lOAKFORD PARK LAKE BURSTS
CAUSING AWFUL DESTRUCTION
OF BOTH LIFE AND PROPERTY.
I Sunday Pleasure Seekers Caught Like Rats in a Trap by a wall
of Water That Leaves Wreck and Ruin From that
Resort Clear Down to Irwin.
COMtnS AND GOERS.
BODIES OE 21 VICTIMS HAVE BEEN RECOVERED.
Following a cloudburst Lake Placid at Oakford Park, a resort owned by
[the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Greensburg electric road, on its line between
Greensburg and Jeannette, broke through the 30-foot breast wall about 4
o’clock Sunday afternoon last and the wild waters caught many pleasure
seekers there like rats in a trap and left death and destruction in their Brush
Creek wake to points below Irwin. Some $3,000 have been subscribed to a
|relief fund, but much more is needed.
The park was full of pleasure seekers, many of whom reached places of
|safety on the high ground when warned that the lake was liable to break, but
I others ran for shelter to the street car station and barn where they were caught
(like rats in a trap by the awful rush of water that also engulfed a car loaded
I with people that was standing on the track about ready to start for Jeannette.
I In an instant the debris of the ruined park buildings was strewn with struggl-ling
men, women and children who were hurried down to death in the yellow
I flood as it rushed down Brush Creek.
The great Pennsylvania railroad embankment at Jeannette, a mile or
I more below, stopped the flood for a time after the plant of the Greensburg
(Machine Company had been carried from its foundation. Here were found
(many of the bodies of the victims. This check doubtless saved Jeannette
[much destruction of property if not of life, although the lower portion of the
(town was flooded. The same was true of Burrell, Penn and Manor, although
(at Irwin the old railroad freight station was washed away together with the
(street and Youghiogheny railroad bridges, the wreckage of houses, stables,
(fences and all manner of things gathered up by the flood being carried down
(and scattered along near Larimer. Although it is feared it is not complete,
■the following is the list of victims whose bodies have been recovered largely
[by gangs of men in charge of Sheriff 1 reseller:

At Greensburg but one life was lost, that of Harry Fleming, a young
Inine driver, who was drowned in helping to get horses out of the stables at
]the flooded old fair grounds. Six tine race animals were lost. The big
Youngwood yards of the Pennsylvania railroad were badly washed out and
[wo Southwest bridges swept away. Tracks were all twisted up and freight
:ars tossed about in endless confusion. Traffic was entirely shut off and it
vas not until late the next night that the 500 men hurried to the scene could
jet a single track laid through. An engine was run out on the Sewickley
branch bridge at this point and it went down when the water had washed the
[ibutments away.
There were many less serious washouts along this branch up the Sewick-
(ey Valley, while much more damage was done on the New Alexandria line
pwing to the reservoir at one of the J amison coke plants bursting. The
leservoir at the Frick company’s Marguerite works, in the Latrobe district,
(vas damaged and the Dorothy mines there were flooded, but the damage
llone was slight in comparison with that wrought at the mines about Greens-ktrg
and Irwin. The Greensburg electric light and power house was flooded,
leaving the town in darkness, and the street car tracks south of that place
vere badly washed out. It is roughly estimated that the losses of the railroad
knd street railway people will foot up nearly $1,000,000. It is said that the
founty lost $100,000 in bridges and then there are the coal and coke oper-
|ors to hear from.
There was a heavy downpour of rain here about the same time Sunday
[veiling, accompanied by sharp thunder and lightning, the tower of the West
End Church of God being struck. A thorough investigation will have to be
(nade before the extent of the damage done can be learned. A number of
East End cellars were flooded. The water got into the office and planing
vill of John Husband & Bro., destroying much stationery and damaging
hooks in the safe, to say nothing of mud deposited over machinery in the
mill. The street railway bridge at McClure’s was weakened, delaying traffic
(here for a few hours. There were several small washouts on the Mount
pleasant branch of the Pennsylvania road, causing trains to be several hours
ate, but the B. & O. schedule was not interfered with.
Three Bold Bobbers.

An Ugly Little Fire.
A skyrocket went through the front
first story room at C. M. Galley’s Church
street residence about 2 o’clock Satur-day
morning, setting fire to Mrs. Road-man’s
millinery goods. William Wise
and a party of friends going home from
Parfittown discovered the flames,
wakened the sleeping inmates and gave
valuable assistance in extinguishing the
ugly little fire that did some $50 damage.

