Laking, with inoreMed vn- W« do sol sapiMM thai any of OB the death of Col. Laking, no one ' ^ was more surprised At his not having -f left a will than Mr. Alfred Laking, his nephew and heir-at-law. That geatle- ^ v» man had the best reasons for kn >wing " that his nncle was not well disposed toward him--in fact the Colonel had refused to have anything to do with him for some years past. The truth was that Alfred Laking had once been .J guilty of an act of meanness, wh'ch his V nncle never forgave, and therefore the fortunate heir had not expected to ben- ,e cfit by his uncle's death. But even out siders, who knew nothing of the cause of the estrangement between the Colonel J ®nd his nephew, were amazed at the old "7 gentleman dying intestate. He had so frequently expressed his determination ** of preventing his nSphew From succeed ing to his property and had m ido so many wills at different times with that : object that his intestacy cau-ed univer- ?'* sal astonishment. It was ' generally supposed that his somewhat sudden death had frns rated his testamentary ' intentions, or else that, at the lust rao- ;T ment, he had realized the force of the 7 old adage that blood is thicker than ^ water, and had been content to permit , his nephew to inherit in the ordinary course of law. But while Mr. Alfred Laking received the congratulations of his friends with v equanimity, and apparently acquiesced , in the general opinion that he was a very lucky individual, he did not by any means ieel secure of his inheritance. His na oral cunning and his mean, sus picious n<n nre suggested the idea that his uncle had not iai ed to take due pre cautions to guard against the contin gency which had happened. He did not believe for an instant that the old man's feelings had softened toward him in his last moments; any sentiment approaching magnanimity being beyond , the narrow limits of hi* moril percep tions. In his heart of hearts he felt convinced that there was a will in exist ence, and that he owed his inherit ince to-the accidental circumstance of the document having been mislaid or over looked. But, though this foreboding pomessed him so strongly that it amounted al most to a moral certainty, he took no steps to verify his suspicions. On the contrary, he carefully refrained from doing anything of the kind. He did, indeed, stealthily and in secret scru tinize his uncle's papers, destroying all ^ ^ those which contained suspicious mem- * 7 oranda. But he omitted to take the ol>- % vious course of advertising in the news- - papers or applying to the various legal * gentlemen whose services--to his knowl- * ,i --his uncle had from time to time tj employed. He thought it possible-- *'* prolxible, in fact--that one of these . *• might be in poeeession of a will; but he ' could never summon courage to ask. He kept the fact of the old man's death as quiet as possible, not even announcing ; * the event in the daily paper*. He em- plffyed a strange solicitor to perform the legal work connected with the ad- ministration of the estate, and, in short, endeavored to avoid publicity in every *' wav. •» *1. I the first few months after his ;'•« uncle's death he was perpetually haunt- ' ed by the dread that his elaborate pre- « can^loos wcrald be thrown away; out 7 '"'hen a year had passed he began to s « breathe more freely. The chances » were, he thought, that, if a will existed, it would have turned up by this tiuio, or else it would probably rot away in its hiding place. Thus by degrees the phantom conjured up by hia pusillan imous imagination became less appall- * - ing, until one day his anxiety was re vived by a very ominous incident. % A shabbily-dressed, middle-aged ««•. called upon him, and said he had an important communication to make. He gave the name of Crumber, and Alfred Laking then recollected that he was a clerk in the office of the solicitor whom he had employed to wind up his ancle's estate. This circumstance seemed re assuring, for Alfred Laking naturally supposed the man had been sent with some message from his master relating to business matters. "I presume ]fr. eall?" he said 'I suppose we ARE quite alooe^ sir, and cannot be overheard ?