The Stolen Will.
When they told Ethan Van Wirt
that his days were naoibered, the
first thiDg he said to his attendant
was,
"Ser.d for Miss Work; I must see
Effie Work before I die."
Singular as the demand was, no
one thought of questioning it. Miss
Work was sent for.
Effie turned quite white when the
strange, imperative- summons nrst
came and she was told that he who
sent iiwa$ dying. .
Dying!" she whispered, her blue
eyes dimmed with tears.
"What can he want ? Shall you
go, Effie!" asked Pauline Ruble who
was visiting her.
"Oh, yes, yes. Poor old man ! I
.. . fl ... 1 X
am 60 sorrv lor mm : veriainiy x
will so."
But I am so frightened, Pauline,
I never saw any one die."
The pretty childish creature was
trembling from head to feet. Pau
line put her arm around the slim
figure and drew the golden hair
down upou her shoulder. She was
several inches taller than Effie, and
much handsomer in her own opinion.
Little fool !" she thought as she
caressed the pale facw with her white
hand. "Of course it is something
about Louis Van Wort." Aloud she
said insinuatingly, "I had better go
with you, dear. Don't you think so.
Oh, if you only would!" Effie
cried eagerly.
Mrs. Work was an invalid, and
could not accompany her daughter,
so she was glad to have Pauline go
with her. As the carriage drove off
with the two girls she sank back up
on her couch with a thoughtful look.
It must be something abou his
grandson. I do hope Effie won't be
silly."
The girli were shown at once 'nto
the sick man's room.
"I wish to see you alone, Effie, my
child," said he, with a frown toward
Pauline.
Til wait for you in the next room,
darling," said Pauline, and withdrew.
Mr. Louis lias come, sir," the ser
vant said as he was leaving the room
in obedience to an impatient gesture
from his master.
1 he night being warm, tne win
dows were open. The sick room and
the one next to it both looked out
upou a wide veranda, which ran
across the front of the house. It
was easy for Pauline to step out up
on this and go to the whidow of the
sick room.
"I want to know what he wants of
her, and she is such an obstinate chit
sometimes, she might nqt tell me."
I have sent for you Effie, to ask
you if you love my grandson,", the
dying man was saying.
Effie, poor child, was trembling so
tike could hardly stand.
('fw .In'ir T am HiTincr rr T n-nnl.l
not ask you this question. If I die
without a will my property falls, to
him as the natural heir; but the boy
has taken, to wrong courses lately.
He gambles, 1 hear. This is a taste
he inherits. It came near being my
ruin at this very age. But I prom
ised the woman I married that . I
never would touch cards again if she
would have me, and I never did.
My grandson loves you. In that is
my hope. . Am I wrong in thinking
you care for him f .
"Effie's lips opened, but she could
not utter a word.
If you love Louis, and promise
me that before you consent to mairy
him you will exact from him the same
pledge my wife did from me, he shall
be my heir. If not the money goes
away frcm him. I want your ans
wer, child. My lawyer waits to
make my will."
Effie burst into tears.
"I do love him, I will promise
anything. But what it he does not
care for me as you think ?"
"I know he does. All I ask of you
is your promise not to marry him
till he lias sworn he will never touch
cards again. Give me your band,
child, and say the words after me."
Effie obeyed him. More calmly
than might have been expected in
her nervous state. ,
"God bless you ! Yoxi have made
my last hours almost happy," be
said, as he let ner go.
As Effie quitted the room, sobbing
Pauline was about to join her, whn - she said, in her insinuating voice

