away and felt greatly relieved when he
saw her return Good news. my boy"
she said before taking OF any Of her ap-
parel My Uhcle Da Bois. VINO lived
at Amiens has left me = lot OF property
worth nearly five hundred thousand
francS he died nearly year ago and
they have been trying 50 find me ever
since. But some OF my relations over
there are trying 70 swiRale me out oft
They say my uncle was insane when he
made his viii and did hot know what he
Was doing"
What did the lawyers have TO say
about il any way?" asked Eugene.
They say there viii be some little
trouble getting the matter settled, but
they DO not doubt that l shall get the
property eventually. Still, it viii take
quite a sum of money to go over there
and fight my greedy relatives. and I
don't know where the money would
come from IL il was not that Mr..
Blodger insists on advancing IL at six
per cent interest, until the affair il
settled and we can pay it back"
"And have you aceepted?" asked
Eugene.
Certainly not told Mr.. Blodger 1
should have TO consult with you first"
answered his mother.
''Well, l suppose we may have to ac-
cept somebody's assistance before it is
all over, for il there is law to be paid
for, ID will take great deal of money
TO do it Then. too, if we are TO go to
France the grocery viii have to be
sold" said Eugene.
''Yes, that is pretty certain. for we
can not take it with US, and it will not
take care of itself here. But before We
take any steps at all in any direction,
we must understand from these lawyers
exactly how the matter stands and what
the exact chances are for my getting
hold of the property" was his mothers
guarded reply. Secretly Eugene re-
joiced at the prospect of going abroad,
and when be thought of the wealth
which might possibly come to them it
struck him that after all he might be in
position to make love to Armida De-
laro. Yet he kept his own counsel and
did not show any extraordinary eager
ness TO press after the wealth. Even
before his mother he restrained him
self. They talked over the matter to-
gether that night and Mrs. Bregy told
her son a great deal more than he had
ever known before regarding her early
history and the noble race OF which she
was descendant She also told him much
about her early life in New York when
she spent her honeymoon in the Quar-
tier Franchise. Eugene was very much
interested and he forced much informa-
from his mother which was entirely new
TO him
This conversation OF course brought
back the occurrences of the past few
months to her mind more vividly and
she could hardly believe that so short a
time since she was dragged down al
most to the cutters of the twin cities.
These thoughts of the past however.
