OUR' NEW HOUSE.
We spoke of it as our new house simply
because we thought of it as such, and not
from any claim to the title, for it was just
about as old and as rickety as a house sup-
posed to be habitable could well be. It was
only new to us. Indeed, with the excep-
tion of the house, there was nothing new
about us. Neither my wife nor myself was,
in any sense of the word, old, and we were
still, comparatively speaking, new to each
other.
It had been my hal-.it, for the few years, I
had been in Somerset house, to take my holi-

year, on my summer holiday, met there my
fate in the person of Mrs. Compton’s
daughter Mary, just home from school. I
returned to London engaged. There was no
reason why we should wait, for I had few
friends and no near relatives living, and
Mary had the consent of her mother. I was
told that her father who was a merchant
captain, had gone to sea shortly after her
birth, but had never been heard of since,
and had consequently been long ago reck-
oned as “with the majority.” I never met
any of my new relatives; indeed there was
not the family opportunity afforded by mar-
riage under conventional social conditions.
We were married in the early morning at
the church at Littlehampton, and, without
any formal w? deling breakfast, came straight
away in the ti ain. As I had to attend to
my duties at Somerset house, the prelimi-
naries were ?J1 arranged by Mrs, Compton
at Littlehampton, • and Mary gave the re-
quired notice of residency. We were all in
a hurry to be off, as we feared missing the
train; indeed, whilst Mary was signing the
registry I was settling the fees and tipping
the verger.
When we began to look about for a house,
we settled on one which was vacant in a
small street near Sloane square. There was
absolutely nothing to recommend the place
except the smallness of the rent—but this
was everything to us. The landlord, Mr.
Gradder, was the very hardest man I ever
came across. He did not even go through
the form of civilty in his dealing.
“There is the house,” he said, “and you can
either take it or leave it. I have painted the
outside, and you must paint the inside. Or,
if yon like it as it is, you can have it so:
only you must paint and paper it before you
give it up to me again—be it one year or
more.”
I was pretty much of a handy man, and
felt equal to doing the work myself; so, hav-
ing looked over the place carefully, we de-
termined to take it. It was, however, in
such a terribly neglected condition that I
could not help asking my iron-clad lessor as
to who had been the former tenant, and
what kind of a person he had been to have
been content with such a dwelling.
His answer was vague. “Who he was I
don’t know. I never knew more than his
name. He was a regular oddity. Had this
house and another of mine near here, and
used to live in them both, and all by himself.
Think he was afraid of being murdered of
robbed. Never knew which he was in.
Dead lately. Had to bury him—worse luck.
Expenses swallowed up value of all he’d
got.”
We signed an agreement to take out a
lease, and when, in a few days, I had put in
order two rooms and a kitchen, my wife and
I moved in. I worked hard every morning
before I went to my office and every evening
after I go* home, so I got the place in a
couple of weeks in a state of comparative
order. We had, in fact, arrived so far on
our way to perfection that we had seriously
begun to consider dispensing with the serv-
ices of our charwoman and getting a regular
servant.
One evening my landlord called on me. It
was about 9 o’clock, and, as our temporary
servant bad gone home, I opened the door
myself. I was somewhat astonished at
recognizing my visitor, and not a little
alarmed, for he was so brutally simple in
dealing with me that I rather dreaded any
kind of interview. To my astonishment he
began to speak in what he evidently meant
for a hefcrty manner.
“Well, how Are you getting on with your
touching up?”
“Pretty well,” I answered, “but ‘touching
up’ is rather a queer name for it. Why, the
place was like an old ash heap. The very
walls seemed pulled about.”
“Indeed!” he said quickly.
I went on. “It is getting into something
like order, however. There is only one more
room to do, and then we shall be all right.”
“Do you know,” he said, “that I have been
thinking it is hardly fair that you should
have to do all this yourself.”
I must say that I was astonished as well
as pleased, and found myself forming a reso-
lution not to condemn ever again any one for
hardness until I had come to know some-
thing about his real nature. I felt some-
what guilty as I answered “You are very
kind, Mr. Gradder, I shall let you know
what it all costs me, and then you can repay
me a part as you think fair.”
“Oh, I don’t mean that at all. ” This was
said very quickly.
“Then what do you mean.” I asked.
“That I should do some of it in my own
way, at my own cost.”
I did not feel at all inclined to have either
Mr. Gradder or strange workmen in the
house. Moreover, my pride rebelled at the
thought that I should be seen by real work-
men doing laborers’ work—I suppose there is
something of the spirit of snobbery in all of
us. So I told him I could not think of such
a thing; that all was going on very well,
and more to the same effect. He seemed
more irritated than the occasion warranted.
