BROWN DENIES CHILDREN.
Cuts OFF, in His viii, Offspring Of
Mrs. Bradley.

VII o. q dAlSys .
Salt Lake City-Had the late Sena-
tor, Arthur Brown ~foreseen his death. at
the hands Of Mrs. Anna Bradley, he
could not have devised no more ingen-
ious retaliation than the post morten
revenge contained in his will. The
document, which was written August
"a. 1906, four months beore Mr.. Brown
was shot down at the Raleigh hotel in
Washington, has been filed for pro
bate,
81 do not devise, or give or bequeath
anything to any of the children of Mrs.
Anna Bradley" is the language of the
will. Il do not think either or any
child born to Mrs. Anna M. Bradley
Is or are mine, but whether such child
or children is or not | expressly pro-
vide that neither nor any of them shall
receive anything of my estate.
81 have never married Anna M
Bradley and never intend to. If she
should pretend that any such relation
ever existed between us to Justify
such inference, | direct my executors
to contest n claims of any kind she
may present and l direct hat she re-
ceiye nothing from my estate"
The testator b%equeaths all his prop
erty, valued at about SIS, 900, to his
two children by his first and second
wives, Alice Brown and Max Brown.
Contest Is Probable.
The children so specifically disin
herited are Arthur, aged Z, and Mark
aged 3 years. The attorney engaged
by Mrs. Bradley's relatives in Sail
Lake decline to discuss the win "a
this time, but there is scarcely a ques
ton that a contest will be instituted
as much for the purpose o establishing
their paternity as to ecu a none
tary consideration. This is the more
likely as Mrs. Bradley is, or was I
few months ago, in possession of let
ters signed with Browns name il
which the relationship to one or boil
of the children is acknowledged. II
one of these letters, written after tn,
birth of the first child, appears the fol
lowing quotation:
"Your blood and mine commingled
|, yet shall mount the throne of kings.

A Patented Plant,

weather plant John Nowack took out
the patent The weather plant is still
believed by many persons to foretell
the weather. John Nowack was sure it
did so, and he put 1t on the market
along with an indicating apparatus,
guaranteeing 1t to foretell for forty
eight hours In advance and for fifty
miles around fog, rain, snow, hail,
earthquake and depressions likely to
cause explosions Of fire damp. Alas
for poor Nowack! The experts Of the
bureau Of agriculture took up his pat
ented plant. They proved that the
movements of the leaves-to the right
foretelling rain, to the left foretel!lng
drought-were not caused by the
weather, but by the light. And they
proved that the plants famous down
ward movement, which was supposed
to foretell earthquake, was caused by
an insect that punctured the stem, caus
ing the leaf, naturally, to droop. That
Is the only patented plant l know of

CHAPTER XVIII.

Charles Baumgarten sat in his cham
bers enjoying an animated discussion with
his friend, Jephson, the great chancery
lawyer. About a week had gone by since
Charles had come home from the circuit
and held that momentous interview with
Mary Dynevor which had been broken in
upon by the subdean. Mary had now
gone, with some friends, to Brighton for
change of air, and Charles was, so to
say, a bachelor at large again. The
change from despair to hope had so elated
him that he had somewhat rashly likened
it to Elysium. But now certain ugly
looking bill for eighty-one pounds, bear
ing Charles acceptance, had been pre-
scented to him for payment.
Charles declined to pay It, on the
ground that he had not accepted it. He
rcpudiated the bill altogether. 1t was
held by that eminent legal firm, Godfrey
& Herbert Jephson; the latter of whom
had now come to Pump Court in person,
bringing the bill with him.
Il never saw it in my life until to-
day." protested Charles Baumgarten.
You have been imposed upon"
Mr.. Jephson laughed. In days gone
by they had been very intimate at the
university together, and had there formed
close friendship; though Herbert Jeph-
son was the elder by some years. STUFF

deny your own signature? Look at It."
Charles had looked enough at 1t. but
looked again.

signed C. Baumgarten.' l always sign
Charles in full. Look over my notes tc
you, Jephson, should you have kept any

other way"
IF you never did It before, that's nc
reason why you might not have done Il
on this OCCASION" was the unanswerablt
| response.
How do you say 1t came into your
hands, Jephson?" he asked.
I'VE received it from White, the en-
graver and jeweler," was the reply. Some
property White is entitled to got thrown

for him. The expenses are draining him
