Unexpected Inheritance of $15,000,000 by a"Poqr Gardener's Daughter. Philadelphia, Nov. 14. A remarka- ble romance in real life has come to life, by the sudden and unexpected inherit-ancej- of a fortune of $15,000,000 by the daughter of a poor gardener, "William Kelly. Tho legacy comes from the estate of a long dead uncle, Peter Kelly, who amasseda vast fortune in the Australian gold fields over 30 years ago. Peter Kelly was living with his parents in Lancashire, England, when the Australian ygld craze broke out and he went to that land to make his for- tune. Nothing was "heard of him until nearly a quarter of a century ago, when his mother received word that he would soon retnrn home a millionaire. He did not come, however. Inquiry was begun and the son's story of his millions was verified, part of tho money being in Australian banks. Tho family received the interest on l'he fortune," which was valued at $15,000,000. Some time ago Kelly learned of tho existence of a will in which all of the estate was bequeathed. to his eldest child, Elizabeth. At that time he made no effort to secure it. Two years ago he engaged an attorney, who has declared that the enormous legacy will bo placed at the disposal of the girl this week. . SOVEKEIGK SCOltES DESERTERS. tie Made Some Suggestions as to Methods of .Strengthening the Order. "Washington, Nov. 14. Tho chief public interest in tho meeting of tho Knights of Labor was in the addresses of General Master "Workman Sovereign and General "Worthy Foreman Michael J. Bishop. Much of Mr. Sovereign's ad- dress was devoted to the alleged treach- ery of those who headed the revolt against the general officers of the order during the past year. He reviewed what he termed their "devilish treach- ery" and their efforts to "disrupt the or- der.' He made some suggestions as to the methods of strengthening the order, but the principal feature of his address was his appeal to the general assembly to give to his recent order boycotting na-tut- ol UptiV.wntpc its official fauction". Ruth Case Practically Settled. Pierre, S. D., Nov. 14. In the case of South Dakota against Thomas H. Ruth, late superintendent of schools and public lauds, charging Ruth with crimi- nal negligence, whereby the state lost about $50,000 through the Taylor defal- cation, Judge Jaffy sntfniried a de- murrer offered -- on the part-o- f tho de- fense which practically settles the caso.

Not only that, but ho knew thatforthe next ten years the tax would be steadily in- creased. He had on several occasions evaded it by engaging himself to Borne attractive maiden, then, when tho dan- ger of taxation "was past for that year, causing a quarrel which resulted in his dismissal, but the authorities had be- come suspicious, and Tom had reason to believe that another such event would be closoly investigated. Clearly he must find some new and yet plausible way to evade tho tax on bachelors this year or deprive himself of many luxuries which he was sure he could not lo without. Down at his clubhouse his friends were entertaining a guest from abroad, "and Tom ought to havo shed the light of his cheerful smile on tho scene. He knew very well that tho fellows never enjoyed themselves quite so well when he was absent, but ho felt in no mood for merrymaking tonight. He donned dressing-gow- n and slippers, set a box of choice cigars on the table, which he push- ed close beshle the open grato; then, throwing himself into his most inviting easy chair, gave himself to the problem which confronted him. Ho had thought of no feasible solution whon, the guest, from abroad haying been sufficiently entertained, Tom was joined by Sander Ridgway, his most intimate club friend, "What's up, old fellow?" asked Sander, helping himself to an easy chair aud a cigar. "We missed you at the club." "I was too stupid to make a decent appearance, so preferred to remain at home. Have a good time?" "Tiptop! I wish you could have met that fellow, Tom. What ails you, any- how? Yon look decidedly morbid. " "I feel morbid. Business has been dull the past year, aud it is almost time . for that confounded matrimonial tax." "You must have a big one to pay to make you look like this." "It was $5,000 last year, and it will be heavier this. Confound such a law, anyhow ! I believe it would be better to "let women scratch for themselves, as they used to do in the good old days of ' ' our grandm.oth ers. "Oh, I don't know about that! Women's work cheapens labor, you know. That fs one renson why the mat- rimonial tax becamo a law. And, after all, you would not like to see women obliged to care for themselves. It would look very bad for tho men. " "I know it, Sander. I presume I'm selfish, but, really, this tax is as hard to pay as a doctor's bill." "Then why don't you marry? You could support a wife on $5,000 a year. " "I have not yet seen any one who was worth the price of my freedom. No, thank you, Sander. I'd rather pay the money and live alone. But I don't see just where the money is to come from. There's the rub. I shall be oblig- ed to take a cheaper room, discharge my valet, take meals at a. second class res- taurant and smoko 5 centers. " "That's where the law gets in its vork, my boy. By a steadily increasing pressure of self denial " "It is ontrageous !" "It gives you a choice. For my part I prefer matrimony. " "Is that a fact?" u. "It is." . "Who is the young lady?" "Miss Alice Griggs. " "O-ii-h-- Ahem! Is that is that why she refused me?' ' "I presume it had something to do with it. my boy.. She is a very sensible young lady.1 ' - "Tastes differ. However, I think she is. I congratulate yen, Sander. You know, of course, that there was no seri ous lovemaking between us." "To be sure. Alice said she suspected that you were fishing for a refusal, and so she accommodated .yous" "I wish I had not given her the op portunity to accommodate me quite so early in the season. It might have helped me out o this difficulty had I been less premature with my proposal." Tom did. not choose to have it known that lie had been so carried away by the charms of the lovely Alice that he had proposed without- - a thouglrt of the con- sequences. It was a mistake which he did not make very often. He almost en vied Sander, but he did not propose to havo that known either. He was glad now that Alico had believed his love- - Hiaking to have been for the purpose of securing a refusal, yet he could not help wondering whether it would have made any differenco had riio been undeceived. It was something he should never know, for h6 did not cac to have the wife of another know that she came nearer to his heart than any lady whom he bad ever cist. , Why don't you become eneaced again"?" asked Sauder.

