MR. CLAYTON’S WILL
JIIC CLAYTONS
Jind Issued lnvllu
flons to n party nt
their country house
|n Massachusetts.
The guests, thirty
|n number, were to
remain a week. My
tvlfe and I looked
forward to a grand
lime. We had been
there before and
knew vlhat a visit
to "Green Harbour" mrtint. It wns a
.superb old place on the southeastern
coast, Just far enough from the beach
to lend that soothing sound to the
breakers which Is so pleasant to hear
at night after retiring. The house was
of no special style of architecture.
Originally It wns a spacious farm house
made many alterations and annexa
of the old New Kngland pattern.
Ancestors of the present owner had
* tlons, and the present master had com
pletely renovated and, In a way, mod
ernized It. The old elms and oaks were
still vigorous and luxuriant, and they
boasted of a lineage that might turn a
colonial dame green with envy. They
added also not a little to the beauty of
the scenery.
Qlvlng a party of this kind and size
Is not an easy matter, as some have
learned to their Intense mortification.
Great care and skillful Judgment must
be exercised In the selection of the
guests, who, for seven days, are to be
bo closely associated. But the Claytons
were not novices; they knew the dis
positions and tastes of their friends,
and they gathered a thoroughly con
genial company.
One lovely June morning the spe
cial train -conveying the guests pulled
out of the Old Colony station at Boston.
A ride of thirty miles brought us to the
village, where carriages, stages, carts
and wagons were in waiting to trans
port us and our numerous boxes to the
house, five miles dlBtant.
It Is unnecessary to attempt a de
scription of the joyous, brief days that
followed. Yachting, bowling, billiards,
dancing, tableaux and, perhaps, a lit
tle flirtation occupied our entire time.
The weather was superb and every
thing and everybody was In perfect
harmony, when on the evening of the
fourth day Mr. Clayton, while passing
through the hall, fell dead upon the
floor. The same heart trouble that
had ended hlB father’s life twenty years
uviurv.
That the gayety and revelry was then
at Its height made this sad Incident
dSubly shocking. A silence, sombre as
-a pall, settled over all. Each guest
thought It his and her duty to leave as
soon as possible; they felt 111 at ease, de
trop.
Arrangements were at once made to
have the baggage and private servants
go by the early train In the morning;
the guestB were to follow an hour
later. My wife wanted to wake her
maid, who had been In bed for hours,
for the purpose of packing her trunks.
I thought this useless and said that I
would attend to the packing; all that
’ was required of the maid was that she
be In readiness to start In the morning.
I advised my wife, who seemed to be
nervous and agitated, to go to bed.
This she consented to do, telling me to
be sure to put everything In the trunks
except what we wished to wear travel
ing.
If anything requires greater Bklll
and patience than paoklng long-train
party dresses, to say nothing of other
. articles of feminine apparel, Into com
paratively well-filled trunks, I have
yet to learn of It. This was many years
ago and, perhaps, they made gowns
longer then—or trunks smaller. How
ever, I did the best I could and felt
'fj rather proud of my Job. I was up In
the morning to see our luggage car
ried down.
"Are you sure you put everything
In?" asked my wife from her comfort
able position of repose.
"Everything but the things you
ought to be getting In," I answered, in
elegantly, starting downstairs.
An hour later one of the house serv
ants brought me a card, on which was
:J( written, "Do come here at once. Some
thing dreadful has happened.” My
wife had written it. Filled with
, thoughts of another calamity, I hurried
f to her chamber. As I entered I saw she
was dressed, standing, looking over her
shoulder into the glass.
“You frightened me dreadfully,” I
said, half provoked to find everything
• ..peaceful. “'What has happened?’’
... • "Do I look all right?" she asked, twirl
ing around like the dummy figures we
see In the shops.
I told her she looked charming, and
again asked her to explain what had
occurred. She seated herself on the
bed and there was something In her
manner and expression that warned me
_ I was In for it.
