A SOCIETY BKAMA.
Gladys e Moamareacy's Karraw

"So, Count, you desire to marry
mv daughter?" j
These words came froin the lips of
Reginald de Montmorency, the mill
ionaire banker, as he stood in the
sumptuously furnished parlor of his
mansion on G street, facing a distin
guished gentleman of foreign appear
ance. The latter fervently replied:
"Yes, yes I do?"
"I'll let you know my decision to
morrow; by the way, Count, my
daughter and myself hive arranged
for a little supper t Onnsby's cafe
this evening. Will you join us?"
'With pleasure."
11
Gladys de Montmorency reclined
on an excellent upholstered ottoman,
in a boudoir the furnishings of which
must have cost a great deal of money.
There was a far-away look in her
eye; there was a far-away look in her
other eye.
She was thinking of one who was
dearer to her than life She waj
thinking of the splendid Count liol
ogni, with his lustrous Italian eyes,
and of th ; excellent chewing gum he
had given her.
She was summoned to the library
where her father, he opulent bauker
stroked her silken hair and said:
"Gladys, the Count has asked tor
your ham!.".
"That's bushiest; father, there are
no Hies on the Count.
"Are you sure, my daughter, that
he is your kind of people.
"Dead sure."
"Because, my child." and his voice
grew tremulous with emotion, "be'
ct'isc I fear me much that he is not a
count at all. Methinks that when
was erstwhile at Omaha I saw him as
a waiter in a restaurant. My child,
oh, my child! These gray hairs would
indeed go in sorrow to the grave
this old heart would be rended in
twain if I were to see you iu the
soup."
ihe lovely girl s breath came in
gasps. She twined her beautiful arms
about his neck and whispered.
"What are we going to do about it,
"Hearken," her father replied: '
Lave a scheme No. 207, series D.
We'll take supper with him this eve
ning and I'll put him to a crucial
test. Until then let ns abiJe iu
peace. Kiss me again, my angelic
child."
iu
Myriads of lights were gleaming in
Ormsley s magmncent cafe when Mr,
de Montmorency entered with Gladys
on his arm. qutenly in her beauty and
grace.
The count was already there, and
the three sat down to a table together
"What ho. waiter! Come hither!"
This stern command from Mr. de
Montmorency was instantly obeyed.
The waiter came to the table.
Gladys could feel the color leave
her cheeks.
She knew that the moment for the
sreat test was come.
Even the. stern lips of her father
quivered, and the cold respiration
was on his brow as be said:
"Count, my daughter and I only
care for a steak and cup oi couee.
Will vou order for ns?"
Tbe count rose from his chair, and
his ringing voice coald be heard
throughout the vast room as !m said
"Slaughter in the pan aod draw
: .v. ,i.-u
Reader, there is but little more to
add.
Crashed and broken Gladya retired
to a conveut to end her life in quiet
and solitude.
The count left for his native coun
try on foot, but a haystack in which
hu n lAninT one night took fire
and he perished in the flames.

The Hkrami's Special Dispatch.!
Poktlam), April 0. The will of
the late Mrs. Estiit-r Holladay,
widow of Beii lloiladuy, was filed
for probate in the county court tins
M.U'iiiUiif Utie document was
signed by the deceased on the 20th
of October, 1887, and wtnesed by
John 11. Mitchell anJ James
O'Meara. The text oi the will is
substantially as follows: "I de
sire that my body shall receive de
cent burial, and that my last lest
ing place be marked by a stone
suited to my station in life. I give
and bequeath all my estate and
effects unto my personal .riend,
General Rufus Ingalls, upon truk,
or the benefit of my two dear be
loved children, Benjamin Camp
bell Holladay and Linda Holladay,
share and share alike. All monies
or real estate accruing from the
sale of any pait of said estate shall
be paid over to the guardian, of my
children. I hereby nominate my
personal friend General Kufus In
galls sole executor of my last will.
I also appoint General Rufus In
galls guardian of the persons and
estates of my two children, with
full power to manage and control
their peibons and estates until they
attain the age of 21 years respect
ively. And in the event of General
Ingulls' death, refusal or incapaci
ty to act as smli guardian, then it
is my will that James Steele Esq.,
shali assuuie such responsibility."
The w ill is a very ponderous docu
ment, but the above is the gist of
it. The nomination of Gen. In
galls as executor of the estate will
most likely act on Joe Holladay as
a red shawl shaken into his face.
The two men have been at swords
points fur a long time, and the liti
gation oyer the Holladay estate is
almost coincident with a contest.

"At tbe request of many pertana

t is, as you see, tram General
