THE TWO WILLS.

tor of her father' princely fortune.
Her guardian conscientiously fulfilled
hi duty in the projier investment of
her money, but Is-ft her intellect Hiid
character to be formed by the servillu
crowd of money-worshijiers who sur-'
rounded her. Consequently she grew ; w
ud selfish and hauirhtf. impatient of
contradiction, claiming and receiving
homage and admiration as her right.
She possessed great beauty of both
face and figure, and was well educated
and accomplished.
Josephine resided with her guardian.
He was a widower, and his family coi -aisled
only of himself, Josephine and
his daughter-in-law, Sirs. Monroe.
Mrs. Monroe was a race, patijnt little
woman, scarcely more than a child in
years or strenirht of character, yet old
in sorrow and trouble. She had mar
ried George Monroe against the wights
of her parents, who saw and compre
hended his utter worthlessness, and
very soon she rued Iter Lasty s ep, for
be proved wild and dissipated and
careless of her comfort or pleasure.
Unlovely as was Josephine in many
respects, the rich treasure of affection
of many a manly heart was lavished
upon her; but her heart remained un
touched until she met Xorman Rem
ington. He was her equal in Li tti
and station, and greatly her superior
in moral worth and true digni y of
character. She soon loved him with
all the ardor of her passionate nature,
and gladly plighted to him her troth.
Xorman lavished upon her the earnest
devotion of a strong, loving nature.
He thought he saw beneath her appar
ent heartlessness some true womanly
sensibilities which he fondly dreamed
it would be his care to awaken and
develop.
Soon after their engagement Nor
man had expressed his disapproval of
Mr. Gasper Fenton, one of the most
persistent of -her followers. He was of
good family and of rattier prepusses
ing appearance, but be had a dissi
pated, unsettled look. Josephine, with
her womanly instinct, had mistrusted
him from the first, and had only per
mitted him to join the train of her ad
mirers that she might have the pleas
ure of scorning him when be should
presume to propose.
There was to be a large charity ball,
got up by the elite of the place.
Xorman asked Josephine to go, ex
tending at the same time his invitation
to Mrs. Monroe. Much to Josephine's
chargin aha accepted the invitation,
and when alone she petulantly asked:
"Why did you ask that low-bred widow
to accompany us? You might at least
have consulted my pleasure first."
"My dearjosephine, east aside all
such unwomanly thoughts and feel
ings. I pity her loneliness, and it sure
ly will not harm us to give her one
evening of pleasure."
Josephine shrugged her shoulders,
but remained silent. She did not care
for an open rupture wither lover,
but she mentally determined to punish
him by luring again to her side Gasper
Fenton, whom he despised and hated,
as did every honest man.
The ball had already begun when
they eute red, and Mrs. Monroe being
claimed by an old acquaintance for the
waltz just forming Xorman and Jose
phine were soon floating about in its
dizsy mazes. After the dance he left
her to speak to some friends.
Gasper Fenton, who had been yjfci
lng his chance, nowstepped forward
and paid his rsspgcts to the haughty
b"; She was all smiles. And em
boldenfe(j by his suave reception, lie
begged the favor of her hand for the
fetjust forming. She graciously ac-
ipted, darting a look of triumph at
Norman, who was just leading Mrs.
Monroe to form one side of tlie same
quadrille.
After the dance was concluded Xor
man led Mrs. Monroe to a seat and
hastily excused himself. Turning to
leak Josephine, Jw saw her j at step
ping through the open window to the
balcony. The silvery moonlight strug
gled faintly through the parted cur
tains, and glistened softly on her satin
robe as she swept from his view. lie
Hesitated a moment and then strode
iftor them. Walking up to them, he
sffered Josephine' his arm, without
noticing Fenton.
"The night air i too chilly," he said,
"after the heat of the dance. You had
better return."
Meeting his rebuking glance with de
Banee, she said, jocosely: "Excuse me,
Mr. FH)ton, I suppose I have to obey.''
Fenton bowed, saying, lie member
the next waits is mine."
Xorman hurried ber in without giv
ing her time to reply, lie said noth
ing: but watt a determintd, almost
fierce lost upon his face he led her to
the conservatory and, placing her in a
eat where they were hidden from view
he eaidJLhruptly, "Xow, Josephine, ex

- "BeaHy, Xormaii, your tone of com

"Jssephlne, don't trifle with me.