Indeed, it struck me as odd that a man
should be annoyed at his generous impulse
being thwarted. He tried, with a straggle
for calmness, to pursuade me, but I did not
like the controversy, and stood to my re-
fusal of assistance. He went away in a pos-
itive fury of suppressed rage. ■
The next evening he called in to see me.
Mary had, after he had gone, asked me not
to allow him to assist, as she did not like
him. So when he came, x. refused again
with what urbanity I could. Mary kept
nudging me to be Arm, and be could not help
noticing it. He said: “Of course, if your
wife objects”—and stopped. He spoke the
words very rudely, and Mary spoke out:
“She does object, Mr. Gradder. We are
all light, thank you, and do not need help
from any one.”
For reply Mr. Gradder put on his hat,
knocked it down on his head firmly and
viciously,.and walked out, banging the door
behind him.
“There is a nice specimen of a philanthrop-
ist,’’ said Mary, and we both laughed.
The next day, while I was in my office,
Mr. Gradder called to see me. He was in a
very amiable mood, and commenced by
apologizing for what he called “his unruly
exit.” “I am afraid you must have thought
me rude,” he said.
As the nearest approach to mendacity I
could allow myself was the suppressio veri,
I wa3 silent.
“You see,” he went on, “your wife dislikes
me, and that annoys me; so I just called to
see you alone, and try ;f we could arrange
this matter—we men alone.”
“YThat matter!” I asked.
“You know—about the doing up those
rooms.”
I began to get annoyed myself, for there
was evidently some underlying motive of
advantage to himself in his persistence. Any
shadowy belief I had ever entertained as to a
benevolent idea had long ago vanished and
left not a wrack behind. I told him promptly
and briefly that I would not do as he desired,
and that I did not care to enter any further
upon the matter. He again made an “un-
ruly exit.” This time he nearly swept away
in his violence a young man who was enter-
ing through the swing door to get some
papers stamped. The youth remonstrated
with that satirical force which is characteris-
tic of the lawyer’s clerk. Mr. Gradder was
too enraged to stop and listen, and the young
man entered the room grumbling and look-
ing back at him.
“Old brute!” he said. “I know him. Next
time I see him I’ll advise him to buy some
maimers with his new fortune.”
“His new fortune?” I asked, naturally in-
terested about him. “How do you mean,
Wigley?”
“Lucky old ‘brute! I -wish I bad a share of
it. I heard all about it at Doctors commons
yesterday.”
“Why, is it anything strange?”
“Strange! Why, it’s no name for it. Wliat
do you think of an old flint like that having
a miser for a tenant who goes and dies and
leaves him all he’s got—£40,000 or £50,000—
in a will, providing a child of his own doesn’t
turn up to claim it.
“He died recently, then?”
“About three or four weeks ago. Old Grad-
der only found the will a few days ago. He
had been finding pots of gold and bundles
of notes all over the house, and it was like
drawing a tooth from him to make an in-
ventory, as he had to do under a clause of
the will. The old thief would have pocketed
all the coin without a word, only for the
will, and he was afraid he’d f isk everything
if he did not doit legally.”
“You know, all about it.” I remarked,,
wishing to hear more.
“I should think I did. I asked' Cripps, oS
Bogg & Snagley, about it this morning.
They’re working for him, and Cripps says
that if they had not threatened him ivith the
public prosecutor he would not have given
even a list of the money he found.”
I began now to understand the motive of
Mr. Gradder’s anxiety to aid in working at
my house. I said to Wigley:
“This is very interesting. Do you know
that he is my landlord?”
“Your landlord! Well, I wish you joy to
him. I must be off now. I have to go
down to Doctors commons before 1 o’clock.
Would you mind getting these stamped for
me, and keeping them till I come back?”
“With pleasure,” I said, “and look here!
Would you mind looking out that will of
Gradder’s, and make a mem. of it for me,
if it isn’t too long? I’ll go 1 skilling oh it.”
And I handed him the coin.
Later in the day he came baGk and
banded me a paper.
“It isn’t long,” he said. “We might put
up the shutters if men made wills like that.
That is an exact copy. It is duly witnessed,
and all regular. ”
I took the paper and put it in my pocket,
for I was very busy at the time.
After supper that evening I got a note
from Gradder, saying that he had got an
offer from another person who had been in
treaty with him before I bad taken the
house, wanting to have -it, and offering to
pay a premium. “He is an old friend,”
wrote Gradder, “and I would like to oblige
him; so if you choose I will take back the
lease and hand over what he offers to pay.”
