For Ire does want it so i Margery wrung ber Lauds in her impotence. To think she could not help him not help him, who had been so good, bo good to her ! She fell down on her kneea at the bed Hide. The old face upturned on the pil lows could not turn to look at her thus. The restlessness grew in the hazard eyes, that seemed the only tbiug alive in the poor stricken body bound fast by paralysis. "Dear Mr. Giegory, if you could only speak one word could ouly tell me what to do for you !' "One thin you roust not do, Miss Margery," said Dick Stafford's voice iroiu the other aide ot the bed, "you must not take .your face out of his sight. I can bee my uncle grows more troubled wheu he loses sight of you.'' As she rose to her feet at Lis bid ding, the young man looked full at her with that In his eyes, which showed a quite sufficient apprecia tion of the old man's whim. But Margery was not heeding Dick. All her thoughts were bent on poor Mr. Gregory, lying there these three days, with that hunger in his look motionless. "No, not quite !" cried out Mar gery suddeuly, replying to ber own thoughts. "S6e, his poor fingers are movidg, rnoviug. Not his baud J oury me ncgertips. on, do you ihink life is coming back into themf Oh Dick, shan't we &end and have f . do ,to , : t Ue al lor "ere again at ouce ?" Iu her earnestness, she did not aotice how she had called his name; but Dick glowed with what appear e1 to ber an eager hope and nQ JUbt Wd3 80' tU0UgQ n0t Wnat De .thought. "Look at him, Mies Margery. If o.yes could speak, his seem to me to say he does uot want the doctor ; he does waut you.'' "The poor hand tLe dear hand, that has always been doing deeda wi kindness. Always, always !'' Witu a little inarticulate murmur of tenderness, such as one uses to a child, ahe put her haDd ou the dow useless one. More and more his fingers strove to stir under hers, What his lips could not, his eyes tried hard to tell her. So often did they glance from Margery to the small table at the iedside, that Margery touched one y one the things that stood upon it, hoping to come at his meaning. Not the cooling drink; not the medicine phials the bit ot paper cd pencil for jotting down the di rect ions the doctor had given her The paper, the pencil ? His look of relief was so iustauta t eous, that Margery caught a it ea gerly. "Oh, do ou think he couJd write vbat he wishes, if I could guide bis hand V she asked Dick, who brought her a book to pnt under the bit of paier on the bed, Dick bronglit the book, indeed ; but he looked more than doubtful, as once more she knelt down at the bedside, and put her soft baud over the restless withered one- Yes, she was not mistaken. Slow ly, and with difficulty, nnder her guidance a few straggling, hardly egible words were traced upon the paper : ''Watch-chain key desk will Tbwe the pencil fell from the res laxiog ringers For an instant those disconnected words seemed to stare jlankly ont of the paper with no meaning lor ths two young heads Dent wistfully above them. Dick tapped his forehead signing cantly, standing where the old eyes coqUI not see him. "He's wande-iDg' the gesture aid plainly enough to Margery. But the girl shook her head. "Do you knew where his watch and chaiu werH put?" she asked quickly. They were found presently, in the dressing case where they were laid tbree days ago, when at the close ol her May bill, Margery came up as May-queen in iier white dress and rose crown, to say good-night to the invalid giver of the May ball, her father's old friend, and so-called guardian of the penniless orphan girl. She came np. to rind him fall en iu the doorway between his two rooms, half hidden by the portier; rigid and motionless in that death in life paralysis. A small gold key on ihe watcho chain proved the kej' to the myste- rious writing. It uulocked the desk on the writing table in view iu the outer room ; and as the lid flew up, there was disclosed a half uufolded paper : "Last Will and Testa ment "That is what he wants." began Maigeiy, eagerly ; then, ttopped and diew hei breath short and bard, as her eyes fell upon a line of figures in the body of the will. SiOO.000 "55100,000 to my nephew Richard Station! ; the rest of my property real and personal, to be divided equally between my uephew Oliver Dean, and Margery " Margery read no more. With a hot blush for her jnadverteuce in readiug anything afc all, aud a dim seuse of wonder at the terms of the will (for was not Oliver Dean con- aidered old Mr. Gregory's favorite; and was not old Mir Gregory's mod est fortune generally estimated at somewhere about a hundred thous and f) the girl lifted the paper from its place. 