"Josephine, once more 1 will suppress
my indignatiou and beg of you to shun
that man. He is, under the outward
semblance of a gentleman a b-ilJ, bad
man; an adept in ail manner oi evil, a
gambler and a scoffer at women. You,

She arose with a gesture of impa
tience. "Vou are really quite dramatic If
Gasper Fenton is so dreadfully wicked
why, your favorite Mrs Monroe, with
her over- abundant supply of goodness
restores the balance."
Fortran turned very white, but re
mained speechless. He followed her
back to the crowded rooms. As they
entered Fenton met them saying,

"Really, Miss May hew, I began lo

She took his arm, her overweening
pride exultant at (bus defying her
lover.
Xorman did not come near her again
during the evening; but when she de
scended the stairs, shawled and
wrapped for home, he stood ready to
conduct her to the carriage. The drive
home was a silent one. Mrs. Monroe,
still excited by her unusual dissipation,
chirruped merrily about the pleasun-s
she had received; but the grim silence
of companions quickly quenching ber
flickering garety and she sank back in
the carriage oppressed she knew not
why.
Arriving home, Xorman conducted
the ladies to the house, and with a cold
good-night, retired.
Tutting on his dignity," said Jose
phine to herself as she went up to her
room.
Xext morning, after a restless night
a note was presented to her which, on
opening, made ber Hush with anger and

"I find that I was coronletelv mis.

"XoilMAN HKMISGTON." .
A variety of emotions struggled in
ber heart; she had loved Xorman Rem
ington passionately. Pampered and
spoiled as she always had been, she had
never once thought that her re ;tllio is
follov would lead to this. Pride and
resentment were dominant traits in
ber character, and she exclaimed, "He

One month after the eventful ball
Josephine married Gasper Fenton. It
was a brilliant affair, and the your.;;
couple started oil on their wedding
tour with all the pomp of circumstances
which wealth affords.
Two years of unmitigated misery
passed away. Josepiue's revengeful
act had recoiled upon herself. Her
husband had proved to be more despic
able than Kensington had assumed
Restraint no longer necessary, he at
tempted no concealment of bis evil
companiqngj;p "or his immoral "prac
tipet Xigbtly be either held an orgie
at home with companions as brutal as
himself or went abroad to some den of
no doubtful character. He had long
since ceased to treat his wife with any
semblance of respect. He taunted her
with coa.se allusions to her love for
Remington, which he knew she still
cherished, and never ceased to worry
her for sums of money.
One cold, wretched day in winter, as
she sat by the window, gazing wearily
out at the wildly drifting snow, her
husband entered, and taking a seat be
side her he said, "Vou do not look
well, Josephine." f
"Indeed 1 am quite well," she re
plied; for she would never acknowledge
to 14m her ircreaaing weariness. She
well knew that he would rejoice rather
than weep over her death.
"Xo, you are not well, and have not
been for some time. You should see a
physician."
"Yes, and make my will, I suppose?"
site added maliciously.
A look of hatred flashed from his
eyes, but he answered quiet'y, 1 did
not mean that, but it is certainly every
one's duty, who hat much property, to
make a will."
"You are wonderfully anxious for
my death," she said bitterly. "How
ever," she continued, with the sem
blance of resignation, "perhaps It
would be as welL If you will bring
an attorney here this afternoon I will
ease your mind, if not my own."
His eye sparkled with this unex
pected compliance, and be said, unhes
itatingly, "and dare I will you ."
"Oh," she said, quickly, "to whom
should I leave my property if not to
you? I have uo near relatives or
friends."
With a countenance radiant with ill
suppressed joy he took her baud and
your forgiveness for my hershness
toward you. You see," be continued,
"1 was madly jealous of that Renting

