it WAS the Stran-cSt will he had
ever helped to draw up He fcl,
he owed an apology to the rela.
tives Of the deceased for its peculiar
plraseology. But they must please UNI
dcrstand that he was not to blame
He had begged the testator to allow
the terms to appear In 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. \ proud. hard man
was Tom. wealthy as wealth goes in
rural Ireland. but as grasping OF the
penny rs 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.

Pretty Kitty. however. had already
made her own choice. which by a Ger

than Frank Murtagh, the very poorest

Of John Rooney When his parents
died John had taken him in and reared
the two men had failed to hit it Off
together in later years Frank was II
merry. light hearted blade. and it was
a matter of popular conjecture that his
easy going ways had aicnated what
ever affection old Rooney may have
entertained for him originally. and in
the scale Of expectations he was put
down at Il very low altitude
But all suspense on this important
matter would soon be at an end. for
the lawyer having cleared his throat
now com.ncrccd to read the will:
II. John Rooney. sound of mind. do
herewith make this my last will and
testament TO that sOrra-may-car2
rascal. Frank Murtagh. I bequeath the
house and land about 1t on condition
that he does not sell it for less than
1000 for the far field ana $500 for the
house and near field. and. as this ~
about six times its value. he Is not
likely to get anybody fool enough to
buy it Of him. And I 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 n
slight flush at the testatOr's personal
reference. The lawyer gave n discreet
cough ard went on:
"He treated me like dog when
was poor and fawned on me when he
thought had grown rich. And there's
my old bamboo stick that | used for
many years. I leave to Frank Murtagh
to belt c'my apologies. but belt is the
extraordinary word the testator
insisted on using" mournfully protest

NO CHATTEI> MORTGAGE LAW
IN LOUISIANA.

The Mer Rouge Democrat: Louisiana
has no chattel mortgage law to enable
small farmers to get advances on stock,
but the Legislature, Act No. Io2, SO
amended the crop lien law enacted in
1874 that a crop lien, properly taken and
recorded. prevents the lessor of lands or
share hands from disposing of any crop
that is pledged, without the consent of
the Pledge. Section of the said act
reads: "That whoever shall violate the
provisions of this act shall, upon convic-
ton. be fined not more than one thous-
and dollars, or imprisoned in the parish
Jail for not more than six months, or
both at the discretion of the court.

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 a 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 hu-
NOR at once evaporated. He shook
his head severely.
Don't let that idea into your head.

for her. IT'S one of them big graziers
Kitty will be getting. No, no: thry

avoid offending Frank, he added in a
softer tone: Eye see, Kitty's only a
young girl yet. She won't be on for
marrying these years. An, sure, haven't

Then come to me an wen talk about
Kitty"
The day he entered into possession
Of the field was great day for Tom.
When all were abed that night he took
a 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 excayating with feverish ca
