destroyed that will. How its destruc-
tion was prevented we've got to find
out. If we do that, other things will
follow. The law and the public are
against disturbing such dispositions,
however capricious and unjust; but if
we can show that at the time of the
execution old Amerson's mind was Ia
boring with unfounded prejudices
against his son for marrying as he did
it will go hard if we can't at least di-
vide the jury and afterwards drive
Vile to some sort of compromise; and
if we can put on his tongue the spring
of that influence, we'll bring an action
of SANDER ancillary to other proceed
ing. In hunting such a rat as Amer
son, we've got to employ every artifice,
trap, dead-fall, shotgun and bane. Eh,
Dabney? Eli, my boy?''
Without waiting for a response he
continued:

to say, but I'll wait till they get into
clear shape. I'm tired. Come by after
breakfast in the morning and we'll

in getting out of the pit, not an OK nor
an ass, but n widow and an orphan.

world Still, like to live in it, old as
I'm getting and with all that I've seen

After he had gone the next morning
the young lawyer felt, and so assured
his client, that the case was stronger
than he had hoped.

case deep, black and damning there
cannot be a doubt; and the people OF
that settlement where Mrs. Amerson
was born and brought up ought to take
some pains to help in finding it out"
After somewhat of further CONVERSE
tion Mr.. Flint left the office. When
ready to start home he repaired again
to the big Indian"

Faster than usual, Mr.. Flint, as II to
keep up with Rachels, drank his toddy.
When he had finished, looking at the
tumbler sorrowfully, and turning 1t

While using these she had second fall,

the operation, made up my mind she