* said the man, mysteriously. "Yon can speak out, thongh I cannot imagine what you can have to say tliat is so important," returned Mr. Laking, glancing to see that the door was closed. "When I left Mr. Baker's office I took a situation with another solicitor," said Cruml>er, lowering hia voice. "The gentleman I am now with is Mr. Mayne, of Lincoln's Innfields. I don't know whether you ever heard of him, sir." Alfred Laking started and turned deadly pale. He happe Ned to know that his uncle had consulted this gen tleman professionally at a compara tively recent date, and he therefore in stinctively guessed the nature of the revelation in store for him. "No! I never heard of Mr. Mayne, and I don't believe my uncle did," he replied, almost fiercely. "Well, sir, you see your uncle did. not always consult you about his affairs," returned Mr. Crumber, rather disre spectfully. "At any rate, he knew Mr. Mayne, who prepared a will for him shortly before he died." "How do you know?" demanded Al fred Laking, too startled to conceal his agitation. "Because I've seen it. I've not only seen it, but I've read it. Your name isn't mentioned in that will, Mr. Laking," said the man, with a grin. "A very fine story," said Alfred Laking, with a forced laugh. "Pray, how is it that Mr. Mayne has never written to inform me of the alleged will?" "Because, in the first place, I doubt if h is aware of the Colonel's death; but, if he is, he has probably forgotten that the Colonel left lus will with him, for his memory isn't what it was," said Mr. Crumber, growing more familiar in his manner as he remarked Alfred Lakinsr's whi. e lips and agitated demeanor. "By pome omission, the will is not indexed in the schedule of the contents of tire strong room. I came across it quite accidentally while searching for some thing else. Knowing the name of the testator and all the circs, the will at tracted my attention. Otherwise, it would probably have remained undia- turbe I for years." " 1 hen do you mean to say that Mr. Mayne is unaware of the existence of the will ?" sa d Alfred Laking, with in voluntary eagerness. "I believe every one in the offioe has forgotten it. I might purloin th it will from the safe to-morrow and no one would be the wiser," returned Crumber, impressively. It was impossible to ignore the insid ious purpose of the man's visit. Evi dently he was an unscrupulous scoun drel, who desired to tur i the discovery he had made to account. Alfred Lak ing looked at him with newly-awakened curiosity, and was by no means favora bly impressed with his appearance. The man had a forbidding expression, and it suddenly occurred to Mr. Laking that this was an impudent attempt to extort money bv false pretenses. "I don't believe a word of what you say," he cried, suddenly rising from his seat and confronting the unwelcome -!-M. Utf - A Z -A i-V -i ^wiwr. jtpur owr/ u» a iissue ui rauw* | hoods." "I was afraid you might think so, sir, so I ventured to bring the will with me," said the ma-> slyly. "What 1 you have actually stolen it?" cried Alfred Laking.< "I h ive it here, anyway," returned Crumber, coolly, as he produced a doc ument from his pocket. "I can put it ba< k where I took it from within an hour. Of course, it is no earthly use to me." "Let me see it," said Alfred Laking, in a hoarse voice, seating himself in his chair again. Mr. Crumber unfolded the document and glanced at it, apparently reflecting whether it would be wise to part with it. But after a pause he laid it on the desk, saying: "I'm treating you like a gentleman, sir. You must promise to return it to me." "Yes, y' s," said Alfred Laking,stretch ing out his hand impatiently. Some moments elapsed before the ag itated gentlemen could compose himself sufficiently to take in the contents of the will. He first turned to the final page, which bore the signature of the testator and the attesting witnesses. So far as he could judge the signa tures were genuine, and the document had evidently been prepared several months ago, the edges of the paper being discolored and the ink faded. It was dated a few weeks before Col. Lak- ing's death, and was, therefore, in all probability the last will he had made. When he came to read it carefully, Alfred Laking's lingering hope that the document might be a forgery was quickly dispelled. From internal evi dence it was undoubtedly genuine, the names of various persons and places being mentioned which no stranger could have fabricated. The Colonel appeared to have left his property to some distant relatives, subject to a few charitable bequests. The nephew's name was not mentioned, and an old military friend was appointed exec utor. Mr. Alfred Laking read the will over two or three times, keeping his face concealed from Mr. Crumber, who man ifested a good deal of impatience. At length he roused himself from his un pleasant reflections, folded up the fatal document, and fixed a half-frightened, half-defiant gaze upon his visitor. "What do you propose to do with this ?" he inquired nervously. "Well, s r, that depends upon you," replied Crumber. " If you advise me to put it back and remind the governor of it, well and good." But Alfred Lakiug did not hasten to advise this straightforward course. He kept silent for a long time, fidgeting with the document he held in his hand, and at length Crum1>er spoke. "You se», sir, nobody knows of the exi-ttenoe of the will buf. you and me. Supposing we were to throw it on the fire yonder, who would be the wiser?" "How dare you suggest