Do you forget that you are eXpected to be penniless a year from now?" “Wouldn’t you exchange a million for seven millions, Mr. Grant?” “But let me inquire how you purpose doing it '3" asked Mr. Grant mildly. “Why, by the simple process of de struction. Don’t you suppose I can get rid of a million in a year? Great Scott, who wouldn’t do it! All I haw to do is to cut a few purse strings. and there is but one natural conclusion I don’t mind being a pauper for a few hours on the 23d of next September.” ‘ “That is your plan. then?” “Of course. First I shall substan~ tiate all that this will sets forth. When I am assured that there can be no pos- sibility of mistake in the extent of this fortune and my undisputed claim I’ll take steps to get rid of my grandfa- ther’s million in short order.” Brew- ster‘s voice rang true now. The zest of life was coming back. Mr. Grant leaned forward slowly, and his intent, penetrating gaze served as a check to the young fellow‘s enthusiasm. “I admire and approve the sagacity which urges you to exchange a paltry million for a fortune. but it seems to me that you are forgetting the condi- tions,” he said slowly. “Has it occur- red to you that it will be no easy task to spend a million dollars without in some way violating the restrictions in your uncle’s will, thereby losing both fortunes?” “It is no dream. Mr. Brewster," smil- ed the lawyer. “You are face to face with an amazing reality. Come in to- morrow morning and see me again. ”You are right." ug. dejevtedly.

In the meantime I shall write to Mr. Jones, the executor, and learn from him just what he expects you to do in order to carry out his own conception of the terms of your uncle‘s will.” “Don‘t write, Mr. Grant; telegraph. And ask him to wire his reply. A year is not very long in an affair of this kind.” A moment later be added: “Hang these family feuds! Why couldn’t Uncle James have relented a bit? He brings endless trouble on my innocent head just because of a row before I was born.” “He was a strange man. As a rule. one does not carry grudges quite so far. But that is neither here nor there. His will is law in this case." "Suppose I succeed in spending all but a thousand dollars before the 23d of next September! I‘d lose the seven millions and be the next thing to a pauper. That wouldn‘t be quite like getting my money‘s worth." “It is a problem, my boy. Think it over very seriously before you come to a decision one way or the other. In the meantime we can establish beyond a doubt the accuracy of this inven- tory.” “By all means go ahead. and please urge Mr. Jones not to be too hard on me. I believe I’ll risk it if the restric- tions are not too severe. But if Jones has puritanical instincts I might as well give up hope and be satisfied with what I have.” Brewster’s ‘ i- Millions " 1;: it out.

He will undoubtedly require you to keep an expense account and to show some sort of receipt for every dollar you disburse.” “Good Lord! Itexnlze?" “In a general way. I presume." “I‘ll have to employ an army of spendthrifts to devise ways and means for profligacy.” “You forget the item which restrains you from taking anybody into your confidence concerning this matter. Think it over. It may not be so dim- cult after a night’s sleep.” "“it it isn’t 'too difficult to get the night‘s sleep.” All the rest of the day Brewster. wandered about as one in a dream. He was preoccupied and puzzled, and more than one of his old associates, re. ceiving a distant nod in passing, re- sentfully concluded that his wealth was beginning to change him. His brain was so full of statistics, figures and computations that it whirled diz zily, and once he narrowly escaped be- ing run down by a street car. He dined alone at a small French restaurant in one of the side streets. The waiter marveled at the amount of black coffee i That night the little table in his room It Mrs. Gray’s was littered with scraps of pad paper, each covered with an incomprehensible maze of figures. Aft- er dinner he had gone to his own rooms, forgetting that he lived on Fifth avenue. L'ntil long after midnight he smoked and calculated and dreamed. For the first time the immensity of that million thrust itself upon him. It on that very day. Oct. 1, he were to begin the task of spending it he would have but 357 days in'which to accomplish the end. Taking the round sum of $1,000.th as a basis. it was an easy matter to calculate his aver- age daily disbursement. The situation did not look so utterly impossible until he held up the little sheet of paper and ruefully contemplated the result of that simple problem in mathematics. tho mung man consumed and looked hurt “hen he did not touch the quail and lettuce. It meant an avérnge dniiy expendi- ture of $2301.12: for nearly a year. and even then there vcouid be 1:; cents left over. for in providing the result of his rough sum in division he i-ouid ac- count for but $999.9S51L84. Then it oc- curred to him that his money would be drawing interest at .iz-c bunk. "But for each day‘s $2501.12 I am getting seven times as much." he so- liloquized as he finally got into bed. “That means $19,607.84 :1 day. a clear profit of $16.8J6.72. '1‘ hat's pretty good -yes, too good. I wonder if the bank couldn't oblige me by not charging in- terest?” The figures kept adding and subtract- ing themselves as he dozed off. and once during the night he dreamed that Swearengen Jones had sentenced him to eat a million dollars‘ worth of game and salad at the French restaurant. He awoke with the consciousness that he had cried aloud, "i can do it. but a year is not very long in an affair of this kind." It was 9 o’clock when Brewster final- ly rose, and after his tub he felt ready to cope with any problem. even a sub- stantial breakfast. A message had come to him from Mr. Grant of Grant 8.: Ripley. announcing the receipt of im- portant dispatches from Montana and asking him to luncheon at 1. He had time to spare. and as Margaret and Mrs. Gray had gone out he telephoned Ellis to take his horse to the entrance to the park at once.