Many Active Years, Have
Settled Down in Mount Pleasant as
the Evening Shades Fall on Their
Well Spent Lives.
Mr. and Mrs Leopold Granl celebrat-ed
their golden wedding on Saturday
last at their East Washington street
home, happy as only are parents when
so honored by the presence of all tbeir
living children who, upon this joyous
occasion, extended to the third genera
tion. The circle was complete with
years Mr. Graul followed the huckster-ing
and peddling business, at which he
made many friends throughout West-moreland.
They then moved back to
the South Side, Pittsbnrg, where Mr.
Graul worked for the Fisher Foundry
Company for a time and then spent
fourteen years as janitor of the South
Side Odd Fellows’ building. Ten years
ago. their children having been all
married, they came here to reside in the
evening of their well spent lives.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
The Wooddale Coal and Coke Com-pany,
promoted by Jesse A. Stanffer and
other Scottdale capitalists, has pur-chased
the Samuel Clark farm of 700
acres, at Wooddale, Fayette county, and
bas started a test for the Freeport and
tinder veins of coal.

but one exception, Mrs. Joseph Adel
man. of New York, who was unable to
attend.
July 3rd marked the half century
these wonderfully well preserved old
people had jogged along together, shar-ing
each other’s joys and sorrows, and
on that day they received the congratu-'
lations of their sons and daughters and
their children's children who all, thanks
to early training, were able to address
the celebrants in their native language,
the German, before following their
letters in person the next day.
There were present at Saturday’s eele
bration Mr. and Mrs. Jackson D.
Hughes, of Pittsbnrg, and the latter’s
son of her first marriage, Albert Roehn,
wife and son. of McKeesport; Mr and
Mrs. Andrew C. Graul, of Sharpsbnrg;
Mr. and Mrs. John Koenig and three
children, Mr. and Mrs. Leopold Graul,
Jr., and two children, Mr and Mrs.
Herbert Owen and son, Pittsburg, and
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Graul and
three children, of this place, with John
P. Werkman, Sr., of Greensburg, who,
with his daughter, Miss Lizzie, was the
only one of Mr. Graul’s old German
friends able to be present.
Of course, the main feature of the
day was the big dinner that was in full
keeping with the importance of the
occasion; in tact, the good old mother
confessed that the golden wedding cake
fresh from “Charley’s” bakery was
better than the one on her bridal table.
Then, Andrew read an original poem
that told of this country’s progress dur-ing
the married life of his parents and,
while he took all the poet’s license in
the interest of rythm, “Andy’s” produc-tion
was voted all right. The children
saw to it that there was noise enough
to maintain their well established repu-tations
as strict observers of Indepen-dence
Day.
Leopold Graul, Sr., was born on Jan-uary
28, 1828, in Woerlitz, now a part
of the kingdom of Prussia, the son of a
weaver, although weak eyes prevented
him from following his father’s trade.
After traveling through Poland and as
far east as St. Petersburg, Russia, he
came to this country in 1850, locating
in Birmingham, now the South Side,
Pittsburg. Here he wooed and won
Miss Christiana Wideman who was
bom in Illfeld, kingdon of Hanover,
Germany, January 18, 1826, and who
came to Pittsburg in 1852. The wed
ding took place there on July 8, 1853,
Rev. Zimmerman, of the United Evan-gelical
ProteBtant church, performing
the ceremony.
A year or so later they moved to
Hempfield township, this county, near
Adamsbnrg, and for the next twelve
wife and four children, three sons and
one daughter.
The stockholders of the newly char
tered Shade Coal Mining Company held
their first meeting here Monday and
organized by electing I. F. Overholt, of
this place, president; William Gahagan,
of Arrow, Somerset connty, vice presi
I dent, and J. W. Overholt, of this place,
secretary and treasurer. The company
took over 717 acres of coal and timber
lands in the Scalp Level Basin, Somer-set
county, BD\ will complete develop-ments
alrefc • well under way on the
property. T ,o intention is to erect a
tine steel tipple with automatic appli
| ances and use electricity for both min-ing
and hauling the coal, of which
there are the 31 and 4 foot veins of high
class steam quality.
MEXICAN ENTERPRISE
In Which Several OfhcerB are Well
Known Here.
The Pittsburg Plantation Company,
of which Charles P. Parker, the H. C.
Frick Coke Company's auditor, is presi-dent,
and flon. W. F. Morrison, of this
place, a director, held its annual meet-ing
of stockholders in Pittsburg last
week. The capital stock is $300,000,
divided into 3,000 shares which are held
largely by capitalists of that city who
have firm faith in the future of tropical
Mexico.
The company owns one thousand
acres of land at Tolosa. state of Oaxaca,
Mexico, within one mile of the Tehuan-tepec
National Railroad, which con-nects
the Pacific Ocean with the Gulf
of Mexico and affords easy and rapid
transit from the coast to all parts of the
world. The property has three mile
frontage on the Jumiapa river and tram-ways
encircling cane fields to sugar
mills and the Tehuantepec railroad.
This section of the isthmus is the rich-est
producing state in tropical Mexico.
Millions of capital have been invested
in this part of Mexico, and modern
methods and machinery and Americans
with their proverbial enterprise and en-ergy
are making garden spots where
only a short time ago were dense for-ests
and wild vegetation. The com-pany
will plant its entire field in sugar
cane, rubber, coffee, cacao, ginger, pine-apples
and oranges, and has at the pres-ent
time two hundred acres planted in
sugar cane.

