Jamison is a big sandy haired man,
who Is known as Bunker by his friends,
An Of them we're glad yesterday when they
heard of his luck out in Pittsburg. The
happiest Of all, however, was Mrs. Jamison,
Never before we're the window panes any
brighter in the little fat, and never were
the carpets brushed any cleaner. She half
admitted that all this was in expectation Of
the visit OF the lawyer from Pittsburg,
who. the dispatches from there said, was
coming on 20 find the heir to the property
left by David James, or Jamison, as he con-
fesssd he was in his will.
The Jamisons haven't heard anything
from Pittsburg yet about their fortune or
how much il amounts to.
sMy husband, said Mrs Jamison yes

I mother. 1t does seem as though he was
getting his reward. Every time we had
| little money saved IL would be all spent in
burying some Of his family. You see, there
/ was nobody else 10 do it, Not even when
she died did his mother mention his father.
or where he might be. Once, long ago,
asked her something about him, but she
never answered me. She taught the chill
dren never to ask any questions, and in
forty years ones apt 70 forget person
that's as near dead as that. She was a
good woman, though, and when her hus-
band left her she turned 10 and worked
hard so that her boys could have a trade.
/ guess Wen be giving up here soon and
moving out perhaps 70 Flatbush No,
don't like Nanderveer Park ! think I'll
keep a girl, and perhaps my husband and
] viii take little trip. He really needs it.
The Jamisons have no children, but

and Mr. Ray told him he would get a law

the neighborhood Is anxiously awaiting
the arrival Of the Pittsburg lawyer TO learn
