Belle Rhodes and Reeva Neill, granddaughters of her 0 younger sisters, were Miss Abigail's only liv- ing relatives. Both having been left arphans at an early age, she had reared them together, and the 'old Westcott mansion had always been a home to both. There it was they had speat their early childhood and their vacations during the years they had been at sehool, and both girls had been married in the historic old reception. hall--Belle to a wealthy clubmar] who had more money than | brains, and Reeva to a young law- yer, whom she insisted had plenty of brains, though as yet little mo- ney Miss Abigail frankly accred- ited him with heither.

Shé had summoned the two into her presence, and had presented to each one of her sets of very old and precious family china, stating that the first to break a dish lost all chance of inheriting the fortune, The tousins merely gasped in wordless amazement. ] < "A fortune divided loses prestige," id Miss Abigail; "and therefore the estcott fortune shall not be divid- ed. This is as good a way as any to choose between you. Of course, you're to use the dishes every day," Bhe went on, "and a crack'is just the same as a real break I shall ex- SLC enough to report any breakage at once--but I'll be around every once in a while. myself to see how my old dinner sets are getting on," she added grimly.

'But might as well be now: as later. If you're afraid your servants will break the dishes why don't you look after them yourself?

Miss Abigail, watching the two from behind her big, owlish specta- cles, could scarcely repress a' chiuckle, They were so different, these cou- twins. . Here was Belle, who had erything money could buy, torturing hersélf. with the thought that she might lose the Westcott fortune, and hating Reeva because ghe stood an equal chané¢e of winning it, while Reeva, who had married a poof man, and to whom the winning or losing of Her aunt's fortune would mean so much more than it possibly could to: Belle, a red as calm dnd un- ruffled as though the stake were so many pins instead of millions. Yet Miss. Abigail knew that she was far from being as indifferent as shé ap- peared. "She's a thoroughbred," mused the old lady; "a real West- cote." She found herself hoping that Belle would break the first dish. "Heartless old tyrant!" muttered Belle as the cousins, afrald to trust the fasks to other hands, were pack- ing the dinner sets to take home. Reeva shrugged, "After all, the money is hers. Besides, you have Tess cause for complaint than I. You have no children." Belle stared at her in amazement. "Do you mean you are going to let' little Jack use these dishes." she de- manded. : : "Certainly, 1 intend to play the game according to the rules. She specified that we aré to use no other dishes until the first one is broken and the contest is over."

Needless to say, appetite was. not at its best: in' the Neill household. Reeva's-own hand tremb led whenever she touched the pre- ¢cibug dishes; her days became a sue cession of nerve racking ho%rors and her nights were filled with troubled dreams. Her husband, watching her, be- camp worried. "Dear," he said, on day, "do you think the money is worth all this misery? We've been very happy without your Aunt Abi gai.'s fortune for five years----" agely. "Do you mean that you would give up the Westcott fortune without an- effort?" she demanded. "Why, think what it would mean to us to win! We need money, Bert. And Belle and her husband have every- thing, the grasping pigs! I'm going (to fight for that money to the last dite!' L One day something happened to change her mind. Little Jack pushed a plate off the table at breakfast, but his mother caught it before it struck the floor. Almost hysterical at the fright hé had given her, she jerked him from his chair and spanked him soundly, and.when she 'let him go the child, his eyes blg with fright. ran away sobbing and hid. And then Reeva saw things in their true light. She recalled other itmes lately when her baby had look- ed at her with fright in his big eyes, and had edged away as she drew near; and remembered thit her hus- band 'had grown very quiet and tired locking in the past weeks. "I'm kill- ing their love," she said to herself. "I'm ruining my health and making us all miserable." She sat very stil) thinking. Then, deliberately she took up a cup and threw it to the floor, where it crashed into a hun- dred atoms. "Good-by, Westcott for- tune!" she said. For the first time in weeks she fet free and happy. A monient later Miss Abigail ap- peared in the doorway. "I was just going to see you," Reeva informed gayly. "I broke one of your cups just now on purpose." And ghe il took off her spec the mist in her eyes m proud of you," she said. "You're a real Westcott!" - A little later she disclos ject of her visit.
