THE LOST WILL, About 20 years a;o there 1 ie 1 in southern Ohio a q-ic-r old chnractr named Themis M tl:i. 1I was never married, and hi ecccntricitiei made his name a fam liar on- i:i several ciuntiei. Ho lived iu a little log houe on a farm about four miles from a v Riga, and somotimn ho wax alone for months, aud again ho would havo his ho iso crowded with his relative!. While- fa' her nni mother wero d -nd, hi ha I three brothers au I four sisters living, and in the sarao entity. O 10 day he mighl meet one of lhe:n aid hand him a ti) gild piere. The very next day he would pat the .-aim pets n by wit'iui spanking. As ho was worth about 12(11.000, all made hy the sale cf oil wells found on his Ian Is in I'enrisy'v i nin, anil ni h;s ndn'ivji were ai poor, none of the n d ue I offend him. If lie treated tho n coldly thny put uj with it; if he insisted on s lin family stay ing with hi n for a week they made eveiy saiiifice to pleas- him. There ,n a 'n,ci of humni i i tin old man'j i- mp nit on w.thal. 1 thin'-, lie leaiorcl that nil his relative! cxprc cl a slice of hit wealth, and In intended that each onu slionl I liavo it, but he propose I to make : h mm cat a it ai far as they could. If he knew that his brother Junes was plmliig c i l, nod in a great huriy to get through, he wi uld s-inl for him and insist that he hunt or fl-h oi go lonkiig mpr the c m idy for sorr.e plan, or root n-ded for Hikn t. If hi i brother lie it y imn'ra busy in Ins saw mill t .c old mm was Mire to send up a message to him to come down and take a witch In .el rod i u I go wandeiing cv.-r the h lis to locate metoh. Tlicre w.n only one h--d iu the hou-o, nnd yet the o d man wool 1 in sist that a fam 1 of eight com) nn I visit him an I slo-p where! thoy could. Twire a yenr In killela lamb. The rest of the t i in ? he lived on pu hling and milk and vegetable i. U de Tom, as everybody called him, was over "0 yean of ago w!ion I (list knew him, and it inu t havo secni-d to his relative! that he n'onded to liva to bo a hundiei. As thy yeais went by he roally seined to improve, and it was a cold day when he couldn't think of some new trick to play on tlm,o who anxiously waited for him to turn up his toes. Ho ha I mile a will, as wis known in a certain law office, dividing up his we.d'h pr rati, but one day something ecmirred to determine him to revoke it. He had sut for his brother Henry and family to come to him at once. Henry was rawing lumber on a contract, ono of the children was ailing and be returned word that ho could not come. Tbi was the first time he had ever refused such a demand, and whe i the messenger rot timed the old mm boiled over with indignation. Ho sent or his lawyer to come an 1 make a now will, and the lawyer, of course, brought the old one. Ha saw this laid on the clock shelf, aud it was lying there when ho went awav. Tiie new will wai not eutlrely coiuplo e 1 that da;. Martin said he might want to ma'o some other changes, and so ho did. His sister May, who was an old mii 1, was with him that day, and nficr the lawyer had gono Martin wanted to bwer her down in the well tn rrrc ver a lost bucket. She wns timid ami afraid, nnd the result was that she wns orderel to pack up and leave, nnd wai toll plainly (hat tho need not expect a dollar. Nor was this a I. Hiving got his band in, an it were, the old man went for another I iiiiher, and force I a rup ture, aid then sint for a lawyer and cut the three persons off with a legacy of 100 each. He signed the new will and placed it with tho others, say ng he would keep both for a few days and sec if anything else turno-l up Then, in ridel to show hi contempt foi h a rela tives, ho sent f u a woman named Tiintiher to keep house f I h:m. This woman was a wi I w, noout II jean old, and was looked upon us half cray and the other ha'f forli-h. Hn wns employed in the villiigc at liundiy work. M irtin. gave out t'l.it he would marry her, nnd he was bear I to fay raoie than ojice that no' one of his rela tivn should over get a dollar of bis mom y. One night, two monthi r.fter the Thaicber woman went to keep lumo for liim, bo got a bud full whip; bringing in wood. Hi had to be hflpcd to bed, but only a porllm of what fallowed wa known for many months afterward. Tho old mau felt that hi i lnt hour hid c om, nn I ho got rid of hor for a fow minu!cs by sending her out to the bun. Which will he meant to burn no ono will cv r know, but h i got up nil I bume I one of them. Hith wero duly soiled and nttested, and both were flquitly goo 1 in law. T.iat ho did b n n ono of thorn wassur -. T. liny houvs later some, one happciiel to visit I hi cabin, nnd tho old nun was found dead in his boi, the woman had d snppc.ired, and tho wills were mUsing. With all that money at s'a'ee there was groat excitemont, of course, and th. relativei gave me the case t ) wor'f up. X ono knew, until I overhauled tho aslici in the fire pined, that anything h id bee i b.irnvl. I foun I scrap! of piper, proving that at least one of 111! wills hn I bee I de stroy d. So far as I could (ell, both mig'it hav bev.i burned at thu same li n". w e had been, anyhow, and the q ics'. ion of whii:'i it was interested every relat i ve. It secme I turio.ii why Mrs. Tiiatcher had gone away, and still more curioii that she ha I onnped observation. A no ono li.il met her in thu village or on the highway, it must l e c included that she had reasons for hiding. If one of the wills had b en preserved, she prob ably knew of its whereabouts, as tho whole cib.net I n I been bunted ovei and cvr aain without, bringing it to ligh'. Mv lirs-. step, therefore, was t i discover her, l ilt when a fa rly shnrp man pits h in e f a;iinst a half id:ot he tuny be beaten. 1 main a cii. ut bo tbnty in lei mound on houebaik, ard, s li le I m t a liuudre people who I nei inn wool mi oy ij;ni, i eoiii'i g,-i no trace of h-r.

I git out e'reu Inrs and sent I lie m to (own mar.-.hal, con tables, post masters, and farmers, b it no go il ri suited. Tucn, one day. I sat down to put myself in her pirn-. I' nil I knew then sli wis with thu nil mm w'le i In died, and it might hnvi bean her hand which bel I one of th" wills to the 11 line. Just why she should (j nnd hid'i h-rself when not guilty of any thing was n pii'.i'o. S i far as wo could determino sin bad taken nothing.

Her best was a black silk, a tine re 1 s'law!, u fasliionible bonnet, and line shies. S ie woul I not on iv b ik ver much like n la ly, but she wmi I not set out f r a wnlk acrosi the wet fii''ds or along llio mil !dy highway. She won' 1 t iko the triin at the nearest point, of course, an I that happens I to be at a sta'ion not nvertbir: rod' fr m i hi old niau'n cabin ami on h s land.

She hn I fonr svciks tho stnrt of me, but bad strong hopes of Girl ing bet.

She. doubtless, fene l sin woul I be b nmd f ir tho ol I min's d 'nth, and n sea c'l mi le f ir her. In that cue she would hido herself. I hnd my muid ma lo up wheu I renchod Cincin nati to look for her among the Inard ng hcipes, nnd look Idid. A fie: a vain search of a week I got ono of the re-n-lar detectiie:, nnd ii another wte'i we got track of her. In gcin i ito the city she bill entered into conversation with a fellow-passenger, aid he hid rcconitnead jd h-r to a boaiding hou e kept by bis aunt.