This was £25, altered from £20.
I then told Mary of his having called on
me in the office, and of the subsequent reve-
lation of the will. She was much impressed.
“Oh, Bob,” she said, “it is a real romance.”
With a woman’s quickness of perception,
she guessed at once our landlord’s reason for
wishing to help us.
“Why, he thinks the old miser has hidden
money here, and wants to look for it. Bob,”
this excitedly,' this house may be full of
money; the walls round us may hold a fort-
une. Let us begin to look at once!”
I was as much excited as she was, but I
felt that some one must keep cool, so I said:
“Mary, dear, there may be nothing; but
even if there is, it does not belong to us.”
“Why not?” she asked.
“Because it is all arranged in the will,” I
answered; “and, by and by, I have a mem.
of it here,’’ and I took from- my pocket the
paper which Wigley had given me.
With intense interest we read it together,
Mary holding me tightly by the arm. It
certainly was short. It ran as follows:
“7, Little Butler street, S. W., London—I
hereby leave to my child or children, if I
have any living, all I own, and in default of
such everything is to go to John Gradder,
my landlord, who is to make an inventory
of all he can find in the two houses occupied
by me, this house and 2 Lampeter street, S.
W. London, and to lodge all money and se-
curities in Courts’ bank. If my children or
any of them do not claim in writing by an
application before a justice of the peace
within one calendar month from my de-
cease, they are to forfeit all rights. Ignor-
ance of my death or their relationship to be
no reason for noncompliance. Lest there be
any doubt of my intentions, I hereby declare
that I wish in such default of my natural
heirs John Gradder aforesaid to have my
property, because he is the Hardest-hearted
man I ever knew, and will not fool it away
m charities or otherwise, but keep it to-
gether. If ’any fooling is to be done, it will
7 is by my own.
“(Signed) Giles Armer, Master Mariner,
formerly of Whitby.”
When I came near the end, Mary, who had
been looking down the paper in advance of
my reading, cried out: “Giles Armer! Why,
that was my father!”
“Good God!” I cried out, as I jumped to
my feet.
“Yes,” she said, excitedly; “didn’t you see
me sign Mary Armer at the registry? We
never spoke of the name, because he had a
quarrel with mother and deserted her, and
after seven years she married my stepfather,
and! was always called by his name.”
“And was he from Whitby,” I asked. I
was nearly wild ivith excitement.
“Yes,” said Mary. “Mother was married
there, and I was born there.”
I was reading over the will again. My
hands were trembling so that I could hardly
read. An awful thought struck me. What
day did he die? Perhaps it was too late—
it was now the 30th of October. However,
we were determined to be on the safe side,
and then and there Mar.y and I put on our
hats and wraps and went to the nearest po-
lice station.
There we learned the address of a magis-
trate, after we had explained to the inspector
the urgency of the case.
remember,” be said to Mary, “that as yet
your possible fortune is a long way off.
There may be more Giles Armers than one,
and moreover there may be som; difficulty
in proving legally that the dead man was
the same person as your father. Then you
will also have to prove, in a formal way,
your mother’s marriage and your own birth.
This wdl probably involve heavy expenses,
for lawyers fight hard when they are well
paid. However, I do not wish to discourage
you, but only to prevent false hopes; at any
r rate, you have done well in making your
declaration at once. So far you are on the
high road to success.” So he sent us away
filled with hopes as well as fears.
When we got home -jre set to work to look
for hidden treasures in the • unfinished room
I knew too well that there was nothing hid •
den in the rooms which were finished, for I
had done the work myself, and had eveih
stripped the walls and uncovered the floors.
It took us a couple of hours to make an
accurate search, but there was absolutely no
result. The late master mariner had made
his treasury in the other house.
Next morning I went to find out from the
parish register the date of the death of Giles
Armer, and, to my intense relief and joy,
learned that it had occurred on Sept. 30, so
that, by our prompt action in going at once
to the magistrate’s, we had, if not secured a
fortune, at least not forfeited our rights nor
allowed them to lapse.
The incident was a sort of good omen, and
cheered us up; and we needed a little cheer-
ing, for, despite the possible good fortune,
we feared we might have to contest a law-
suit, a luxury which we could not afford.
We determined to keep our own counsel
for a little, and did not mention the matter
to a soul.
That evening Mr. Gradder called again,
and renewed his offer of taking the house off
my hands. I still refused, for I did not wish
him to see any difference in my demeanor.