A FINE
MUSICAL
PROSPECT
For the People oF the Coke
Region
DURING THE COMING WINTER.
UNDER ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY
MR. ROBERT McDOWELL.
A Grand Chorus of Over Four Hundred
Voices Conducted by Mr. James P.
McCollum, the Famous Fittsbug
Leader, will Give Concerts at Union-town.
Connellsville, Scottdale and
Mount Pleasant. Rehearsals Will
Bsgin with the Return of Cool
Weather.
An announcement was made at the
recent recital given by the students of
Robert J. McDowell’s Private School of
Music in Library Hall, Conuellsville,
which will delight every lover of ora-torio
music in the entire coke region.
It was to the effect that early in the
coming autumn choral organizations
would be effected in Uniontown. Con-nellsville,
Scottdale and Mount Pleasant
with a view to oratorio perforformances
on a scale never heretofore attempted
in this region.
While the chorus in each town will be
a local affair. eRch will he a part of the
complete organization which will be as-sembled
for occasional mass rehearsals
and concerts, and for such an event the
total number of singers will probably
be somewhat in excess of fonr hundred.
A well drilled chorus of this size is sel-dom
henrd even in the larger cities, but
the material for it exists in abundance
here in the coke region and only the
executive ability and proper innsioal
guidance are needed to unite and per-fect
such an enterprise. Mr. James P.
McCollum, the well known conductor
of the Mozart Club, of Pittsbnrg, has
been secured to take charge of the inu-si.'
al work, directing each of the cho-ruses
in person.
A number of the most public spirited
and substantial business men of each
town have guaranteed the project
against possible loss, and while the pro-ceeds
of the concerts will undoubtedly
make the organization perfectly inde-pendent,
there will be no nervousness
in regard to its future and no essential
will be sacrificed on account of financial
conditions. The chorus will then be-gin
operations under doubly auspicious
circumstances, both artistic and finan-cial,
and from the commendation the
plan has already received, there is no
danger of its defeat through the indif-ference
of either singers or public.
Handel’s famous oratorio, “The Mes-siah,”
has been selected for the first
performance, which will be given, ac-cording
to a time-honored custom, in
the holidays.
Each chorus will begin separate re-hearsals
in the early fall and, as before
mentioned, all will be combined for the
performance. It is quite likely that
each town will have a performance of
the work, as protests have already been
made against confining the concerts to
any one town when both population and
public interest seem sufficient to make
the concerts a success in each city rep-resented
in the chorus.
The Library Orchestra, which has
but just completed a series of subscrip-tion
concerts, and which is so necessary
to the support of such a body of singers,
will be engaged on the same plan and
will add greatly to the general effect.
The credit of organizing this great
undertaking and of having made the
arrangements already consummated be-longs
to Robert J. McDowell, whose ef-forts
to improve the state of music in
this region are well known. Mr. Mc-
Dowell will spend the summer in Eu-rope
but the chorus arrangements are
already far advanced, and such work
as will have to be done during the sum-mer
will be left in the hands of able
lieutenants, so that everything will be
ready for the first rehearsals at the close
of the heated term. The whole plan, so
sensibly conceived and so ably supported
by both musical and business people,
commends itself to the warm approval
of all those interested in the moral and
musical upbuilding of the community,
and will, by its success, place this re-gion
in a notable position—as it already
is through its wonderful coke industry—
musically, in the United States.
The Fourth at Scottdale.
Scottdale had a large time on the
Fourth although rain interfered some-what
with the big parade. The cornet
band, taken down from here’by £. K.
Miller, manager of the Hazlett store, as
part of the Union Supply Company’s
exhibit, was awarded the $20 prize.

