Courant.
GLOW are you,
Eames?" asked the editor.
~ ought to feel happy | suppose"
said the young man, a little ruefuIiy'
''for I've just received notice OF a
legacy"
Indeed! l congratulate you"
"Wait till you hear what it
is"
"Well, what is it?"
"My Aunt Martha has just died,
leaving $5O,OOO."
"To you? I congratulate you
heartily"
NO; she leaves it to q public insti-
tuition. She leaves me only her silver
watch. which she has carried forforty
years"
How is that?"
"She didn't approve of my becom-
ing an artist. She wished me to be q
merchant. If | had consulted her
wishes should doubtless have been
her sole heir. This small legacy is
meant more as an aggravation than
anything else ;,
"Dut you can make your own way. "
81 can earn scanty living at pres
ent. hope to do better by and by.
But you know my admiration for
Mary Brooks; if l had been my Aunt
Martha's sole heir l could have gained
her fathers consent to our marriage.
Now it is hopeless"
81 am not so sure OF that. This leg
acy may help you"
IAN old watch? You are joking"
"Not if you will strictly observe my
directions"
"What are they?"
"Simply this: Agree for one calen-
dar month not to mention or convey
the least idea of the nature Of your
aunt's requests. l will manage the
rest"
II don't at all know what you mean
Bowles," said the young artist, "but
am in your hands"
"That is all wish. Now remember
to express surprise at nothing, but let
matters take their course"

In the next issue of the Chenille
Courant the young artist was sur
prised toread thief ollowingparagraph
We are gratified to record q piece O
good luck which has befallen our es
teemed fellow-citizen, the promising
young artist, Charles Games. By The
will OF an aunt, recently deceased, h'
has come into piece OF property
which has been in the family for many
wears. Miss Eames is reported tt
have left $4,000.
Really" thought the young man
"anybody would naturally suppos'
from this paragraph that | inherited
my aunt's entire property"
He put on his hat and walked down
the street. He met Ezekiel Brooks
president of the Chenille nationa
bank.
Mr.. Brooks beamed with cordiality
"My dear sir, permit me to congrat
ulate you," he said.
"You have read the Courant?" sait
Eames.

Another engagement If James ha
had fifty engagements he would hay
broken them all for the privilege
meeting Mary Brooks.e This was I'll
first time he had been invited to I'll
capitalists table. The fact is, unit
this morning Mr.. Brooks had, scare
ly vouchsafed him more than a CO..
nod on meeting; but his feelings ha
changed, or appeared to, and his b
havior altered with it. Such is Il
way of the world.
TWAS avery pleasant dinner. IL
young artist remained afterward.

said Mr.. Brooks, "a meeting of Il
bank directors. But you mustn't .

The young man did not 60 ava

entertainment hereceived. He bless,
his aunt for her legacy if only it hi

But it gained him more. Every Il

He could not fail to see that Eek
Brooks looked with evident compl
cency on the good understanding |
tween his daughter and himself.
"What will he say thought t
| young man, swhen he finds out VIII

my aunt?"
Occasionally, too, hefelt nervo
about his hasty assent to the proT
