ATHENS BANNER : FRIDAY MORNING MAY 8. 1891
wmm
There ere time* when word* cannot
express feeling*; when even shout* and
yell* end screams 8.-era of tittle u»e, and
one of those time* ia when a good game
of baseball is going on and your aide i*
ah«-vl and climbing every inning. I
have *een wild crowd*, but that of yes
terday came very near being the wildest
I ever laid eye* upon and it made ray
blood jump faster as the boy* yelled.
«*.
. What is the laziest way to spend a
day? That, I know,,is a queer question,
b cause must people think tospend a la
zy day I* the greatest sin imaginable:
thinking that peoj.’e should work all
day and dream all night of business, pile
up an immense fortune, grovel and
slave for money, and then die of heart I
failure or paralysis of the brain. That
i* a cheerful prospect, but I was always
fond of a quiit existence and tw
much joy ot that sort would settle ine
in short order.

To return, if you have not yet decided
what i* the laziest way to spend a day I
think I can toll you. Get three or four
pretty girls, go off somewhere under
the trees, where the sun, no matter in
what part of the skies it is, cannot pene
trate, lie down on the grass and talk or
play tmimblep- g, if you choose, then if
you are not happy you ought never to
be. Lazy is a word which can hardly
describe a morning spent in that man
ner, it is delightful, spleuded.

There is very little to say about such
a day, you can only think of it in a
dreamy, lazy sort of way and if yon
have ever spent o.ie like it wish it back
again. Yes, \\i*h it back again a thous
and times. Life is at best a hard ami
work-a-day sort of thing and a few

What makes or mars a life, is it the
little things or the big things? I am
inclined to helieve that it is the small
trifles that change the course of events
or of life. Jfa|a»l. on lost the battle of

the
On North Broad street, just below
where the tracks of the Philadelphia
and Germantown railroad cross that
thoroughfare, stands a rained mansion
house that half a century ago was brave
with pillared portions and quaintly
carved doors and window frames. It is
today a cheap tenement house, inhabited
by a half dozen families, and the work
of improvement has left the entrance
door several feet below the sidewalk. In
its halcyon days this old mansion was as
many feet above its surrounding garden
it is now below the asphalt paved
street. It was the home of Jabez Fields,
a hard, stern old man, proud as a prince
and as reserved and unsocial as he was
haughty. His only living relatives were
a grandniece, Alice Fields, and a grand
nephew, John Wilcox.
John Wilcox was a prosperous Arch
street merchant, with a comfortable
bank account and a landed and bond
and stock estate that made him one
of the Quaker City’s richest men. He
was not on good terms with his aristo
cratic old granduncle, who despised
trade and everybody who labored for a
living. It it therefore not strange that
the latter totally ignored his grandniece,
pretty Alice Fields, who was as poor as
a clinrch mouse and a school teacher by
occupation. John Wilcox w;is as avari
cious as he was wealthy, and when word
was sent to him one day that old Jabez
Fields had died suddenly he hastened at
once to the dead man’s picturesque man
sion and locking himself in the library
began to search for his granduncle’s
will. To his joy, in a tin box in which
old Jabez used to keep valuable papers,
be found the document for which he
was limiting. With trembling hands he
unfolded the crisp parchment, ran his
eyes over the closely written lines aud a
cry of joy escaped him. He had been
made sole heir to the dead man's estate.
Mach chagrined was he, therefore,
when a letter from Jabez Fields’ lawyer,
James Dunnct, addressed to Mary Smith,
the old man’s housekeeper, was shown
him. There was a later will, and on the
day of the funeral the lawyer would
come to the old mansion to read it.
"He’s probably left a good slice tc
some charity,” soliloquized Wilcox, after
the housekeeper bad left the room, and
still confident that what was left would
come to him ho nodded pityingly to his
school teacher cousin when they inet at
the funeral and mentally resolved to
make her a present of ten dollars to buy
a new hat, gloves und shoes, all of which
articles of apparel were very shabby.
It was a misty, lowering day and the
old mansion seemed more tkjin ordinari
ly dull and gloomy when the cousins re
turned to it after all that remained of
their granduncle had been laid at rest,
In-pationce they awaited the coining of
the lawyer, but when 10 o'clock arrived
and he did not put in an appearauce the
housekeeper showed them to their rooms
and proceeded, with the assistance of the
bn tier, to lock up the house. These two
were fixing the fastenings to the big
front door when the sound of carriage
wheels crunching the graveled drive was
heard, and when Mary Smith opened the
door Lawyer Dunnet confronted her.
“I have been detained, Mary Smith,”
he said, “and won’t read the will until
tomorrow. Have a fire lighted in my
bedroom, for this mist has penetrated to
the skin; and by the way, Mary, send
me up some hot water and a bottle of
I think a punch
Strong Men.
Women love strong men. A weak

