pllTou feel They feel that they were not
aniv ordered away from Graystone IN
,nr5nntorv and Insolent manner, but that
t1ay we're IN effect, if not in torn, tired
ttagaud baggage. Iheard Miss Ruby
sorso1f say. after she arrived here on
mnoslav. that she never before was so
i,snifed and treated in so lnsolent
manner as when told by Mr.. Green that
s,a must leave the premises. He came
+nEravstone on Sept. and discharged
oIlof fhe servants but two in the house,
two i'm the grapery aud two on the yacht,
and that. also, right over her head, WITH
ont asking her advice or consulting with
bsrin any waV. Now these girls had been
t,oars. Ruby had been in CHARGE there OF
NO housa servants, who numbered eight
~ nine. This was no little care, anu, as
van can see. she earned the right to re-
nam at Graystone till the Will was pro-

made personally liable"

would have been no question about the
estate bearing the expenses. II so, now
are the expenses that were incurred from
tho time of the Governors death until the
gjrls we're driven out to be provided f0rF
If there is no doubt now as to how the eX-
nenses shall be paid how would there
have been any trouble about the matter
II the girls had been allowed to remain
until the willwas prObatedW
1T is said the expenses were $3oO per
dsy."
True they were; but it had always re-
0uired that sum to run Graystone, with
about twenty servants on the pay roll"
GREEN'S MOTIVES CRITICISED.
"Wel, what was MIR. Green's real mo-
tive for doing what he dld?'
He had been called on to pay some
bills and ne flew into a rage and declared
he would shut up the house right away.
When he ordered the girls out he was In
a state of mind which was not an amla-
bic one. There was poor Mrs. Pelton past
10 wears of age. She came to Graystone
to remain till her New York house should
be repaired and made ready for the WIZ
ter. But she was forced to go to some
friend of her husbands at P0ughkeepsie
the day the girls left Graystone for
Gramercy Park. She Is there now"

''She felt badly about it, but she made
no fuss. You see, she had always upheld
Mr.. Green before the Governors death in
everything he did, and now she, did not
think. perhaps, it would be consistent
should she openly protest against being
hurried away from GrRystOne so rudely.
1t was pretty hard on her and the girls,
you may believe"
Did Mr.. Green consult with Messrs
Bigelow and Smith about closing Gray

Green some cause for Offense."

trary. he had always been extremely kind
to him. Before the Governors death be
used 10 come and go at GraystOne like one
Of the family. The horses and carriages
were al his disposal, and Miss Ruby, who
was then in charge, put herself out of the
way TO make things pleasant for HIM.
And this is how he Tepays her,
the young ladies did not protest
against his orders to yaCRte Graystonep'
"Certainly not. They had before that
told Messrs. Smith and Bigelow that when
necessary they would withdraw. But
they had no idea that they would be al
most pitched out and their traps thrown
after them. Y ct that is just what was
done. And, cOnhdentially, they have said
so ! Though they would not like to 80
declare it publicly. AS might have been

pick up and make ready for removal. all
OF which required a little time. There
was laundry work to be done, with a