AN UNSUNG HEROIN£.
Margaret Shaw, Brave and Unselfish,
Saves a Little Child.
In an obscure and unmarked grave
In the burylng-ground of the old Mid-dle
Presbyterian church, a short dis-tance
to the north of the town of Mt.
Pleasant, Westmoreland county, Penn-sylvania,
lie the remains of a young
girl named Margaret Shaw, one of the
heroines of the fierce border warfare
on the old Pennsylvania frontier in
the eighteenth century. She was the
daughter of a pioneer settler named
Moses Shaw, who was the founder of
a family which has always been prom-inently
connected with the develop-ment
of Westmoreland county. He
was a maker of packsaddles. One of
his most famous contracts was the
making of the saddles used by the
American legion of General Anthony
Wayne on its memorable victorious
campaign in 1794, which forever broke
the power if the confederated Indian
tribes of the Ohio country. The home
of Moses Shaw was in the settlement
at Hannastown, then a place of vast
importance as the capital of West-moreland
county, but now forgotten,
save as a mere tradition, by all except
those who like to dig among the ruins
of the pioneer days. The prominent
place occupied by old Hannastown in
the life of the frontier made the town
a shining mark for attack by Indians
and British partisans during the Revo-lution.
Such an attack took place in
1782 with disastrous results. Few
lives were lost, but the old Western
Pennsylvania court town was wiped
out of existence for all time. This at-tack
gave Margaret Shaw, then a
young girl of only 16 years, the oppor-tunity
to do a deed of devoted sacri-fice.
She accepted the challenge of
fate, did her duty, and lost her life.
By her unselfish bravery she did not
win fame, but she is full as worthy of
being enshrined in verse and history
as many another who is so honored.
This is the simple story of Margaret
Shaw’s heroism.
On the day of the attack the people
at Hannastown were fortunately
warned of the approaching danger and
were able to take refuge in the block-house
near at hand. Here were gath-ered
young and old from the vicinity.
A sharp attack was made on the
stronghold, but there were within
trusty old double-barreled rifles and
keen eyes to sight them. The savages
soon learned this and gave their at-tention
to burning the town. This
they effectually did, and then depart-ed,
leaving the frightened but valor-ous
whites in safety, all save one.
That lone victim was the tender girl,
Margaret Shaw. Some time during
the progress of the attack on the
blockhouse a little child, innocent of
danger, crept near the only really
dangerous place In the structure, a
gate through which were some ppen-tr.
gs which gave entrance to an occa-sional
bullet. Suddenly the little one’s
peril was seen, and Margaret Shaw,
brave and unselfish, rushed to snatch
it away Into safety. One moment was
enough. The child was saved, but the
big-hearted girl came within range of
a hostile rifle. She received the fatal
ball through her breast into her left
lung. Staggering back, she gave the
child, all unconscious of the great sac-rifice
which had been made for it, to
its friends, and sank into the arms of
those who rushed to succor her. The
siege was soon over and the hostile
redskins went hack to the farther
frontier, but the stricken girl lay long
and fought the grim battle for life.
For two full weeks she struggled
against the odds of death, amid terri-ble
sufferings, and then the brief but
noble chapter of her life was ended.
She was burled in the old Middle
church yard, and there she lies to this
day. If her grave was ever marked
the stone has long ago fallen away,
and her sepulcher is lost. The writer
and others have often searched for
some trace of it by which it might be
located, but In vain. Had not Guya-suta
and his warriers gone on the war
trail to the old Westmoreland capital
the life of Margaret Shaw might have
been as the lives of hundreds of othe1-
frontier girls, but the moment of dan-ger
and self-sacrifice came to her, and
she was found to be made of the noble
stuff of which are fashioned the he-roes,
great and small, of human his-tory.
CHARLES L. SMITH.
Cause for Regret.
A Scot, who had been a long time
in the colonies, paid a visit to his
"native glen,” and meeting an old
schoolfellow, the two sat down to chat
about old times and acquaintances.
In the course of the conversation the
stranger happened to ask about a cer-tain
Gordie McKay.
“He’s dead long ago,” said his
friend, ‘‘and I’ll never cease regrettin’
him as long as I live.”
“Dear me! Had you such respect
for him as that?”
“Na, na! It wasna ony respec’ I had
for himself, hut I married his widow.”
Overdose of Harmony.
Qulzzer—What broke up the Young
Men’s Political club, to which you be-longed
?
Knoitt—Well, It was this way.
There had been such beautiful and un-interrupted
harmony In the organiza-tion
from the first that each man
claimed to be the sole cause of the
harmoniousness. Of course, they
couldn’t agree on that point and the
thing broke up in a row.
Another coal strike threatened!
Won’t those people be decent enough
to give the conutry time to get Its
breath?

