THE MISSING WILL
BY FRANK FILSON.

Mary, said Tom Halloran, "Mr.
Ames is going to foreclose the mort
gage on that five acre field"

her four and forty years, looked up

children are putting on weight and

mortgage was nuisance. Now with
out 1t we can have more money to
put into the dairy. But it wasn't
exactly neighborly of Mr.. Ames, see
Ing how long he's known you"
The acquaintance dated back
twenty-five years and more, to the
time when Mary Newell was the
adopted daughter Of old Simon Newell,
John Ames' half-brother, but nearly
forty years his senior Simon Newell
was the squire Of the town, and II
was understood that all his posses.
slons were to go to Mary He wanted
TO see her married to John Ames,
who, at the age of twenty, was al
ready gifted with that shrewd. cal
culating nature miscalled hardheaded-
ness in country places.
Johns wooing had been conducted
with consummate skill Mary was
completely deceived by his protesta.

asked her to marry him she thought
herself the happiest girl alive One
month before the date set for the
wedding the old squire had a stroke.
lie lay for week unconscious, but,
before he died, he opened his eyes
and seemed to recognize those about
him. He looked at Mary He tried
to speak, but could not A moment
later he closed his eyes and passed
out Of life.
When the will was sought 1t could
not be found Reluctantly. Mary's
friends came to the conclusion that,
like many men, Newell had postponed
making his will until it was too late.
And so the property passed by in
heritance into the hands OF John
Ames.
Ames was very considerate. He
gave Mary the oldfashioned furniture,
The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-08-19

he let her take her time about moving
after breaking of the engagement.
For that was what he did, within a
month after Newell's death Why
should he marry a penniless girl when
the rich Miss Sarah Smith looked with
favor upon him, and would comfort
ably swell the Ames fortunes?
Five years later Mary married Tom
Halloran, a man little below her sta
ton in life. They were very happy.
After some years the first Of their
three children was born.
Ames and Mary never spoke, ex-
cept when it was unavoidable Con-
scious that he had acted wretchedly,
Ames schemed to drive Halloran out
OF the village. Honest Tom Halloran
knew that he and Mary had been
engaged, but not the cold-blooded way
In which Ames had Tilted the woman
who was now his wife.
Mary had sent back the furniture
all except the old cabinet which Mr
Newell had had made for her Take
care of that, my dear, he had said.
IT'S made of tropical wood, and some
day 1t will be worth its weight in gold
to you.
When Tom had gone into the kitch-
en- to smoke his pipe Mary sat darn
ing busily, and her thoughts wandered
back over all those years that had
passed. How happy she and Tom
had been, And how thankful she
was that she had discovered Ames'
nature before she married him! She
did not care about the field, but
Ames persecution Of Tom had
aroused her fighting spirit If she
could repay Ames In kind.
Suddenly she perceived a tiny edge
of white against the fat top OF the
cabinet. 1t looked like paper pairing
She rose to brush 1t aside, and TO her
amazement discovered that it was part
of a sheet, apparently wedged into
the wood in some strange fashion.
A moments examination showed
her that there was a secret drawer
IN the cabinet. And the paper-as
she pulled 1t through the oriice In
the wood she could see that there was
writing on it. She fumbled about un-
I'll she found the spring of the drawer,
which she pulled open. Inside lay

document-the last will OF S.lua
Newell.
Mary Halloran stared at it in terror.
This message from the dead she did
not want to read those letters that
danced before her eyes. She was
still standing with the will in her
hand when Tom came in.
What is it, dear?" he asked, see,
ing her distress.
Mary Halloran put the paper be,

Newell meant to leave all his prop
erty to me, and how John Ames got

have found it 1t was In the secret
drawer in that cabinet"
Tom stared at her, and slowly un-
derstanding came into his mind
Then it's all ours" he exclaimed.
The five acre field and-all OF it,"
No, Tom" said Mary.
Eth, my DEAR" said Tom, slowly
Il don't want to claim it. | don't
want Mr.. Ames to know. Tom, he
paid price for the property. the
price of honor and sef-respect.
Many a night he must have lain
awake, meditating over his bargain.
The property is the only recompense
he had And | want him to keep it.,
Tom"
You don't-want the property,
Mary"
No, Tom, That is why am going
to throw the will into the fire un-
read"
But, Mary It's yours ours.
Think Of the boys. We must be just
to them. The scoundrel has had it
all these years. My dear, you must"
Il won't, Tom, won't" she cried
You don't understand" She flung
the paper into the open fire; 1t
scorched against the Goals and flut-
tered, unburned, beneath the crate
But Mary had run out Of the room,
her eyes blinded with tears Of shame
She was thinking that she had been
more than recompensed In Tom
But for the Wills loss she would
never have known the treachery In
John Ames' heart.
Tom Halloran stopped down and
picked the will out of the CRATE and
began to read The verbiage was
difficult, but there was one sentence
that stood out unmistakably;
ITO my half-brother, John Ames
all that possess, both real and per.
sonal estate In the conviction that
he will make a good husband for my
adopted daughter. Mary
Slowly Tom watched the paper burn
in the fire. And, though the full
meaning OF Mary's wish did not come
home to him, something told him that
he must never let her know Ames
was still the richtful owner Of the
Newell estate.

SUNSHINE IN THE STOMACH
Happiness Lies In Eating Above
Ground Products, It Is Said by
Those OF Certain School.

Some people say that to be happy
one should eat only sun kissed foods.
BY sun kissed, they mean all fruits
and vegetables that grow above ground.
The more these things are dependent
upon the rays of the sun for perfection
the better effect they Will have upon
the individual who consumes them,
the Detroit Free Press states.
Every man and woman In daily life
is sure to need the brightness of the
sun In the stomach as well as the
heart and home, declare the advocates
Of the sun kissed fare, and there Is no
better way of getting 1t than through
nourishing food
In the@un.klssed diet there Is very
little meat, though poultry is used
frequently and eggs are favored
poultry because 1t Is at its best when
the fowls have been reared in the sun

are considered moro or less dcpress.

Potatoes are carefully stunned, de-
spite their great food value. They are
grown in the dark earth and never see

100 Years Ago Today

One hunred years ago today the cities
along the Atlantic seaboard were in
state Of great agitation IN consequence
Of the British invasion OF Maryland and
the prospect that other states soon
would suffer from the depredations OF
the enemy. At Norfolk. Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York the most
indefatigable eXertions were made 10
place those cities in the best possible
state Of defence. In New York in par
ticular, a noble zeal TO prepare for re-
pelltng any hostile attempt upon the
city appeared TO animate all classes Of
its citizens A new fertilization upon
an extensive scale was erected upon
Brooklyn Heights. The work was done
by the volunteer labor OF the citizens
judges, physicians. bankers and mer-
chants all contributing their services.
