people said that hie practice hat firet retired from luni but his age and in nines alone they had no IB from active Hi in a cellar o which of hia perhaps the origin ol the gout Inch wj ulllicted but IIH ui rt luxurious und self in- t i other respects alao He was an art pillion of v ven anil criminating type were valued at pounds and his col lection of was less he vs us tin not to say igy with Ins and he had never seen known to give uvv iv a sixpence in his lift In act old Barki r was thoroughly ill old curmudgeon whose cl lie temper was y a sort of s humor which caused urn to bt awesome respect flu ii nicked hill nld squint or cast la one of Inn and he In- m isl trenchant is defective optie in n us to eon lus victimas dis HH Charles hud noticed this tin peculiarity for next to tbe old man's crushed downtrodden who retained his post only from lie hope of a young man was he subject of the Q C s cr lelest fins It must not be imagined from that ess or self respect On the contrary he was a verv spirited young fellow and Ins was one of the main causes of lus displeasure But niter when ne is heir presumptive to a hundred isand was considered be most moderate of the old nan s wealth it is sheer a little patience und self control oigne was by no means averse to the of a life of cast and luxury in the ear future and in view of this agreeable he Look things verv easily at lie bar though ho suffered Irom occas onal misgivings of conscience on account I his ho hid brains enough o see that he was wasting his ZB It ho only could have felt reasonably ure of his uncle's testamentary intentions him Ins conscientious rould have troubled him very little But he old man delighted to perplex him by hints and threats and con- reminded him that he had a ousin tbe wife of a country parson whose wore equal in point of kinship to is own It was true that this young adv had mortally offended old Barker by Harrying without hia consent but this light not have prevented him from ng a will In her favor Gascoigne was oo high minded and generous to feel any agamet hu cousin on this ount and he would perfectly Battened to know that he would inherit qually with her But what perpetually worried him was the irritating suspense itb which his uncle seemed purposely A inflict and there were moments when e felt strongly inclined to sacrifice his ure prospects for the object of giving the Id gentleman a piece of bia mind One eventful morning Gascoigne called t his uncle chambers and was ushered nto the old man's s gloomy full of artistic treasures but obnoxious to tbe dutiful nephew y associations with its rightful owner It waa tenantless however at tbe moment IB uncle's armchair drawn up n front of the blazing had evidently ust been vacated an adjacent able stood a japanned tin box inscribed with the old man's name in white letters Gascoigne stood for a few moments ou the gazing around him id wondering what sort of a welcome he would receive when his attention was at- by the edgo of a piece of paper Inch protruded from beneath the edge f the tin box Absently and acting upon mere idle impulse he stepped forward nd endeavored to force back the paper nto the box Not succeeding at bis first he put out his other hand m rder to ease the pressure of -o his surprise it yielded to his touch and e then perceived for the first time that je box was unlocked Up to tbat time nothing had been ner from his thoughts than to play the py m fact he had scarcely been con- scious of w hat he was doing Nor indeed vcu when the uplifted lid revealed tbe Contents of the bos confuted ol a umber of documents neatly ic experience the least sensation ol cur only But as he was ng the lid again after releasing tbat fatal nece of paper htu eye was caught by a prominent inscription VV ILL or WILLIAM Q 0 Without making excuses for the young man's next action it should at least be re- corded that it was entirely ed There to hia hand lay the solution to all hia doubts and difficulties K he was bin uncle's heir well and good bJa present negligent mode of life need ble him no more But if he had only been left an and Ins some other tined to inherit the then it be- hooved linn at once to set about making up for lost time by applying himself to his profession This ion passed like a flash Gascoigne's mind and made the opportunity for en- so irresistible Unit be seemed to rush upon temptation i otter than yield to it One of anxious listening during u Inch the only sound he heard was tin beating of his heart and then he had seized the momentous document and was eagerly scanning its contents brief it was m luckily in Ins uncle's crabbed handwriting and coigne was compelled to carry it away from the box a little to the light A hasty glance wan sufficient to convey to bis trained mind its full A pal legacy to the long suffering valer a picture or