"And to each of my four loving and
devoted nieces a framed portrait of
myself to ba enlarged from my cabi-
net photograph for which and other
purposes a fund has been given by
nie to my executor. 1 hope they will
treasure the portrait in their posses-
sion and memories In remembrance
of me. '
"The cheap old hunks!" viciously
hissed Mary Winsted to her sister
Nettie.
"Il'g shameful!" was the angry re-
sponse. "After leaving all that money to the
theological seminary!" almost sobbed
Ksther Dalton to her cousin Alice
Rowe who sat by her side.
"Dear old uncle!" spoke Alice soft-
ly. "He was good to all of us when
he was alive. He gave me my piano
you know and there hasn't been a
Christmas for five years past that he
hasn't made us all handsome and ex-
pensive gifts of Jewelry and the like."
Esther shrugged her shoulders un-
der the $200 sealskin coat that Uncle
Robert had given her only a few
weeks before his death. Then she
smiled sweetly at Mary and Nettie.
She was glad to Bee the owners of
those angry faces disappointed in
their lofty hopes of a rich legacy.

ATWOOD C. O. D. GROCERY
ert Burr ended all Interest of most
of the relatives present died out for
he had favored few of them and those
with no marked liberality. There was
a great confab at the Dalton home
that evening. Alice was an orphan
and lived with the Daltons. The Win-
steds lived only next door and Mary
and Nettie came over to discuss the
great event of the day and abuse their
dead relative.
"Humph! his old portrait can go to
the barn loft for all I'll hinder" de-
clared Mary spitefully.
"'In loving remembrance!"' quoted
Nettie sneeringly. "I hope some one
smashes a stepladder In it when they
go to hang it in my room."
"I shall retire my precious legacy
as soon as the decent period of mourn-
ing has passed" observed Esther
icily as though she were punishing
the relative who had failed to cater to
her extravagant tastes.
Alice said nothing. She had always
had a warm spot In her loyal little
heart for Uncle Robert. She was. In
a measure dependent upon me uai-
tons but well earned her way. Espe-
cially since the gift of the piano she
had been able to pay a fair cash price
for her board besides he'rlng in many
1 little household duties which the
haughty Esther disdained.
A month later the really prized por-
trait hung In a cherished way In the
poorest room In the house which of
course was the one to which uncom-
' plaining Alive was assigned. Esther
' had placed her legacy In her brother's
neglected dn. The Winsted girls
j openly boasted that theirs had found
storage In an unoccupied servant's
room. Then there came along one
Worth Iavenal and the complexion
of the four young girlish lives was vi-
tally affected by the occurrence
lie was a bright manly young fel
low. What pleased the Winsted girls
was that lie was reputed rich. Ho
was the favored nephew of a prosper-
ous city stockbroker. Esther set her
cap for him at once. This caused a
bitter break In her relation with Mary
and Nettie and the harmony of the
little coterie of cousins was broken In
upon.
Esther was pretty but bold as well.
She simply started out to appropriate
the distinguished visitor to the town
all to herself. Young Davenal was
however no moro attentive to her
than to the others. Alice grently ad-
mired the manly free-hearted fellow
and from the first lie seemed to enjoy
her company. Twice however once
because of necessary attention to
some pupils and ai?ain when Mrs. Dal-
ton fell 111 and wished gome one to
keep her company Alice disappointed
Mr. Davenal In engagements and this
seemed to nettle him. It was possible
that Esther created some false Im-
pression in his mind as to the true
far fa of the case. At all events he

