AN UNSIGNED WILL "Amaryllis, here's the doctor." The humbie country practitioner stepped forward, and even in the ?lilli lamplight could be seen the flannel cuffs, hiatus of gray stock ing between old trousers arva clumsy boote, frayed linen twofold collar, silver watch chain and greasy, ready made tie that betrayed the small lo cal practice. "Amaryllis, wake up, wake upi Doctor's hero. God knows you've called enough for him." The woman on the bed, whose name seemed a jest, opened her heavy, vague eyes, coughed faintly ?ind groaned. "Is it Dr. Watson, Janet?" she asked. "Of course I There's none <-ther for miles," was the testy reply. Dr. Watson went through the or thodox farce of feeling pulse and taking. temperature, but saw at a .glance that she was at the last whirl in her dance of death. "Has she made her will?" he asked softly. However, Amaryllis caught tho words, and in a cracked scream of excitement said: "That's it! That's it, doctor I I .want to make a will, I can't die .easy. Janet, get him pen and ink/ "It's nonsense, doctor," said Ja net. "Let her die in peace. She need make no will ; she's no kith nor kin but me, her sister." 'Tut the pillow under my head, both pillows," called the patient. "I'm choking I Yes, that's it. Now, .doctor, for God's mere}', do what I nek-Janet, will let me-or I can't ?die easy." Janet's face grew black with an ger. - "Shei s not fit to make a will, and I'm all she has in the world," said ?ho. "Listen, listen, doctor! I'm in my mind ; I can't die easy. It's short .enough-?3,000 and the cottage to .Janet, the rest to Charles Harford, now on the training ship, the Mon arch." The doctor took out a stylographic pen and picked up from the fender an old letter, on only one side of which there was writing. "Stop, stop!" said Janet. "She's road. There s no such person. Ask her who he ie." "God forgive me!" groaned Am aryllis. "I'll die hnppier if some ene knows. I've been a wicked .w oman." Tho doctor sprinkled 6ome eau do cologne on her head from a curious old silver bottle that stood on a .chair by the bedside and gave her something to drink out of a medi cine bottle. Then with desperate .energy the old woman told her stor}T, .despite the efforts of death to check her speech. ' 'Tather and mother were cruel, good people, and I was a blithe .young woman that hated church and psalms and dull Sunday books, so when he came, Frank Harford, tho handsome sailor, he had my 'heart for the asking. They would none of his addresses, for he wasn't a God fearing man, they said, so off we went with.no blessing from par eon, but a curso from father. It. lasted for ten years well enough. I had a little house, not in cold Nor folk, but here in this village, and he gassed sk my brother when on land, for he waa most while at sea. How ever, the time came. I was older than he by s ornery cara and fretted for his absence-yes, and drank a bit--so he grew tired, but didn't break with me, was afraid to, I think--God knows why. Then her face caught him-Mary's, the coast Sardsrnan's daughter. He kept it >n me, but the village gossiped. He meant to marry her and cast mo off. How I hated her, poor thing 1 I knew him well enough, handsome devil ! He'd have married her be cause he thought no other way would do, and I vowed ho should not marry her nor any but me, and me he wouldn't. I asked her to the house, and he courted her before my face and thought me a blind fool. "One night, his birthday,-'.I had her to supper and got down from London some champagne. She was to stay {he night-home was so far off and the weather rough. The little fool-the little, ignorant fool -believed that tho cnamnagne>,nev er before ?ecn in our village, was only ?ne cider and drank her share, and he was boisterous at the jest. Then I went oni on a pretext, say- j ing I'd be back' in an hour. The next day. she ran away., with him. Confound her! I never saw him again. At this point Amaryllis seemed to break down, but after dozing for a few minutes she continued in a faint voice: "Ho left ; her Boon enough and went to sea, leaving her and the baby to shift as they might. Me he dropped after that night. We'd a fearful quarrel, for he guessed that Pd schemed it all. Five years* later' he wrote, ?aid he had 'found God' find married a rich woman and want ed to, make amends. He'd ; always kept mo well enough, for his father left; him ?3,000 and this cottage; Itt?d settled it on me. He sent ma ?600 for her and her ch?d^J?iii; begged me to look after them. I did aura; enough, for I still hated her. Il found she was in London^so I sont her juet enough to keep her going, ter come to say lie was dead. 1 kept nearly all of tho money, and when, two years ago, she died, I sent no more, but I had the child watched, and ho's 'Charles Harford' on the Monarch. And, doctor, since I've been ill and seen the parson I feel I can't die without doing right, so make the will, ior love of God I" The doctor began to write. "Stop!" said Janet, who during the talo had walked up and down like a wild beast. "It's all madness; she's delirious." The dying woman heard her words. "In thc? ber nuder the bed you'll find sil Frank's fetten. They'll provo the story." In s few minutes Dr. Watson had fmi?hf.d the short will and read it to Amaryllis. Janet sat grimly on the black horsehair sofa and did not offer to raise her sister to sign. "Come, Miss Webster," he said impatiently; "one mustn't lose lime." She did not move. "What about witnesses?" she asked. v "I'll be one," he answered. "You" "Not me," sho replied hastily; "that would make my legacy br.d - I know that. Father was u law yer." The doctor knew this was true and was at once vexed and per plexed. "To ease her"- he 6aid. 