two to himself all the rest of the contents of the chambers with the cash at the bank to the niece Mrs and the residue to my nephew Chai les Grant whom t appoint sole of my will Cascoigne gasped as he read the con- words winch meant that ho was absolutely heir to bis s vast wealth He was glad on his cousin's account too for the art bequeathed to her were of considerable Millie Hut to know that he himself w s the cally the of the remainder of the old man's was a lation which liis pulses to thrill with excitement and the sunlight dazzling Perhaps because he was momentarily away by the able ment of the discovery die min's vigilance was relaxed or old Barker intentionally burst in upon him unawares At all events without a ment's warning while still held the will in his hand the door of the room was opened and had time to put the document into the side of his coat before his uncle with ml on and muffled up for going out stood before him growled the old mm ng in tin sunlight so are Yes Gascoigne tremu didn t rs tell He tells me the lazy grumbled old Barker ling m and giving his nephew u distorted orfinger to shake it do you I called to 1 was sorry to hear have been so unwell paid hanking bis stars that he had not left the id of the tin box open but you are disappointed ou see I'm nearly all right again I was just going out snarled his to the tin box un he spoke H heart stood still as the old aan lifted the lid of the box He remembered that be had left it un and the action was evidently de- to assure himself of the fact He ad laid a trap for his nephew and ed the room abruptly with tbe idea that e would find him prying Such a ect would not have been foreign to the Id disposition and trembled lest his uncle might open he box But apparently tins suspicion was groundless or else Gascoigne e posi on at the window hod been suggestive of At all events old Barker to lug out Ins from his pocket and locked up the box with a shakey hand Can I do that for you d Gascoigne prompted by a wild hope f being able to slip in the 1 No you stay where are said hip over lus shoulder Tins is where I eep my will lou would like to sec it dare No indeel said Gasco sme y dreading that his uncle be to gratify him Not curious enough snarled old iarker Well that s a good thing You would be disappointed I can tell you expect anything from me Very well sir said too inch overwhelmed by the consciousness having the will in his pocket to late the humor of the situation Quite disinterested Mark my Words young man not one farthing wiil ou got from me till yon are making year by PO you ried the old gentleman cocking his eyo t him Yes answered Gascoigne with lerable composure Then you bad better seel about it Not ut what you have plenty ol be hastily I'm good for twenty ears the doctor says so I'm glad to heat said Gascoigne No you're not All the same it IB Oi ell for you that you should have A few ears to work up a practice in for if I were to die to morrow you would get Are you going out inquired coigne what to Bay to this utterance Yes I in going to take that box to my ank You can come with me and pay the cab replied ills uncle buckling at this characteristic joke He rang the bell and sent his man for cab to which in due course Gascoigne escorted his amiable relative while the sorter carried the tlu box If his uncle ad been m an observant mood be would lave remarked that the young man sub- with much better grace than bia jokes and sarcasms This was surprising for it is not difficult to be with an elderly relation when one knows he has manifested benevolence in the most effectual manner n the other hand the fact tbat e was carrying off clandestinely man's will was sufficiently disconcerting o render Gascoigne a trifle absent When be had deposited his uncle and box at the alter duly ng his moiety of the cab fare Gascoigne ad leisure to reflect upon the ment he bad placed himself m Needless o say he bitterly repented ol his curiosity it would be more just o dwell his honest shame at IB had done It seemed to him that only wo courses were open to him one the more honorable u is to return tbe ment and say nothing The latter plan as the one he finally adopted and so much from self-interested motives as be cause he could not bring himself to face be old man's wrath The more he bought about the mattei tbe more erly ashamed and humiliated he felt As or tbe he regarded tbat as and for ever forfeited whichever course he took If be confessed his fault cross out his name The same thing happen if he kept his own counsel for was inevitable that the old man sooner or later miss his will and it woul be quite natural and easy to how it disappeared ho had only a choice of evils and simply elected to spare himself tli scourge of his uncle's tongue Theie are natures which need the stim of borne unforseen event or tune