she heard the sick man mutter ,
"I am not sure, after all, that a
will would not make everything
safer."
Then (m ordered the attendant to
go and bring Mr. ScHbe.
"Can he make a, will ?" wondered
Pauline. "I will wait and see."
To her amazement she heard the
sick man dictating a will to bis law
yer, in which he left everything he
possessed to Effie, absolutely. Mr.
Scribe remonstrated, but it was of
no use, .
"I know what I am about," the old
man said, and would her nothing.
The will duly sealed and witnessed,
he told the lawyer to put it in his
desk, which stood within view
"Is it safe here?" Mr. Scribe asked,
"I do not see any key."
"Who would touch it? It would
benefit no one but the Van Wil ts,
and they are not thieves, whatever
else they may be. Bsside", I may
want to destroy it yet. Go now,
please, and tell them to send Louis to
me."
On going to seek Effie, Pauline
found her so nervous and ill that the
housekeeper had made her lie down,
and was now sitting with her. Pau
line took the housekeeper's place
by her friend's bedside", and in a
short time Effie fell asleep. As she
sat there watching the white face of
the girl she pretended to love, her
mind was filled with vicked and en
vious thoughts. Why must Effie
who was rich already, have the Van
Wirt property ? And then she en
vied her the handsome lover, with
whom she was herself half in love.
"But if course he will have to
marry her now," she thought bitterly.
Suddenly the silence was broken
by the sound of some commotion in
the house. She sat and listened a
few moments. Then she arose,- and
gliding down stairs, slipped through
the open door and passed swiftly
along the veranda until she came to
the window where she had listened
before. One glance at the bed told
her that all was over. A sudden
fear seized her. She was about to
flee the spot, when her eyes fell up
on the desk iu which she had seen the
will placed.
"I wonder if it is there yet ?" she
thought.
No one was in the room, but the
door was onen and she could hear
voices.
"I am sure I can reach it from here.
I should know it at a glance," she
mused.
An evil thought crossed her mind.
what if she took it? The lawyer
would think Mr. Van Wirt had de
stroyed it; ai-d besides, that will in
her hands might help her to win
Louis after all. At the thought she
snatched the document, and hiding
it in the folds of her dress, softly
traced her steps to the room in which
her friend still slept.
Ethan Van Wirt had been dead
about a month, and the grandson
had taken possession of his . estate.
Thtre were rumors about a will, but
when it could not be found, Mr.
Scribe concluded that the old man
had destroyed it, and he refused to
tell who was mentioned in it.
Pauline was still yisiting Effie
though her welcome had grown
somewhat cold, both on Effie's and
her mother's part, Louis Van Wirt
came to their house as often as for
merly, but it was apparently to see
Pauline. He soarcely spoke to Effie
except in the most formal manner
and though the gentle girl strove to
feel the same toward her false friend
she could not quite.
There was a certain rejected suitor
of Effie's, Robert Lester, whom she
had never liked, but who, in spite of
her-coldness, seemed to be always
beside her now, and more than once
she had fancied that Pauline had
contrived to fasten him upon her for
the evening.
"I must bring matters to a crisis
soon," thought Paulino one n'ght, as
she wreathed her face with smiles
and pretended not' to perceive Mrs.
Work's coldness toward her.
Presently, when Louis called, she
was watching him, and drew him at
once into the garden.
"I want' to tell you something,"
"and beside, Effie and her lover are
so happy in there by themselves, it
would be a pity to disturb them."
The young man-'s handsome face
urned quite pale.
"Has she consented to'marry him
at last, then?" he asked, bitterly.
"Of course; I told you she would.
He is such a very moral young man,
and dear Effie is so strict in all her
deas. I know if she thought he had
ever touched a card she would not
have him now.?'
Louis winced. , .
"Do you know to whom ; your
grandfather left his money in that
will that has never been found ?"
'I do not,"
"I can tell you
"You !"
Pauline smiled. .
"He left everything to Fffie.';
"Impossible!" he said, yet Jooking
at her uneasily.
'How do "ru know ?'' jffk
'Never 4d, 1 do., know. TMore-
over. that "ill is-in existence.
Again He looked St 'her uneasily.
"I kntiw where it.is."
"Would you like to see it ?" slip
ping her hand into her pfbeket
"Yes."
"How shall you like to see Effie
and Robert liv ing at Van Wirt
House ?"
Louis ground his teeth with rage.
That decided the bold, false girl.
Louis Van Wirt, it that will could
be put in your possession to do what
you like with it, would you marry a
woman who loves you better than
Effie ever could ?"
She felt hi riT' start as she leaned
upon his arm, and "heT bandj tighten
ed upon the will in her pocket.
His answer came after some mo
ments, but in a voice so husky and
changed she would scarcely have
known it.
"I would." ,
Trembling with joy she "drew out
the paper and he took it, looked at it
a moment, and thrusting it into his
pocket, began to go swiftly toward
the house. An awful misgiving
seized Pauline as she tried to keep
up with him. . ...
"What are you going to do?"
"You shall see," he answered
steruly, and there was a hard look in
his eyes.
"What a fool I was!" she muttered,
and made one effort more.
"Effie and Lester won't thank you
or interrupting them
No answer, as he walked on and
entered the drawing room , through
one of the open French windows.
Effie sat there with her mother. No
one else was in the room. He laid
the will on her lap.
"I find, he said hurriedly and in
a shaken tone of voice, "that my
grandfather left his money to you.
There is the will that bas been miss
ing so long. I hope, Effie, that you
will be a great deal . happier as the
wife of Mr. Lester than mine. But
he cannot love you any better than . I
do," .
Effie was white arid speechless
with bewilderment.
Effie detests Robert Lester," said
Mrs. Work, taking in the situation
at once. She haB never cared for
any one but you, Louis, and you
ought to know it."
"O, my darling, ejaculated Louis
wildlv. extending his arms, "is it
true?"
In another instant Effie was sob
bing on his shoulder;
Pauline went to bet room an
spent the rest of.the night in pack
ing.
When, the next morning, she an
nounced her intention of going away
no one objected
Louis looked a trifle embarrassed
when i&tbe told him ot the promise
she had made his grandfather the
night he died.
"I don't think I am in danger of
being a gambler, but I am williug to
pledge myself never to play again."
"Thauk yon, my love my lover.

if hecou!d stand before it, held by

sentiment against it. It is time
enough for these bantams to think of
finding a pullet when they have rais

work real spry; and before they are'
awar of the sanctity of the marriage
relations they are hitched for life; and:
before they own a co'oft-stove or 4"

mental origin and a moral kind.
When craziness is universal we may npi
