CHAPTER XxVT

The winter set In sharply that year,
like. the sudden frost to the hopes OF
Reuben Culwlck and his second cousin.
1t was severe winter, that nipped
things to the heart before the old year
was seven days dead. A few weeks had
gone by since the date of our last chap
ter, and all with whom we are interested,
or in whom we have endeavored to raise
an interest had settled down to the po-
sition born of the discovery of Miss Hol-
lands good fortune.
Miss Holland had not been found, de-
spite much pertlnacious searching; the
boxes remained unclaimed at Sedge Hill,
and Sedge Hill was held in trust for her.
Those interested In advertisements won
dered who Miss Holland was, and Why
her friends were begging her to return,
and hear OF something to her advantage.
Reuben Culwlck accepted the position
very cheerfully, although Lucy Jennings
thought that he was too cheerful to be
natural He was anxious to see the pro-
visions Of his fathers will carried out
In their entirety, and he showed no sense
of disappointment at the low estate to
which they mfallibly reduced him. He
had confidence In himself. and he was
anxious to do Justice to Mary Holland,
despite the unjust character Of will
which struck him out of atfluence.
He was rising in the world. too The
work grew under his hand, debts became
less, more money fell to his share from
the great lottery-bag Of letters, and If
there were no big prizes, still be drew no
blanks. Among the busy unknown crowd
of clever newspaper men," he was al
ready known, and three weeks ago the
promoters of the Trumpet had burst out
with big Offices and more machinery, and
higher terms for Reuben, who had been