'at's no use," she broke in; "I'll not. Will she last three parts of an hour? I can get to Mr. Trelois, our nearest neighbor, in the time and bring him." . Dr. Watson looked at his patient. "Yes, perhaps an hour, but be quick !" Janet put on an old black hat that looked like a bonnet flattened for country wear and a rough shawl of sham Shetland fleece, opened the door, letting in more of the cold air than was necessary, and went out, slamming it heavily. The doctor sat down by the bed side, then, recollected he was hun gry, and as Amaryllis did not an swer his request he rummaged in an unlocked cupboard and found some bread and cheese, which he ate rav enously, moistening it with some brandy that he found in a bottle by tho bedside, despite his strict orders against alcohol in any form. He made up the fire and sat in front of it, longing to smoke, till its genial warmth crept gently through him and sleep overcame the poor man, who had walked five and twenty miles that day on his ill paid rounds. The noise of the opening of the door awoke him, and, conscience stricken, ho hastened to the bed. Amaryllis was still.alive, but on the very lim its of the borderland. There was still time. He turned to Janet. "There's just life," he said. "Bring him in quickly." "He's not with lue," she replied stolidly. "He was out." Dr. Watson looked at his watch. "It's two hours since you started ; what"- \ Janet gave a dreary smile, m "They expected him every minute. I waited. He was 'too drunk when he came in." A bright idea came into the doc tor's mind. "Sign as witness," he said. "Ii the legacy is bad, it does not matter. You'll get it just the same as next of kin." "Do you think I didn't "know that?" replied Janet, with a hoarse laugh. ''Then you've never been to Mr. Trelois?" shouted the doctor. "You" "I'm not such-i? fool," she an swered grimly. "But, oh, it was cold in the garden I" As she spoke she came close to the fire, which glowed impartially on her rugged, dingy face. "Ill go myself," said the doctor. "It may not, be ioo late." He started up, and his chair fell. Amaryllis opened* her empty eyes; then a look, of intelligence esme into ' her ashen face. The doctor had nearly reached the door when in a tone half whisper, half shriek, she called out: v e "Doctor, don't leave me before it's madel" He turned fid saw her sitting up, but as he moved toward her she fell back. . "Too late," said the doctor, feel ,ing for the beating of the heart "too late. You" "I'm an honest woman," answer ed Janet, "and I've no sympathy with other people's by blows." Exchange.

"You proposed to me/' she said shortly. "Goodness 1 That was last sum mer I" he exclaimed. "Very true/' oho replied. "It waa last summer at the seashore." "In idle flirtation," he returned, trying to hedge. "Of course/' she answered, "hut you wrote to me about it once." "And you still have the letter?" ' "I have, and if I were still the old fashioned women that I was then I would be following you around asking you to keep your promise, or else I would simply look upon it as an idle flirtation and let it go at that, but as a new woman -as a new woman" "Well ?" he said anxiously. "As a new woman I look at the matter ?imply from a business view point and wonder how much it's worth." "Well?" He waa too startled to say more. "As an old fashioned woman I should try to force you to marry mo by suing you for $60,000 for breach of promise, but as a new woman I know that such a course would be j preposterous. I will put the dam ages at some figure that is within reason, so that we can effect a settle ment without going into court." "And if I refuse to settle?" he Kaid. "Then I shall sue for breach of promise." He was silent for a minute, as if studying the situation. Then he smiled and said : "I see that you are a business woman of the ultra modern school, and you have figured this out very closely, but you nave overlooked one {)oint. An old poker player general y can tell when a bluff is being worked upon him by one who isuw to the business. You're trying a bluff now, and I'll call it. If you go into court I'll marry you." "You-you'll marry me!" j ?iIf you sue for breach of promise I'll do it in order to have the case thrown out of court." "I don't believe you'd do it," she said as 6he backed toward the door, "but your bluff is good just the same. Neither of us wants tjie oth er, and you know it, out you're just mean enough to do something like that rather than let a woman get ahead of you."-New York Press. What Was Wrong. A workman on coming home in the evening was asked by his wife to look at the clock. She complained that it had been silent all day and she could not tell the reason. Her husband took it down and examin ed it carefully. Then he took off the hands and face and looked at the works with the aid #f a magni fying glass. Next he blew into it with the bellows, oiled the wheels and then put it back on the wall. But still it would not strike. Tired and puzzled, he went off to bed. The next morning at breakfast his wife said to him, "George, I think I can tell you what is amiss with our j clock." "Well, what is it?" he ask ! ed sharply. "It wants winding up 1" I -London Answers. A Larg? Order. There was once an early day miner who, after many years, made his pile and, corning down to San Fran cisco, looked about for the most splendid restaurant he could find. He wanted to make up to himself in one glorious night for all his priva tions and hardships of many years. When he found his restaurant and the waiter handed him the bill of fare, he found it was in a language that is not commonly spoken in mining camps and that he could not make out anything but the prices, which were extremely high. So ho turned to the waiter with, "Bring me $100 worth of hams and eggs " Th? Use of Vacations. Dotty Dimples-What ju s'pose vacations is for, anyway, Lily ? Lily Longlegs--Wy, don't you know?

