry; she could hear it
as distinctly as if he were in the next
room. Often in the night when she
heard it in dreams she awakened with
glad feeling that she was still alive,
breathing, hoping, loving woman,
not clod out in yonder place where he
lay. She loved life even under its pres
ent disappointments, for always while
there is life there is hope
Daniels wifew That was no ghost
ly voice, but real living cry from
warm lips Other voices took it up,
! and Loretta hearing the call ran out
into the sweet May air and saw her
husband waving a paper he had and
men running toward her with curious
| little parcels in their hands, and one
and all they shouted: daniels wife"
What could it mean? Daniels had to
explain it half dozen times before she
could sense" it. The poverty-stricken
old man, Uncle Abner, had died enor-
mously rich, and the old house was his
bank. 1t was filed between the walls
with lining of gold and silver, and
+, deeds of vast possessions that no one
had ever heard of, and there, too, was
q will written on letterback to save
paper, but duly signed and attested,
and it left everything, silver, gold and
i lands, to Daniels wife.
If the bad news of his "call" had
flown fast, the good news of his wealth
flew faster. More people knew Loret-
Ia than Loretta knew. The golden
lever moved off the incubus of supersti-
nothing supernatural about gold or
silver or bank bills.
And Uncle Abner's "call" proved the
j open sesame to all the joys OF the world
for Daniels wife.-Detroit Free Press.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1895-06-01

when in one of his returns from the
border land he opened his eyes and
looked upon the faces of those about
him, then said, in his shrill voice:
Daniels wife"
Loretta stepped hastily to him, and
took the cold hard hand in her soft warm
palm, but with those words he ceased
to breathe. There was no more COM
ing back-Uncle Abner had gone the
way of all flesh since Adam, and the
only one TO shed tear for him was
she whose name was last on his lips, in
that form of address customary with
him.
But the effect of his words on all
gathered there, excepting Loretta her
self, was most remarkable. They lett
the deathbed with precipitate haste,
and grouped together in the other room
began to talk in hushed tones over
Uncle Abner's last words and to dis
cuss their different forms of supersti-
ton which had proceeded so far as the
splitting Of salt, when Loretta herself
appeared among them, and immedi-
ately became an object of the greatest
interest.
Don't take It to heart" suggested
one.

marked another.

one neighbor in n tone that indicated
exactly the opposite of what she ex
pressed

A sign of Contempt.

When Panurge meets the English
man we are told that he, Panurge-
perhaps out of delicate compliment to
our insular manners and customs
suddenly lifted up in the air his right
hand, and put the thumb thereof into
the nostril of the same side, holding
his four fingers straight out, and closed
orderly in parallel line to the point
of his nose, shutting his left eye
wholly, and making the other wink
with profound depression of the eye
brows and eyelids." The left hand is
then brought into line much as in the
more modern process. The perform
ance thus described by Rabelais is
somewhat more elaborate than that In
favor with the London street urchin
of to-day, but was probably effective
enough.--All the Year Round.

asked Loretta, who did not catch the
drift OF their vague insinuations.
"Why. you know" stammered an old
lady who was rather afraid of Daniels
wife, who was considered very clever,
"when folks are a-dying, IL Is said that
the last name on their lips will be the

city,"
III that's NIL, you needn't worry
about me-" said Loretta, quickly. II
shan't die till my time comes, and that
won't be set by Uncle Abner, I'm very
sure"
"N-o, said another of the company,
"but the dying are often gifted with
fore-knowledgc. There was my hus-
bands sisters second son; he died out
in Californy just the same time to q
minute that his mother died here, and
he said her name with his last breath
The knew"
'Yes-maybe," said Loretta, "but
Wen eat warm supper now, and
you'll all feel better, and"-with de-
cision--''we won't talk about Uncle
Abner's last words any more"
This only added fuel to the sup
pressed flame, but at least the friends
were polite enough not to talk about
the matter before Loretta They car
ried it to their homes, and discussed it
there, and talked of it ut the general
store on Saturday nights. and it was
not long before Daniels wife was
looked upon as a doomed woman.
Did she know it? Yes, Daniel him
self told her of the reports, and they
laughed over them together Loretta
declared three was not grain of

would not die any sooner for being

They were a company of plain coun-
try folk who had assembled at neigh
boris deathbed, that of dccrcpit old
man, Uncle Abner Field, who had just
passed away. He was feeble and child
ish, but as a relative of their young
neiphbor, Daniel Field, he commanded
some respect. For himself he was
covetous, grasping and ill-tempered,
and as no one cared to have him about
he lived alone in a tumble-down house,
when Daniels wife-pretty Loretta
Price, that was--took pity on him and
invited him to make his home with
them, Daniel agreeing to everything
that she suggested.
.'lt's too dreadful to have the old
man living and dying alone there when
we have room to spare and bite ana
sup for him. He's your own flesh and
blood, Daniel, and we must do as we
would be done by" Loretta had said
OF course the people who attend to
everybody's business but their own
said that Loretta expected TO get some
thing for her goodness but she laughed
at the suggestion that poor old Uncle
Abner, who had always been the per-
sonifcation of poverty, had any money.
She would have demanded it percmp-
torily if only TO make him more com
Portable, for her husband was poor,
farming not being his vocation. Like
herself, Daniel was educated, and
longed to see the world, but she was
more practical and did not disdain
present opportunities. But she was
working beyond her strength before
she took Uncle Abner in.
And never once did he try to tighten
her labors by any consideration on his
part AS long as he was able to be
about he spent much of his time in the
old house which he owned, as well as
the three acres of ground pertaining to
it, and this he decided to Daniel with
much formality and many specifica-
tions. The whole property was worth
few hundred dollars, if ever pur-
chaser could be found.
"Well tear down the house and
plant an orchard on the land Daniel
had said, but his wife had no interest
in it one way or another. More land
was not one of her hobbies; less would
have pleased her better.
Now Uncle Abncr was dead, but in
dying he had evolved strange and
portentous omen from the realms of
superstition. He had lain for many
hours in an unconscious state, with all
the friends and ncighbors of the fam
lily gathered about him, as the custom
obtains in rural districts, and several
times he had actually ceased to breathe