It would deprive Miss Clarissa of two payments," "And I should be taking an -- awful risk. No, Sander, it won't do. We must think of something else." For several minutes there was silence between the two young men. Then Sander startled his friend by springing to his feet with a most exultant shout. "I have it!" he said. "Tom, I can help you out of this scrape like magic. I know the very girl. " "You do? Old boy, if you help me now, I'll never forget it." "I have a cousin" - "Have I seen her?"' "No; she livesjin the country." "Pretty?" "Pretty as a picture graceful, too, and very well read. Sho is a stunner and no mistake, but" . "Well, don't hesitate. But what?" "Sho has an awful temper." "That doesn't count. I may show you an interesting case of 'Taming of the Shrew. ' It would add variety to my humdrum existence. Really, X, believe I should like it." ''Well, suppose you sit down aud write a note, explaining the sftuation fully. Daisy hates anything like de- ceit." "Do you mean that I must tell her that I want to bo engaged to her for a period as long as the law allows that I "Tom, lean hcjp.you out of thlscrape." may evade the matrimonial tax, and that she must agree.beforehand to dis- miss me at the end of that time?" "Precisely. Daisy would try to mako life a burden to yon if sho thought you were deceiving her." "Do you suppose sho will consent to such an arrangement?" "I think so. Sho wishes to study music and has decided not to marry be- fore her twenty-sixt- h birthday. She is 21 now and has property enough to en- able her to take care of herself, so sho cares nothing for the maiden's pay day. I think sho would liko an escort who would not trouble her with a lover's importunities and who would act as a shield between herself and possible lovers." "It will do no harm to propose, at any rate." Tom wrote the letter, as his friend had suggested, sealed it carefully, ad- dressed it to Miss Margaret Blake and gave it to Sander to deliver. Sander in- closed it in one giving full particulars, and an duo time Tom received the fol- lowing reply . Mr. Tom Wainwright: Dbar Sir I have jnst finished reading your proposal aud my cousin's pleasant account of you, vrhich ho "was so good as to send with the proposal.

Tom found this letter quite satisfac tory and could hardly wait for tho day when he was to see Miss Margaret, or Daisy, as her cousin called her and as he liked to think of her.

POOKCIBL ItECEJTES A FORTUNE.

Peter Kelly was living with hisparents in Lancashire, England, whenthe Australian ygld craze broke out andhe went to that land to make his for-tune. Nothing was "heard of him untilnearly a quarter of a century ago, whenhis mother received word that he wouldsoon retnrn home a millionaire. He didnot come, however. Inquiry was begunand the son's story of his millions wasverified, part of tho money being inAustralian banks. Tho family receivedthe interest on l'he fortune," which wasvalued at $15,000,000. Some time agoKelly learned of tho existence of a willin which all of the estatewas bequeathed.to his eldest child, Elizabeth. At thattime he made no effort to secure it. Twoyears ago he engaged an attorney, whohas declared that the enormous legacywill bo placed at the disposal of the girlthis week.

