ent law the money received from an estate
is paid into the road fund in the county
in which the estate is settled, while under
the old law the money is paid into the

by the treasurer not a cent was paid In
by Douglas county. Prominent attorneys
here say there is no doubt but that the
courts would uphold the law II it were

the sharp hunting knife, she cut open
the leathern mail bag and turned the
light upon it's contents. The small
private letters she hardly noticed, but
there were three ominous looking pa
pers closed with large red seals, and
these she instantly seized. They were
all directed to the sheriff of Ely, and
she felt sure they were the authority
for Stephens arrest. She took posses

Matilda walked quickly through the

arrived at the three oaks. Yupon

tend disapproval of the Earl and his
Ways-but disapproval tempered
with regret-so that men might not
suspect my opposition. The king was
even then sending to de Wick for
money, and I was supposed to supply
it on the de Wick silver and valuables.
In reality, the Earl sent these things
TO my care, and he himself gave the
gold. Then there came time when
dc Wick was bare, and the king still
wanted money. And the Earl prom
ised to borrow from me one thousand
pounds, in consideration of letters
royal making the Lady Matilda Coun-
tess de Wick in her own right, if her
brother Stephen had no heirs of his
body. Here are the papers relating to
your succession. and here arc those
relating to my trust in the matter of
the de Wick silver and valuables.'
Thus Matilda virtually became mis-
trees of her old home. Anthony was
seldom seen. but Stephen de Wick
came and went, and brought with him
men whose names were not spoken,
and whose business meant much more
than the packs of cards which ap-
peared to be all they cared for. In
fact, Matilda was soon neck deep in
Prince Rupert's plot, and there was no
doubt in her mind that the month of
May would end the life of Oliver Crom-
well, and bring the king to his throne
and the de Wicks to their earldom.
She was sitting, one afternoon, talk
ing, to Stephen, when a servant en-
tered. "My lady" he said, there has

CHANCES at De Wick.

Changes at De Wick.
When Matilda received a letter from
Anthony Lynn, she was Immediately
c"- lain that the old mans conscience
troubled him in the presence of death
and that he wished to return de Wick
10 its rightful owner. Sir Thomas and
Lady Jevery were of the same opinion,
and the two ladies started for de Wick
at once.
Anthony Lynn stood at the door to
meet them. He looked ill and frail,
but hardly like death, and when he
witnessed the delight of the ladies at
the changes made in de Wick, his face
grow almost young in it's pleasure.
Every room in the house was fresh

venerable through age or family asso-

beautiful had been preserved, yet so
much of modern splendor and worth

the rooms were apparently newly fur
