:Scrymgeour. Sometimes at night When
he had read the daily paper, he would
play upon the flute to amuse hisafather,
for whose qualities he entertained a
great respect. - LINN ~,
One day he received note from
well known firm of writer's to the
s1gnet requesting the favor of an i'm
mediate interview with him. The let
ter was marked "Private and Conf
d&tttial," and had been addressed to
him at the bank instead Of at home,
two unusual circumstances which
made him obey the summons with the
more alacrity. The senior member of
the firm, man of much austerity of
manner, made him gravely welcome,
requested him to take seat and pro-
ceeded to explain the matter in hand in
the picked expressions of veteran
man of business. A person, who must
remain nameless, but of whom the
lawyer had every reason to think well

who must also remain anonymous.
There were conditions annexed to this
liberality, but he was of opinion that
his new client would find nothing ei-

terms. and he repeated these two
words with emphasis. as though he de-
sired to commit himself to nothing
more.
Francis asked their nature

And SO saying the dictator arose
from the bench and marched off in the
direction Of Montmarte, shaking his
head and swinging his cane with a
most furious air. while his companion
remained where he was in an attitude
of great detection.
Francis was at the pitch Of surpriseI
and horror. His sentiments had BEEN
shocked to the last degree. The hopeful
tenderness with which he had taken|
his place upon the bench was trans
formed into repulsion and despair. Old
Mr. Scrymgeour, he reflected was al
far more kindly and creditable parent
than this dangerous and violent in
triguer. But he retained his presence
of mind and suffered not a moment to

That gentleman's fury carried him
forward at brisk pace, and he was
so completely occupied in his angry
thoughts that he never so much as cast

own door.
His house stood high up in the Rue
LEIPZIG, commanding a view of all Paris
and enjoying the pure air of the

green blinds and shutters, and all the
windows looking on the street were

 Dr. Wheeler has been appointed ad- ministTatOr of the estate and this week he will 'ake such steps as may be deemed proper to ascertain the where abouts of the dead sea captains wealth. Captain Woodhouse was an octogenarian and for some months had been in feeble health. He had the at- tendance of a housekeeper and a male nurse and was also cared for by his only daughter, to whom he was devot- ed. Captain W0odhouse accumulated a snug fortune through his investments ill vessel stock, but several years ago he decided that vessel property was de- clin!ng !n value and he closed out all his marine interests and turned the money into other securities. He pur- chased q grea~ deal Of real estate and held sonic securities in the shape Of stocks and bonds A year ago Captaln w HOo~4iGASC, dEDfecidtli45 LhdL Aic "dS growing feeble, made a partial distrib- ution Q his estate. To his daughter, Mrs. Wheeler he gave deeds for the bulk O his real estate and also some stocks G,ld bonds. It is assumed that Ee made disposition of more of his property in a like manner to others of Lis kin. He reserved, however, a suf- ficient amount to assure proper care 10" the rest of his days. He had balance of about S20,000 in the Mechanics hank in this city, but last fall he went 10 the bank and drew out all the money that was deposited there. The whereabouts of this money is row furnishing ground for She search. Captain Woodhouse lived moderately though comfortably. He was not oxtrAvaGant and indulged in few iuXuries If life.
 Befor@ he dIed he made no will so far as is known now.
 Mrs. Wheeler in discussing the mat ter of the search, said last evening that Captain Woodhouses wealth was not more than $100.0O0 all told and as he had disposed of the bulk of his proper ty there was practically little more than that which he had on deposit in the Mechanics bank in this city.

That Haytian Captain.

Rebel and seml-pirate though he
was, the Haytian Admiral Killick
seems to have been somewhat of a
black hero, after all. The details OF
the destruction of the Crete a Pierrot
gives to Killick what little honor there
was in the affair. He deliberately gave
up his life for his cause, and that ID
the highest sacrifice any man can make
for any cause, good or bad.
When the German commander de.
manded the surrender of his vessel, II
appears that Killick put his crew off
the ship, drove 1t as nearly alongside
the German gunboat as he could and
then fired the magazine, hoping that
its destruction would overwhelm his
enemy also. The plan failed. The
German drew away far enough to es
cape injury and then turned its guns
on the burning hulk of the HaytiaI
vessel-a somewhat inglorious proceed
ing
But there is good deal to be said in
behalf of a captain who will blow uI
his ship and himself rather than buy
safety by surrendering her, no matter
how petty the flag he serves under
Buffalo Express.