"Did It ever occur to you,” she asked,
satirically, "that you had mistaken
your calling? Don’t you think you
might succeed better as an expert
packer than as a lawyer?” she con
tinued, leaving me for an Instant in
doubt respecting her sanity. But her
allusion to my late laborious task con
vinced ’me that somehow I had blun
dered.
uian 11 get everything In?" I asked,
feeling secure In my position.
"Unfortunately, you did,” she an
swered. "my tournure with the rest.”
"Your what?" I gasped, not compre
hending, and fearing that the catas
trophe. whatever It might be, had been
occasioned by my Ignorance or
stupidity.
“My tournure, my bustle! are you
capable of understanding that?" It
was in the days of bustles.
“Oh," I replied, "you told me to put
everything In, and that was something.”
"I should think so." she answered,
rising and straining for another rear
view of herself in the mirror. “It was
that lovely wire one that Bessy brought
me from Paris.”
“I remember the thing now," I said.
"I had trouble in getting it in. 'Twas
a-flkkd at crescent shaped machine made
of wire: I took It for a bird cage or a
mouse trap.”
She shuddered at the word mouse, but
controlling herself said: "It is all very
g:; funny now, but the next time you are
away from home and find that your
man has substituted your boating shirt
i for your dress-coat. It may not be quite
so amusing.” We had been married
but six months and trifles were magni
fied Into mountains.
Observing that she really felt hurt, I
told her that she looked all right and
assured her that the platform that she
had succeeded In erecting at the back
of her wdist was broad enough to sup
port a political party. This put her In
better (spirits and she became confiden
tial.
"Do you know,” she said, "I was
tempted to utilize the pillow cases?
They would have answered admirably.
Ilut I feared their absence might lead
suspicion to point to the servants. A
few newspapers would have done very
well, but there were none at hand. With
the aid of a chair I was able to find
an old dusty roll of paper on top of the
wardrobe. I did not untie It; I Just made
a little hole at each end, tied a shoe
string In each, bent It a little and tied
it on.”
“You certainly are the mother of in
vention, If of nothing else,” I answered,
kissing her as I spoke.
About ten days later I was sitting at
the breakfast table, In my iloston house,
reading the morning paper. "That’s
queer,” I said, glancing from the paper
to my wife, "Mr. Clayton’s will can’t
be found. I will rend what It says;
" ‘The will of Mr. Parkman Clayton,
the millionaire, whose funeral took
place on the 6th Inst., cannot be found.
His lawyer. Mr. Phillips Andrews, says
that he wrote the will at Mr. Clayton’s
dictation last December, and that after
signing it Mr. Clayton took possession
of the paper. A thorough search has
been made, but without success. Sus
picion points to Austin Clayton, a son
of the dead man, who, if not disinherit
ed. was some years previously denied
admission to his father’s house. It is
thought the young man may have
gained possession of the document
through the Instrumentality of the ser
vants. In the event of its not being
found Austin would be entitled to his
share of the estate. The matter is be
ing investigated.' ”
In this situation the matter rested,
when, several months later. I was dress
ing hurriedly to go to the opera. My
shirt was too stiff to button readily, my
studs were rebellious and all the an
noying things which Invariably over
take one when in a hurry fell to my lot.
I was provoked, and in my agitation ac
cidentally jerked out my collar button.
As usual, it sought refuge beneath the
bureau.
I ran into my wife’s room, she was
already dressed and waiting, expecting
to find one, or something that might
answer. But an array of hairpins, but
ton-hooks and manicure implements
alone greeted me. She must have some
thing that will do, I thought, as I hast
ily opened her bureau drawer.
Heavens, what a sight! Gloves, rib
bons, fans, smelling flasks, veils and
numerous other things were engaged in
bitter conflict, each endeavoring to out
do the other. In tumbling these about
in my search I came upon an odd look
ing affair, so unique in design and con
struction as to excite my curiosity. It
was a roll of parchment, or stiff paper,
"TOUR WHAT?” I GASPED.
With a shoestring; dangling from each
end.
“By George!” I exclaimed, mentally.
“Here is my wife’s patent bustle, the
substitute of Bessy’s Parisian crea
tion.”
