" Thcro is no gainsaying tho fact that you are old Dave's own flesh and blood, and I ain't. Juries is uncertain things to bet on, and judges run anyhow. Come, if you are willing to arrange things amicably.so am I." Honest Georgo desired nothing better. Tho family agreed with him, At last a proper legal arrangement was como to by which Peter Webb took £17,000 only, Gcorgo Bell £24,000, and tho ncxtof-kin the balance among thorn. I\\e settlement appeared to givo satisfac tion to all concorned, and as far as anyone could judge there was an end to tho great Bell wi' , -°- , e- Peter was more jubilant over tho under standing which has been arrived at than his previous oxtensivc pretensions warranted. Tho truth was, he believed that tho business could never again be re-opened up,, and that what ho now held could by no legal means bo taken from him. It was to tho witnesses of the will that ho first showed what they pleased totorm "tho cloven hoof." " How oro we going to get along now ?" asked Felix Hind of him, after Peter had deposited tho money in tho bank to bis own credit. " How aro you going to get along ?" re peated the halter contemptuously, " Como, now, I like that, What has it to do with mo ? You may chew cucumbers or eateh flies for amusement for all I care. You havo sucked mo for long enough. Now this matter is settled—finally settled, understand, I shall livo tho life of a gentleman, and want no more truck with the likes of you." Hind sworo fearful tliroats against him, but followed him as might a snarling cur greedy for a bono from the hand that smoto it, John Morgan was a man of different calibro. Straightway ho set out in search of George. "Mr. Bell," said ho when ho found that gentleman, " I have somo information for sale which is of moro valno to you than to anyono olne, Aro yon a buyer f" " I expect bo," was the young man'B quick reply. Tho result of John Morgan's revelations was tho commencement of an action against Peter Webb for tho restitution of tho £17,000, which was alleged to havo been ob tained by fraud, and also to havo DaveßcU's will proved a forgery.
