As a handi^omc young man, with good heijlih, fashionable fricr.Js, und en allowance of £500 jcr annum from bj« father, \Vi".l:r.m K'jupcl was in a fcsilion that many W'.'uld have tnviod. But his allowr.nfc was far from be- ing sufficient to cnabl.j him to gratify his extravagant tastes. He kept horses at livery stabler,. He Eho\v,.rcd costly presents on ladies ii the ihtatrical profcMion, gave cxiravaRant dinner- parties, and *as a constant apd un- lucky j'an.bler. RAISING THE WIND. At iT.enty-two he found himself in dciit to the extent of nearly £10,000, U;e money being mainly due to money- lenders and jewellers who knew that his fothcr, old Dick Roupcl, of Cross UouFii, Kennington, for all his mean •way of life and fh.:bby attire, was fnormously wealthy. Willibm Roupcl knew that it would n.tJin ruin if he discloned hie liabilities and how they had been incurred to the cid man. So, at the sipe of twenty- two, he committed his first forgery. His father was possessed of several tttales. One, the Kingston property, was worth £20,000. William Ifcupel had aacess to his father's deed boxes; he took the title deeds to this estate, forged a deed of gift of it from his father to him»*lf, and on this raised £ic,o6o. THE SECRET SHADOW. Relieved for 'ho moment of liis fin- ar.cial anxieties, Roujiel plunged into new extravagances. A year later he â- was again hopelessly invxlved in fin- ancial difficulties. Once again he re- torted to forgery to rid him.self of them. He forged a deed of gift of another of his father's estates worth i~_'5,000, and rai.sed £20,000 on it. Again he was free to devote himself to the pursuit of pleasure in its most costly forms. I must turn now to a tragic circum- stance in the life of this man, who, with all his faults, had sonic good qunlitiei. He was generous and, when in funds, gave freely to those in need. He had many personal attractions, including a strikingly handsomi face and great charm of manner. But legally he had no name. He had be^n born eight years before his father married his mother. He only learned this when he was sixteen; and from that time onwards the knowledge «f his illegitimacy seems to have eaten like a canker into his whole moral nature. BY FATHER'S DEATH-BED. More than that, it filled him with terror lest his father should die with- out making a will, and thus leave him a nameless and penniless outcast. riving at the house with William after all was over, would not at flist go to the room where her dead husband lay. She T.t, blinded with tears a broken- hearted woman, in the small sitting- room. Her son went uptlairs to the death thamber. In .he room was a bureau. In which he suspected that his father's will, if there was one, would be. He had searched before for a will, but he had nevei dared to search that bureau. It was the one thing in the bouse whose contents his father had kept concealed from him. The key was in it. Roupel turned the lock and opened the desk. At one eide of a pile of papers lay the last vill and testament of his father. He read it without flinching. It was Whenever >t can be prove4 that an animal has reached a conclneloo by pure reasouing. It Is well worth re- cording, and It Is equally Interesting to find out why that animal used Us reasoning power when hundreds ot Its species never showed any signs of It. Some years ago, I Ir.d a young stal- lion nameu "Mischief." He surprised me one day by diz-playlng reasoning powers he was not supposed to pos- sess. On that piirtlcular day like many other days, I drove up to the village to get the mall. On such oc- casions Mlschiei always waited pa- tiently for a reasoiu'iblo length of time after which ho would commence paw- .ing the ground. He had been pawing not a lengthy documir.t. There were (^aj ^„y ,or gome time when 1 untied Chri&(lie*s ARROWROOTS Tve forgotten 1 ever had an'y nerves some twelve bequests to relations, an annuity for life to iMrs. Roupel of £2,000 per a.iT,um, a».d the while of the remainder of an estate worth nearly £7.50,000 was bequeathed tc Kichard Roupcl, William's junior by ia number of years, but his father's legitimate Fon. William floupel was not even men- tioned in the will. Why must alway."; remain a myitcry, for old Roupel had always appeared to have the greatest possible affection for him, and had entrusted him with he management of his affairs. The >oung man walked to the bed i where his dead father lay, and looked | down at him. What a tumult of I thoughts mu.^t have rushed through | his brain! But one thing emerged] clearly. Unless he could produce an-; other will he was not only a ruined • man, hut his forgeries would be di?-. covered. I His mind worked swiftl.v. He would , no^ destroy the real will, but he would : produce another of later date. That very him, jumped Into the two-wheeled cart, a-.d then went flying down the road to tho ranclk. It was always necessary to stop at a gate, which was made out of sfall poles mortised into two heavier poles, on eat each end. The gate swung n a pivot, but was always fastened se- curely against the pressure of wind or any other can.^e, hy means of a chain, one end of which was stapled firmly to the heavy standard post that formed the gateway. The loose part of the chain was looped over the pole of the gate, the uper part ot which stood upright about ten inches above the top of the uppermost horizontal pole. On reaching the gate 1 always got out and lifted the chain off the perpendicular pole standard, then gave the gate a good push and It would swing open. On this particular day Mischief was in a great hurry to get home, for he tore down the road at his fastest trot- ting pace.