As I held it In my hand I glanced In
the opened end and saw that there was
writing within. Hastily tearing It
apart, the missing will of Mr. Clay
ton's, togetiier with a deed for some
property in Vermont, lay before me.
I was so delighted with the Joke I
had on my wife that I gave no further
thought to the opera, nor to my ap
pearance. In Inartistic deshabille I
threw myself upon the bed and laughed
inordinately. In this position I was
found by my wife, who, not unnatural
ly, thought me partially demented.
“Are you going to the opera? or do
you find sufficient enjoyment in this
farce?” she asked, pretending to be
vexed.
"My darling,” I answered, "if, when
you were in possession of that im
mense fortune, or perhaps I should say,
when you were so near to It, you had
invested In a few collar buttons you
would not find It necessary now to com
plain of my tardiness.”
“Are you hopelessly crasy?” she
asked, stepping back as If In fear.
What do you mean about my fortune?”
“I mean,” I answered, seriously, tak
ing a different tack, "that you are sus
pected of having stolen Mr. Clayton’s
will. The missing document has been
found In your bureau drawer, and its
appearance Indicates that It was con
cealed about your person when you
left the house where you had been an
honored guest.”
Her cleverness came at once to her
assistance. "Do you mean," she asked,
coming closer and speaking low, “that
the roll of paper your carelessness
obliged me to use was Mr. Clayton's
will?”
“Yes; that Is about the situation,”
I answered, carelessly. “But you may
meet with some trouble In convincing
a Jury that my carelessness Justified
your felony. But I’ll get you oft,” I said,
seeing I was carrying my Joke too far.
“We will send it to the Clayton's anon
ymously. They will be so glad to get
it they will not inquire where It came
from.”
I did not do so, of course, but made
an explanation which left out the bustle
facMeat. However, far aiaay a day
“the fortune my wife was near to"
served me admirably. But in an evil
hour I, in writing the invitations to a
dinner we were giving, inadvertently
put "R. I. P.” in the lower left-hand
corner of each. For a while my wife
was master and the Clayton will was
never mentioned. Since that date I have
regarded Joking as an evidence of low
origin.

A FORCED RIDE.
A Confederate Soldier's Horse Dashes
Wildly Into the JKneniy.
John Gilpin's famous ride was beaten
by one which a confederate soldier was
forced to take during an engagement
between Quirk’s scouts and a regiment
of union cavalry. The two bodies of
soldiers were standing face to face and
the bullets were flying thick and fast
through the air. The fight was a des
perate one, and each side seemed to
stand Its ground.
Suddenly, as the fight was at its hot
test, a horse dashed out of the confed
erate line and started in a direct line
for the Yankee regiment. On the
horse’s back was a man named Kng
llsh, who was leaning back In his sad
dle and pulling with all his might In a
futile attempt to stop his frightened
horse.
The animal was yellow in color and
In running took long, clumsy jumps.
The rider finally saw that he could not
stop the frantic animal and he made
up his mind to make the best of his
situation.
He leaned forward In his saddle until
his head almost touched his horse's
neck, and his hands clasped the bridle
near the bit. Even the rider’s ears
seemed pinned back, so great was his
effort to make himself as small as pos
sible. His face was as pale as death.
The Yankees saw the horse with Its
rider making straight for them. Some
of the soldiers ceased firing and looked
excitedly at the half-maddened animal
flying toward them. He reached the
regiment, but did not stop. The fed
erate almost fell upon each other in
their efforts to get away from the
horse’s heels.
The animal went plunging through
the center of the line of soldiers, foam
ing at the mouth and with head down,
and then dashed on through the regi
ment, the soldiers making way for him
all down the line.
Not a shot was fired until he had
got out of range, and then nearly
half of the regiment, who had man
aged to recover themselves from their j
astonishment, fired at a cloud of dust
rising in the air, but the horse and rider
were at a safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle,
returning to the confederate company
in safety. When they saw their com
rade hack returned without a scratch
from his tfangerous ride, they almost
forgot the fight that was before them,
and there went up a great cheer.