'It must be this, that your Uncle Gregory wants ', she was begin ning. The words stopped suddenly upon her Hps. The color flew into her face that the next iustant was strangely pale ; for as she lifted the paper, her eyes fell upon sometliing lying under it. A dead rose from ttie May Queeu's crown ! The May Qaeen herself, and "Dick Stafford looking over her shoulder into the opeu desk, knew it at a glance. A whitish 'brown, withered Cherokee rose with its glossy green leaves. Dick Stafford had good reason to recognize it ; since he had been at some pains to send for these same hedge row blossoms, from ihe girl's old honjp, for that occasion ol the May part j. There it lay now, uuder the oid mau's will, in the locked desk, the key of which had never been out of the old man's possession until this moment, whun he Had signified his wish to have the will brought to his bedside. The keen e;yes of the old mau were watching both the young peo ple from his pillow. They were not conscious of his scrutiny ; they were only conscious each of the tense look lu the other's face. Then slowly, still not loweriog his eyes from Margtsry, Dick Staf ford stretched out bis band for the dead rose aud thrust iuto his breast pocket, Margery turned cold, striv en ng, as he did it. How furtively ce did it; how gutlfc.v he looked, she aid to herself wir.h a sinking heatt- No one bnt Dic.'t and she had had Cherokee roses ; a) id what had Dick been doing at this d isk ? That desk ; or wh ieh he had ap peared so profoui idly ignorant, hen together the y looked over poor Mr. Gregory's icrawl. Meanwhile, Dick svas regarding ler with a sort of wr. ithfnl pity in lis troubled eyes. ?as the child mad that she had dom 3 this thing ? Had women no sense f right and justice in their usefulness? Those two last ciphers of the 100,000 were sqneezed together, if th ey had been inserted 3 fterwards. Ts the child mad in her desire to help him, Dick Stafford, to more than a paN try $1,000 left him In th b will ; had she not scrupled not oul y to defraud herself, but also Oliver .Oaau, who had always been considered the old man's favorite nephew? Had sne tampered with the will, leaving her rose there unaware, a siieat witness against her? He thrust it out of sight ; breath lessly, not knowing what was possi ble to do, only Dot to betjay this child, who could not have known what she was doing ! As for Margery, heir brain was reelitig with tbe wild thoagnts pres sing ou ber. Was Dick Stafford mad, thai he had done this thing! Was it be cause ;had done this thing, that he would not understand the poor old man's wiitiug just now! Surely, surely, he conld not have added those two cramped wedged in ci phers, and so enriched himself ! It seemed clearly impossible ; and yet and yet Ttiat word took Margery's breath away ; with the swift memory of Dick's tirade against poor young meu wooing rich girls, aud her se cret, consciousness that if he had not been poor, and she with expec tations of the old mau who had been as a father to her, Dick would long ago have spoken. And tbe daitdy, glossy leaved Cherokee rose she had fastened in his bnttouhole, lhe night of the ball Margery turned sharply away, as he thrust it in his breast With fire in her eyes, but a deathly pal lor iu her face, she moved back to the bed, the will in ber hand, She conld uot deuy the commaud, the entreaty, in the old man's eyes.1 She had laid it, folded close, upon his hand. But he would have it un folded ; bow could she deny him that, either f She opened it, and held it out to him, slowly, reluctant ly ; yet she would not meet his eyes as he read it ; nor herself read in them the story of Dick Stafford's sin. She turned aside, and busied herself with arranging the phials on the staud beside the bed. The click of the door presently startled her into glancing over her shoulder at it. It was Dick leaving the room. As she turned back, the restless lingersgwere still moving, moving as though they vainly strove to reach the pencil. The restless eyes met hers again ; uot to be gaiu said. Dick had gone; no harm need be dune she told her quailing heart. She flung herself down ou her knees at the bedside ; she put tho pencil once more iuto the helpless fingers, guiding them- Ah. how she watched tor the irregular, hard ly legible words they formed with so much difficulty 1 Her breath came fast ; there was a mist before her eyes. "Pair youug lools. Will all right. Olivers's rose.'' Margery laid her hot cheek a gemst the weary hand, from which she drew away the paper, aud hur ried to the bell, palling it vehement' ly