In the hope of effecung some sort of set
t!ement than anything else. But the avail
able evidence was so unsubstantial that
the lawyer himself regarded the case as
hopeless The niece had nothing to show
in support of her claims. The woman was
obstinate, and would not listen to any
proposition of settlement. The lawyer
finally concluded that he would write a
letter to the opposing counsel to the effect
that he would proceed no further with the
case which would simply be dropped. Just
then a curious thing happened
The girl had, OF course, been Informed
that She had nothing to expect, she must
simply resign herself to the, inevitable So
she decided to make a personal appeal to
the woman to let her have just one thing
the old mans Bible, which had lain by his
bed within reach. AS the Bible was not
valued by the widow, the request was
granted. 1t WAS not a book OF any inter-
est to her. Afterwards, on turning over
the pages of the Bible, the girl was sur
prsed to find a paper carefully folded be
tween the leaves. This proved to be
nothing less than her unce's Will duly ex-
ecuted. and leaving to her as substantial
a portion of his property as she had ever
expected or sought.
There is a grim humor In the cunning
Of the dying man hitting on a hiding place

was safe from loss and the scrutiny of the
woman he feared. You may be sure that

-pARSON HARWOOD'S CURVES,
BY Bert Estes.


Galia City. like most Ohio river towns.
had a mixed population full of sharp an
tigon.~ns, social, political and religious
Notwithstanding there was one local in
s,uution. about which there was only one
mind. The Gallia City Base Ball Club,
the apple of the municipal eye. was felt
TO be set for the city's defense against the
world in general-and the nine from Cen
terport in particular.
CenterpoIt, few miles down the river,
was d high-headed little town, given to
yaunting itself unseemly, and challenging
other towns TO come out and meet their
doom. Worse than that, Centerport had
in hand a large stock of doom, and was
liberal in applying it-over the diamond.
The mutual sl0rn of Centerport and Gallia
Cty had something tragic in its intensity.
To beat Centerport was the summit of
Gallian achievement Centerport lived
only 70 repeat its victories over the hated
foe In both business of all sorts was
transacted, as a sort of adjunct to the
larger mission in life.
Brent HARDWOOD came TO Gallia City to
supply Dicksons pulpit while Dickson,
poor man, was away in hospital. Dickson
was the Presbyterian minister. Harwood
was to live in the vacant parsonage and
take his meals over with the Potters
Dickson had arranged all that. Harwood
hoped he had arranged also for some one

boat from Cincinnati early one Saturday
morning and looked about, he found none

not a military mdn-he had been baptized

understand, he told also of the challenge,
and of Gallia Citys predicament. Har-
wood listened, drumming softly on the
strings OF a fine guitar. At the end he
said:

again named gloves he said almost rough

A LUCKY FIND.
Will Discovered in a Discarded
Bible.

The following incident was related by
the attorney engaged in the case. It
was in his Office one languid afternoon
when he was in a reminiscent mood
While the lawyer appreciated the roman
tic outcome, the earlier stages Of the case
presented more of difficulty than romance
A credulous old sailor in a seaport town
had acquired a snug little property. and
settled down to end his days in peace
and quietness. There lived with him an
orphan niece of whom he was fond, and
whose kindness and gentleness did much
to comfort his declining years. But with
the easy temperament on Jack on shore
the cid man i'm time fell victim to the
wiles Nof a designing housekeeper whom
he married. His life with her was I'M
happy, and 4, she treated the niece with
great harshness.
The girl rendered the old man every
service possible. and nursed him through
The long Illness which result ed in his
death. He had informed his niece that IN
return for all her care and service, she
should be generously remembered in his
win While the man lived. his wife got
everything into her hands that she could ;
and when he died she claimed everything
in sight.
Notwithstanding the assurances given
to the girl that she should be provided for
by the WILL no such instrument could be
found after the old mans death The
woman denied the existence Of any will
and she probably was not aware Of such
a document. Feeling secure in the pos
session Of what she claimed. she deter
mined TO keep a firm grip on It all What
aggravated the situation was the fact
that she was dissolute in character and
habits and untitled for the care or enjoy
ments Of anything of value.
The question was how could the niece
obtain that share in the property which
she had been led to expect, and which she
! felt righlfully belonEed TO her She SOUGHT

Fatal Accident Near Las An,m.s.

Roy Davis, aged IS, and Geo.
Riley, aged II, both OF Las Ami
mas, were killed about noon las,
Sunday at the second crossing
west of that town. S. Davis,
father of one OF the boys, was en-
deavori ing to cross the track ahead
OF freight train bound east The
train was pulled by engine No 700.
with Engineer Cox in charge, and
was running at the rate OF about
fifteen miles an hour. The team
succeeded in crossing the track,
but the engine struck the wagon
and mashed il into kindling wood.
The boys were thrown high in the
air, landing on their heads, and
both had their skulls fractured
Davis was instantly killed and
Riley died within an hour or two
after the accident.
The coroner OF Bent county i'm
panelled jury Immediately after
the accident and held an inquest
at Las Animas. Engineer Cox
and the train crew were held ur-
til $50 O'Clock in the afternoon to
give testimony at the inquest, when
they were released, as it was de-
cided to postpone further proceed
ings until the Sth instant. This
latter fact caused rumor to be
circulated in this city that Engi-
neer Cox had been arrested, but
there is no truth in the report.
The tragedy was due entirely to
the carlessness of the driver of the
team. There is a straight track
for three miles on either side oi
the crossing, and the driver could
not have helped seeing the train
il he had been on the lookout.