Iher and the Winsteds gave up the
contest.
Not .ao Alice. She felt that she had
stood aside too often to please Esthar
and the others. She had time and
again sacrificed her pleasure lor their
benefit. She had been more or less a
drudge In their service. Now Jeal-
ousy and petty scheming she was cer-
tain was discrediting her With a man
whose friendship she valued. She
wished to stand well In his eyes. The
opportunity to vindicate herBelf came
one evening when at a lawn party
she found herself alone on a rustic
garden bench with Mr. jjavermi.
She felt it her duty to tell him the
truth regarding the reasons why she
had broken her engagements wltj
him. She' was surprised to Bee the
deep shadows that crossed his face
as she spoke.
"I was Informed wrongly" he said
his voice unsteady with some deep
emotion suddenly revealed. "I I was
piqued at your Indifference. I and
now it is too late!"
They were interrupted at that mo-
ment. "Too late" for what? The
words rang In Alice's ears for hours.
Could It be possible that he had cared
for her that he had been cajoled into
engaging himself to Esther that now
h!s eyes were opened to the truth?
Before Alice could fathom the
depths ot the complication there came
strange and disturbing news. The
rich relative of Worth Davenal had
plunged too deeply In his stock ex-
change speculations had lost his en-
tire fortune and both he and his pros-
pective heirs were beggars.
Then came the climax. Esther
turned against Worth in disdain. One
day he met Alice. He found her the
loyal friend she had proved to be.
She advised him she encouraged fllm
when he sought work liko the man
he was. Then true love shone forth.
They became engaged. At the end of
the year In a modest but happy homo
they set up housekeeping amid the
sneers of Alice's three cousins con-
cerning "those paupers!"
One day there came to the humhle
cottage the executor of Uncle Rob-
ert's estate.
"Mrs. Davenal" he said pleasantly
with a glance at the portrait of her
dead relative occupying a prominent
place on the wall and well cared for
"I see you still remember your uncle."
"I shall never forget him" declared
Alice. "He was very good to me and
I loved him dearly."
"Ycu are not liko your cousins
then" said the lawyer. "Those three
other portraits have gone to the rub-
bish heap. So I have a special mis-
sion in coming here today."
Alice looked inquisitive and her hus-
band interested.
"By a private arrangement made
with myself" explained the lawyer
"I was to watch the manner in which
his portrait was cherished by his
nieces To the one who showed a
genuine Interest in his gift I was to
give at the end of two years the sum
of $20000. That legacy you have
worthily won and it is now at your
command."
And "those paupers" were no longer
pitied and looked down upon by the
ill-natured trio who had lost a for-
tune by showing up their real petty
natures In true colors.

Folk's Good Opinion.
Few persons do not value the good
opinion of others. Pulling down the
character of someone is not the way
to build up your own; the ruin of an-
other does not mean your building up.
There are some who appear to think
another's possessions something taken
from themselves. This is a mistake.
To point out an error in another's
character is not to prove a correspond-
ing virtue in one's own. If we decry
another for being miserly of disagree-
able disposition extravagant or stu-
pid ai.d expect the hearer to see the
corresponding virtue In ourselves
we need to learn that this is not what
the hearer usually sees. Rather he
thinks how unkind such talk is and
attention is called to failings in the
speaker which would probably other-
wise not have been noticed. Let your
chief aim be to make yourself worthy
of the good opinion of others. Belit-
tling them is a plain acknowledg-
ment of a conscious fault of your own.
The way to win the good opinion of
others is to be worthy of it. If you
are you will not need to call attention
to it Milwaukee Journal.
Habit of Judging.
The habit of Judging is so nearly In-
curable and its cure is such an almost
interminable process that we must
concentrate ourselves for a long while
on keeping it in check and this check
Is to be found in kind interpretations.
We must come to esteem very lightly
our sharp eye for evil on which per-
haps we once prided ourselves as clev-
erness. We must look at' our talent
for analysis of character as a dread-
ful possibility of huge uncharitable-
ness. We are sure to continue to say
clever things so long a3 we continue
to indulge in this analysis; and clever
things are equally sure to bo sharp
and acid. We must grow to some-
thing higher and something truer than
quickness in detoctlng evil.
Running the Gantlet.
The word "gantlet" in "to run the
gantlet" is improperly used. The word
should be "gantlope." Phillips in his
"World of Words" tells that "to run
the gauntelope" is a punishment
among soldiers the offender having to
run with his back naked through the
whole regiment and to receive a lash
from a switch from every soldier. It
is derived from Gant (Ghant) a town
of Flanders where the punishment
was Invented and the Dutch word lope
running.
