down and picked it Pp.
It was a folded paper of thick sub -
Otiose, and but littlestained or palled,
as if it had been in the positioa in
which he had found it for some Urn°.

tie dropped into a chair and unfolded
the paper.

cument, and o commencing to read it

But how on eartlf had it come to be
concealed in tbe back of this ineester-
lous picture? Who bad put it there, aud
why?
For a few minutes Berne felt as a
man does who is fortunate -or unfor-
tunate -enough to pick up a letter in
the street. He dishx't want to read it,
and yet he couldn't find out to whom it
belonged unless he did read it.
With a feeling of curiosity and ex-
eiternent he drew a (lair tip to the fh.e
and commenced the perusal. But berm*
he had got through a dozen lines the
legal jargon made his brain swim and
so eonfused hint that he had to begin
over again.
Ile had got to the length of half a
deism lines when there came a knock
at the door, and his man entered.
liertie rose as if he had been disco in the act of committing a crime,
and folding up the will, stuffed it behind
the clock on the mantel shelf.
-Mr. Vessel about the horse, my lord,"
eatt the man.
lustantly tne. will was driven out of
13erlic'e mind. Mr. Vaesel had a racer
121 eliarge of his lordship, and on Ole
horee depended a great deal more of
Bettie's money than he is ould have liked
to OW11.
"011, show hint up; no, wait," he add-
ed, quickly; "Pll come down to. lane,"
arta putting the picture face downwards
on the top cif the bureau he caught up
Eni
hie hat and ran downstairs. "
.Mr. Vessel had a street deal to say -
about the horse, twat' was „ particularly
anxious that Lord Berne should go to
a neighboring stable where a groom, who
hnd some important information to dis-
cloge, was waiting for them.
Bertie consented and the two weut off,
The valet mule up the fire, and began
to deer tip the litter width his meter
had. made. He earefealy collected the
bits of the broken frame, and put them
in the fire, end that they might burn
the quicker, collected the (Ade and ends
from the waste -paper basket, and added
them to the heap, then he shook the
• teeth, and Was sauntering to the win-
dow. when there came a ring at the
door.
The valei looked over the balcony, and
eeeirit that it was Mr. Mordaunt Royce,
went ddiwn to answer the door.
"Iris lordehip is not in," he said; "heee
;pat stepped out with Mr. Vessel."
"Jr. Vessel!" said Royce, who also
had an interest in the borse. "Do you
think he will be long? 11 not, I will
go upstairs and wait.' .
"011, he won't be long, sir; he's gone
• out without his overcoat; he can't be
:natty minutes."
"Then I'll go up and wait," seid Royce,
and he walked upstairs into Bertie's
re0111.
Ho had come to thank Berne for his
heroic conduct at the Coronet, and to
smooth saver and eeplain his secrecy in
iegard to his engagement to Miss Ida
Trevelyan.
Lord Bertie's tiger ease was on the
table, and Royce lit a cigar and then
sauntered up to the fire.
As he did vo his eyes were attracted
by the picture lying face downward on
the burean. He went up to it and took
it up carelessly, thinking that it would
be either a, portrait of Bertie's horse or
some famous ballet dancer.
"Bertie's going lu for fine arts," he
mused with a sneer,
Then he turned the picture over, and
with an exclamation nearly let it drop
from his handl.
It was the portrait of the Countess of
Arrowfield, the portrait whichdle" had
last seen in old Craddock's safe.
For a moment Boyce was turned to
stone, It seemed to him too incredible
to be true. He carried it to the win-
dow and examined it minutely. Yes, it
was the original picturd; the picture
that was so like Joan Ormsby, the picture
whieh Craddock had had copied and so
earefolly retained. But how did it come
into Lord Berne Dewsbury's pdssession?
"Can the .old idiot. Iwo given -sold
it to hint?" inuttered Royce. -"Impos-
sible! And yet five pounds would tempt
the miserable hound!"
Then he looked .again, and saw that
Berne had forted it out of the old oaken
frame. Why had he done that?
The frame was a enriosity in itself,
and of as much value its the picture.
Happening to glance at the fireplace,
lei saw a fragment of gilding, ited then
the remeles of the frame smouldering
in Lha fire. Mystified and alarmed, he
stood with tha pieture in his band.
'What did it mean? How had Berne

had he &timed the frame?

