We think February will go on record as
being n cold and stormy month, as well as
December and January. There have been
bat few days when the thermometer has
risen much above zero. One day, how
ever it reached 40. and people began to
hope for warmer weather, but in n few
hours it had dropped again to the zero
point. Every Sunday except one has
been stormy, and there have been very
few days when we have not had n taste
of stormy and windy weather We hope
for change during March.

NANNETTE GROTE BRINGS
SUIT FOR INHERITANCE
Demands $4,000 from Her Moth

Mrs. Thomas Collins.

suit in which the mother and step-

ter was begun yesterday before Judge Car
ter, of the Superior Court At the same
time it appeared the purposes of the mother
and daughter are common in that they are
trying to regain possession of money which.
1T is alleged, had been turned over by them
to Thomas E. Collins, the husband and
stepfather. Miss Nannette Grote brings the
suit and the defendants are Thomas Col
Inns and Mrs. Margaret Collins.
Miss Grote is the daughter of the late
Charles f. Grote, who died in St. Louis.

estate, which was to be divided share and
share alike between his widow and daugh-
ter. The latter's Inheritance was placed
In the hands of the mother it is claimed
to be kept by her until the daughter
should become of age. AS alleged, Collins
married Mrs. Grote July IL, 1890 imme-
diately after which he requested her TO
furnish means for support until he could
engage himself in some business when he
promised TO return all the money he had
thus obtained. Later he purchased a drug
store on Indiana avenue, and, as claimed
by the plaintiff. has made profitable bust
ness out OF it, but has refused to pay back
all or the money that was turned over to
him by Mrs. Collins
Miss Grote asks that SIS, 900 be turned
over TO her, which she claims is due her
from her mother and stepfather as her part
of the estate.

CHAPTER XII.
IDRIs DECLARES HIS LOVE

lDRlS DECLARES HIS LOVE.
How long should man have known a
woman before venturing upon a proposal
of love? Such was the question now occu-
plying the mind OF Idris.
He had seen Mademoiselle Riviere three
times only: he had not spent above seven
hours in her presence: yet had they been
seven hundred instead of seven he knew
that his feeling for her would be no
stronger at the end OF that time than at
the beginning. The moon might have its
period OF crescent and wane: not so his
love: its circle was full and complete from
the first moment of his setting eyes upon
her.
She was now the sole object of his
thoughts. All other matters: the quest for
his father, the problem OF the Vikings
skull. were reIegated to the dim and dis
tant future; what were they compared with
the winning of Lorelie2
He found himself continually dwelling
upon her manner towards him at the mo-
ment OF their last parting. He was uncer-
tain whether she was startled only. or
vexed by his act of gaIlantry; whether he
must draw hope or despair from that event.
and he knew not which was the wiser
course-to declare his love at once. or TO
defer the proposal till he had gained a
greater hold upon her affections. A too
premature avowal might be disastrous: on
the other hand 10 be dilatory might lead to
his being forestalled by Viscount Walden
This latter argument prevailed with him.
and ne resolved to see Lorelie at once. and
take the momentous step OF giving utter
ance to his feelings. Even rejection was
preferable 70 the state of suspense in which
he was now living.
On presenting himself at The Cedars he

Accordingly Idris betook himself to this
