In it was a seal- ed iron box, and a letter yellow with ,age and sadly defaced by mildew. It was marked on the outside: "Copy of a document left in the care of my friend and legal 'adviser, Squire ,Atkins, who is my sole confident as to this!Secret repositary." She opened the letter and read: "I herewith bequeath a solemn • trust to my nearest-tuakeTelative. I have been censidered an unmarried man, but it • not true.

Good by: Yours sticcessfnlly, ROBERT PBTHERWW. u here, at the most important art, Summer -time again had lured the little family to the old homestead. All was in readiness to give the travel- lers a home -like and cordial reception. Roy had roused from his indifference since Robert had met with such unex- pected success, and had done his best to make things look attractive. to the young stranger. - He had brought mosses from his favorite haunts in'the woods, and ar- ranged them in a Wardian case for the reception of partridge berties and ferns and other woodland beauties. This he placed in her room. 4' Other little acts of thoughtful kindness sur- prised and pleased Mildred, coming as tinny did from her abstracted brother. Hilda's'gentle- loveliness proved so attractive that every heart in the fam- ily yielded , her allegiance but one. Rey appeared cold and indifferent, though 'Hilda tried many an inno- cent wile to win hi a friendship. Her dark cheek learned to flash rosily nt his entrance, and his distant, demean- or was evidently a cloud upon her happiness. At last Robert took him to task about, it. Roylistened quietly until his brother had finishedsp.eaking, then he burst forth with the impetu- osity of a restrained torrent: "Robert, do you know what you are doing? You are adding fuel to fire. Do you really think me blind to Hilda's goodness and beauty? No; but Pm not a dastardly sneak. • Think you r would raise a hand to win away that angel front you who so richly deserve her?

They -stood thus face to face for a moment, Roy's lips working convulsively in the effort to be caltn. Then Robert burst into a hearty, ringing laugh, which made Roy's face beam with contagious sym- pathy before Robert's words fell upon his ear.

Little Davie Connelly,- the sweet - voiced lad who is known all over the Pacific coast, sang his father out 'of jail in the Spokane police court the other da y. David Connelly, sr., had been arrested for being drunk, and had been fined $1 and costs by Judge Miller. Then Davie appeared. Prosecutor _Platter was on mirer of -the lad; and so was Inspector Gough. At their re- quest the little fellow sang in a voice of affecting sweetness, "Kiss and Let's Make up." Judge Miller listened, and when he had concluded asked his name. "Davie Connolly," said the lad. • "Why—ahem—who's your father?" asked the judge, with a suspicion of tenderness in his voice. "Why, he's the man you just sent to jail," said the little fellow, • "I think we had better let the:father go for the boy's sake," said Mr Plattor. "Sing 'My Mother's Picture '." sug- gested Inspector Gough, and 'the boy sang with tender emotion the appeal of the child not to sell his mother's por- trait. It was a sweet, pathetic refrain that brought emotions to the heart. "Does your father get drunk often?" asked the judge, as he looked sympa- thetically at thelittle singer. "I4o, sir; this is the first time inn' year," he replied. "And, judge, if you .will let him go, I'll have woek at the Louvre next week and bring you the money for his fine." . "You—why What do you earn ?" "Seventeen dollars and a half a week," replied Davie, and in another minute it was arranged and the parent was allowed to go. .