He evidently came determined to effect a
surrender of the lease, and kept bidding
higher and higher, till at last I thought it
best to let him have his way; and so we
agreed for no less a sum than £100 that I
should give him immediate possession and
cancel the agreement. I told him we would
clear out within one horn- after the money
vvas handed to me.
Next morning at 9:30 o’clock he came with
the money. 1 had all our effects—they were
not many—packed up and taken to a new
lodging, and before 10 o’clock Mr. Gradder
was in possession of the premises.
While he was tearing down my new wall
papers, and pulling out the grates, and stick-
ing his head up the chimneys and down the
water tanks in the search of more treasures.
Mary and I were consulting the eminent
solicitor, Mr. George, as to our method of
procedure. He said he would not lose an
hour, but go by the first train to Littlehamp-
ton himself to examine Mrs. Compton as to
date and places.
Mary and I went with him. In the course
of the next 24 hours he had, by various doc-
uments and the recollections of my mother-
in-law, made out a clear case, the details of
which only wanted formal verification.
We all came back to London jubilant, and
were engaged on a high tea when there came
a loud knocking at the door. There was a
noise and scuffle in the passage, and into the
room rushed Mr. Gradder, covered with soot
and lime dust, with hair disheveled and eyes
wild with anger, and haggard with want of
sleep. He burst out at me in a torrent of
invective.
“Give me back my money, you thief! You
ransacked the house yourself, and have
taken it all away! My money, do you hear?
my money!” He grew positively speechless
with rage, and almost foamed at the mouth.
I took Mary by the hand and led her up to
nim.
“Mr. Gradder,” I said, “let us both thank
you. Only for your hurry and persistency
we might have let the time lapse, and have
omitted the delaration which, on the evening
before last, we, or rather she, made.”
He started as though struck.
“What declaration? What do you mean?”
“The declaration made by my wife, only
daughter of Giles Armer, master mariner,

Theatre.
some delay were admitted to an interview.
The magistrate was at first somewhat
crusty at being disturbed at such an hour,
for by this time it was pretty late in the
evening. However, when we had explained
matters to him he was greatly interested,
and we went through the necessary formali-
ties. When it was done he ordered a cake
and wine, and wished us both luck. “But

Origin of the “Patent Outside.”
Mr. Kellogg tells an interesting story about
how he conceived the “patent outside”
scheme. He was a country newspaper pub-
lisher in an Illinois town some twenty-five
years ago, and was in the habit of printing
one side of his paper in the middle of the
week and the other half bn publication day.
On one occasion after his paper had been
printed his press broke down. He was not
in a central position, and it was no easy
thing to get the machine in shape in time to
print the other side. As it became more and
more apparent that he could not get his
paper out on time if he depended on his own
press, he made his forms ready and secure,
and drove over to a neighboring town some
dozen miles away, where he finally got them
on another editor’s press.
His own press could not be ready for use
for several weeks, as one accident followed
another. He therefore made an arrange-
ment with his esteemed contemporary by
which he set up the type for the local side of
his paper and sent his forms over every
week. His friend supplied the general and
miscellaneous matter from his own columns,
and as the papers circulated among entirely
different constituencies, the plan worked to
a charm, and nobody was a bit the wiser for
the fact that the two papers except in their
local departments were entirely alike. It
then occurred to Mr. Kellogg that a great
business could be built up from the idea sug-
gested by his misfortune. The “patent out-
side” was the result, and though it was never
patented, that broken-down press made
its owner a millionaire.—Cor. New York
Tribune.
Grape Sugar from Linen Fiber.
If a quantity of lint or any linen or cotton
rags shredded small is placed in a glass ves-
sel and twice its weight of sulphuric acid is
gradually added to it with constant tritura-
tion, the fibers slowly swell up and disappear
without disengaging any gas, and a tena-
cious mucilage if formed. This contains a
large quantity of dextrin, and if it is diluted
and boiled four or five hours it becomes con-
verted into grape sugar. Chalk is now added
to it and it is thoroughly filtered and then
evaporated by a gentle heat to the consist-
ence of sirup. After standing a few daj’S
this will become a firm, candiedmass. If.-*it
is now passed between the folds of porous
paper linen, dissolved in water, then clari-
fied with animal charcoal, it crystalizes
again into perfectly white grape sugar, or
glucose. Hemp, linen or cotton treated in
this way will give 1 per cent, of its weight in
grape sugar. —Inter Ocean.

Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr. J. E, Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head; everybody said
he was dying of consumption. A trial
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery was
sent him. Finding relief, he brought, a
large bottle and a box of Dr. King’s New
Life Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was w'ell and had gained
in flesh thirty-six pounds.