Here were Ids fondest liopee fully

11 \vas ell plain to him now, Bettie
had bought the picture of old Craddock,
and, removing the frazzle for some rea-
son or other, had discovered the will
coneealed within it.
But had he read it? The frame had
been destroyed just before he came. In;
the pieees were still smouldering in the
fire. Hati Bertie had time to make hira-
self acgtutinted with the document, and,
if so, what would be the consequences?
With hie hand to his brow, Mordaunt
Royce tried to realize the situation, .1f

when he had read it, if he lied not done

off. with it in his pocket! Berne would
know 11)211 110 bad been there and would
euspeet him of the theft! There was no
time to be lost, Berne might be back
at any moment.
Desperate, almost frenzied with Phi-
plexity, he strode up and down the
room.
Then suddenly as a streak of light-
ning, an idea flashed upon him. Taking
out his penknife he cut off a corner of
the paper, without injuring the import.
ant part of the document, and carefully
putting the will in his pocket, went to
the fireplace and held e the piece he had
eut off to the flames. When about half
of it was burnt, he let the remainder
smoulder until it had become brown
and then dropped it carefully on the
hearth.
He had scarcely completed this elab-
orate preparation when Bertie entered.
"Hallo, Royce!" he exclaimed. "Been
here long? Sorry to keep you waiting.
I ran out with Vessel, wanted to see me
about the horse—"

"That's nonsense; it was as ranch for
my own penes of raiud as anything else
that I decided to destroy it. There was
on old oak frame about it, and I knock-
ed it to bits. When I had got the back
off, I found that there was something
concealed in it -between the back and
the picture, I mean."
"Ideally," said Royce with a smile,
and he moved so that his back stood to
the light. "What was it? -a roll of
bank notes, Bertle? If so, your fifty
pounds was a good investment,"
"Bank notes -not" said. Bertie, eager-

isterial aseociations yesterday a clergy-
man declared that the modern church
should. not try to compete with the
nicicelodean, the theatre and the leeture
bureau. He insisted that the church is
not a place of entertainment, but on
religious instruction, where men and
women should resort for spiritual up.
lift rather titan anausernent. These are
tridents indeed, or were n few years
ago, but they have lost ranch ot their
force of late. Too many pesters in
their desire to fill empty pews adept
the methods of vaudeville. The free
show, 'whether in the church or etsis-
svbere, can always be depended upon to
draw the erotvd, and it continues. to at.
tend, until the novelty wears off or some
rival institution offers more powerful
attractions.

MAKING THE LOG BURN BRIGHT.
"Curious ideas some people have of
patents," a New York coal dealer's said.
"A man came in here the other day and
wanted to know if we ever heard of bor-
ng holes in the logs we sell for open
wood wires, because, he said, if the idea
was new he was going to get a patent
on it.
"I asked him what might be the use of
boring holes in the logs; to hang them
up? He said everyone diked to see the
blaze in an open wood fire and when it
got low they poked it or put on fresh
loge just to see some more flame. If you
bored an inch hole through the middle of
a log and put it on the fire wth the hole
vertical It would form a kind of chim-
ney, ana you would have a cheerful lit.

OLDEST MAN IN SCOTLAND.
james Grieve,believed to he the old-
est man in Scotland, died at his dwell-
ing, Coran-tee, Loch Eckside, a few
nights ago, says the Westminster Ga-
zette. He was a native of Inverness-
shire, where, according to hie MI belief.
Ito was borrnin'the year 1800. He fixed
the date of his birth by his recollections
of Waterloo. He was then a boy work-
ing in the fields, and when the news of
the victory arrived he along with his
fellow -laborers, partietpated in the gen-
eral rejoieings. At that time he was 14
of 13 years of age. Ile maintained tha
U85 of his faculties almost up to the last.
and was able to see and speak with visi-
tors till within a few weeks ago.
Mr. Grieve had spoken with men who
hail seen Prime Charlie, flIld had beard
bis grandfather deeeribe that historic
personage; and his own father and' his
wide had taken p art in a Highland clan
feud. For 'almost 05 years he worked as
a shepherd, and even after he had retir-
ed from continuous labor he continued
to asaist in the fields, "taking a turn at
the hay," as he phrased it.
