 I watched him for few minutes, eX- pecting to see him go down every 1n- stant. Then I went along up the em- bankment to where some soldiers were lying, waiting for their turn to go In. I had two Mexican silver dollars in my pocket. I showed them to one of the soldiers and pointed to the pony. The man grinned and spoke to one of the comrades Then the two of them walked out into the field, broke off a few stalks of corn, and enticed the nonv into letting one of them grab the dangling end of the strap.

Schnurer who found Taubins condition serious and learning that he had no relations in Vienna, caused Herr Yogi, the banker, who was de- scribed to him as a friend of the pa tient, to be communicated with. Herr Voei came. and when he saw Taubins critical state, knowing that Taubin had once expressed an intention of leaving his property for philanthropic purposes he suggested to him that he should make a will at once. At the same tune | Herr Yogi sent for lawyer, pr. Ihel- mer.

 presence of three witnesses, amount
 according to Austrian law, to valid
 verbal testament.