“Oh, Ernest!" she gasped. “How
cruel r and then nestling clone beside
him die forgot all about her disappoint
ment in the enjoyment of n blissful «*i
reciprocal love.
A few weeks thereafter they wen
married, and for several months Hvec
very happily. In the meantime, then-
being no opposition, the will which John
Wilcox had found was probated, and he
took possession of the dead man's estate.
Having been a very careless man so fat
as business was concerned, Jabez Fielih-
had left his affairs in a decidedly com
plicated state, and Lawyer Dunnet wa*
kept busy trying to evolve order out 01
chaos. Alice had been a wife about fiv.
months when her husband was Strieker
with a low fever. Alice nursed him
faithfully, and their little hoard grew
smaller and smaller until only a few
dollars remained. She had hail no in
terconrse with her cousin since the da>
of Jabez Fields' funeral, but now when
the life of him whom she loved was
menaced she plucked up the countge to
ask her ricji relative for a small loan.
Wilcox had taken np his residence at
the old mansion, and there she found
him busy in consultation with Lawyei
Dunnet. Timidly and in halting sen
tences she made known the nature of
her business.
“I never loan money except on good
security,” said the rich man when sht
finished, and Alice, with a great pain at
her heart and tears in her eyes, staggered
rather than walked from the room
Lawyer Dnnnet followed her into thi
hall and touched her arm.
“Accept this from me. madam.” lx
said, in a low voice, and he placed
bank bill in her trembling hand. “I
stop here tonight and will call to see you
tomorrow.”
Sobbing her thanks she passed out inf
the night and hastened with fleet step?
to the bedside of her husband. The dot-
tor was with him. and ho whispered t<
her that the crisis had passed, and i
there was no relapse Ernest Lowtoi:
would soon be well.
In the morning, much to her snrprise
Alice received a note in Lawyer Dun
net's handwriting bidding her hasten n'
once to the old mansion. Ernest wa:
sleeping quietly, aud leaving him to the
care of a neighbor she hurried on out ti
“Oakdale.” A servant ushered her ini,
the library, where John Wilcox and
Lawyer Dunnet received her. The lattei
sprang np-as she entered and grasped
both her hands.
“I congratulate yon, Mrs. Lowton,
he said. “The missing will, wide!
makes you your granduncle's sole heir
ess, has been found, and Mr. Wilcox wi!
mako no contest.”
"The will foundl" echoed Alice.
“Yes, and I'm left out in the cold!'
snarled John Wilcox. “Allow me to
congratulate you,” and he stalked an
grily from the room.
“It’s a very strange story," began the
lawyer when the door closed after the
irate man, and he drew his chair toward
the one on which Alice sat in stupefied
wonder, hardly believing her ears. “Yon
know that when I was here the night
after the funeral of Mr. Fields that the
will, which makes you his sole heiress,
mysteriously disappeared. Last night I
slept in the room that I occupied on that
unfortunate occasion. When 1 awoke
this morning the will, was lying on the
table just where I left it six months ago
It looked like magic, aud I couldn’t ex
plain the matter until one of the serv
ants said that he had seen me prowling
about the garden fully dressed at 2
o’clock this morning. Then 1 remem
bered that when I wa* a boy 1 used to
walk in my sleep. L thought I had out
grown the habit, but it is evident that
while in a somnambulistic state 1 hid
tho will, and under the same influence
found it again.”—Philadelphia Times.

table. He started back with a gasp of
astonishment. The will was gone.
“Hal" he cried, rubbing his eyes.
•That’s strangel” And, without stop
ping to dress, he examined the fastenings
of the doors and windows. They were
all secure, and, although he searched the
room thoroughly, the missing will could
oot be found.
After breakfast the servants, Mary
Smith and the two cousins, assembled in
the library and the lawyer took a posi
tion in the center of the room.
“When I reached here last night,” he
began, with his eyes on John Wilcox's
face, “I bad the last will and testament
of my old friend. Jabez Fields, in my pos
session,” and then he told of its mysteri
ous disappearance. He kept his eyes
fixed on Jofin Wilcox’s face, and the lat
ter shifted uneasily and changed color.
“Do you mean to say that I had any
thing to do with its disappearance?” fit
blurted out at last.
'I accuse no one,” answered the law
yer quietly, and then he asked for tbe
will which had been found among the
dead man’s papers by his grandnephew.
When Wilcox produced it the lawyer
adjusted his spectacles, and with a look
of commiseration directed toward Alice
fields said: “Unfortunately the two wit
nesses to the missing will are dead, but
I think we can prove its existence and
its contents. If Miss Field wishes”

«>f the place were at work there attention
was attracted by a moving object on the
cable. An examination showed it to be
a rat rapidly making its way up from
the basement to the top floor by the most
industrious "shinning.”
Some lime ago one of the men about
the place reported that lie had seen a rat
working its way up the cable. He was
laughed to scorn by his incredulous as

was established in the mouths of two or
three witnesses, so that it cannot be sue
