The will of John Hluck, giving ill** hulk of his estate jo ICdwurd Hutter, was up* held. A chuckle of satisfaction e? raped the Hps of the fortunate legatee. In strong contrast to ills mean fared, furtive eyed iiulf cousin, wan Marvin Wallets. who iuui been the heir ut law until the will was discov ered. Not for a moment did he doubt (hat the Instrument produced by a relative whom John litiick had ab horred was a base forgery, How 'ever, one of the witnesses to'the will was produced who swore to Ids slg naftmv 44 c had once neen a servant of Hlack. The other alleged signature was (hat of Hugh Marston, who iiad Ht one time been an agent for the de cedent. The whereabouts of this mun could not bo foun.l, bi.it several wit nesses swore to his signature. It was after eight o'clock In ttie evening and Walters faced a high wind accompanied by nitters of snow. What little means lie possessed had been exhausted In litigation. He turn ed Into the first pawnshop ho catne to, left his watch with the proprietor, took a street car and alighted at a transfer point. He stood waiting for a connecting car, scarcely noticing a little girl who crowded close to bin side seeking shelter rrom the fitful wind, until Just as the car approached she uttered a little cry. "Ho quick, the car is here!" spoke Walters, urging the Child forward by the arm. "Hut 1 Can't," walled the child. "My transfer. The wind lias blown It away. Oh, find It, please! please, for 1 have no money to pay h new fare and It Is two miles to home." Walters urged the child toward the ??ear platform. "Never mind the trans fer, little one," he said, "I'll attend to your fare." The child looked tip with wonder ing, grateful eyes as tie led her to a seat in the warm, comfortable car. [ He scanned her fragile form and | pinched wqn face with sympathy and i Interest. Ills kindly act had won her ! fontldence and she answered his quea- ' f'lons clearly. She had been to a ills- j tance with a note for the keeper of ; the men's furnishing store for whom t her mother had made neckties.

We mo oft on find that when a man's lite Ik given to any particular work he Is apt to be inlcecitod In tli? curious slde*of ilils Nil mo work. It In small wonder then thut the kind's printers of Knghtiid shouhl have a collection of Blhlo curiosities. There are many Bible readers who delight In having their own particular Bible bound In a binding that is out of the ordinary, I.lenee not only the iihuuI anlinals have been requisitioned for their skins, hut the unusual ones an well?reptiles, fish and beasts of ijfey, Often these Bibles are used for Christ mas gifts. It is strange to think of a huntsman in the wilds of Asia killing the hear, or n sailor in some northern seu catching the seal, that gives the skin with which a Bible shall he eventually hound to grace the desk of some fuatldloua woman or an eccentric millionaire. Yet such Is often the case, anil rather expensive luxuries they are. One Bible Is covered with a long, thick, soft hair, so shaggy that the shape of the book Is hidden. This waa taken from no less a beast than a grizzly bear. Another Is made from the skin of a serpent, which seems not at all Inappropriate when we recall that to the Oriental the serpent has always been the symbol of wisdom, A gray, beaded surface, quite resembling glass, Is presented by another binding which upon inquiry we find came from a man-eating shark. Delicate, Indeed, Is the soft, snowy. fluffy cover given by a white lamb. There .Is a badger Bible and a skunk Bible, the latter looking for all the world like a lady's muff. After a Moment's /Study we recognize In a reddish-brown blndlrtg the skin of a squirrel. The Persian sheep, th* Himalaya sheep and other foreign va rieties of the family have been called upon to furnish Bible coverings. Goat skin tanned Is morocco leather. But there are some people who like a bind ing with the fur le?ft on the skin. It la n tine shaded gray and seems substan tial. But most curious of all Is a Bible houihl In the skin of a giraffe. Of course, no more delightful binding can be imagined than seal. And even though none of us might care for Bibles bound in any of these curious covers for our Christmas gifts, still It Is interesting to learn what a few of the "other half of the world" delight in. Hilda, Abbess of Whitby. In 1 1 r? Hie world hold its breflth. mute willi horror, The Zeppelins lint] swooped down ov(?r Whitby, on tho const of Yorkshire. A cry of ven geance went up when It was learned that l^ilf of the ancient abbey of Whitby luid boon destroyed. Founded In the seventh century, it was Hilda's abbey. The majestic ruins through all tho ages could be seen as you climbed the <|uitI>11 little seaside town of Whit by, Its red-tiled houses seeming lo lead directly and only to that abbey on the heights. Hilda was a princess of the blood royal, but early 'dedicated her self to the religious life." KJpg Oswy gave her a grant of land and she erect ed the celebrated convent, or abbey, of Whitby. Of her sanctity and of her learning tl>e men in high places In church and state who sought her ad vice ami prayers attest in full measure. Oaodmon. the earliest Kngllrih poet, tarried in the monastery for monks which she erected near her own con vent' to reform the religious life of friars. The famous council of Whitby whs held In the monastery. Could not the Zeppelins have spared the sacred and almost porfe< i ruins of a holy spot like Wliithv abhcN ???-Chicago. Journal. Increased Use of Coffee. Whether prohibition has or has not Increased the use of coffee. it is at lea^t a fact that the people of the Foiled Slates are now eon^utuuig more ? ?oflee than has been their ciMom and (ire paving far gr.-uier sums for it than over before.
