THE ROONEY
WILL

Association.

|" HE lawyer-a dry little man-said
II was the Strangest will he had
ever helped To draw up. He felt
he owed an apology to the rela-
hves of the deceased for its peculiar
phraseology. But they must please IN
derstand that he was not to blame.
He had begged the testator to allow
the terms to appear i'm the ordinary
legal forms. He had argued. got angry
even, but in vain. The stubborn old
gentleman insisted on wording the
will in his own way
The deceased mans nearest relative
was old Tom Gaynor, who, it was
said, fully expected to come in for the
bulk of the hoard. A proud. hard man
was Tom, wealthy as wealth goes in
rural Ireland, but as grasping of the
penny as if he had nothing. The pride
born of his wealth was shown in the
way he treated suitorS for the hand Of
his pretty daughter, Kitty. Decent.
well to do farmers came seeking her.
but old Tom would have none of them.
1t was said he was waiting till the
possession of Rooney's money brought
some of the big graZiers of the neigh
borhood 10 his door hat in hand. look
ing for Kitty
Pretty Kitty, however. had already
made her own choice, which by a GER
tain lovable perversity was none other
than Frank Murtagh, the very poorest
of her suitors, himself also relative
nf Vnhn pnnnnN-
died John had taken him in and reared
him as his own son. 1t was said that
the two men had failed to hit it off
together in later years. Frank was a
merry, light hearted blade. and it was
matter Of popular conjecture that his
easy going ways had alienated what
ever affection old Rooney may have
entertained for him originally, and in
the scale of expectations he was put
down at very low altitude.
But all suspense on this important
matter would soon be at an end, for
the lawyer, having cleared his throat,
now commenced to read the will
81, John Rooney, sound Of mind, do
herewith make this my last will and
testament. To that sOrra-may-care
rascal, Frank Murtagh, bequeath the
house and land about it on condition
that he does not sell it for less than
1900 for the far field and $500 for the
house and near field, and. as this is
about six times Its value, he is not
likely to get anybody fool enough to
buy it of him. And l give my old
clothes-not a thing more-to that mig
gard, Tom GaynOr'-
All eyes were turned on Tom, who,
strange to say, took his treatment
with perfect compOsure, except for a
slight flush at the testator's personal
reference. The lawyer gave a discreet
cough and went on:
Gle treated me like a dog when
was poor and fawned on me when he
thought l had grown rich. And there's
my old bamboo stick. that | used for
many years, / leave to Frank Murtagh

taching the treasure. The only re
source left. then, was to wheedle
Frank into selling the valuable piece
of land
The realization of this project was
made easy by the appearance that
evening of Frank Murtagh, bent on
asking Tom to give him Kitty. When
they were wrapped in the secrecy of
the parlOr Tom craftily introduced his
scheme. He was aware of Franks
circumstances, he went on to say, and
how small was the amount Of ready
money old John Rooney had left him
to carry on the work of the farm
Knowing this, he felt certain he would
not be able to sleep O. nights if
Franks position was not made easier
He had thought the matter over and
evolved very good idea. 1t was to
buy the far field of Frank-yes, even
at the prohibitive price old Rooney
had put upon it,
Frank, sorely in need of money. met
the offer with mingled wonder and de-
light.
When the matter was arranged
Frank took occasion to venture his
proposal for Kitty Toms good hui
NOR at once evaporated. He shook
his head severely.
Don't let that idea into your head
my boy" said he "Ye're no match
for her 'Tis one Of them big grazlers
Kitty will be getting. No, no; thry
somewhere else" Then, anxious to
avoid offending Frank, he added in Il
softer tone: Eye see, Kitty's only a
young girl yet She won't be on for
marrying these years. An, sure, haven't
you time enough yourself too? MuSha.
what hurry's on We TO get yerself
spanchelled? Mebbe in a year or two
ven be betther off than We are now.
Then come to me an Wen talk about
Kitty"
The day he entered into possession
of the field was a great day for Tom
When all were abed that night he took
spade from the stable and cautiously
made his way to the hillock where he
had seen old John Rooney burying the
iron pot. Feeling round the brow of
the hill, he found the loose scraws Of
earth and knew that the treasure
could not be more than two feet away
from him. Selling his spade he com
menced eXcavating with feverish ca
gerness. In very short time-two
minutes perhaps-the spade struck

handle of the pot and, seizing it. drag
ged the vessel out Of the hole The
mouth of the pot was merely covered
with rough sacking. but with admira-
bic self restraint Tom determined TO
refrain from making acquaintance
with the contents TIL he had reached
the friendly haven of his own kitchen.
With a cool deliberation. remarkable
when the occasion is considered, Tom
lit lamp when he had placed the pot
on the floor. Then he bent down and
with just a slight trembling Of the fin
gers proceeded to unite the rope that
bound the sacking. The knot was pres

the sacking. and Toms eyes glared
vacantly at-stones.

tered hoarsely.

Liquor Drinkers and Life insurance.
Life insurance companies are adopt

largest companies now declares that
no saloonkeeper or brewer is rich
enough to get a policy with them.
while even those who drink with mod

What is true of this company is CON

require an agreement that if death
results from drink their policy be-

be remembered that Sir Thomas Whit
