THE POPE'S WILL.

Document Drawn Up when His Holiness
Was 81 Years Old.

to the most needy poor Of Carpinoto
my native town l bequeath to my
Uncle Anthony, as a token of my re,

he has outlived every man of his time
every associate OF his youth, every
Cardinal that belonged to the Sacred

further remark. Almost instantly. and
just after the boys passed the door Of
the shop the report of a revolver was
heard and Katherman fell dead at the
feet OF his companion, falling on his
face and with his hands In his pockets,
as he had had them when he passed
the place. Green turned in time to
see that the shot came from a re-
