OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TERMS OF THE WILL
BY GEORGE MUNSoN.

The news of Uncle Wills death was
! q great shock to me. / read IL in the
morning papers. He was among the
killed in the accident on the Pacific
SouthCentral railway. The train had
left the tracks while travelling along
the bank of the JUDY river in Colo
rado, and five Ars had plunged be
meath the swirling torrent There
was no possibility of rescuing any
one; the death of all the occupants
had been immediate.
Uncle Will must have had a pre-
sentiment of his death, because, an
hour before leaving his office on the
way west, where he had to attend u
conference on some one OF those ma
tional movements in which he was
always interested He had dictated
new will to his stenographer, Miss
Clarke. Miss Clarke had typewriter
it and two of the clerks had witnessed
his signature.
The relatives were summoned to
meet at the house of Mr. Brewster.
the family lawyer. Brewster smiled
when he saw me and Marjorie enter.
Il wish you luck, my dear felix .,
he whispered, before the formalities
began.
/ had always been n prime favorite
of Uncle VIII. He had left me a good
round sum, / was sure. If he had died
the year before l should not have
been so sure. because he was deeply
mortified when Anne Claridge and
broke our engagement. 1t was Anne
who wanted to be free, but of course
Uncle VIII, in his pig-headed way,
had thought | was to blame. He had
always been fond OF Anne. Even
after Anne married Jim Thornton, a
month later-which ought to have
shown Uncle Will where the blame
lay-he was suspicious of me-
"a man who breaks an engagement
to girl wants lot Of Justification"
ne said TO me-
/ couldn't persuade him that / had
wanted to marry Anne. / believe he
cut me out of his will about then
However, after | had discovered that
Marjorie was the only girl could
ever love, and had introduced her to
Uncle VIII, / got back into his good
graces. He was still a little dubious

other nephews and nieces. That
meant that instead of his own paltry
thousand dollars tones would re-
ceive nine thousand seven hundred
and five. No wonder. Jones was sym
pathetic.
THE old wretch!" said Marjorie
to me as we talked the situation over
that night. What are you going to
do about it, Oliver?"
why. I'm going to marry you,
of course. Marjorie" 1 answered.
And leave me?" questioned Mar
jorie quickly.
Not on Uncle Wills life" 1 an
swered. Marry, dear, let's get mar
ried anyway, and We'll let the will
stand, for our part, and turn the ta-
bles on jones'
1t was hard to sacrifice the nine
thousand odd that would have cone
to us, but we felt that after the way
the old wretch had behaved we didn't
want to touch n penny of his oney.
Let's get married next W. ek,"
said
"All right" said Marjorie.
How would Monday su you?" 1
continued
"All-an right, Olive DEAR" she
answered.
And Monday it as. You know,
girl, forty .ousand dollars looks

yield, wanted to get our honeymoon
started. so that the legacy could be
irretrievably lost. And when we came
out OF the church together. man and
wife, with Mr.. Brewster and Miss
Clarke smiling at us and wishing US
luck. l felt that l didn't care a snap
for Uncle Wills legacy
And Uncle Will met US at the
church door, and he was more agi-
tated than had ever seen him in his
life.
It's all a mistake. Oliver" he
shouted. II wasn't in those cars. l
had gone back to the observation car.
1t was another man they thought was
l. IL"
couldn't help congratulating him,
but my face was as sour as Mr.. Brew
ster's, even If l had just got mar
ried.
What's the matter, Oliver?" he
cred. You're not. sorry your old
uncle's alive and cheated you out Of
your legacy for a year or two. are
you?"
Uncle WILL" I answered, did you
suppose 1 would touch a penny of
your rotten money? Not even If
could have got 1t by breaking the
will"
1T was inhuman!" cried Marjorie.
1T was not professional" said Mr..
Brewster severely. ITO make it con-
ditional that he should leave his bride
for a year"
Leave hertz shouted Uncle VIII.
What do you mean? / said love
her Didn't you take it down in your
notes as love- Miss Clarke?"
Miss Clarke clapped her hands to
her head and went down in dead
faint upon the sidewalk.

PERFUMED AIR IN A HOTEL
About the Limit Even in This Ago
That ls Unrivaled In Its
Luxury.

The ultra" OF scientific hotel ac-
Eodations has reached Los An
geles. Soon guests of the Hotel Alex
andria will not breathe the ordinary
air which circulates the highways and
byways.
No, indeed, monsieur and madame
must be made comfortable; therefore,
the dining salons and foyers of this
hotel will be equipped " ith perfumed
air.
And to make this innovation in the
hotel business even more complete
the ordors which reach the nostrils
of Alexandria guests will vary with
the seasons
For instance, according to Manager
S. j. Whitmore, spring will announce
itself to the city dweller who never
visits the byways by a delicate aroma
of violet; little later the scent will
change. and the delicate "parfum" Of
the orange blossom will be de riguer.
With autumn will come the Indian
summery fragrance of pine needless
the virgin forest. With winter, be-
cause this is southern California,
roses.
Exhaust fans which pump in cool
air through a rainstorm of scented
waters will make this possible All
grill and the banquet hall invisible
supply fans will constantly keep a
new current OF perfumed air in circu-
lation among the diners and loungers.
Should monsieur wish to give a lit
tie dinner in private dining-room
and have fancy for tho scent OF Law
ender then 1t will be supplied to him
throughout the meal
1T is our object" said Mr. Whit
more, ito give our guests the most
attractive environment After care
full consideration we find that the per-
fumed air for our dining-rooms will
be pleasing touch for all those who
wish to enjoy It, The only danger,
OF course. would be in OVERRIDING the
thing. None would want to take
meal In a salon saturated with tn.
odor OF orange blossoms, for exam
pie. Our tinctures are to be delicate
however. The perfumes will give a
natural aroma; no more."-Los An

These nervous. trembly. smothering

How that amused Marjorie and my
