to many a law firm as The Migratory
Debtor We OF the bar know fully
what that means. Years ago you
owed John Andrews some five hum
dred dollars. You incurred his enmity
Since that time he has kept the orig
inal judgments alive. In his mean
malice he has hunted you from place
to place. II you get work, he put his
claim in legal hands and gets you out
of it. Twice he has sold out your few
poor household holdings. The duty
of our firm ends in handing you the
papers giving you possession of the
farm. but l can surmise that this
leech. this miser, Andrews, will soon
find you out
He surely will" groaned Naylor.
Il propose, therefore. that you make
out an agrecmapt in your name to
hold the farm subject to his claim, to
be paid of in small monthly install
ments. l will take it to him and in

She presented a vivid contrast in her

down beside the young lady he heard
the tittering., sneering words:

The girl heard it, too. flushed

least four hours. with no station
within ten miles.
The petty natures of the fashionable
crowd were soon manifested in loud
complaints and abuse of the trainmen.
The demure, dignified girl in the dim

was. Somehow a conversation began

parted, but with queer longing at
his heart Ernest Brill realized that it
would be many a day before he would
forget Little Miss Dimity."
He recalled with a vivid memory
the sweet, sympathetic face Of the I'm
pressible young girl when she listened
to the story of old Mr.. Naylor which
had drifted into their casual conver-
sation. 1t was ten o'clock the next
morning when Ernest reached the An
drews home.
"Mr Andrews-Mr. John Andrews"
he spoke to the servant who answered
his summons at the door.
why. sir, have you not heard?"
asked the servant with strange
stare" Mr. Andrews died last week"
You startle me- exclaimed Ernest,
quite shocked at the unexpected intel

charge of his estate?"
Yes, sir Mr.. Mallory, his lawyer,

This way, SIR" spoke the servant a
moment later, and Ernest was usher

looking gentleman and-Little Miss
Dimity!"
He stood somewhat dumbfounded.
He recalled his conversation with the
welcoming young lady before him with
some misgivings. Then he regained
his self-composure.

Miss Ada Nelson accepted the paper.

ANNIVERSARY OF LAKE MYSTERY

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 20.-Tomor-
row will be the eighteenth anniversary
of the loss of the steamer Chicora, a
mystery of the Great Lakes that time
has failed to solve. On the night OF
Jan. 20, 1895, the steamer cleared from
Milwaukee with cargo of flour. The
craft was bound for st. Joseph, across
Lake Michigan, but she never reached
port, nor was any trace of her ever
found. She floundered with all hands,
but in what manner is not definitely
known. The sunken steamer has new
err been located. 1t is the supposition,
however, that she lies somewhere off
the south end of the lake, possibly
some five miles distant from shore.
When the loss became known the own
ers of the Chicora offered $4,000 to
any person placing buoy over the
sunken steamer, but the reward has
never been claimed.
