rder, I'm prepared to pay you for
your trouble."

"Oh, certainly, certainly!" Here Mr. Owlett took off his spectacles and
polished them. "I suppose you know it's not always a wise thing to draw
up your own Will yourself? You should always let a lawyer draw it up for
you."

"Yes, sir, I've heard that," answered Helmsley, with an air of
respectful attention--"And that's why I've brought the paper to you, for
if there's anything wrong with it, you can put it right, or draw it up
again if you think proper. Only I'd rather not be put to more expense
than I can help."

"Just so!" And the worthy solicitor sighed, as he realised that there
were no "pickings" to be made out of his present visitor--"Have you
brought the document with you?"

"Yes, sir!" Helmsley fumbled in his pocket, and drew out the paper with
a well-assumed air of hesitation; "I'm leaving everything I've got to a
woman who has been like a daughter to me in my old age--my wife and
children are dead--and I've no one that has any blood claim on me--so I

you know, my man, that your name is the same as that of one of the
richest men in the world?"

Helmsley permitted himself to smile.

"Really, sir? You don't say so!"

"Yes, yes!" And Mr. Owlett fixed his spectacles on his nose and beamed
at his humble client through them condescendingly--"One of the richest
men in the world!" And he smacked his lips as though he had just
swallowed a savoury morsel--"Amazing! Now if you were he, your Will
would be a world's affair--a positively world's affair!"

"Would it indeed?" And again Helmsley smiled.

"Everybody would talk of it," proceeded Owlett, lost in rapturous
musing--"The disposal of a rich man's millions is always a most
interesting subject of conversation! And you actually didn't know you
had such a rich namesake?"

"No, sir, I did not."

"Ah well! I suppose you live in the country, and people in the country
seldom hear of the names that are famous in towns. Now let
