Of Wilful Murder" And so on and
SO On he retraced his way through the
whole Of that dark tragedy-wasting
what he felt to be precious time. but
unable to tear his attention away
from these records OF the past.
At last he rammed the paper back
into its pigeon hole and turned his
attention again to the drawer be-
meath. When II at last yielded to
his efforts, he was rewarded by the
sight of a fatty folded packet OF
parchment. tied with tape-thc iden-
tical last will and testament which he
had heard spoken of so often by the
cook. But this, though of interest in
one way. was not that of which he
was in search, and he began to feel
a qualm Of fear lest, after all, his
quest should prove useless.
His eye, roaming restlessly about,
was caught by the CLEAN of brass in a
dark corner. The candle, which was
sufficient to light him at his task, still
left the greater part OF the in
semi-darkness, and there was some
thing over there, in that corner. which
he had not taken into account.
Il was an old fashioned piece of fur
niture-the only shabby and evidently
second hand article in the room. 1t
was an upright article and was divid'
ed into 70 portions, the lower cor
tanning drawers and the upper being
shut in with doors, which were fitted
with a brass lock and fastening.
It was old and much scratched, and
had apparently seen considerable use:
but must have been a good article
originally. He took the candle in his
hand and, crossing the room, inspect
ed it closely. There is a look about
it'-holding the candle up higher
"as though it might have a history
attached to il. 1t looks"-with a sud
den impulse-"as though IL might be
trusted to keep a secret He put the
candle upon the mantelpiece close b.
and again resumed his b%urglariOus
operations. Il shall soon be able tl
pass muster as an experienced house
breaker, at this rate" he remarked Il
himself, with grim irony, as the loci
turned traitor. and the door, swingin,
open revealed a number Of drawers
within, each garnished with a loci
and brass handle. Which should h,
attack first? Much time had alread,

Why II Wasn't LEGAL.

In the New York Law School at a
recent lecture on the making of Wills
the case of a woman in one of Rider

woman had a mans will inscribed in

held regular and legal because it had
been made in writing.

Mr.. Williams says that the hypo.
chondriac was II day telling a friend
of his efforts Il regain his old-time
health. He ran over the list of doc

upon the friend remarked:

man. Don't you think the doctors

of a widely different character.
These were a large and bulky en-.

the discovery seemed to paralyae his
hand. SO that for an instant he was
lfnnable to stretch forth and take pos.
session of what he believed would
make him master Of a mans fate.
At last he put out his hand, which
trembled as he did so. and took up the
revolver. II was a s~ix.chamber rcvol-
yer. and a glance showed that one
ony of the chambers had been dis
charged.
A fierce. hungry look came over his
face as he roticed this. and. laying the
weapon down. he searched for some.

him-the conical shaped bullet which
