CHAPTER Xxx.


1t was fine house-that in which
spent many happy years back in my
young manhood. Not. indeed, SO ele-
CANT and so large as this where l am
now writing, but comfortable. To me,
then, 1t had an atmosphere of romance
and some look Of grandeur. Well, in
those days l had neither a stated eye,
nor govt, nor judgment Of good wine.
1t was who gave it the name Of Fair
acres that day when, coming out Of
the war, we felt its peace and comfort
for the first time, and, dumfounded
with surprise, heard my mother tell the
story Of it.
"My grandfather" said she, twas
the Chevalier Ramon Ducet de Trou-
vile, a brave and gallant man who,
for no good reason, disinherited my
father. The property went to my
uncle, the only other child of the
chevalier, and he, as have told you,
wrote many kind letters to me, and
sent each year a small gift of money.
Well, he died before the war-it was
in March-and, having no children, left
half his fortune to me. You, Ramon,
will remember that long before you
went away to the war a stranger came
to see me one day-a stout man, with
white hair and dark eyes. Do you not
remember? Well, did not tell you
then, because 1 was unable to believe,
that he came to bring the good news.
But he came again after Won left ZIG
and brought me money! draft on &C.