again and again. As the door was opening : "Send Mr- Dick here at once, at once, do you bear ?" she cried to to the servant she supposed an swering her gammons, But this was Dick bimself; who came hastily forward and took her in hi3 arms, seeing her changing color. Shej broke into a teaiful laugh. ' " 'Pair of young fools " ' she cried : " 'Pair of yoang fools !" ' aud thrust the penciled paper on him. "Pair of young fools !" This May day a year later, the words were spoken aga;n ; this time by old Mr Gregory himself. For after all, he recovered suffix cieutly to explain how he had the knowledge of Oliver Dean which caused him to aUer his will by tbe additiou of two ciphers to convey the bulk of his fortune to Dick Stafford ; who, he knew, would be sure to marry Margery. It was the shock of that discovery of Oliver's unwoithiness, which was the cause of the paralytic seizure a moment after altering the will ; and the old man fallen in the doorway between his two JJrooms speechless had see:i Oliver enter, go the open desk, the rose stoleu from Margery, to provoke Dick's jealous anger, drop ping into the desk from his lapel as he lifted the will from its place Tbeu something had drawn the youcg man's eyes to the prostrate figure staring at him ; be had flung back the wiil, letiiog the spring lock slam to; and fled. 4:The will might bide its time," said Mr. Gregory ; meanwhile, he would give his blessiDg to 'his pair of foolJs upon thi3 their wedding day. A BKIEF .SKETCH OF 1IO.V KOPE 1ILIAS. A IStigy, Hright, T7eful and Hiicceatdil Life. Shelby flaview. The most important office from a political standpoint, in the State is thai of Collector of Internal Reve nue There are two districts in the State each carrying a salary of $ l, 600 per annum and accompanied by a vast amount of patronage giving great political power. Only one of the.se districts has yet had a Demo crat placed in charge the 5th or Western and in appointing Hon. Kope Elias, of Macon county, col lector of this district tbe PreM.-Ieut has proven himself true to his friends and a wise executive. Mr. Elias has for years been ont' or the most prominent and popular Democrats in the State, but since he has taken ebarge of the 5th Dis trict, his popularity in Western North Carolina at least, has increas ed vastly. The following brief sketch of his life will doubtless bo read with interest. Kope Elias was born at Columbia, S. C, July Otfi. 1849. When he was tan years of age his parents moved to North Carolina. For the next five years he attended the academic school at Lenoir, Caldwell county, Rutherford College and Marion. At tbe close of the War he went to New York and attended school. At 18 years of age he returned to North Carolina aud began the study ot Law under cheif justice Pearson, of tue Supreme Court and ar 21 began the practice of law iu Cherokee county. The next year be was ap pointed solicitor ot his district for one circait and filled the othce with such distinguished ability that his success in his chosen profession was assured. Iu 1872 he was made a sub-elector for seven ' counties in the 9lh Congressional Distiict on tbe Greely ticket and made a mag nificent canvass. He moved from Gherokee couiity to Macon county iu 1872 and locat ed permanently at Franklin, wL ere iu 1870 he was married to one ot the State's most beautiful and irj.tei lient women, Miss Timoxeua i iler, d mghter of the lamented Capt. Jnb ius Siler, and niece to the liitsCrov eiaor Swam. Mr. Elias has been active" in every campaign and we are saJ 'e in saying that no mau ot his age has ever done more effective, or vigor, ous work thau he. He has been chairman of the Democratic execu tive committee of Macon coantj for 20 years and a member for many years of the Judical, Congressional aud State executive committees. In 1887 he was elected :o the Srate Senate representing tin coun ties of Jackson, Macon, Swai a, Gra ham, and Cherokee aud Clay . Dur iisg the session he served m the most 'important committees.. He was chairman of the joint com mittee of tbe Senate and Ho-jc on the appointment of justices of the peace. The Republicans ami lade pendents had a majority on. joint ballot of 3, yet tnrougb the i bie management of Mr. Elias, ihe Di stn ocrats elected 2.700 magistrates by a majority of 18 a meat Jbnllj ant and important triumph) tor Demo cracy. He was the wckntjwbjd ged leader of tbe Democratic parly iu tbe General Assembly, ajjd was. pop1 ular with both parties, beiug at the close of the session, prf seDted with a gold-headed cane by both Rouses Mr. E ias is one ot the fe' origi nalJCIevelaiid meu, aud was out