young Indy who had two sisters, possessing among
them u large fortune. Ills wife died. and by some
means her share of the property lid not fall to him.

in the mean time had arrived at woinanhood BY
her he had one child: after she too, died. and

third sister cnme to maturity. What did our hero
do but court and marry her 'IIe didn't do anything
else" and is now in possession of the whole fortune