ItwasuH "&o&9& mswnow the middleof November ,and as morethan six months had elapsed since thatrejection he knew it wouW:HOt be rec-ognized in the eyes of the law as a suffi-
cient reason why he should not bo taxed..ycwBg4ady

In the stato where he lived there asa law to the effectr thatevery bachelor-shoul- d

married condition which forced so manyweinen to competo with men in thetlatwr market Taxes were lCviedJn ac-
cordance with the eligibility of thebachelor, and tho mgney derived' there- -irom was used m the support of unpio-tecte- d
women., ,
Tom Wainwright, being 0 years pfago, handsome, prosperous and in everyway nble-t- p carefor.a wifeihadJfor.fi.yoyears been obliged to pay a tax whichhe considered out of all reason. Notonly that, but ho knew thatforthe nextten years the tax would be steadily in-
creased. He had on several occasionsevaded it by engaging himself to Borneattractive maiden, then, when tho dan-ger of taxation "was past for that year,causing a quarrel which resulted in hisdismissal, but the authorities had be-
come suspicious, and Tom had reasonto believe that another such event wouldbe closoly investigated. Clearly he mustfind some new and yet plausible way toevade tho tax on bachelors this year ordeprive himself of many luxuries whichhe was sure he could not lo without.
Down at his clubhouse his friendswere entertaining a guest from abroad,"and Tom ought to havo shed the lightof his cheerful smile on tho scene. Heknew very well that tho fellows neverenjoyed themselves quite so well whenhe was absent, but ho felt in no moodfor merrymaking tonight. He donneddressing-gow- n and slippers, set a box ofchoice cigars on the table, which he push-ed close beshle the open grato; then,throwing himself into his most invitingeasy chair, gave himself to the problemwhich confronted him. Ho had thoughtof no feasible solution whon, the guest,from abroad haying been sufficientlyentertained, Tom was joined by SanderRidgway, his most intimate club friend,
"What's up, old fellow?" askedSander, helping himself to an easychair aud a cigar. "We missed you atthe club."
"I was too stupid to make a decentappearance, so preferred to remain athome. Have a good time?"
"Tiptop! I wish you could have metthat fellow, Tom. What ails you, any-how? Yon look decidedly morbid. "
"I feel morbid. Business has beendull the past year, aud it is almost time .
for that confounded matrimonial tax.""You must have a big one to pay to
make you look like this.""It was $5,000 last year, and it will
be heavier this. Confound such a law,anyhow ! I believe it would be better to
"let women scratch for themselves, asthey used to do in the good old days of
' 'our grandm.oth ers."Oh, I don't know about that!
Women's work cheapens labor, youknow. That fs one renson why the mat-rimonial tax becamo a law. And, afterall, you would not like to see womenobliged to care for themselves. It wouldlook very bad for tho men. "
"I know it, Sander. I presume I'mselfish, but, really, this tax is as hardto pay as a doctor's bill."
"Then why don't you marry? Youcould support a wife on $5,000 a year. "
"I have not yet seen any one whowas worth the price of my freedom.No, thank you, Sander. I'd rather paythe money and live alone. But I don'tsee just where the money is to comefrom. There's the rub. I shall be oblig-ed to take a cheaper room, discharge myvalet, take meals at a. second class res-
taurant and smoko 5 centers. ""That's where the law gets in its
vork, my boy. By a steadily increasingpressure of self denial "
"It is ontrageous !""It gives you a choice. For my part
I prefer matrimony. ""Is that a fact?" u."It is." .
"Who is the young lady?""Miss Alice Griggs. ""O-ii-h-- Ahem! Is that is that
why she refused me?' '"I presume it had something to do
with it. my boy.. She is a very sensibleyoung lady.1 ' -
"Tastes differ. However, I think sheis. I congratulate yen, Sander. Youknow, of course, that there was no serious lovemaking between us."
"To be sure. Alice said she suspectedthat you were fishing for a refusal, andso she accommodated .yous"
"I wish I had not given her the opportunity to accommodate me quite soearly in the season. It might havehelped me out o this difficulty had Ibeen less premature with my proposal."
Tom did. not choose to have it knownthat lie had been so carried away by thecharms of the lovely Alice that he hadproposed without- - a thouglrt of the con-sequences. It was a mistake which hedid not make very often. He almost envied Sander, but he did not propose tohavo that known either. He was gladnow that Alico had believed his love- -Hiaking to have been for the purpose ofsecuring a refusal, yet he could not helpwondering whether it would have madeany differenco had riio been undeceived.It was something he should neverknow, for h6 did not cac to have thewife of another know that she camenearer to his heart than any lady whomhe bad ever cist. ,
Why don't you become eneacedagain"?" asked Sauder.
I have gone .my limit ia that direction," replied Torn. "If I am .party toanother broken engagement, I Khali bosabject to a heavy fine."

