oh, hum! Oh, hum-l'm so sleepy"
sighed pretty Mrs. Norcross, lounging
back deep into the pile of cushions
around her.
The slow, solemn tick of the big IL
brary clock and an occasional subdued
snap from the fireplace were the only
sounds to disturb the profound still
ness.
Mrs. Norcross sat gazing dreamily at
the logs slowly falling into glowing
Goals and ashes, in her mind a vague
vision of a big, brawny, heavybooted
man being backed into her closet, and
thought she would rather object to the
crushing her gowns would receive in
the process.
"But, then, of course" following up
her train of thought rather drowsily,
'he wouldn't have on big boots; they
would make noise-dear me!''-out
loud-''what was that?" and she sud-
denly sat erect
Surely, she had heard noise in the
direction Of the dining-room.
All was quiet again, however, and
not being an extremely nervous young
woman, Mrs. Norcross subsidized into her
cushions again, thinking she had been
mistaken.
Still an uneasy feeling possessed
her, and she remembered that she had
sent all the servants to bed, saying she
would wait till Mr.. Norcross should
come in.
She picked up the despised novel and
read few lines; but it failed to claim
her attention, and again her eyes
sought the dying embers.
The drowsiness stole over her senses
and she had nearly dropped asleep
when she found herself half out of her
chair, straining every nerve to listen.
Yes, 1t is no mistake this time. She
can plainly hear the catch in one of the
long dining-room windows rafting
gently.
A deadly feeling of suspense creeps
over her, and she starts with gasping
shudder, shrinking as from a physical
oiow as the tall clock softly chimes
the half hour after twelve
Ihe window in the dining-room is
gently raised, and at the sound the
trembling woman suddenly becomes
self-possessed and calm.
Rising softly she turns down the
olaze In the tall lamp, and creeping
out into the hall hastens up the broad
STAIRS and flies along the corridor to
her room.
On the way her quick brain has de-
Vised course of action. The servants
are all at the other end of the house

her for some time and is also supposed
to be in Paris Whether Howard Gould
has taken the time and the opportunity 10

done so.
Charles Frohman's representative has
been interviewed by the New York
Herald. He says it Is fact that Mr.,
Frohman released Miss Tyler from her
contract two weeks before its expiration
simply on the understanding that she was
to marry young Mr. Gould. When the
objection was raised she promptly with
drew from the engagement and signed a
new contract for the coming season.

HEIRS TOA MILLION IN CUBA
A Number Of Savannah Families to
Come Into Biz Estates.

T. b. and Lee Masters, Mrs. Leander
Moore and John and a. T. Pacetti
Fall Heir TO Large Sugar and To-
bacco Plantations Now IN Possession
of the Spanish Government - The
Property Held by the Grown for
Lack of Heirs.
Several Savannah families have re-
Gently discovered that they are heirs to
large estates in Cuba, which, it is stated,
have been in the possession of the gov
eminent for several years because of the
lack of heirs, all the heirs being in this
country. The manner in which this state
of affairs came about, was stated to a
MORNING NEWS reporter by one of the
heirs yesterday.
A number of years ago two brothers
named Andrea Of Spanish descent left
Florida for Cuba and settled at Cardenas,
whore they became very wealthy plan
ters They held no communications with
their brothers and sisters In this coun-
try. Neither of the brothers married,
and both died several years ago without
heirs The fact of their death was not
known TO their relatives in this country.
TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT.
The estates, consisting of large sugar
and tobacco plantations, were taken pos
session of by the Spanish government,
which now has possession of them.
There are, or were, five original heirs,
three sisters and two brothers, of whom
one sister, Mrs. Masters, with her sons
Lee and T. b. Masters, is living in this
city. Mrs. Leander Moore, widow Of
Capt. Leander Moore, and John Pacetti
and A. T. Pecetti, descendants of An
dreu's two sisters, are also heirs. Two
other of the original heirs, a brother and
sister, are living in Jacksonville, and
another sister is living in Tampa. All
the heirs have families, so that the dis
tributiOn of the estate, if it is secured by
the American heirs, will be quite gen
eral.
GOING TO CUBA TO SEE ABOUT IT.
MrsLee Masters received his first In
formation concerning the estate in let
ter from his cousin, J. P. Andrew of Jack
sonville, who has been looking up the
facts in the case, and who is satisfied
from the investigation which he has made
that the estates are very valuable, and
that they can be secured by the American
heirs. He has taken steps to this end,
and has employed attorneys at Washing
ton to represent the heirs with q view TO in
terestinR the department of state and Sc
curing an official investigation of the
status of the estates.
Mr.. Masters said yesterday that he and
his brother will probably leave for Cuba
next week, together with some of the An
dreu family from Jacksonville, to take a
look at the property and get what infor-
nation they can concerning it. There is
no doubt, he said, about the main facts in
the case being correct. The estates are
estimated to be worth over million dol
lars
