Oinuha, March IB. The price of $2-10,000 has been agreed upon as tho condition of not contesting the will of tho lute John A. Creighton.

This sum of money will come out of tho charitable institutions that are beneficiaries under tho will, nnd It Is paid because of a conclusion to pny It and nvoid a contest, rather than drag the matter through long litigation. The 11 vo nttorneys who undertook fho contest of the will did so on a contingent basis, nnd are to rocoivo 25 ior cent of tho amount recovered. Under tho terms of this preliminary ettIcmont they will receive $00,000, which will net them an average of $12,000 each for less thau a week's work. An Honcot Quakor. A sheriff was once asked to execute a writ against a (junker. On arriving at his house he saw the Quaker's wife, , who in reply to tho inquiry whether her husband was at home said ho was, at tho same time requesting htm to be Ecnted, and her husband would speedi ly see him. Tho otllcor waited pa tiently for some time, when, tho fair Quakeress coming Into the room, ho reminded her of her promise that he might see her husband. "Nay, friend, I promised that ho would sco thee. Ho has seen thee. Ho did not like thy looks. Therefore be avoided thee and bath departed from the house by an other path." Money In Words.

The Masquerader (Conthiutil from J'ngo I lute.) "When Hcnwlck had gone and closed tho door behind him Loder paced tho room with feverish activity. Iu one moment tho nspect of life had been changed. I'lvo minutes since ho had been glorying In tho rlslc of a barely saved situation; now that situation with Its merely social complications bad become u mutter of small Impor tance. Ills long, striding steps had carried him to tho fireplace, and his back wuh toward the door when at last tho handle turned. Ho wheeled round to receive Kvo's message, then a look of pleased surprise crossed his face. I It was Eve herself who stood In the doorway. without hesitation his lips parted "Eve," ho said abruptly, "I have had t , u , ll(l8 Hhow llL.r teeth at last. Two caravans belong lug to n llrltlsh trader were yesterday Interfered with by a band of Cossacks. The affair oceuned a couple of miles outside Meshed.

