The will written on DIR. Stevens's pre-
scription pad was given to Owen. He
went to his room and examined it. 1t
read:
"Bodley Stevens. NJ D.
"Rx. | bequeath half my estate
to my son, Harry, the remainder to
my adopted daughter, Pauline, to be
held in trust until her marriage by
my secretary, Raymond Owen.
Then followed the signature of the de-
ceased and that Of the two witnesses. In
vain Owen looked for the handsome be-
quest to "the faithful secretary" This
was bitter disappointment, and he con-
sidered for moment the advisability Of
destroying the will. This would make
valid one of the earlier wills in which he
knew he had not been forgotten.
The folly of such course became evi
dent after a few moments thought. Dr.
Stevens, the butler and several others
knew the contents Of the document. 1t
was so simple that its meaning could
hardly be confused or forgotten, and
every one knew it was in his keeping. 1t
occurred to Owen that quite likely such
a hasty death bed will written by doctor
unskilled in law might not be accepted
by the courts.

Hicks's newsboy voice growled out.
Hicks, said Owen, keeping his hand
in his pocket, "you came here to get your
money out of the legacy old man Marvin
was to leave me. Well, you won't get it
and you never will get it. Marvin didn't
leave me a cent, so there is nothing for
you to get. He did leave me job in his
will, job that will last for year, and
neither you nor any one else can force me
out Of that job. You can't blackmail me
any more"
AT the end of the year what becomes
of you?' asked Hicks.
Then get position somewhere else;
but that is none of your business"
You don't want position, Owen. A
position calls for work You don't like
hard work any more than do. You cant
stand work much longer, either. Look
at your eyes and your skin How many
grains do you take day, anyway"

hesitated at the door. A question was
forming in his mind and with it a hope,

the late Stanford Marvin's lawyers had

telephone the lawyer and excite his curl

he escaped the usual hours wait which
lawyers habitually inhict ON such of their
clients as they dare.
The senior member of the firm read the
document through. He frowned at it and
shook his head, for this sort of document
is always distasteful to legal lights. Here
was the will of one of America s wealth

was so clear that even a court couldn't

left to his natural benefciaries. The
lawyer heaved a sigh and said plaintively:

Owen had been under the thumb of this

for the day when he might sneer in his
face and defy him. This was the time
and yet he felt Hicks had something to
offer. He was in temporary charge of
millions. There should be, there must be,

Selling at Half Price.
1t often happens that we have faith
enough in the medicines put up by
other people to be willing to offer to
refund the money If it does not cure,
said Druggist McNair to one of his
many customers, but / am glad to
sell DR.. Howard's remedy for consti-
patton and dyspepsia on that plan.
The Dr.. Howard Company, in order
to get quick Introductory sale, au-
thori2ed us to sell the regular 50-cent
bottle Of their remedy for half price,
90 cents, and although we have sold
a lot of it, and guaranteed every
package, not one has been brought
back as unsatisfactory.
We are still selling the specific at
half price, although we cannot tell
how long we shall be able to do so.
Any person who is subject to consti-
patton, sick headaches, dizziness, liver
trouble, indigestion or a general

remedy does not cure them they can
