CADI DE8ERVED THE LEGACY. Persistent Youth Sure Found the Meanest Man. 1 A Turkish story runs that, dying, a $ pious man bequeathed a fortuno to his son, charging him to glvo $500 to k tho meanest man ho could find and I $500 to tho most foolish. " Tho most foolish man Is another , story. As to tho meanest, accounts agreed that a certain cadi filled tho bill. Accordingly tho dutiful son of- j fered him $500, "But I can't take your $500," said tho cadi. "I never know your father. Thore was no reason why ho should . lcavo mo tho money." "It's yours all right," persisted tho mourning youth. "I might tako it in a fictitious transaction," said tho cadi, relenting. ' "Suppose I'll toll you what I'll do. I'll sell you all that snow In tho '; courtyard for $500." j Tho young man agreed, willing to , be quit of his trust on any terms. . Next dny ho wns arrested, taken be- , fore tho cadi and ordored to romovo " his snow at onco, As this was a com- J mund tho young man wns utterly un- fl ablo to execute, ho was fined $100 by i tho cadt for contumacy. I "At least," tho young mnn said ruefully as ho left tho court, "father's $300 went to tho right man."
