money to pay his bills, and 1t had not
occurred to him that it might be as
difficult to spend as to acquire wealth.

You cannot decline to accept what IL
already yours. l understand that the
money has been paid to you by Mr..

Mr.. Bewster, and 1t cannot be denied"
You are right" agreed Montgomery
dejectedly. Really, Mr.. Grant. this
proposition is too much for me. II you
aren't required to give an immediate
answer l want to think it over. 1t

1T is no dream, Mr.. Brewster" smil-
ed the lawyer. "You are face to face
with an amazing reality. Come in to-
morrow morning and see me again.
Think 1t over; study it out. Remem-
Der the conditions of the will and the
conditions that confront you. In the
meantime l shall write to Mr.. Jones,
the executor, and learn from him Just
what he expects YOU to do in order to
carry out his own conception Of the
terms of your uncle's will"
Don't write, Mr.. Grant; telegraph.
And ask him to wire his reply. A year
Is not very long In an affair of this
kind" A moment later he added:
"Hang these family feuds Why
couldn't Uncle James have relented a
bit? He brings endless trouble ON my
innocent head just because Of row
before I was born"
HE was a strange man. As a rule,
one does not carry grudges quite SC
far. But that Is neither here nor there.
His will Is law In this case"
Suppose l succeed in spending all
but a thousand dollars before the ODD
Of next September! I'd lose the seven
millions and be the next thing to a
pauper. That wouldn't be quite like
getting my moneys worth"
1T is a problem. my boy. Think 1t
over very seriously before you come
to decision one way or the other. In
the meantime we can establish beyond
doubt the accuracy Of this inven-
tory"
by all means go ahead, and please

me. believe I'll risk it IL the restric-
tons are not too severe. But II Jones
has puritanical instincts l might as
well give up hope and be satisfied with
what have"