Treasurer Stoner, of the Jacob Justice
Free Dispensary, by the executors of
the estate of the late Jacob Justice,
Messrs. Richard Randolph Parry and
.Tames R. Magee, of Philadelphia, is
$78,580.49. This is a goodly sum of
money in itself, were nothing said of
the splendid management of the exec-utors.
The residue of the estate, left by the
testator for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining a free dispensary here,
amounted to less than $50,000 when
these two gentlemen tools charge a
little over three veal's ago. Ry good
business foresight on their part in de-ferring
the sale of the rpal estate, stocks
and other securities, the bequest was
increased over 50 per cent.
The law would have allowed the ex
editors 5 per cent, for their trouble, but
they did it without one penny of cost
for the respect and esteem they have
for the meuiorv of their dead friend.
The dispensary board of trustees has
ordered crayon portraits of Messrs.
Parry aud Magee to hnng by the side of
a flue oil painting of Mr. Justice to
show its appreciation of their splendid
services. This may seem small in the
way of acknowledgement, but it was
all these two modest Philadelphians
would permit the grateful trustees to do.

Judge Elliott Rodgers, of Pittsburg,

nephew, Attorney William S. Byers, of
Greensburg, to recover $175,000 worth
of Mount Pleasant Coke Company bonds,
said to be in a Pittsburg safe deposit
vault, $40,000 caBb and the interest on
the bonds. Judge Rodgers decides that
the old man has proved his title to the
property and that it must be surrendered
to him.
To MY MANY FRIENDS AND PA-TRONS:—
The trouble that some un-scrupulous
persons took to tell you that
I am quitting the business and am go-ing
to leave town is only done for a pur-pose;
there is no truth in it. The only
motive for my closing out my entire
stock regardless of cost is to make badly
needed alterations in our store room, to
make more room for our large and in-creasing
business. With better facili-ties
and more energy, I hope to faith-fully
and honestly serve you for many
years to come. H. GOLDSTONE. 7 3 tf

July Clearance Sale of All Summer Goods.
A merchandise movement that will do what we want and what we’ve determined shall
be done—sell down to where we want it the largest stock of summer goods the store ever
owned. There is one to do it with—prices. It doesn’t take long to spend a lot of money
for printers’ ink—good a thing as it is. We think it better to spend half the amount for
printers’ ink and take dollars off the prices. Not only do we think this but we practice
what we preach.

his newspaper when lie looked up nnd
said:
“Under the regime of forty years ago

with high pri'cs for everything
would be hauled up pretty smartly.”
He pronounced Die word ns if spelled

“Under the what, did you say?”
“Under tin1 regime. Wasn’t my pro-nunciation

“You don’t get the word exactly

is reg-i-mee, of course. You have got
it mixed up witli some of those French
words you come across in novels.”
“But I haven’t, my dear. It is ‘ra-zheem,’
and every well learned person
will say so. I haven’t read a novel in
a year, and I don’t pretend to under-stand
French or try to get off any
French words.”
“And do you mean to tell me to my
face that I am a numskull and an
ass?” exclaimed Mr. Bowser as lie set
his jaw and grew red as tire.
“No, dear; I simply say that you
don’t give 1110 word the right pronun-ciation.
It Is nothing to dispute over,
however, and we will drop It. I>o you
think it will he colder tomorrow?”
“Colder or hotter lie hanged! You

