It was then that Mr Skaggs, practically child less, determined to make himself wife less as well. Il<* ningnanlmoiisly deeded the uu entailed farm to his wife, turned his sis'iirltles Into cash nnd then set forth u | hiii a voyage of exploration. It Is common history that upon one dark, still night In December be said goodby forever to the farm and Its mistress, but It Is doubtful If either of them heard him. To be "Jolly well even” with him Mrs Skaggs did a most priggish thing She died »lx months Ister. but before doing so she made a will In which she left the entire estnto to her daughter, effectually depriving the absent bus band of any chance to reclaim bls own. Taswell Skaggs w»s In Shanghai when he beard the news, it was on a Friday. His Informant was that erst while friend Jack Wyckholme.