such a thing?" cried Alfred Laking, with a show of virtnous indignation. "It would be a crimin.il offense." "I suppose you wouldn't split on me, sir, if I was to do it," suggested Crumber, speaking almost in a whisper. "The fact is, sir, I'm thinking of emi grating. I don't mind the risk. Give me £1,000 and the trick is done." The indignant expression had died out of Alfred Laking's face, leaving it whiter than ever, and he gaxei. at his companion with » kind of terrified shrank from being a party to a de liberate tend, for fear of the conse quences, and he was rather staggered by the large amount which Mr. Crumber demanded for his services. Yet, when he reflected that he would lose his whole fortune if the will should be discovered, and also that Crumber might be tempted--if he refused to ac cept his terms--to sell his. secret to other interested parties, he resolved to close with him at once. It was a sudden determination, taken half in desperation and half from sheer fright. The will was destroyed, and early the next morning Mr. Crumber started for America from Liverpool, with £1,000 in gold in his pocket. Alfred Laking went and saw him off, having, in fact, declined to hand ever the money until he was safely on board ship. Upon his return to London, feel ing, in spite of HIS misgivings, more re lieved and light-hearted than he had done since his uncle's death, his exuber ant spirits received a sudden check in oonsequenoe of the isceipt of a letter from Mr. Mayne, which ran thus: LTNCOI N'H-IHN-Fikijjs. SIR--I formerly acted professionally for your late i n le. I ol Liking, and shall be glad if you w.ll give me a i ail at your earli est coriven ence on a matter of import noe. Your? fsiithtuliy, J MO. D. MAYNE. This communication gave him a great shock, for it naturally occurred to him at once that this "matter of great im portance" referred to his uncle's will. If the document had already been missed, immediate steps ° would of course be taken to recover it, which might lead to the arrest of Crumber, and even result in his own apprehension on a criminal charge. The bare notion of such a 'calamity brought Iteads of perspiration to h's brow, nnd his first impulse was to flee the country. Bat upon second thoughts he aban doned the idea. Even supposing Crum ber should be suspected of having de stroyed the will, there was no proof. The man would deny the charge for his own sake, beside which he was Out of the country. UT on the whole, Alfred. Caking thought the wisest course would be to face the matter out; and, much as he would have preferred to avoid an in terview with the lawyer, he determined to call upon him without delay.; Accordingly he presented himself at Mayne's office the morning after re ceiving the letter, looking very pale and nervous, though making every effort to app ar at ease. "I wrote to you, Mr. Laking," said the old lawyer, when they had ex changed greetings, "because I have rea son to believe that you have received a communication from a man named Crumlier." "No," murmured Alfred Laking. His answer appeared to cause Mr. Mayne some surprise, for the old gen tleman stared at him through his spec tacles for a second or two, and then said, rather sharply: " Name of Crumber. The man was a clerk in my office until recently." " Certainly not," repeated Alfred Lakiug. He intended his replv? to be bold and emphatic, but the attempt was a miserable failure. There was a qua ver in his voice, and his eyes instinct ively sought the carpet. "A-hem!" coughed Mr. Mayne, in an nnr>t«asantlv si<rn;iieant m inner. "The fact is," he resumed, " yonr uncle made a will shortly before he died, which he left in my charge, but a few days later li» calieu ami revoked it. Ho gSfe £5 his reason that he did not wish his ani mostty against yon to continue after hia death." H You don't say that!" exclaimed Al fred Laking, with a start of genuine surprise. " He revoked the will by tearing off the signatures on the last page," con tinued the lawyer, still looking his vis itor in the faoe, "and the mutilated document being, of course, mere waste paper, was tied to the draft and put away in in old press. This man Crum- IKJ. , SVNONI 1 discharged a few weeks age for dishonesty, seems to HFTVC purloined the mutilated document, and, thinking he might meditate attempting to impose U|»on you, I conceived it to be uiy duty to warn you. He might, for instance, liuve restored the last page by means of forgery, and passed off the will upon you as valid and subsisting." " The infernal scoundrel! " cried Al fred Laking, violently, forgetting his cfiw'ion, w heu he thought Of his thou sand pounds. " Yes, I'm afraid he is that," said the lawyer dryly. "So you see, Mr. Laking, it was kindness thrown away upon your part to take the trouble to send him off from Liverpool yesterdoy. I wish you a good moruing, sir."