WELDING METALLIC BODIES.
Royal Society of Belgium Hue Promul
gated Some New Facta.
The Royal Society of Belgium has
published some additional facts In re
gard to the welding of metallic bodies
by means of simple pressure at temper
atures far below their fusing point. In
these researches the plan pursued was
to put the metals In the shape of cylin
der bounded by plain surfaces, great
oare being also taken as to their purity,
and, having been mounted and welded
together by means of a hand-screw,
they were placed In a heating oven and
kept at a constant temperature between
200 and 400 degrees for from three to
twelve hours. The result, as detailed,
shows the most perfect Joints were pro
duced with gold, lead and tin, while the
worst were with bismuth and antimony;
two cylinders thus welded together
could be put In a lathe, one of them only
being held In the chuck, while the other
was being worked upon by a cutting tool
without coming apart. They could be
separated with the aid of pincers, but
then a rough breakage was produced
which did not coincide with the original
plane of separation. It appeared, too,
that the more crystalline the bodies, the
less is this phenomenon of Incipient liq
uefaction exhibited, the commencement
of Its appearance In the case of plat
inum, for Instance, being at 1,600 degrees
below Its fusing point—that such a liq
uefaction or softening actually took
place being abundantly proved by ex
periment.
A PECULIAR PALL.
Flanges Headfirst Into a Porthole Seven
Feet Deep.
Mrs. Sarah Lewis, of Sioux City, la.,
is the victim of a peculiar accident,
from the effects of which she is not
likely ever fully to reoover. During
the past few days the Home Telephone
Company has been digging holes all
over the city for poles to be used In con
nection with Its telephone system. Mrs.
Lewis knew that several had been dug
in the vicinity of her house, but had
taken no particular notice of their lo
cation, and when she stepped to call
her children, who had been playing In
front of the house, she did not think It
necessary to look out for them. The
children did not prove to be as near as
she had expected, and pushing through
the tall grass along the sidewalk in
Bearch of them she suddenly stumbled
over some obstruction and plunged
head first down one of the holes. The
hole was 7 feet deep, 26 inches in diam
eter at the top and 22 at the bottom, so
that Mrs. Lewis, whose arms were pin
ioned at her sides, was unable to re
lieve the weight resting on her head.
She remained in this position for near
ly half an hour, when a passer-by hap
pened to hear her groans and pulled her
out. She was then unable to stand and
soon lapsed Into unconsciousnes, In
which condition she has remained near
ly ever since. Her nervous system Is
greatly shattered by the accident, and
it is feared her brain or spine may also
have been injured by the fall.
Once More Tanner.
Dr. Tanner. M. P. for Cork, has dis
tinguished himself In more ways than
one. Some days ago he sat down in the
hair-dressing saloon In the House of
Commons at a quarter past 4 to have
his hair cut. The barber had barely be
gun when the division bell rang, and the
snwNf ter UM Cork had U rush up
stair*. The operation was resumed after
a delay of twenty minutes, and the bar
ber had half finished the task when the
bell rang for another division. Off dart
ed the doctor once more; and when he
returned the halr-dreaslng was resumed
da capo, but only to be again Interrupt
ed. When the third division bell rang
there was another occupant of the hair
dresser’s saloon In Mr. R. G. Webster,
who had just been lathered previous to
shaving. Dr. Tanner proposed they
should pair and they did so. And by this
expedient the doctor was able to gee his
hair cutting finished by 7 o’clock, which
he thinks Is a record In Its wsy.
A Pioneer’! Recommendation.
Mr .J. W. Venable, of Downey, a
pioneer of Los Angeles County, Cal.,

pain in the stomach or with diarrhoea I
use Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. I have used it for
years, know it to be a reliable remedy,
and recommend it to every one.” For
sale by P. C. Corrigan, Druggist.
“We bad an epedemic of dysentery
in this vicinity last summer," says Sam
uel S. Pollock, of Briceland Cal. “1
was taken with it and suffered severely
until some one called my attention to
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarr
hoea Remedy. 1 procured a bottle and
felt better after the first dose. Before
one-half of the bottle had been used I
was well. I recommended it to my
friends and their expennce was the same.
