The will of Edward C. Knight, the
sngar refiner, has been admitted to pro
bate by Begister of Wills Shields and
is a somewhat peculiar instrument.
It makes no bequests to the heus of the
testator, providing only for the appoint
ment of the executors of the estate. The
large property will therefore be divided
according to the intestate laws. The
exact valne of the estate cannot be
known until an inventory is taken, hot
it is estimated to be worth nearly fa.OOO,'

cedent, Anna M. Knight and Edward C
Knight, Jr., are named as the executors.
So disposition is made of the beaatifnl

niScanUy.
Barbara flushed as she left the room
to get her cloak and bonnet and set out
for home. She was the music mistress
ia Mrs. Stewart's school, and had been
one of the most promising pantls in it
before that; she was almost alone in the
world, except for a distant aunt with
whom she lived, and after school days
ended it became necessary that she
should do something toward keeping op

gtaa wnea Airs. Stewart s proposal to
retain iter for the younger girls' music
lessons saved her from applying to
strangera.
Still, notwithstanding her obligations.
there were times when Barbara felt
strongly disposed to protest against that
iady authority, which was pretty much
as it had been ia the days when she was
"quite a child," as Barbara often phrurd
it to herself. "She never seems to re
member that 1 am grown up and able to
manage my own affam. It does not
follow that because I was her pupil once
she has any right to interfere in the mat
ter now."
- bhe was marching down the road, her
bead well ap. while she argued the mat
ter out to her own satisfaction, when
someone quietly fell into step behind
her. The shadow vanished from her
brow like morning mist a she looked
"P-
hat are you in each a hurry for?
I could scarcely keep yoo in sight," in
quired the newcomer.
It was the subject of Mrs. Stewart's
admonition, her drawing master clever

Tea day later came the much looked

away altogether- It makes ooe feel un

Poor Barbara felt more unsettled still
befure she reached home. It was a lovely
summer evening, and fifty yards farther
oa she was joined by another cavalier,
John Urant this time. She shrank back
at first, half afraid of some jesting re
mark about the legacy, but she soon dis
covered that be had quite forgotten the
matter. There was something eh on

thought of such a thing at least, not ia

marks of Mrs. Stewart's. -Besidea,

Only Mr. Lawrence was to the fore with
his sympathetic inquiries, but in some
mysterious way Barbara began to find
them irritating rather than fiatteruue.
She got tired of giving the same re
sponse, "Nothing yet." and of bearing
tne same poute remarks about his con
cern and adniiration of her. They did
not go aeep enough.

was setting out for Mrs. Stewart's, she

Travelers to the see coast of southern
New Jersey from Philadelphia cannot
have failed to notice the bright patches
of orange colored flowers which so de
light the eye as the train passes through
the meadows. It is the Asclepiaa tube
rose, ooe of the milkweed family and
one of the most easily transplanted
plants there ia. It has fleshy roots,
which penetrate to a great depth, mak
ing it suitable for rather dry place.
rortbermore, these roots, when
broken to pieces, form new plaata, so
that a large number of plant ran easily

tTpoa the east side of North Seventh

strikingly curious tree, which attracts
the attention of every passerbr. It

dozens of people come to them every
week and make remarks, or ask ques
tions about the strange growth. From
the thickness of the trunk at the base
the tree is probably aboat forty years
Id, but its branches and foliage are new
tnd fresh and look as though they were
but the growth of a year or two. The
hunk runs straight from the grounl to
a height of about fifteen feet.
Above this for a short distance is a
thick globular mass of foliage, the leaves
appearing to grow directly out of the
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks or stamps, six or
eight feet high, also covered with a
dense, close mass of foliage. When the
tree i "viewed from the north side it
present a startling resemblance to a
giant human hand prutiotlui ; from the
earth. The three big stamps at the top
represent the three middle fingers.-and
apon either side of these can easily be
seen configurations of the urroondtng
foliage which correspond to the little
finger and thumb. . : ''

a curious one. The tree was once full '
