The Hunters
(Original ]
Marcus Hunter was left an orphan
when he was seven years old. He had
no brothers or sisters, uo home, no
money, no anything. An uncle who
was well to do took hlui to his house
against his wife's wishes, and the
boy's life there whs one of misery.
When he was seventeen the uncle died,
and the aunt turned the boy out of the
house. He found a position as clerk
In a business house. In ten years he
set up for himself.
His relatives who during this period
had Ignored him now l>egitn to nod
pleasantly to him when they met him
and Invited him to their houses. The
aunt, who had made life a burden to
him, reminded him of the pleasant
days that he had sjieut under her roof
and how happy It had made her to be
a mother to him.
Just as Mark was getting on his
feet In a business way a commercial
panic came on. He needed a little as
sistance to tide him over the crisis
and applied to those of his relatives
who were able to help him. Ho began
by telling them that he would like to
talk over his affairs with them with a
view to getting tbelr advice. He got
no further than this, for each and
every one of them pronounced himself
Incompetent to advise him. This shut
the poor fellow off, as they intended.
He failed. Then his relatives dropped
him again.
When the commercial storm was
over Mark went to work for a man
who was a business genius. Ho took
a great fancy to his clerk and pro
moted him rapidly, finally making him
second only to himself. Then the em
ployer died childless and left about all
there was of the business to his pro
tege.
Marcus died a multimillionaire. Just
before his deuth he made a will, In
which he directed that the house In
which he hud passed his lonely life ?
he never married? should be closed by
his executor from the day of hfij death
till one week after the funeral, when
an auction should take place of every
thing It contained. No one was to be
admitted to the sale except his rela
tlves.
Sine? be left no direct heirs, most of
the relatives were present at the rend
ing of the will, each hoping for a sub
stantial remembrance. When they
hoard this singular provision and
learned that the testator had left no
legacy to any one of them they natu
rally Inferred that he had concluded to
remember tliem by leaving their lega
cies iu different articles of furniture.
But what a singular way! Ten thou
sand dollars might Ik> in a hollow cane,
while but $1,000 had been placed in a
rosewood desk. Vet the cane might be
knocked down for a dollar, while the
desk uilght bring $100. Was there ever
such u way devised for distributing
miliums of money? The will further
stated that the amount realized from
the sale was to be expended by the
executor for a monument to the de
ceased.
When the day of the sale came
around It was astonlsbiug how many
relatives Hunter had left behind hltn.
There were Hunters innumerable both
by name and In reality. A protest
was made to the executor that many
of them were not related to the testa
tor and should not be admitted. But
he argued that by the terms of the
will the sale must take place then and
there and there was 110 time to exam
ine credentials.
The crowd were kept walling while
articles were llrst sold that could not
possibly contain anything, such as un
covered crockery. On these there
were only such bids as would serve
to get tiiem out of the way. But
when it came to articles In which
stacks of bills could be placed the bid
ding became furious. As soon as an
article was knocked down the buyer
wished to get at It, but was informed
that he could not have it till after the
sale. The bidders had every variety
of opinion as to what articles were
most likely to contain large amounts,
so that anything wooden or hollow
brought excellent prices. A kitchen
table with a drawer (locked and no
key) brought $100, an upholstered sofa
S20u, a cane tishlug rod $150. A stew
pan with a hollow handle large enough
to contain a dozen $1,000 bonds
brought $273. One of the favorites
was a plaster bust of Abraham Lin
coln. Such busts are usually hollow,
and this would naturally attract an
Ingenious hide. It brought $G55 and
was the cause of a protracted quarrel
between two different branches ot
Huuters.
Well, the last article was Anally
knocked down, and buyers were told
that they might take away their pur
chases. A rush was made for the
articles, but few were removed. Sev
eral purchasers had brought hammers
and with these begau to smash their
articles. The signal was a crack on
the head of Abraham Lincoln's bust,
which dropped into a couple of dozen
pieces. An exclamation of rage went
up from the man who had paid the
enormous price for It. From that mo
uieut the crash of furniture, the tip
ping of upholstery and the smashing of
glass and stoneware were mingled
with oaths and exclamations of disap
pointment. Not a single article knock
ed down by the auctioneer contained
one cent or one cent's worth of prop
erty.
The next morning the newspapers
announced that the late Marcus Hun
ter had a few days before his death
given away his whole property, $4,
<100,000, to Institutions for the poor.