In th' forged will he made his fath- er bequeath the whole of his estate to his wife, whom he appointed his %n\c executrix. He did this because he knew that his mother would renounce her duties as executrix in his favor, and allow him to administer the estate.

The next day I purposely kept the hor.se waiting until he was very anxi- ous to go. As we leached the gate I slackened the reins and he immediate- ly stepped over, stretched out neck and opened the gate precisely as By P. B. Prior Boys and girls, as a rule, have manyi"P kinds ot pets In the country, but its seldom they make a pet of a pip. Well, I did as a hey, and I will tell you all about It. This particular pig was given me by my father, with the idea that I should bring it up, as its mother had died. At this time Dilly â€" as we called him â€" was only the size of a small dog, and was very wild, for every time we went near him he would run away.

But with all the advice we could not get him in, so at last we had to give trying.

I When we went to see where he had jgot him, he had got hold of Billy's-ear land led him into the drawing-room 'and shut the door on him. But there I was no noise in there, it was very I quiet; not a sound. We tiiought he was having a joke on u.s, but when we hunted around the pig had escaped from the drawin.f:-room through a door leading to our bedroom and made him- self nice and comfortable on our bed. We didn't let mother know, but we put the pig out in a hurry for fear "Has the trolley car gone yet?" the swaying gentleman asked, earnestly. "No, not yet." ".Must have gone.

At one -ime he had over £200,000 on current account, and was living at the rate of £100,000 per an num for ruin and that his forgeries must ere long be discovered. He kept a diary at this time. Here is one extract from it which throws gtood the language, but he knew and an interesting light on his state of|gensed I was e.v;pecting something ot mind: "I seem sometimes to he living in a slate of exultation," he wrote.

I am rushing downwards or to some frightful end. What it will be I know not, but I long for the end to come." INTO THE LION'S JAWS. It came quickly. One mor ling, while riding in the Park, he was accosted by the buyer of one of his father's pro- perties. "••*"• - "I believe," said the man, "that there ia something wrong about that property I purchased from you." "Something wrong?" repeated Rou- pel, "Yes; and you will hear more about it."

So there was father singing out to come and make the pig let go, and the pig pulling In the opposite direction and squealing all the time. At last the piece gave way â€" then there was trou- ble. Father was chasing the pig â€" whether he was after the piece of his overcoat or not I don't know. He picked up an empty jam tin and threw it at him. Billy gave one squeal, then he lay down and rolled over and over. Mother and all of us ran out to see what all the noise was and when the pig saw mother, he ran and stood behind mother looking around the side ot her skirts at fath- er and grunting all the time, and then we discovered what the squeal bad been for, as he had only half a tall. After that Billy and father were far from friendly, you may be sure. A few days after that we had an- other funny experience with Billy. The baby was laid in the pram out In the sun and my sister went out a few minutes after to see how the baby was, and Billy had crawled up into the pram and was lyint, across the baby's feet.
