THE EVENING STAR, | THE ECCENTRIC WILL. [CONTINUED.} “Jmean what Isay. Ihave sold ever: thing. Soscon as Tam carried ont of this horse in my coffin, people to whomi have sold everything Will come in and take posses- sion of everything. One small box only is fer my daughter Millicent. It contains. family papers, and some jewels and trinkets. Tazt's ali. One hundred pounds will be found in my pocket. . That will pay for the funeral and you two lawyers.” « Well, sir?” “Goon! My will!” Mr. Martin at once drew the will. It was simple and short; and, to my surprise, it marie Sir George Taunton one executor, and Mr. Martin the other. They were both bound to Rami over to Millicent Devises, on the day she became of age. the wholeof the money in funds which was standing in tne name of Mr. Deyises her father. 1 and the old gray-headed servant witnessed the will, and then Isaid, “Is the young lady Paris ! a “No; Dijon. Madame Beaupere, Dijon. What's o'clock 7 « Just three,” said the solicitor. «Nine hoursand a quarter,” growled old Devises. “Be off ! Good day P? We leit the house, and Mr. Martin handed the will to his clerk, saying, “Take care of this, Jones. Itis important; and don’t erase that oddress of Miss Millicent Deyises which I have written on the outside in pencil” sir.” Joné#s, by the by, is not your brother clerk to Sir George Taunton ?” «Yes, sir.” “Ah, I thought so. Well, I shail haye to co to see Sir George to-morrow, I tancy, abont this business.” Mr. Martin and I walked back to the Temple in discourse about old Devises and his peculiar- ities, and I went aboutmy ordinary affairs, andsoon ceased tothink of the willand its eccentric author. I saw, in theobituary of one of the moruing papers, that Mr. Devises was dead. I wondered fora moment or twoif all had gone right in regard to his will, and then I was about to dismiss the affair from my mind, when there came asharp and sudden knock at my outer door, and in afew seconds my clerk announced “Mr. Martin, sir, if you please, and Madame Kowpot.” “Madame who !” said L ««1t was something like that, sir. Bowenare.” «Let them come in.” Mr. Martin appesred, accompanied by an elderly lady of most unmistakable French ap- pearanee, and who, on the instant she saw me, began 4 torrent of spcech that was perfectly bewildering. « Ah, monsieur, Ihave come to goto you. Ma belle Dijon west pas ict. (My beautiful Dijon is not here.) 1 spoke the language Eug- lish so well. Douze-cent-cinguante J : (twelve hundred and fifty trancs,) monsieur, and she was promise tosend. Machere Milli- cent! I see her to-morrow was to-day, and I know hernot. Dowze-cent-cinguante francs was forme. Ah! bah!” It was only the providential cirenmstancs that Madame Beaupere, wanted at that mo- ment a pinch of snuff, with which she regaled herself, that enabled Martin to put in @ word. “ Allow me,” he said. “Poot! exclaimed Madame Beauprre, as she flirted some snuif into tie eye of the solici- tor—“poof! I shall go to speak. Mademoiselle Millicent is alter, and go off, away, different. Douze-ceni-cinguante franes! Ah! Mon Dieu! Douze-cent-cinguante franes !” « What isthe meaning of all this!” said I. «Pray explain it, Mr. Martin. Madame, allow this gentleman to speak ” Mudame Beaupere rose and executed a pro- found curtesy, and then sat down again, and | Waited; with her enuff-box in her hand, while the solicitor spoke; but I saw that he was very wary. that he did not get another pinch of snuif in his eye. “This lady,” he snid, “is the lady, at Dijon, with whom Miss Millicent Devises was brought up since her infancy.” + C’est vrai!” exclaimed Madame Beaupere. «Mr. Devices, after making his will, died at | the precise hour he indicated, and I commnuni- | cated at once with Sir George Taunton, and | ‘wrote to Miss Millicent to Dijon.” + Bon!" cried Madame Beaupere; and after a tremendous rustling of her dress, she pro- duced a letter. “T receive him.” * Yes,” added Mr. Martin, «that is the letter. ‘There is no doubt abont the identity of Madame | Beaupere. Well, sir, the young lady came to | Engiand, and went directly to Sir George | Taunton’s house; and he sent for me, and all ‘was or all seemed to be, right; and only yester- day she became of age, for she was baptized at Bloomsburry church; and, in accordance with | the provisions of Mr. Devises’s will, Sir George | and I have transferred to her the whole of his ; fertune, and she is now living in Park Lane in reat style.”? “ Vraiment /” cried Madame Beaupere; douze- ety tecinguante francs.” «« Well, what then !” said I. +: Well this lady called on me only two hours ago. i*he had been to Ormond street, and there | she got my address, as the legal adviser of the Jate Mr. Devises; and she said Miss Millicent | promised rhe moment she gotto London, to | remit her twelve hundred and fifty francs, and j has notdone so, or taken any notice of her. That sum wus due for ihe last quarter's stipend.” | «« My dear sir,” said I, “it really appears to me that, busy as I am, you are occupying my time with a very trival affa Bowpot or “No. Waita bit.” Ha! ha!” said Madame Beaupere. Nous verrons! Hatha!” «J thought it strange and odd,” added Mr. Martin; “and offered to go with Madaine to | Miss Devises, at her splendid house in Park Lane. And we went.” «Well, you got the twelve hundred and fifty francs !” “No. We saw Miss Devises, but Madame don’t know her.” «Don’t know her ?* «No; and she aver: erson who was for her Pension, at Dijon I started to my fect. “An impostor !” cried 1. «Imposteurs! Frippons !—trompeurs !” (cheat, impostor!) cried Madame Beaupere; and an immense dab of snuff went into the other eye of Mr. Martin, as she snapped her fingers close to his face. « But—but,” said I, ‘are you sure of this !* “Quite.

There we tound the Judge fortunately alone, and detailed what had happened to him. There came alook of deep anxiety over the face of the Judge when he became aware of what we had come about, and he rang his hand-bell quickly for his clerk. A stranger to me appeared in answer to the summons, and [ said, “(Have you discharged your clerk, Jones, Sir George !”” “No; he discharged himself. He left me about three weeks ago.” Now that, at the moment, struck nfe as rather strange: for it will be remembered that Mr. Martin's clerk and the clerk of the Judge were brothers;and I remembered about that time since, Mr. Martin had remarked to me that he Was putabout a good dealin his business, on account of his clerk, Jones, leaying him sud- denly.