His hurse was keen for a cunter. and he had reached the obelisk before he (En-w rein. As he was about to cross the carriage road he was nearly run down by Miss Drew in her new French :1 a: i omobile. “I beg your pardon," she cried. "You’re the third person I've run into, so you see I’m not discriminating against you." "i should be flattered even to be run down by you.” "Very well, then, look out.” And she started the machine as if to charge him. She stopped in time and said, with a laugh: “Your gallantry deserves a n -..\"ard W'onldn’t vou rather send u:- horse lxome and come for a ride \\ Dill: me! ’ "My mzm is waiting at Fifty-ninth street. If you'll come that far I’ll go with pleasure” Monty had merely a society acquaint- :1 nve with Miss Drew. He had met her at dinners and dances as he had a host of other girls, but she had impressed him more than the others. Something indescribable took place every time their eyes met. Monty had often won- dered just what that something meant, but he had always realized that it had in it nothing of platonic affection. “It I didn't have to meet her eyes." he had said to himself, “I could go on discussing even politics with her, but the moment she looks at me I know she can see what I’m thinking about." From the first they considered them- selves very good friends. and after their third meeting it seemed perfectly natural that they should call one an- other by their flrst names. Monty knew he was treading on dangerous ground. It never occurred to him' to wonder what Barbara might think of him. He took it as a matter of course that she must feel more than friendly toward him. As they rode through the maze of carriages they bowed fre- quently to friends as they passed. They were conscious that some of the women. noticeably old Miss Dexter, actually turned around and gazed at them. i Almost before Barbara was aware of what was happening they had chang- ied places, and the machine, under Mon- ."ty 3 guidance, was tearing over the ' ground. I “Of all the casual people!” said the ‘ girl, by no means unequal to the ex- ; citement. “I believe you’re kidnaping “Aren‘t you afraid people will talk about us?" asked Monty, with a laugh. “Talk about our riding together in the park? It’s just as safe here as it would be in Fifth avenue. Besides, who cares? I fancy we can stand it.” “You’re a thoroughbred, Barbara. I simply didn’t want you talked about. When I go too far, say the word and drop me.” - “I have a luncheon at 2. but until then we have our ride.” Monty gasped and looked at his watch. “Five minutes to 1!" he cried. The matter of his engagement with the attorney had quite escaped him. In the exhilaration of Miss Drew’s com- panionship he had forgotten even Un- cle James’ millions. ‘ “I’ve got a date at 1 that means life and death to me. Would you mind taking me down to the nearest elevat- edâ€"orâ€"here, let me run it.” We will send you a sample free.

You’re a dear to help me keep my appointment.” “What have you heard from Mon- tuna?” “Seems to me you helped yourself,” she cried after him as he darted up the steps. "Come. up for tea some day and tell me who the lady is.” After he had gone Miss Drew turned to but (-huufl‘eur. who was in the ton- neau; then she laughed unrestrained- ly, and the faintest shadow of a grin stole over the man's face. “Beg pardon, miss,” he said, “but I’d back Mr. Brewster against Four- nier any day.” Only half an hour late, Brewster en- tered the office of Messrs. Grant Rip- ley, flushed, eager and unconscious of the big splotch of mud that decorated his cheek. "Awfuily sorry to have kept you waiting." he apologized. “Sherlock Holmes would say that you had been driving, Mr. Brewster,” said Mr. Ripley. shaking the young man’s hand. “He would miss it, Mr. Ripley. I’ve been flying. What have you heard from Montana?" He could no longer check the impatient question, which came out so suddenly that the attor- neys laughed irresistibly, Brewster joining them an instant later. They laid before him a half dozen telegrams, responses from bankers, lawyers and mine operators in Montana. These messages established beyond doubt the extent 0: James T. Sedgwick’s wealth. It was reported to be even greater than shown by the actual figures. “And what 'does Mr. Jones say?” de- manded Montgomery. “His reply resembles a press dis- patch. He has tried to make himself thoroughly clear. and if there is any- thing left unsaid it is past our com- prehension. I am sorry to inform you, though. that he has paid the telegraph charges," said Mr. Grant, smiling broadly. “Is be rational about it?” asked Montgomery nervously. Mr. Grant gave his partner a quick, significant glance and then drew from his desk the voluminous telegram from Swearengen Jones. It was as follows: Grant Ripley, Yucatan Building.

I hope you will act for me.” - “You don’t want to spend it all in a lump, do you?” asked Mr. Grant, smiling. “We can hardly act as coun- sel for both you and Mr. Jones." Brewster sat silent for a long time, staring hard at the floor. 1. great struggle was going on in his mi m1. "‘He is explicit,” said the attorney, “but it is best to know all the condi- tions before you decide. Have you made up your mind?” “It’s a gamble, and a big 011?th said at last. squaring his shoulders, “but I'll take it.