[Original.]
j "Captain Picvardt," said the king,
I "a treaty Is In process of arrangement
t>etwcen us and the king of Prussia
favoring a defensive und offensive nl
i liaucc against tlio French. The final
| draft has been made, and tho Prussian
j envoy has requested us to forward a
| copy of It to his sovereign for ap
, provnl. King I.ouls of France knows
j that a treaty is beiug discussed and Is
j anxious to defeat it, or if it is made to
i know its terms. The real king of
j France, Cardiual Richelieu, has placed
j men on every available route between
i here and the Prussian capital, and it
j Is next to impossible to transmit a
copy.
"You have been recommended to me
not only for your daring, but for your
ingenuity. Iuvent a plan for concealing
a bit of paper which when compressed
will be about the size of an almond.
Go and bring me a solution as soon as
you have made it."
"I have often thought of such a ne
cessity and have invented such a plan,
but several weeks are required for
preparation."
"We can wait that long provlded'the
plan will surely succeed."
Three weeks from that day spies of
Cardinal Richelieu located near the
boundary line between Holland and
Germany were notified that the mes
senger had left Zwalle the day before,
' though they were not furnished with a
description of him. There were few
travelers In those days, and the only
person the spies encountered was a
friar, who said he was starting on a
pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
"Good father," said one of tho gang,
"say a paternoster for us."
The friar made excuses which did
not satisfy those who had stopped
him, whereupon, concluding that he
was a sham mendicant, who didn't
know a prayer, they searched him.
Not finding anything on his clothing,
they stripped him and made an exami
nation that would have discovered an
object uo larger than a pea. But they
found nothing and permitted him to
proceed.
Crossing (lie Ems, lie went on, beg
ging by the way, till be reached the
outskirts of Qunkenbouk, whero he
was met by a man, who said to him,
"Holy father, 1 have an order from
his eminence Cardinal Richelieu to in
vite you to his palace in Paris."
"Load on," replied the friar. "X am
honored in an invitation coming from
so great a churchman."
The man turned his back for a mo
ment, and the friar brought his stafT
down on Ids head. Ho sank on the
ground with a broken skull. "You
think it heavy?" said the friar. "So
it is. It is tilled with lead." Then the
ungrateful and unmerciful friar pro
ceeded on his way.
The next of the cardiuai's intercept
ors hud not been so well Informed
as to the guise of the messenger of
the king of the Netherlands. He was
stationed at a ferry across the Weser
river and did not suspect the friar.
"Ferry you across, holy man?" he
said. "That 1 will."
There was now but one route avail
able for some distance, and the cardi
nal had directed that every traveler
passing that way be searched. A num
ber of times the friar was stripped and
carefully examined. One party even
broke to pieces the rosary that hung
about his waist. For this the father
called down upou the man who com
mitted the sacrilege the anathemas o?
the church. They were a superstitious
people in those days, and the fellow,
convinced that the pilgrim was what
he pretended to be, begged on his
: knees that he would withdraw the
curse. The friar told him that he had
often been molested on his pilgrimage
and would not remove the curse unless
he were furnished with an order that
ho be permitted to travel without fur
ther interference. This was given him.
He withdrew his anathemas and gave
the party his blessing.
The friar went on, begging by the
way, giving his blessing to those who
gave him sustenance and shelter, till
; he came to the Elbe. On the banks of
! this river the passages were all guard
| ed by the cardinal's secret emissaries,
j who, had they been known to the
i Prussian government, would have been
hanged and quartered. This was the
last line it had been thought advisable
to guard. The friar had crossed the
river and was tramping through a
wood when men sprang from behind
trees and dov ned him. As soon as he
could make himself heard he told them
of bis pass and produced it. They
were much astonished, for they had
been ndvised that the messenger was
traveling in the guise of a mendicant.
However, they knew the men who had
given him a free passage and let him
go. This was the last time he was
stopped.
One morning the king of Prussia re
ceived word that an envoy from the
Netherlands was In the antechamber.
! The king, who was expecting news of
the treaty, ordered the envoy admitted
; at ouee. When ho saw a friar he was
! astonished. But the friar, who had
1 thrown off his saintly mien, told -the
i king that lie had brought a copy of the
treaty. When. directed to produce It he
! said he must have a surgeon. A sur
j geon was called, and the friar, expos
ing his side under the ribs, told him to
i feel till he detected a small lump. The
I surgeon, having discovered it, was re
quested to make an Incision over it.
This done, n piece of wax was with
drawn from between the muscles. The
wax was broken nnd a lump of thin
compressed paper revealed. This being
cnrefully unfolded, the king had a copy
I of the treaty. ;
