"Was her property inherited?''
Eyes. from her father"
"Why then did not your father have
property
"He did; but he lost it in speculation.
"Ohl Did your son leave property"
"He must have left some, for during

"It was not much when divided, he
said" broke in the mother, "but when
left as a whole it was more than enough
for Annie and myself"

the bar" said the sister, "but, failing to
get practice, he went into the real estate
business

lady or attentive TO any one.

"Witherspoon? 1 never heard the
name before, replied the mother, Did
