Perhaps not" responded Aunt Mar

times, and one wants to think twice be-

this"
Il could not change my mind If l
were to think a thousand tines" said
Ruth. II am just old-fashioned enough
TO believe that there are other things
more necessary to ones happiness than
money"
Every well, you'll do as you choose
about it, of course said Aunt Martha,

Cousin Hugh came Ruth liked him.
but he wasn't Rodney Dare! Millions Of
money wouldn't have tempted her to
marry him If she had had NO lover.
Il suppose you haven't changed your
mind about matters and thingsT' said
Aunt Martha, one day, the week before
Ruth went home.
"Not in the least" replied Ruth
you're a foolish girl" said Aunt
Martha.
Maybe, but think not" responded
Ruth.
When she got home she told Rodney
all about Aunt Martha's plans.
DO you think was foolishY' she
asked, smiling into his face.
II think you're a noble, true hearted
little woman" he answered, and kissed
her. Il hope you'll never regret giving

you with. feel unworthy of such q

There was no sacrifice about n, 4"
said Ruth. Il didn't care for the foF-

Six months later a telegram came
saying that Aunt Martha was dead.
Would Ruth come to the funeral?
Ruth went. and after the funeral she
and cousin Hugh sat down IN the old

reading Of her will.
In 1t she bequeathed to Hugh Trevor
"an property now In her possession, 10
which she had Just title and claim"
with the exception of the old family
Bible. That went to Ruth.
Il have brought my legacy home
with me- she told her mother, on her
return, as she deposited package
wrapped In thick brown paper, and Sc
curely tied up, on the parlor table. On
the wrapper was written: Ruth Tre-

Trevor.

That evening Rodney Dare came In.
Suddenly Ruth bethought her of the
package, which had not been opened.
Il must show you my legacy" she
said, bringing the package. Cut the
strings, Rodney, please"
He did so and Ruth took the old worn
Bible from Its wrappings. AS she did
so, some papers slipped from between
Its pages and fell to the floor. She
stopped and gathered them up. One
was a somewhat bulky document The
other was an envelope, on which her
name was written.
'Here's q letter from Aunt Martha"
she said. and opened It.
AS she read It tender light came
into her face, Then look of SURPRISE
and bewilderment.

looking from Rodney to her mother.

Rodney took the large document from
Ruths lap and unfolded 1t and glanced
over the half-written, half-printed
page.
"It MEANS he said, ''that you're a
wealthy little woman In spite of your
self, Ruth. Your Aunt Martha had
half her property decided to you be-
fore she died. That which she spoke
of In her will was the other half of it,
which had not been decided away, and

"And yet 1t must be so. Read her let

It'll seem clearer to me-"
Rodney read
"My Dear Niece Ruth: do not think
I have very long to lige, therefore l
shall so arrange matters now that
there need be little trouble in disposing
Of what leave behind, when l am
dead. When you told me you could not
fall In with my plan about marriage
with Hugh l was indignant. If had

you were right and was wrong.

heart and the heart is to be trusted

you for your honesty to your woman

armed lover. You did Just right, my
dear niece-tust rightNand to prove
to you that l bear you no illwill for
not falling in with an old woman's
foolish plans, shall have half my
property decided to you at once, so that,
at any time after my death, which
have reason to believe may happen at
any time, and suddenly, all there will
be for you Will be to take possession
God bless you, dear Ruth, and make
you very happy with the man you
have chosen. He ought to be proud of

make him. Sometimes think kindly of
the woman who never got much happi-

bring you more enjoyment than it has
ever brought me-
"Dear Aunt Marthar' satd Ruth, soft.
ly, with tears rolling swiftly down her
cheeks. Il wish she could know how
much thank her for her legacy-and
her letter. Do you know, Rodney, I'm
not sure but value that most?7
