"You refuse to marry mef"
Will she refuse?

She asks herself the question. Every
impulse of her heart prompts her to
accept him.
She knows we'll enough that until she
came to Bywater Park the Captain was
Madam's declared heir-that tho objec-
tionable will is of late origin. If she
refuses to be his wife she plunges him
into poverty he mover would have

hand, his egot;sm is so great. that if she
should consent, Will he not suspect the
secret she has guarded SO jealousy :?
Rather than that he should know she
really loved him irrespective of fortune,
Loo had rather lose oil.
Shall she refusep Poverty is their
portion if she does. She knows well
enough the Captain has no trade or pro-
fession, and no prospects save those he
has been taught to look for as the heir
of Bywater Park. To refuse now is to
strip him of all the appanages he has for
years considered his very own. 10 re-
fuse is to doom herself forever to the
third-foor back bed-rooms-the sham
pianos of the McGillicuddy regime; !;

house. These reasons marshal them
selves in line before her as the Captain
again repeats, in a tone of disappoint-
ment:
"Then you refuse to be my wife?"
Loo shuts hor teeth; she looks ut
Hazard, and her resolution is taken.
NO." she says, al do not"
A red flame leaps into his sallow
cheeks. Whether it is caused by
feeling of satisfaction or disappoint-
ment is impossible to guess.

"but you are not to suppose that any
other than mercenary motive actu-

things when you came to Bywater
Park. But 1 deserve a great deal;
don't spare me-"
NO" says Loo, hysterically, IL
won't"
And then she breaks down COM
pletely.
More than on hour has elapsed since
Mr.. Bolton and the lawyer left the
Madam's heirs alone in the back par
lor, to arrive at a conclusion.
Mr.. Frederic Bolton has passed
away the time in pacing up and down
the hall outside the parlor door, mo-
mentarily expecting to see either Lou
or the Captain omerge from the room
to announce their decision.
Mr.. Bolton becomes impatient at
last. He coughs. Nobody comes
Then he carefully approaches the door
itself, and coughs again.
Still nobody comes. Mr.. Bolton is
consuming with impatienco. He won
ders if Lou will be so foolish rs to
throw away an Inheritance like that of
Bywatcr Park. If she does she is no
true daughter of his. SO far as Bolton
is concerned personally, he would not
hesitate to make marriage himself.
providing the pill was gllded highly
enough.
He can wait no longer. His curiosity
is burning him up. He taps at the
door. Silence. Mr.. Bolton feels o
natural alarm. Perhaps they are dead.
He turns the door knob softly and
peers through q crevice as the door
swings gently back. He need feel
no alarm. The first words that salute
the ears of the anxious parent dissipate
his fears.
He secs Loo standing by the long
window with the Captains arms about
her, and she is quoting, evidently in
response to somc confession of his fol-
lies which the Captain has just made:
-They say. best men aro nodded out OF faults;
And for the most part, become much moro the
better
For being a little bad
Mr.. Frederic Bolton whistles softly
beneath his breath. He shuts up the
door as carefully as he has opened it,
and goes away with his mind at rest.
He knows now, quite as well as Mr..
Toby knows few hours later on, that
Bywater Park will remain in possession
of the natural heirs.

Postmaster Gray, at Gain. Lamar county.

escaped. Gray lived an hour and gave the
following accounto of the affair:
A few days ago a package came to the
Office addressed to Cain" No person living
there bearing that name, he returned it To
the sender. A man named Burrows called
for the package, and being told 1t had been
r, turned, asked Gray il he had seen its con-

shot him, and threatoncd to shoot Mrs. Gray

brother Jim was caught and carried back TO

officer had them IN charge, taking them to
police headquarters. At the foot OF tho steps
both dashed for liberty, Rube escaping,

to interrupt them. Rube was subsequently

" How he must

But Bolton is entirely too lazy to feel
10 strong an emotion rs that of hatred.
So, while he envics his moro fortunate
rival, and curses his own ill-luck, he
feels no other pang, as ho congratulates
the Captain beforehand on his pros
pectivo good fortune.
The funeral over, Mr.. Bolton takes
his daughter and makes ready for their
speedy return to the old rooms in Mrs.
McGillicuddy's boarding house.
But this the Captain objects to so
strenuously that Bolton, nothing loath,
consents to remain at Bywnter Park,
until after the reading of Madam's will,
any way.
Madam had rested in her stone grave
just three weeks when this important
event transpired. One morning Mr..
Toby notified Madam's bercaved rela-
tives that, aSrecablJ to the wishes of
his late client, he would, on certain
day Of u certain week, in month that
had been particularly specified by her,
make kn0wn her last will and testa-
ment to her heirs.
Promptly at tho time and place men
toned the lawyer appears, with the all
important document in his hands.
Mr.. Toby is q roly-poly man, with q
frosty mustache and u shining poll. He
is Presbyterian in creed, lawyer by
profession, and Democrat in politics,
and for years has been the chief man
ager of Madam's business affairs. He
now stands in the back parlor ut By
water Park, with the late Madam's
three heirs before him, and her last
will and testament lying on o table
close by.
The Captain glances covcrtly ut Loo
as the lawyer takes up the document,
and, unrolling it, proceeds to read
thcrcfrcm.
As Mr.. Toby reads he cannot help
but feel tho amaXement that ID depicted
upon the faces of his auditors as they
listen to the provisions OF that remark
able document.
Mr.. Toby reads to the end Of the last
page. Not word is spoken by any of

the sheet. momcntnrily expecting a
burst of Indignation from one or all of

Utter silence grects him, rs Mr..
Toby finishes his reading and looks
about him, Tho will has taken them
all by surprise.
Mr.. Frederic Bottoms face is ex-
pressive of p'acid satisfaction. There
js look of intense astonishment on
that of Captain Hazard, and Loo has
turned scarlet, porsstently avoiding
tho Captains eye.
Still, she is calm enough, to all out

that will accordingly. The will is
loubly abominablc, inasmuch as it
throws the Captains future interests
entirely in Loo's hands, and forces the
Captain into marriage with her, with
poverty as the only alternative.
"You see that you are in for il, Miss
Loo," begins the Captain, commser-
atingly. "My interests are Mt your
mercy. and blessed are the merciful. 1
hope you will keep that in raind when

says tho Captain, stoutly. IL am anx-

"Thcy are not so to me-"
Hazard sits down, feeling very much
rs if n wet blanket had been thrown
over him. He has never been quite
'uro of Miss Loo; still, there have been
times when he has taken courage and
hoped that all would como right in the
course of time. The present attitude
doesn't argue very favorabiy for his
hopes. Hazard wonders vaguely to
