Breed, who made this famous will, hailed
from Boston, and settled in 'Lynn before
it was the great centre of the 8/100 trade,

Mrs. Breed was both startled and

something I ought to know, won't thee'
please tell me ?"
.. No, sister," he ,aeta, eat anal thy

One of his somainaew always mistrusted
him after the affair ot his first will, and
predicted that he would play them a trick,

left every cent to his family, bat in saoh a
