been for years hoping to raise enough
money to build a Baptist church,
there was some one after portions of
that money day and night.
Aunt Sarah did not lose her head
She bought herself a new alpaca dress
and a bonnet of a style not over three
years old, and set up housekeeping
for herself. She neither gave away
nor loaned** dollar, but after a while
made an announcement.
As the money had come to her by
it should go to others in the
same way. The doctors hed told her
that she had a weak heart, and was
liable to drop dead any hour, and she
did not .expect to live over four, or
five years at most. The Baptist
church, brother Ben and all the rest
must wait for her demise to benefit.
This was looked upbn as a sinful
tripk i.y some, and there were whis-
pered criticism behind each door, but
aunt Sarah was obdurate, and there
was nothing to do but wait.
Thirty thousand dollars Is a sum to
bow dowp to. ' The people bowed
down Aunt Sarah was flattered and
cajoled.
Two or three old widowers came
“gpooking around" to talk marriage,
and speculators came from a distance
to offer ground-floor Shares in gold
mines and oil wells.
She had the best pew when she
wont to church, the politest attention
when she called at the postoffice or
the drygoods store, and everybody
made up his or her mind to be men-
tioned in het last will *.
The woman lived in clover for five
years and then died. The term “clo-
ver” should be interpreted to mean
that so many custards, pumpkih pies,
glasses of Jelly, jars ot preserves,
fresh eggs, baskets of fruit and spring
chickens were sent in to herby neigh-
bors that she lived high without buy-
ing much, and the women were so
kind about dressmaking that
clothes coat her next to nothing.
About 50 people were on the fip-to*
of expectation regarding the will. It
was the largest funeral ever known in
Branch county. The wonq,an had made
her will and was dead, but It seemed
as if some folks hoped to come In for
something by attending the funeral.
There was. weeping at the house—
something of a rivalry between cer-
tain women as to who should weep

The executors named did not live

there, and then the smile on Aunt
Sarah's face .1 she lay dead was ex-

The failure of Sharp & Bryan came
during the morning session, shortly
after the market had recovered from
its demoralized opening The failure
of Huribut, Hatch A Co. was announc-
ed in the afternoon, Just aS prices
throughout the list were tumbling low-
er than at any time before.
The day’s business can be best sum-
marized by the statement that almost
four score of stocks, fully two-thirds
of the active list, touched the lowest
record reached during the present
movement, which had its inception
last September.
At the close of the day some of the
solid Interests (and it is suggested
that these interests have been kept
out of the market for weeks past, save
here and there when support was most
necessary) spoke reassuringly. They
‘declared that the financial atmosphere
was clarifying, but for all'of that. Wall
street as a whole could see no silver
lining in the clouds, much less a gold-
en one.
Other failures were confidently pre-
dicted. and the names of several im-
portant , firms were mentioned
among those in financial straits.
Aunt Sarah Snowden had never
married, and furthermore she had al-
ways been a burden on her relative*.
That Is to say.- she bad worked about

|A. 8he was called'“Aunt as a term ot
"^^Mrisibn, and as she was irascible and

* burdened with sunny days. At 50 she
was 'expecting nothing but to drudge
along for the rest of her day* »nd be
known as a poor relation, when a*
most unexpected event happened.
At 30 year* of age Aunt Sarah had
almoat been engaged to an old bache-
, lor. She ht-d come so near to It that
he had seen her home from cbOrch on
several occasions and "aat up" with
tier in th* evening. She had also ac-
companied him to a circus and a catnp-
, meeting, and a marriage might have
>> resulted had they not fallen. Into a
dispute over some trifling matter.
Both were “sot" in their, opinions.
. and after some hot words the bachelor
withdrew and left the maiden all for-
lorn. He passed out of her sight to
die twenty years ister and leave her
>30,000 by will.
The news of A~unt Sarah's windfall
threw the hamlet of Rosedale into a
flutter* that did rot quiet down for
months.
Of course nlne tenths of the people,
Including her brother Ben and his
wifd, hoped It wasn’t true, but a law-
yer came on to prove her clflim, and
finally hand her oyer the cash; and
then nine-tenths of the people made
a lightning change. From being the
drudge of the family, aunt Sarah was
exalted to the post of guest.