I propose to have the matter settled.

haven’t I got just as good a right to
my way as tills infernal old inosshaek
nf a Webster has to his? I’ll bet dol-lars
to cents that even the tramps on
the streets call it reg-i-mee. I’ve a
good mind to go out and"—
lint he didn’t have to. The hell rang,
mid as he passed down the hall and
opened Die door a tramp stood there
and humbly asked for a dime to pay
for lodgings.
“Come right in here," replied Mr.
Bowser as lie seized him by the arm.
“Now, then, do you know beans from
pumpkins?”
“1 think I do,” was the reply.
“Then tell me how you pronounce the
word r-e-g-i-m-e.”
“I—I don’t think I’d call it ‘bee,’” re-plied
the man after some thought.
“Of course not.”
"And it can’t be buttermilk.”
“Have you got sawdust in your
bead?”
“I wouldn’t say it was cold chicken
or mince pie, but it may lie”—
“May he what?” asked Mr. Bowser
as the other hesitated.
“Durned if I don’t believe it’s n high-ball,
and I want to thunk you for it In
advance. If all men were us generous
as you are, us fellers”—
lie got no further—that is, he got a
good deal further. He got outdoors,
and the door struck his heels as he
went. Mrs. Bowser was trying hard
to keep a placid face as Mr. Bowser
returned to the sitting room, nnd not-ing
the fact lie pointed a finger at her
and sternly said:
“This performance is not half over
with yet. I will not sleep until I have
proved my case.”
“I am willing to let it go as you say,”
she replied. “What do we care wheth-er
it is reg-i-mee or ra-z.heem?”
“I care because I have been called an
ass and an idiot, and I don’t propose to
stand it. I will go out on the street
nnd put the ease to the public. You
needn’t protest, for it will do no good.”
lie went. Ills experience with the
tramp warned him against that class,
but meeting an intelligent looking man
with a bundle under his arm lie stop-ped
liini and said:
“A word with you, if you please.”
“Same old story, I suppose,” sneered
tlie man In reply, “nnd I haven’t time
to listen to it.”
“Sir, I am no tramp!” said Mr. Bow-ser
with great dignity.
“No? Then what is it?”
“How do you pronounce the word
spelled r-e-g-i-m-e?”
“Hump! Don’t you monkey with me,
old man! I wasn’t born yesterday.”
The mail passed on, and it took Mr.
Bowser ten minutes to get over his an
gcr and accost a second pedestrian
lie was told to forget it. The third
asked him when he got out of the lu-natic
asylum, and the fourth [licked up

■ EVER had Evariste breathed
so deeply and freely, never
liad his pulse beat so strong-ly,
ns after hearing Valsin,
an eyewitness; rehearse the
roic fall of his brother. His spirit
|ounded; he felt Ids powers expand;
saw tlie pntli to the goal cleared. It
l as nn effort to feign grief in tlie rep-etition
of the story to tearful Mrs. Wy-jy,
but ids acting was superb, and it
lifliced to excuse hasty retirement to
lie privacy of his room and the re-
|uest that no one should lie permitted
disturb him. Tiptoeing steps past
|ie locked door and underneath the
attained windows testified the respect
the household for ids sorrow.
| With hands unsteadied by tlie ex-eme
of exultation lie opened the small
Irass ribbed box of ebony in which the
paled envelope had lain since the day
bail received it from Horace and
fconiised to defend Estelle from harm,
^rawing his chair into the subdued

Ihich burst within him. An hour he
lit motionless except for the twltch-
Jgs of his countenance, like those of
anaesthetized patient under tlie sur-feon’s
knife. But one thought was de-led
in his dazed, congested mind, and
lat took the form of an Infinite, uialig-ant
curse upon the brother who
jwarted him even from his umllscov-lable
grave. Exhausted, weak as a
]iild coming out of a cataleptic spasm,
tottered across the room and fell

l-adual return of connected thought.

