Perhaps Sister Frances had had a

She turned her back when she saw
how Alexander's tears rained down

The Probate Court has had before it
one of those cases, plain to lawyers,
but, puzzling to psychologists, which
have never ceased to recur since wills
existed and mental capacity has been
closely studied. A shrewd man of
business, who has accumulated a small
fortune and is perfectly able to take
care of it, makes a will which on the
face of it shows no trace of infirmity
in the testator His solicitor sees him
in the course of preparing the will, and
thinks his client entirely sane. He Of
ten meets his client after the will is
executed, and he sees no reason to con-
slider anything seriously amss with his
mental condition. OF one delusion-
| the notion harbored by his client, Mr..
| Hounsell, that he was the son of the
late Lord Onslow-the solicitor became
aware But later Mr. Hounsell said
that that he had forgotten about it;
and he left on his solicitor the impress
| ion that he was sensible, shrewd, and
| ievel-headed.
| When, however, his papers were ex-
amined at his death, it was found that
| his mind had long been honeycombed
with gross and wild decisions. He
| believed that he was related to the late
Lord Onslow, and he had been engaged
In voluminous correspondence on this
subject with members of the royal

men of all sorts. He was under the

bers Of the aristooracy had set their
minds upon his not obtaining the on
slow estates until he apologized. His
life had been saved, he believed, by
favorte horse, which never failed to
lash out at those who would have
murdered him, His decisions seem to
have increased and multiplied. OF Lord
Salisbury, he wrote, II am told he is
my cousin" In another letter he re-
marked. Il have been informed that
am related to members of the royal
family He penned letters to the Queen
and the Prince of Wales asking pardon
for supposed offences; and he believed
that attempts were being made to bring
about marriage between himself and
Miss Mary Anderson.
For years, it is clear, he had harbored
the rankest and grossest decisions. But
he had kept them looked up in his
breast. Rarely were these about him
permitted to detect what were, it is now
revealed, his abiding fantasies. We do
not wonder that Sir Francis Jeune re-
fused to recognize the will of Mr.. Houn-
sell-from the view of a sensible man
OF business, from another a hopeless
lunatic. Nor Is it to be doubted that
the President did wisely in refusing
to order payment out of the estate Of
the cost of executors who had before
them a mass of correspondence full of
| unequivocal marks of insanity. The
interest of the case is that in many re-
! spects the testator was perfectly sane,
and that the scene of the will was I'M
Objectionable except so far as it passed
over relatives.-London Times.
