If we told you that your baby was starving, that it actually didn’t get enough to eat, you might resent it. And yet there are thousands of babies who never get the fat they should in their food or who are not able to digest the fat that they do get. Fat is a necessity to your baby. It is baby life and baby beauty. A few drops of Scott’s Emulsion forall little ones one, two and three years of age is better than cream for them. They thrive and grow on it.

ROBERT THE, DEVIL.
(Continued from Ist page.)
aiways Mm the nouse Night, mowers, per- fume and pleasant company.
The stepchildren looked curiously at each other as year after year slid away and said to each other that she would never die.
Many of them died of dropsy and sther watery disorders, and their chil- iren grew up, but at 90 Mistress Chey- alier was still alive—and at 93, al- though, truth to tell, she had shriveled into a brown mummy and sat all day and ofttimes all night in a great wad- ded chair with a hood ‘over it, stuffed about with cushions and propped with pillows and hot water bottles. Her body had mummified, but ber mind was as clear and as crystal as ice.
She would look with her deep black eyes at the faithful mulatto slave wom- an who waited upon her and laugh to herself—a strangely clear laugh to is- sue from such sunken lips.
Sometinies her step-grandchildren would go to see her. When they were children, they were afraid, but as the years passed they got quite used to the sight of the great coffin in one end of the room.
“It is a very comfortable bed,’’ Mis- tress Chevalier would often say. And several times, when she thought the hour had surely come, she made the slave woman and her daughters put it on its trestles and lift her in, and she would lie, waiting for death, gazing with a corpselike smile at the general’s portrait.
At these times the family, in all its branches, rejoiced. There were only a few of the direct line left. Nearly all had married. Some were rich, and some were poor, and all were avaricious.
At last, one morning the faithful mu- lattress found the mistress dead in her coffin. .
Once again the children of the house assembled in the drawing rooms to hear the reading of a will—the women, as usual, a hypocritical row of veiled pleureuses. All were present except the son of Robert.
He had inherited bis father’s hatred, and Mistress Chevalier’s death revived the story of her son’s. So the step- grandson staid away from her burial.
His portion of the estate should be the place itself. But the will ran, “To
my faithful and devoted attendant Cil- la, or Lucilla, Chevaher I leave the place and certain sums of movey at in- terest, herein more fully described and specified. ”’
This Lucilla Chevalier was none oth- er than the mulatto slave woman whose papers of freedom, together with those of her daughters and sons, had been declared before the will was opened.
Therefore was she a legal heir. A gasp of horror ran round the room.
The Chevalier place!
But that was not all. If the surviv- ing relatives of the testator should at- tempt to set aside the conditions of the will in any way, on any grounds, the entire property, real and personal, should go to the dead woman’s phy- siciaa. Between this man and the Chev- aliers there had always been feud and ill favor.
Niobe’s son received a life interest of many thousand dollars, and there were a few legacies here and there among the poorest Guelph-Chevalier tribe.
The mistress’ gold and silver plate, dizmonds and other jewels were locked up in a bank in the city, to be disposed of, in accordance with sealed instruc- tions locked up with them, a year after the reading of the will.
When Robert’s son was told these things, he turned white and then green —a livid, unpleasant shade.
The Chevalier place, his patrimony, left to slayes! And God knew to whom the gold, the silver and the diamonds were left. The sealed instructions with them would undoubtedly reveal further determination on the part of the dead woman to insult and rob the family.
Mistress Chevalier’s coffin had been placed in the family vault, between those of her husband and their little son. By her desire the coffins were on one shelf, touching each other, and cov- ered with a velvet pall, on which she herself had laboriously embroidered the Chevalier coat of arms, with its signifi- cant crest and motto.
The vault was in the. churchyard of old King William, Seaforth, facing the salt marsh and flanked by the ricefields.
Thither went, in his rage, the son of Robert the Devil.
By his direction the mistress’ coffin was dragged out, wrapped in the pall and sunk in the edge of the marsh, with not a stone to do it reverence.
By night came Niobe’s son—who, |
mindful of his life interest, felt ashamed of his cousin’s poor revenge—dug up
the coffin and replaced it, dripping, in ,
the vault. A slave of ‘his let slip the thing toa fellow belonging to Robert.
Again the vault was opened, the cas- |
ket was dragged out by slaves, and in the flare of pine knots was delivered to the marsh—this time in a spot where the salt tides rose daily and flooded the place.
Then the avenger of disappointment and family dishonor met his cousin in the city street and triumphed over him. ‘‘No easy matter, either,’’ he concluded, “for the old mummy case was dam- nably heavy. Find it again, if you cap.’’
He passed fleeringly.
Niobe’s son let the marsh keep its secret and bided his time.
When the year had expired, the vari- ous heads of the tribe met, as if by ap-
pointment, in tne private office ef the president of the bank.
But each one, as he entered, looked haughtily and inquiringly at the oth- ers. At midday the large and ponderous strong box was brought into the office and the key inserted in its intricate lock.
The men and women crowded about the table, squeezing and jostling each other, the women shoving aside their crape veils to see better.
For 50 years and more no one had laid eyes on the once famous Chevalier diamonds.
The box lid was thrown back—all the necks were craned.
The men’s fingers itched for the gold and silver, the women’s for the pre- cious stones,
The box was empty.
Er: pty—save for a folded square of paper, sealed and stamped with an Ara- bic cipher.
‘‘Shall 2 open it?” imquired the prest- dent of the bank, locking from one be- wondered face to another.
‘‘If you please,’” amswered Niobe’s son.
‘Ts there no address?””
**None whatever.’’
Broken open,. the letter ran:
, My Dear Ropert—Sixty years ago I wrong- ed your father. Today Lrepair the wrong as far asI am able., I intended Ieaving my plate end jewels in this box for you, but I prefer to give them to you with my own hands. Come ard take them from me:. Your affectionate grandmother, JUANA DE:RmyvasCHEVALIER.
A card with a mourning border drop- ped from the letter to the table.
Robert picked it up mechanically and read: ‘‘Mistress Geoffrey Robert Chev- alier. At home. The Chevalier vault, King William, Seaforth.’’
“‘God!’’ be ejaculated,. staring at the bit of glazed pasteboard: and then at Wiobe’s son.
Then he seized his hat, pushed his wife aside and rushed from the bank.
From the city to Seaforth station, St. Peter's parish, from the station to the thurchyard, from the churhyard to the marsh.
The tide was up.
For hours he sat looking at the slow- ly recceding water.
Niobe’s son touched him on the shoul- der,
‘*Fool,’> he asked politely, **where did you bury her?’’
‘*There,’? said Robert doggedly, pointing ahead of him.
The marsh was drying, with sucking sounds, under the sun. A slave near by murmured to himself.
They caught one word, them waded to the spot and dug, sank a spade, a log of wood and several other heavier things and watched the quicksand suck them out of sight.
Then they scrambled to the marsh bank and went cach his separate way. —Claude M. Girardeau in. Lippincott’s Magazine.