to awake their slumbering ei orgies Bus was tbe case with for being firmly that the re suit of what he hod done would depriv him of 1 m looked for he ap applied himself from that day on to tl of earning a livelihood lie many friends and some influential con but more important still h possessed talent to which he hid neve hitherto attempted to do justice A luck chance the absence of a learned leader in a notorious case afforded him the oppor of making tv mine and without great l lottery is sue cess at the found himself m a position winch was envied bv his con temporaries process occupied nearly years and during this period he avoided the PO of his uncle as much as possible He was haunted by a constant dread of the discovery of his was more indifferent about offending him Old Bar ker on his part grudgingly acknowledg ed Ins success and was disposed to be more gracious until at length hav ing inv hia nephew to dinner one ning he enU him royally lie said quite good I suppose you nre making a year now replied Gascoigne Then I shall have lo alter my vv ou would hku to knou what is m it I expect I do know sir mid Gascoigne un exclaimed tbp old man Your will is at my rl umbers Do recollect that day when you left In box unlocked upin the table here? In vour absence I opened it saw your will md was tumble to resist the temptation of it suddenly be ore I was able to replace it so I it exclaimed verv pale and shamefaced There was a painful silence for full v a the old man's evil eye Deemed to glare upon the offender o looked as he felt and then u coigne said It was a mean trick but I'm heartily ashamed of myself and I beg your don 1 And that is to be the end of it the old man slowly from his amazement I expect paid Gascoigne half cousin ought to be much ed to said oid Barker with a harsh laugh She needs the money more than I said Gascoigne By Jove sir she shall have it too What is more it shall come to her from your own hand roared the old man purple in bis face I don't said quietly Til make a fresh will on the spot cry well sir ou shall take it dow n from my tition As ou please It is rather like ing my own death said with a nervous laugh So it is so the series you right There's is a sheet of paper and pen over jonder Sit you said the old man excitedly Poor silently and not without an uncomfortable pang It as he had said uncommonly like signing lus own death warrant but after all it was only what be had anticipated and hti felt a certain sense or relief at ing unburdened I suppose you had better have the pictures and the things said the old man grudgingly She wouldn't em Thank you said Gascoigne meekly There may bo a

of bis discomfiture was evidently so amusing to him that he paused at frequent intervals to chuckle and laugh At length however penance was ended witnesses were procured nnd the will was duly signed Old Barker took possession of it and when his nephew naturally the ev soon flagged after this ing old man said Good night What a fool yon have beenl Those pictures and things aie not worth a quarter

exploring part that tl is monster meteorite was a genuine one When the specimen was etched by the nitric acid process it was found to be a perfect and rare men with a structure nil over it All doubt as to the genuineness of the meteorite was dispelled from this on The Cape York meteorite is feel long and S feet wide and 6 feet high From these measurements allowing for irregularities the huge mass must weigh m the ol 100 It is composed of metallic iron a small centage of iron and two or three other minerals The composition la similar to that used in plate armor on United States war ships A good Idea of its construction and appearance can be obtained from the two meteorites found n tho Cape York and presented by Lieutenant lo the American Museum ol Natural History in 1895 They are only termed small when spoken of in relation to the big Cape York meteorite The smallest tips tbe scales at 1100 pounds while the other weighs 0000 pounds it being the largest now on in the United States The former is with a smooth and resembles in all appearances a huge bowlder larger u the finer and more interesting of the two On surface are tbe jagged made by tbe atone hammers of the who doubtless for generations have chipped fragments from torse stones to give a hard point to their knives and harpoons When Explorer Peary discovered those three meteorites they were surrounded by a countless number broken alone mers and other implements used to chip off particles ol the iron The bases ol these meteorites which have not been touched by the atone hammers ol tbe tives show a pitted surface with a fine crust caused by the heal developed in their passage through the phere The second largett meteorite now on exhibition m the I States It the Ring meteorite Irom Mexico II is four leet m diameter