Intimentni girl with a weight of grat-

lidowhood or religious seclusion. The
lain animus was to bailie the suit

that his passion was unknown to

led against his life’s life? What was
le character of an olographic will?
[hat was his status without the will,

len it?
JHe dared not consult a lawyer. No

Ite Ills trust. Rising and borrowing
pength from a decanter of brandy, be

“Oh, Horace, you stupid American

leave in my hands this cursed instru-ment
of your ill will and expect me to
turn it upon myself—to commit suicide
with i|! You never understood me.
You never tried to understand me. It
Is too droll. Between me anil success
stands only tills flimsy barrier, erected
by a stolid mind, and away it vanishes
In smoke!”
He seized the will and struck a
match, when he was startled by a
sharp knock at his door.
Throwing away the match and
thrusting the will Into his pocket, he
demanded:
"Who Is there?”
"it is I," Mrs. Wyley answered. “A
letter 1ms been brought by a messen-ger,
who says an immediate answer is
required.”
He opened tlie door anil received the
following note:
Como to Dodo’s at once. Matters of importance
require consideration and action now.
<)UILLEBERT.
“Tell the messenger, please, that I
will come,” lie said to Mrs. Wyley, and
then to himself: ‘ l’erhaps this is for-tunate.
It may be well for me to
breathe fresh air and got back to tlie
uornial, possibly to consult Quillebert,
before taking steps which could never
lie retraced. He is an expert on all
matters of tills complexion.”
He was soon at tlie cabaret ntid sent-ed
In the rear room with Qullleliert.
“1 have news for you,” said the lat-ter.
“Tell it.”
“Tlie Latiolais girl wants to become
a nun.”
“She will forego that wish when 1
make her realize the consequences to
her grandfather.”
“Y’ou are still resolved on that?”
“More Inflexibly than ever.”
“Then I have other news.”
“Tell It.”
“l'our brother left a will.”
Evariste paled and exclaimed:
“Who says so?”
“Valsin Mouillot.”
“How does he know?”
“Your brother told him he had left
his will with you.”
A cold moisture bathed Evariste's
brow.
“Moreover, he made the same state-ment
to the priest Grlie the day before
lie went away. But neither of them
knows Its dispositions,” continued
Qulllebort. “The people will expect
you to produce it soon.”
“My Goil!” said Evariste, realizing
the futility of denying the existence of
the testament and his need of an ad-viser.
“Y'our summons came in the
nick of time to save me from ruin.”
“How so?” asked Quillebert.
“I was on the point of burning the
testament.”
“Why?”
“Because It divides the estate evenly
between Estelle and me.”
“Hone!” grunted Quillebert. “Maybe
that is an intimation of his wish that
she should marry with you.”
“No. It was intended to make her
his widow and fortify her against the
duress I meant to apply through old
Leonidas. She will never consent to
become my wife if that will goes Into
effect.”
“You are right,” Quillebert said after
a moment's thought. “Where Is the
document?”
“1 have it here,” replied Evariste.
“Let me see It,” Quillebert demand-ed.
The testament was exhibited. Quille-bert
read It slowly and deliberately
with half closed eyes and knit brows.
For an hour he labored thus.
proof that his genius was actively
working. Looking up without raising
his bead, he said:
“Who has seen this besides your-self?”
“No one but you.”
“Are you sure?”
"Yes. It has been locked In my desk
since Horace gave It to me, and the
key has never been out of my posses-sion."
“Hone!”
Quillebert stretched himself to a half
reclining position, thrust his hands
deep Into his pocket and, with his eyes
riveted upon the will, plunged Into a
cogitation so profound and apparently
so forceful that It seemed a bodily ac-tion
instead of an Intellectual ooera-tlon.
This silent function was pro-longed,
and Evariste became Impatient,
though he ilnreil uot disturb It. Sudden-ly
Quillebert rose, drew from Ills pock-et
a number of letters, and, tearing
from one a blank page of tldn French
made paper, lie took up the will, turned
the ke>v in the door and walked to the
•(ear end of the room, where a single
window let in tlie light from tlie west.
Finding pen and Ink on the wide man-tel,
he placed them on tlie window
ledge.
“What are you doing?" nsked Eva-riste.
“Stay where you are,” Quillebert re-plied.
He spread tlie will against the dirty
window pane, illumined by the almost
vertical rays of the evening sun. and
over It tlie page n! translucent paper.
With slow movement lie plieil the pen,
stopping at intervals to rest his hand
and wrist, anil for nn hour labored
thus, uttering never a word. Then,
emitting a satisfied snort, he removed