WifeSy Act of Devotion by Which tho Alabama Was Saved. It is perhaps not generally kn . a that the Alabama, in spite of tho omission of the Englibh customs authorities to seize her, might in tho end have been detained but for an act of wifely devotion. On the 22d and 24th of July, 1862, evidence di rect inculpating the vessel was com municated by tho American legation in London to the British foreign of fice. On tho 23d and 26th of July the papers were referred to tho law officers of the crown and, as tho law officers had no permanent office, were sent, as usual, to tho senior of ficer, who waa then Sir John Dor- j ney Harding, queen's advocate, his associates being Sir William Ather ton, attorney general, and Sir Roun del! Palmer, afterward Lord Sel borne, solicitor general. Unfortunately Sir John Harding had just then fallen a victim to an acute mental disorder which proved to be fatal, but which Iiis wife, in the hope that it would soon, pass away, had kept a secret. Upon tho decision to bo rendered by the law officer3 there hung perchance tho issues of peace and war and tho fato of nations. But tho papers lay un examined at Sir John a residence apparently till the 28th of July, when tho foreign office, growing anxious at the delay, but ignorant of ita cause, took steps to recover them and placed them in tho hand? of Sir William Atherton. On the evening of the samo day Sir William, perceiving the gravity of the situation which tho papers disclosed, called Sir Roundell Pal mer into consultation unon them in the earl-marshal's room in the house of lords. They at once agreed that the vessel must be seized. An opin ion to that effect was delivered to Earl Russell on the morning of the 29th of July, but during the night of the 28th the Alabama left tho docks in which she had been lying. At 10 o'clock on the morning of tho 29th she put to sea. The order to detain her reached Liverpool in the afternoon.-John Bassett Mooro in Harper's Magazine. Tho Romancing Arab. The Arab is such a romancer him self that he looks with suspicion on every statement he cannot verify Eersonally. An incident, described y the British participant in it, il lustrates this Arno characteristic: A ?heik was discussing with tho commandant of a British vessel tho points of a Turkish gunboat which lay before them in one of the har bors. The Arab thought the gun boat more powerful than that of any British vessel he had seen. The con clusion he at once drew and frankly expressed was to the effect that Tur key was a greater naval power than Great Britain. He was shown a pic-, ture of the channel fleet, but that did not alter his impression. "These are only pictures," he said. "It is easy to make pictures." - If a man is only attentive to his wife in public she is willing to over look a lot of private negleot. - It's as diffioult for some men to see the point of a joke as it is for them to get over it after they tumble. - Generally a girl is pretty i ?i d of you if it makes her furious with 7QS tc hive anybody else find it out. - Young man, if you don't believe that .kissing is unhealthful, just let the girl's papa oatoh you at it. inou?

Shaw, with her daughters, Miss Krma aud Miss Kuid, vitited San Francisco last month, and macy BOcial functions were given there in honor of tho secretary of tho treasury's family, says the New Or lesns State. At a tea one afternoon, Mrs. Shaw, smiling toward her daughters, said: "When J?aid was four or five years old nhe used to repeat at night the little prayer, 'Now I lay me.' "I suppose that million - of children have said 'Nov? I lay me' millions of times, but 1 doubt if the simple and charming vords of the prayer ever suggested a> question so unusual as they did to H nid. "She one night repeated tho prayer reverently and then asked me, with & puzzled frown: " 'Mother, if I should die before 1 wake, how would 1 know I was dead ?' " Am Excellent Safe. Naturally, since the Toronto and Baltimore fires, salesman of fireproof safes have been working overtime. Duriog the week, two s^ie salesmen, representing different firms called simultaneously on a local business man. The first sr.iesman said: To demonsttat'j the quality of our safes, it is the custom to put a cat in one of them, to look it, build a great fire around it ?cd to leave it in the flames twentyfovr hours. At the end of that time we open the safe and the oat leaps out unharmed. .'Wonderful!" said the merohant, "Wonderful!" Tho second salesman spoke up: "We ono? put a oat in a safe of ours and kept it suirounded with lire for a week. Ai the end of the week, what condition do you suppose tho oat was io?" ''Dead," said the merohant. "Yes, deal," said the salesman. "But do you know how it died?' ' "No. how?" "It froze to death."-Exchange.
