think tho owner himself did not realize how many thousands it cost as he added conserva tory billiardroom hothouses aviary and other trifles here and there to the original magnificent dwelling or beautified with all the modern improvements theestensive grounds bat tho njost magnificent of homes cannot close its doors to one dread visitor aud a day came when thomas rushton had to be placed in a closefitting casket and ethel bushtou his orphan niece became heiress to all the splendors of rushton manor and a noble income aud her cousin tom the millionaires only son was disinherited with the mookery of a legacy of five hundred dollars she was very young only eighteen when the wealth became hers under the care of the executors until she oornpleted ifer twenty first year but she had been early trained to selfcontrol and a gravity beyond her years by the care of an invalid mother who died six months before thos rushton made his last will for two years she lived iu strict seclusion iu her splendid home with a distant rela tive mrs owen carroll who came to play propriety and share the comforts of rushton manor aud it is with mrs owen carroll and her only son a rising young lawyer not yet thirty years of age that ray story has to do at first she was an essentially worldly woman uearingsixtyrbut carrying her years gracefully under all the modern devices for concealing the ravages of time upon the feminine face aud form he was a tall handsome man with a frank sunny face a true manly heart and a strong wellcultivated brain a man who promis ed to make his mark in the world but lack ing- the worldly wisdom of his mother being generous to a fault and looking upon money as a means not an end they were in thomas rushtons library two years after his death the son pacing slowly up and down the- mother loaning negligently back in a deep armchair screening her face from the glow of the open grate fire it was her clear wellmodulated voice that broke a long silence why do you not tell ine owen how your wooiug succeeded 7 have you wou the heiress i wish you would not speak so of my love for ethel mother her money is not an attraction to me but a drawback if i did not love her so dearly it would be an insurmountable barrier between us sentimental youlare dreadfully like your father but ethel did she refuse you she will give me a decided auswerivlieii we return from pur drive ah tlierc is the carriage now and here is ethel said mrs carroll as a little figure came swiftly down the staircase and into the library are you well wrapped up dear she asked as ethel came in very warmly auntie my furb are wlrm enough for a russian winter are you ready owen at your service was the reply as owens eyes rested lovingly upon the soft dark eyes clustering brown curls and win- some smile of the girl he loved she was not beautiful by no means possessing such beauty as he could claim yet her face was quo to wm love by its sweetness aud to holdforever the affection it gained they drovo slowly down the wide avonue and into the road and then ethel said i want you to drive just where i direct owen and stop where 1 tell you only a short drive not two miles from her stately home followed before the horses were drawn up before a tiny oottago here ethel alighted and owen after fas tening the horses followed lierwondering- ly into the house an old woman received them answering ethels pleasant greeting with vjts a snmmqrs day when you come to see me dearie i want you ti see my old home owen ethel said earn stly the house where i livedjwith rny mother until

that he could see his sois face and by his look of gratitude i knevl was on the right way to find out his v ishes i asked him if he wished to 6ee tom and he made what i had learned bef re was his sign of assent still after i wrc te to tom and read the letter to him pt amising to send it at once he looked troubl jd then it flashed over me that it was t lie will that was grieving him i knew i 11 about it but i could not bring it to my incle to destroy because bis lawyer in i ew york bad possession of it but upoun y knees i promised him that as soon as came of age i would re store his sous i