memory, and it made me act unbecom
ingly. Hut after such an unmistaka
Lie evidence of your love I can doubt
no longer. I shall return presently
with a lawyer." And be hastily left
the room.
Josephine cast a FcornfuL malignant
glance at the retreating figure of her
husband.
"Fool! does be think to blind nie
with his maudlin sentiment? I will
outwit him yet"
Fenton, fearing to let her resolution
coot, soon returned with a lawyer, and
a will was quickly drawn up and at
tested and signed. This will Jos
plane gave to ber husband with every
appearance of satisfaction, and Fenton,
locking it securely in his private sec
retary, muttered exultantly: "I never
hoped to secure it so easily. It shall
now be my care to see that she makes
no other."
Ilut Josephine was a match for his
cunning. The very next morning she
had another will drawn up, leaving
everything to some distance relative
whom she had never seen.
Her healUi gradually failed, and
wlien the cold, raw winds of March
swept dolefully around her dwelling
she was confined to her room, and soon
she was too weak to rise from her bed.
She knew that before the balmy, lire
giving air of summer would come she
would be lying in her grave, but the
thought of ber second secret will was
the source of an exultant joy even on
the borders of the tomb.
Fenton, too, knew that s'ie was dy
ing.
"I will search," I bought he; "she is
sly and crafty, and perhaps she has
eluded my vigilance and made a latei
will than the one I hold."
So he searched the house over, but
found nothing.
If she has any, it is secreted about
her bed," he thought; and he watched
her with cunning cautious eyes. He
soon detected her nervous habit of
feeling about her pillow, and once
thought he saw the corner of a paper
"The sly jade!" he fiercely muttered
"She has one beneath her pillow; but
by heaven, I'll have it and destroy it!"
atching his opportunity, he enter
ed the room where she had been left
alone. He had been drinking to drown
his anzcr mid disappointment and
when Josephine saw his fiend-like
face, she shrieked with fear.
Hush your noise! You thought to
fool me, but 1 11 have that will that
you've secreted about you, if 1 have to

He made a rush toward the bed and
snatched the pillow from beneat her
head. Filled with fierce strength born
of excitement, his wife clutched him
about the neck with her attenuated
hands, thus impending bis movements.
He attempted to shake her off, but the
clung to him w.th a deadly grip. Her
sunken eyes glared frightfully; the
round, red spots on her cheeks deep
ened, showing more vividly the ghast
ly pallor of her face, and her shrill cry
for help rang through the house.
The servants rushed to the room, an J

Ihe Ciim7 HuiIinii,
In contemplating the present inag
nilude of the creamery business it is
iard to realize how short has been the
time thin has been required to bring it
to its present proportions. In a copy
of the New York Tribune of January
1, 18S0, we find the following trace of
its beginning in Iowa:
Messrs. Mosirt & Co. have established
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a butter busi
ness on a novel basis. They supply
farmers with p ins holding seven gal
lons each, in which to set niilK, and
every day or two send their own teams
out on a collecting tour of ten miles
circuit and skim and bring in the
cream for churning; some of it how
ever, is shipped from further points by
rail, and nearly one thousand live
hundred cows contribute. The dairy
men are said to be so well pleased with
the plan that they will double their
stock next season and, of its advaut
eage the Fort Dodge Gazette says.
We examined some of the butter and
found it excellent. Well, now, here is
a man buying cream from all sorts of
people people some of whom are so
unskillful and careless about making

From this "butter business on a

sprung up a butter business that in
1890 exported 73,5C77 pounds of but

of as much more. The same copy of