THE Minnc in whieh THEN is a young child, will REQUIRE ua to MW to the fact that babies cry. It LA positively certain that they do cry, 1ML wily they cry iMrttl- ways bean *n unfathomed mystcocy, al though all manner of oonjectures have been made. When the little cherubs screw their faces up into a knot, pre paratory to setting Hp a howl, and con vulsively work their legs after the man ner of an insane jumping-jack, the gen eral opinion is that colic is furnishing the motive power. On other occasions the person of the infant is searched for a concealed we tpon in the shape of a pin. Our own opinion, founded on a great deal of actual experience, is that babies cry because they have lungs. It must be admitted that if they had no lungs their vocal solos would not have quite as much compass. What is really needed is the discovery of a prooess whereby the lungs of an infant can be removed without danger, only to be re placed when the infant has arrived at an age when it can comprehend the enormity of the crime of keeping peo ple awake at night by prolonged shrieks. It is a popular impression that a baby cries just to hear itself cry, as it seems to have no other object, but this idea is knocked in the he .d by a German doc tor, who, having given the matter his closest attention, insists that, until they are several months old, all infants are deaf. If this be really a fact, it is dis tressing to think of the amount of " woot- sy tootsy" talk that has been squandered on infants since the first infant was born. Hereafter, when fond parents want to converse with the new-y ar rived addition, it will have to be through an ear trumpet, since nature has neg lected to supply infants with them at their birth. At !>ny rate, the idea that babies cry jut-t to hqar themselves cry is pretty eftectually : exploded.--Texas Si/tings, . BAYS the Brooklyn Engle: Mr. R. C. Moore, of Messrs.

Judge Davis used to tell some admir able stories of an old Illinois Judge one of which we chance particularly to remember. One of the Judges was rather remarkable fbr conveying to jurors, in his charges to them, his own opinions in regard to the merits of the case. In one case he had done so with great plainness, but, to his amazement the jury liuug out for hours without coming to an agreement. The Judge inqnired of the bailiff what was the matter, and learned from him that one juror was hanging out against the other eleven. He sent for the jury at once and, stating to the jurors that he had plainly intimated how the case ought to be decided, said he understood one juror was standing out against the other eleven. He proceeded to rebuke the juror sharply. The obstinate juror was a nervous little m >n, and, as soon as the Judge was done, he arose and said, "Judge, may I say a word?" "Yes, sir," said the indignant Jndge; "what have you to say V" "Well, what I wanted to say is, I am the only feller what's on your hide."--Peck's Sun. THE art connoisseur and exhibitor, Prof. Cromwell, was cured of rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil.--Norfolk Ftr^inim. , An IBU^BML About twenty years ago, some distin guished scholars in England decided to begin making a great dictionary of the English language. The project was so immense that little headway was made until 1876. At that time Dr. Murray, a noted Englishman, was appointed editor of the work, and nearly two tons of books were turned over to him to be read. Since 1879 nearly 1,000 scholars have been reading other dictionaries, books, old pamphlets, old manuscript and old letters, and making notes of the true meaning of certain words. So far, the editor has received about 361,- 000 slips from the readers. The editor Classifies and compares these slips, each passing through the hands of four thorough linguists. The editor's work shop is in his garden. It is a building made entirely of iron, so that it cannot burn, and is fitted up with over 1,000 pigeon-holes. The dictionary will be very complete, and will be more than four times the size of Webster's un- abridged.