spoken in his advoef ey of his no mi . nation. He was a f leiegate to the Natioual Democrat: tc couventioa iu 1884, and did goof i work for Mr. Cleveland. Iu 18 S8 he did not at tend the Natiou convention be cause it was a fc regone conclusion that Mr- Clevelf .du woold be re nominated. Notwithstau ding Mr, Cleveland" defeat, Mr. El' a was always bt champion and dt-fender and con stantly decla ced h)s faith in him. In 1802 he. vf as elected a delegate to the natioi ial convention in the face of tbe f pposit'on of the anti Cleveland 7 politicians. He at once waded into tbe midst of the fight land made a series of brilliant aud able speeches in Mr. Clevelanda be half in Pennsylvania, Indiana and l!!inoi!. When the clans be;an to gather at Chicago, Mr. Elias was early on t le ground ami was made, one of the Cleveland caucus managers. On Monday before Mr. Cleveland was nominated ou Thursda-, he te'egraphed to friends iu this State, that Mr. Cleveland would be nomi nated on the first billot and that he would be elected president by the largest popular vote ever given to a caudidale- After the nomina tion Mr. Elias was appointed ou the committee to oilkially uotify Mr. Cleveland aud Mr. Stevensou ot their nominatious. Wheu iu Washington ' and New Voik shortly alte.v the convention, Mr. Eiias was interviewed by the leading papers of the country aud declared that. notwithstanding many leading; Democrats of the State declared, that Mr. Cleveland could not eany North Carolina, he would carry it by l;5,000 majority and lead the, ticket by 3,000 votes, (and he did led it by 2,003 votes.) Mr. Flias took4the stump in West tru North Carolina and made a campaign which competanr. judges suas never been equalled in the history of the State, superior even to the great campaigns ot Eaneoin aud Vance. He created great en thusiasm. In 1890 Mr'. Eiias was '.the peo ple's tchoice,fLr Congress in the 9th District, and led the balloting in the convention. There was a dead lock and, although be was in lhe lead, la a speech that added largely to his established reputation as an orator and created nuaicuso euthu eW-iui, he patriotically with diew from (be race. Whoii he located iu Cherokee couiiiy m 1S70 aud begau the prac tice ot law, Mr. Elias' worldly post sessions consisted of a dollar. But he had brain and energy aud soon made his way to the trout rank aud iu a few years won the leading and controlling practice in the 12th Ju dicial District and has accumulated a fortuue ot 55100,000. .Mr. Enas is a warmhearted, geu ml gentleman, aud wins friends wherever he goe?. He h as no sop- e. lGr in the State as a political mau :iyer, aud as a campaigner he has bat few equals. It is not to be wouoered at that Mr. Cleveland should be his warm personal friend in view ot bia devo tion to and his services lor Mr. Cleveland, and, with his knowledge oi men, it u not auprising that Mr. Cleveland should have selected him fot the important office of collector. Air. Elias has verv clearlv'. defin. ed his plans. He intend by judi. cious appointments to elevate a ser-. vice which iu the unwise, and otten incapable, bauds id Republicans has become odious to the peop'e and fruitful ot oppression and soan dfcl. That, under Mr. Elias wise and conservative aumiuistiaii the service wiil, as we stated some tmo ago, be elevated, purified and dignified, is as-ured. He has shown excellent judgement and an intimate knowledge ot his district, the re qoiiments of the service and the c 3k racter of tbe applicants, m the appointments he has already made. Pa'terning after Mr. Cleveland, wham he justly regards as the greatest statesman ot the age, Mr. Elias has gooe about the vvork oi changing his subordinates slowly aud with deliberation.. He has al so adopted au -'ex-rule," bat the rule is n ot flexible. Mr. Elias is peculiarly blessed in his home life. His residence in the t wn of Fra'jknu, a beautiful mod ern structure, is eitaated in a grove or magnificent oaks upou an emi rirhce overlooking tbe beautifal Valley of the Little Tennessee and Murrounded by the grand mountains ot the Blue Ridge. Here uis that cue accomplished aud lovely women whose companionship has been a bf nedict'on to his life aud an inspir ation to bis labors, presides with gracious dignity aud kindly hos pitality. Toey have five chddren our handsome soos and a lovely daughter and every one of tliem shows the inheritance from their oarents of hish order. Few chiU c have been so carefully trained, and educated! Mr. Elias will do a great work or the public service and his party work that will last and bear fruit for many years. Something That Pai.