As ho llnlshed ho took n step forward. "But that's not all!" he added. "Fraido wants the groat move set In motion by a great speech, and he has asked mo to make It." For a moment Eve waited. She look ed at him iu silence, and In that silence be read In her eyes tho reilectiou of his owu expression. "And youV" she asked In a suppress ed voice. "What answer did you give?" Ho watched her for an instant, tak ing a strange plensuro in her flushed face and brilliantly eager eyes; then the Joy of conscious strength, tho sense of opportunity regained, swept all oth- or considerations out of sight. "I accepted." ho said quickly. "Could any man who was merely human have done otherwise':" That was Loder's attitude and action on the night of bis jeopardy and bis success, and tho following day found his mood unchanged. Ho was one of those rare individuals who never give a promise overnight and regret It In the morning. ITe was slow to move, but when bo did tho movement brushed all obstacles aside. In tho first days of bis usurpation he had gone cautiously, lialf I fascinated, half distrustful. Then tho reality, tho extraordinary tangibility of the position had gripped him when, 1 matching himself for tho first tlmo with men of bis own caliber, he bad learned bis real weight on tho day of his pro tost against tho Easter adjournment. With that knowledge had been born tho dominant factor In his whole scheme tho overwhelming, Insistent desire to manifest his power; that deslro that Is tho salvation or the ruin of every strong man who has onco realized bis strength. Supremacy was tho note to which his ambition reached. To tram ple out Chllcoto's footmarks with his own hand had been his tacit Instinct from tho first. Now It roso paramount It was tho whole theory of creation the survival of the fittest tho deep, egotistical certainty that ho was the better man. And It was with this conviction tbnt he entered on the vital parlod of his dual career. The Imminent crisis and his own share In It absorbed him ab - solutely. In tho weeks that followed his answer to Kralde's proposal ho gavo himself ungrudgingly to his work. IIo wrote, read and planned with tireless energy. IIo frequently forgot to eat and slept only through sheer exhaus tion. In tho fullest boiiso of tho word he lived for tho culminating hour that was to bring him failure or success. IIo seldom left Orosvonor squaro In thi) days that followed, except to confer ( M Wb J J5 :3V , . - r&MKM&rn mmmm I vr Jwjsssa' 'ffiwi H l fclll 'V -SBSHBH mmm j ,?!! j KtUAlif IIP with his party. All his Interest, all his relaxation even, lay In his work and what pertained to It. Ills strength wns llko n SDlid wall, his intelligence wns sharp nnd keen ns steel. Tho moment was Ills, and by sheer mastery of will ho put other considerations out of sight. Ho forgot Chllcoto and forgot Lillian, not because they escaped his memory, but becauso ho chose to shut them from It. Of Evo ho saw but little in this time of high pressure. When a man touches tho core of bis capacities, puts bis best Into tho work that in his eyes stands paramount, there Is little place for and no need of woman. She conies before and after. She Inspires, compensates or completes; but the achievement, tho creatloil, is man's nlone. And nil true women understand and yield to this unspoken precept. Evo watched tho progress of his la bor, and In tho depth of her own lienrt tho watching enmo nearer to actual living than any activity she bad known. She wns on onlooker but an onlooker who stood, as it were, on the steps of I the arena, who, by a single forward movement, could feci the sand under her feet, the breath of tho battle on her face, and In this knowledge she rested satisfied. There were hours when Loder seem ed scarcely conscious of her existence, but on those occasions she smiled in her serene way and went on wnlllng. She knew that each day before the aft ernoon had passed he would come Into his sitting room, ids face thoughtful, bis bands full of books or papers, and, ' dropping into one of the comfortable, ; studious chairs, would ask laconically ! for tea. This was her moment of tri umph and recompense for the very I unconsciousness of his coming doublet ! Its value. He would sit for half an hour with preoccupied glance or with i keen, alert eyes Used on tho lire, while i his ideas sorted themselves and fell ' Into line. Sometimes he was sl'ent for tho whole half htur. suiucllmcx he com , meutetl to hIinM.ll' i he .-scanned 1:1; notes, but on oth' r and rarer (, -a-aious he talked, speaking his th. nights mid his theories aloud, with the en joyment of a nrin who knows l,l:uM!f fully In ills depth, while Eve sipped her tea or stitched peacefully at a .strip of embroidery. On these occasions she made u per fect listener. Here and there she en couraged him with an intelligent re mark, but she never Interrupted. She knew when to be silent and when to speak, when to merge her own Individ uality and when to make It felt. In these dnys of stress and preparation he came to her unconsciously for rest; ho treated her as ho might have treated a younger brother relying on her discre tion, turning to her as by right for sympathy, comprehension nnd friend ship. Sometimes as they sat silent iu the richly colored, homelike room Eve would pause over her embroidery and let her thoughts spin momentarily for wardspin toward tho point where, the brunt of his ordeal passed, he must of necessity seek something beyond mere rest. Hut there her thoughts would Inevitably break off and the blood llame quickly into her cheek. Meanwhile Loder worked persistent ly. With each day tlut brought the crisis of Fraldo's scheme nearer his ac tivity Increased and with It an Inten sifying of the nervous strain. For If ho had his hours of exaltation he also had his hours of black apprehension. It is all very well to exorcise a ghost by sheer strength of will, but one lias also to eliminate the Idea that gave It j existence, juiiiih Asimpw, wiui iiev U.MJlluiiL'i:. ionium jvnu iii, wui uvi unattested evidence and her ephemeral Interest, Rave him no real uneasiness, but.

And so tho last mornlmj of his pro bation dawned, and for tho first time ho breathed freely. to nn CONTINUED. It Made a Difference. "Good gracious!" exclaimed the vis itor. "Hoar those boys fighting and yelling out there. Regular llttlo hood lums, aren't they?" "I enn't say," replied Mrs. Faniley. "I'm rather nearsighted, you know." "But surely you can hear them." "Oh, yes; but I can't tell whether they're my children or tho neighbors'." Exchange.