"I'd rather be dead than be ebligcdtp marry her. She would never let meoff of her own accord." Besides she is38 oc 28 years pld,. She would notnrakesuch an arrangement unless she thought
e. in earnest, for it would deprive herof her pension: "
"I don't understand.""Don't you know that if a woman
receives no proposal of marriage be-
tween thq. twenty-fift- h and thirtiethyears she receives an"' extra amount ofmoney,-o- n. pay day which is called apension for the unprotected? This pen-si- on
is paid once in three years, after-th- e
"age of 30, to those who have notrejected a suitor since the last payment.Even if I could make up my mind tdactas Miss Clarissa's escort during thenext three years I doubt if she wouldbe willing to consent to the arrange- -meht, unless she meant to hold me to itat the end of that time."- '.'I had forgotten the pension law. It
would deprive Miss Clarissa of twopayments,"
"And I should be taking an -- awfulrisk. No, Sander, it won't do. We mustthink of something else."
For several minutes there was silencebetween the two young men. ThenSander startled his friend by springingto his feet with a most exultant shout.
"I have it!" he said. "Tom, I canhelp you out of this scrape like magic.I know the very girl. "
"You do? Old boy, if you help menow, I'll never forget it."
"I have a cousin" -
"Have I seen her?"'"No; she livesjin the country.""Pretty?""Pretty as a picture graceful, too,
and very well read. Sho is a stunnerand no mistake, but"
. "Well, don't hesitate. But what?""Sho has an awful temper.""That doesn't count. I may show
you an interesting case of 'Taming ofthe Shrew. ' It would add variety to myhumdrum existence. Really, X, believe Ishould like it."
''Well, suppose you sit down audwrite a note, explaining the sftuationfully. Daisy hates anything like de-
ceit.""Do you mean that I must tell her
that I want to bo engaged to her for aperiod as long as the law allows that I
"Tom, lean hcjp.you out of thlscrape."may evade the matrimonial tax, andthat she must agree.beforehand to dis-
miss me at the end of that time?""Precisely. Daisy would try to mako
life a burden to yon if sho thought youwere deceiving her."
"Do you suppose sho will consent tosuch an arrangement?"
"I think so. Sho wishes to studymusic and has decided not to marry be-
fore her twenty-sixt- h birthday. She is21 now and has property enough to en-
able her to take care of herself, so shocares nothing for the maiden's pay day.I think sho would liko an escort whowould not trouble her with a lover'simportunities and who would act as ashield between herself and possiblelovers."
"It will do no harm to propose, atany rate."
Tom wrote the letter, as his friendhad suggested, sealed it carefully, ad-
dressed it to Miss Margaret Blake andgave it to Sander to deliver. Sander in-
closed it in one giving full particulars,and an duo time Tom received the fol-lowing reply .Mr. Tom Wainwright:
Dbar Sir I have jnst finished reading yourproposal aud my cousin's pleasant account ofyou, vrhich ho "was so good as to send with theproposal. In reply, I will say that I agreo toconsider myself your betrothed for a period ofthrco years and to release yon at the end ofthat time, provided you conduct yourself dur-ing that time as a gentleman should towardtho lady whom ho esteems highly, hut . doesnot expect to marry. I do not liko endearments, hut I understand that society is some-what exacting in regard, to the hehavior of en-gaged people, and I shall try to so conductmyself that wo may not bo commented upon.I can: sec that you would prefer not to have itknown that wo are engaged simply for convenience. It will please me to havo a desirableescort during my stay in town, and CousinSander assures me that I shall find you simplyperfect. I wonder what he has told you aboutme. That I have an abominable temper, Ipresume. He considers that my chief characteristic Well, it is had, but console yourselfwith the thought that, so far as I know, it isthe only fault I have!

Tom found this letter quite satisfactory and could hardly wait for tho daywhen he was to see Miss Margaret, orDaisy, as her cousin called her and ashe liked to think of her. A number ofhis best friends knew of his good fortune in finding a charming girl whoWas willing to be engaged to him for aperiod of three years and to give himhis liberty at the end of that iime.
"It will," heexplained, ".not depriveme of my freedom in any sense of theterm. In fact, it will give me greaterfreedom. I can be pleasant with othergirls without their thinking that I ammaking love, and even if I should fallin lovo with one of them my engage-ment to Daisy will not prevent me fromexplaining matters to the other girl anddeclaring my sentiments, "
It was really quite a nice arrange-ment, and Tom would not have had ampment's uneasiness befere he met MissMargaret had he not overheard two ofhis friends talking about him ono dayat dinner .
f'I wouldn't havo believed TomWainwright would be so simple," saidone of them, "as to gp and engage him- -afelf to a girl whom he bad never seeir'
