"I dare say Jenny will take care of hiaat." she said philosophically. "Jenny has a smaller family than I have. Bat 1 don't see why he carne up to London, instead of staying peaceably down in Tortoise Hollow, where he belongs." Mrs, Jenny Eldertop, hlr. (;beverei'a youngest niece. had n smaller family than her sister Rebecca; but, then, she had a mailer income as well. She had just finished a vigorous day's cleaning, When Uncle Caleb was announced. "Oh, drat the neon!" said Mrs. El dertop. wringing, her parboiled Lingers Sint of a haa-in of steaming soapsuds. "What sends hint here of all the times in the world?" And she went down stairs ungraci- ously enough to the street door, where her husabaud was welcoming the old stranger. "Come in, Uncle Cheverel, come in,' said bonen Will Eldertop. "We're all apaide down here—we mostly are, now that the s:priug cleaning is going on. But there's rouzu for you if yon don't a v mind the children and tbejrnoise, endo little smell of whitewashin the spare room." Mira. Eldertop's welcome ' was by no means so cordial. She looked, to use a common expression, "vinegar and darn- ing needles" at the visitor, while in her inmost soul she calculatedd the prob- ability of the cold boiled barand tur- •atips holding uu t for one more at supper. "Come, Benny, don't scowl so," said Mr. Eldertop, when Uncie Caleb had gone np entire to wash his bands and face. "Ain't he your medal" "A good for nothing old vagabond," maid Mra. E,hl;'rtop acidly, "without a halfpenny Laid np ahead." "For all that he's your guest," said her husband. '"and you're bound to be .civil to him And here's his overcoat now with a big zigzag rent in it. Just mend it while you're waiting for the &tittle to boil." "I won't!" said Mrs. Eldertop. "All right," retorted her lord and Master. "Then fill take it next door to Alexia Allen to mend." Now, Misr Allen, the tailoreas, who lived in the adjoining house. was Mretty and bu om to look upon, and rs. Eldertop had nursed comfortably a jealousy of her for the last four years. "You'll do no such thing!" said Jen- ny tartly "Hand it beret" And she threaded a needle with black silkand thrust her finger into a thimble very much as a determined creamier of old might have donned sword and shield for some encounter with the Moslem. "Virhat's that?" said Mi'. Eldertop, for a folded paper fell from the pocket of the garment as his wife turned it up- side down. "Some tomfoolery or other, " answer - led Mrs. Jenny brusquely. "I fancy you're mistaken," said Mr Eldertop. "It's the rough draft of a will. "But he's got nothing to leave," re- torted Mrs Eldertop. "I'm not so certain of that," retort - tad Will. "Just look here, Jenny! 'I give and bequeath to niy two beloved nieces, in equally divided parts, the ,sura of n10,000, at present invested in 'consols, ancl' '— "Go on i' said Mrs. Eldertop breath- lessly. "Read the rest." "There is no rest," said her bus - hand. "That's the end of the paper. It's only a rough draft, I tell you. And now what's your opinion of Uncle Ca erel's fortunes?" b v "He's been a miser all along," said Mrs. Elderton, her face growing radiant, "making up poor months and traveling .around the cuuntry with all this money in the fund:,. a regular old character —just like those one reads about in novels! Put it back, Will; put it back. We've no business to be prying into Uncle Caleb's .secrets. But what a blue- ing it is he came here instead of stop- ping at Rebent:ea Larkins'.

Uncle Caleb looked a little puzzled. 'Well, said he.

""Jzlet as you say, Niece Jenny," aa- rented the old man complacently. Mrs. Eldertop felt that elle had car- ried her point. But when Mr. and Nen, Larkins came on Sunday afternoon, to preaa a similar petition" Uncle Caleb opened hie eyes. "My importance seems to have "gone np' in the nlarkot," be observed. quaintly. ""I never was in such demand! among my relatives before. Bat I can't be in two places at once,, that's plain." And be decided to remain with Mrs. Eldertop, greatly to the indignation of the Larltns family, who did not hesi- tate hint boldly at unfair advantages and anduo impartiality. But just as Mrs. Larkins wog rising to depart, with her handkerchief to her eyee, little Johnny Eldertop came clam- oring for a piece of paper to cut a kite tail from. "Go along." eaid Mrs. Eldertop im- patiently. "Vire've no paper here. Go to Ame- lia," "Hold on, little chap—hold on l" said Uncle Caleb, fumbling in bis overcoat pocket—be bad been just about starting for a walk when the Larkins party ar- rivecl—"bere's a bit as is of no use to nobody." And he produced the "rough draft' and bestowed it on Johnny. "One side's written on," said be, "and t'other ain't. It was lying on the floor in Mr, Watkins' ]aw office when I stepped in to sae if Joseph Hall was em- ployed there as porter still An old chum of mine Hall was, in Tortoise Hollow. I can't bear to see even a bit of paper wasted, so I axed the clerk if it was of any use. He said no—it was only a draft of Dr. Falcon's wilL Dr. Falcon made a new will every six months, he said, so I jest picked it up and pet it in my pocket. Everything comes in use once in seven years, they say, and this is just right for tittle Johnny's kite tail" Mrs. Larkins looked at Mrs. Elder - top. Mr. Eldertop stared into the spec- tacled eyes of Mr. Larkins. Uncle Caleb chuckled benevolently as little Johnny skipped away with the piece of paper which had been freighted with such a wealth of anticipation. The Larkinses took leave without any unnecessary formula of adieu, and Mrs. Eldertop took occasion to tell Uncle Caleb that perhaps he had better prose- cute his original design of the Graves- end visit. "Because we're expecting company tomorrow," said she, "and our best room will be wanted for while. And,'' she added, within herself, "I will take good care that it shan't be empty again, just at present. " So Uncle Caleb Cheverel went to Gravesend, where Cousin John was as poor and warm hearted as himself, and he was never invited to return to Lon- don again. Five years later Uncle Caleb departed this life and left behind him £20,000 in consols—willed to John Clark. To his "dear nieces," Jane Eldertop and Rebecca Larkins, he left £5 each to pay, for the trouble be put them to when he visited them To say that there was joy: in the nieces' households when the will was read would be to say what is false, for, if the old man could have guessed at all the unkind things that would be uttered regarding him, I doubt• if he would have left them even £5 each.—Glasgow Scottish Nighties SOLOMON iN ALL HIS, GLORY NEVER DRESSate MORE LAVISHLY, In: the Matter er Tate.

"To relieve all this violent blue, she wore on her shoulders a sheeny white silk shawl; but even this shawl, which as usually worn gives so much softness to the face, was rather stiff and unman- ageable and seemed to add to the width; moreover, It could not be thrown over the bead in the ordinary way, for the Sultana had on .her state head-dress, a stiff velvet cap about four inches high at the back and rising to a peak in the front and covered all over with every Imaginable precious stone under the sum Rubies, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, topazes, both pink and yellow, and I know not all what.

The necklace was so long as to reach to the waist, round which a waist- band of broad gold braid was fastened by a heavy diamond buckle; on either side of the bodice was a watch pocket, the one containing her watch, the other al- most conoealed by an enormous brooeh of emeralds, which secured the other end of the massive gold watch-ohain set with very fine Burmese rubies.