the two sheets from the glass and. lay-ing
them before Evariste, said:
“How does that strike youV”
Evariste was amazed nnil exclaimed
admiringly:
“Y'ou certainly are a master, Con-stant!”
“But you can Improve on that. Your
fingers nud wrist are more supple and
steady than mla*. Only take time and
be careful.” And Quillebert drew the
thin sheet toward him and lit a match.
“Don't do that. Give it to me,” Eva-riste
cried.
“No, no,” his companion answered,
with a sapient grin. “This is mine.
You have the suggestion." And. touch-ing
tlie (lame to it, he turned tlie burn-ing
paper with Ids fingers until every
part was converted to ashes, which lie
crumbled with ids hand and stirred
with those in tlie huge fireplace.
For many days Evariste remained on
tlie plantation. His reticence and
thoughtful mien were taken for sorrow-ing.
Much of lids time was spent in
his room. He aged visibly. The
poignancy of bis grief was attested.
A month litter, wearing on Ids Hat a
baud of I Jack, he sought audience of
Father Grlie, who received 1dm witli
courtesy, but not with warmth, briefly
•speaking the expected words of condo-lence.
“Father,” he said, "my dear, generous
brother left with me a sealed envelope
Instructing me to open it on learning of
his death. I have just done so and
found it to be his last will anil testa-ment
In the olographic form. Here it
is. Kindly read it nnd say whether
you recogn i lie band writing to be
entirely his. lor I know you linve often
seen Him write nud sign during ids life-time.”
He had got by rote the very
wording of the code’s formula.
The priest carefully studied the pa-per,
throwing now nml then a search-ing
glance upon tlie subdued coun-tenance
of ids visitor, nml said:
“Y'es, I recognize tlie writing to be
that of your brother.”
“You will so testify in court, father?”
“I must, If called.” His tone implied
reluctance.
“Y'ou were one of Ills closest nnd most
highly esteemed frierds and for that
reason, father, I deem it meet and de-sirable
that you should be one of the
witnesses to prove his testament.”
“Be it so,” said the good man, though
lie piously wished the request had not
been made.
Evariste now sought Noreau, the old
time clerk of court, P.nd, putting to
him the same Interrogatories, received
the like responses.
And in due course, on proof of hand-writing
delivered by Father Grhe and
Lucien Noreau nnd of death made by
Valsin Mouillot, the parish judge at-tached
his paraph nnd ordered to be
executed “in all Its parts anil particu-lars”
the following Instrument pro-pounded
by Evariste as the last will
and testament of Horace Oakfell:
PARISH OF AVOYELLES. LOUISIANA, May 6, 1861.
I, Horace Oakfell of “L’Esperance” plantation,
in the parish and state above written, of lawful age
and without forced heirs, being of sound health
both in mind and body, but knowing the cer-tainty
of death and the uncertainty of the time
thereof and especially having in view the peril*
of war, into which I am about to enter, do make
this my last will and testament in the olographic
form.
I give and bequeath unto my brother, Evariste
Oakfell, all my estate of whatsoever kind and
wheresoever situpted which 1 may possess at the
moment of my death.
I appoint my brother, Evariste Oakfell, sole ex-ecutor
of this testament and dispense him from
giving bond.
This testament has been dated, written and
signed by me on one sheet of paper at one writ-ing.
HORACE OAKFELL.
Receiving the letters testamentary
sealed with seal of the court, his war-rant
of dominion over all the Oakfell
fortune, Evariste proudly traversed the
parish, returning to “L’Esperance” as
its master.
“Ah, Horace,” to himself he said, “In
your narrow bed beneath the apple
trees do you dream ? Can you see your
mean craftiness made a stepping stone
to my will? Do you now believe that I
am fit for neither law nor politics? 0
wise Horace, do you not know that suc-cess
Is the only thing worth striving
for; that with it I rise in my own es-teem
and advance in the respect of my
fellow men? Do you not understand
the difference between your arrogant
daring and my patient courage? Have
you visions, sleeping hero? Behold this
one. The beautiful, melting Estelle is
no longer a virgin widow. Her sweet,
blushing face Is under the bridal veil.
Rouse yourself, dear brother, and be
present at the marriage fete.”
“I will,” said a voice, which froze his
blood and caused him to reel In his
saddle.
“I will send a squad with the corporal
to guard the cotton,” continued the
voice, and, looking around, he saw and
saluted two officers of the Union forces
passing behind him on the crossroad
to Coude de Francals.