We all unite in saying it is the best.”
For sale by P. C. Corrigan, Druggist.
Among the numerous persons who
have been cured of rheumatism by
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, mention
should be made of Mrs. Emily Thorne,
of Toledo, Wash., who says: "I have
never been able to procure any medicine
that would relieve me of rheumatism
like Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I have
also used it for lame back with great
success. It is the best liniment I have
ever used, and I take pleasure in recom
mending it to my friends.” For sale by
P. C. Corrigan, Druggist.

TABLE TRICKS.
The Old Lady Waa Not Op to modern
Costoma.
Such a dear old rustic lady sat next
to me at a dinner the other night, says
Louisville Post. It was quite a "swell”
affair, in a fine restaurant, and when
the coffee stage was reached she de
clined it and asked for a cup of tea,
which had to be brewed expressly for
her. I saw her fidgeting around, so I
asked her: "Can I reach you any
thing?” “I can’t find my napkin ring,”,
she whispered. "There are none,” was
my next remark. “Ain’t none? Mercy
me! Why not?”
“It’s not the custom,” I answered.
“Well, it seems kind of slouchy,” she
said. “We always have ’em at home.”
"A napkin ring Implies that the napkin
is to be used again,” I explained, “and
that would not be considered good
form.” Her tea had come, and the poor
old soul felt grumpy, I suppose, so this
is what I got in sections: “Good form!
Mercy me! I never saw such a lot of
fads as people are getting. Must not
eut fish with your knife and-can’t have
bufter unless you ask for it, and having
ice cream In the middle of your din
ner.” She had received a punch be
tween the sweetbreads and the duck.
“And no tea unless you disturb the
whole table and four or five kinds of
liquor”—she meant wine—“and women
drinking it and men smoking right here
before us, and you mustn’t take your
fowl in your fingers. Well, I do wonder
how I ever lived all these years not
knowing any of these tricks!” Her tea
reached her then and I heard no more
from her.
MILLION OR B1LLIONAIRESS.
Information from London About Sonora
Conslno’s Coming Visit.
We must participate, with permission
of the Yankees, in their delight at the
fact that a lady worth forty million
pounds a year will shortly visit New
York: she may, naturally, while steam
ers are temptingly running ’twlxt Amer
ica and England in six days, find it se
ductive to take a look at London, where
she would indeed be a somebody and
find all the shops kept open day and
night on purpose to oblige her. The
lady in question is a Chilian of the
name of Senora de Couslno. She is for
tunately a woman of mature years—the
chances of her eloping are, therefore,
lessened, while the chances of the old
boys are Increased. She ranks as the
richest woman in the world, and who is
her male equal? She is a woman of ex
cellent culture and business capacity—
these diminish the chances of the for
tune hunters: she must be won for his
worth. The Senora’s tastes are simple
but accurate. She is great on the sub
ject of mines and ranches, and does not
delight in grand dinners. This is all
that is known as yet of the manifold
millionaire, and naturally as such most
adorable of women.—London Court

Fruit That Explodes.
There is a queer rrult in Batavia,
Japan, which has the quality of explod
ing when under water. It is a dried
pod-like growth of the justicia plant,
and its explosive feature is nature’s pro
vision for sowing its seed. There are
many plants that have the same quality
but this one is peculiar, in that contact
with water hastens the explosion. The
fruit is shaped like a cigar, and is a
little less than an inch in length. It is
full of seeds, and when the explosion
takes place, the water moistens a
gummy substance on the outside of the
seeds, which makes them stick where
they fall. This is another provision of
nature, by which the plant is enabled to
oropagate its kind.
Mixed In Their Tenses.
The difficulties of • the English lan
guage are well illustrated in a story re
cently told of three French boys who
were doing Shakespeare into English
from their French versions. When
they came to the line from "Hamlet,”
“To be or not to be,” the three trans
lations came oat ax follows: ‘'To was or
mi to ean.” "To ware or is to not,”
"To should or not to will.”
