said Mr.. Grant, after the
n young man had dropped into
a chair in the Office of Grant & Ripley
the next day. Montgomery wore a
slightly bored expression. and it was
evident that he took little interest in
the will of James T. Sedgwick. From
far back in the recesses of memory he
now recalled this long lost brother Of
his mother As very small child he
had seen his Uncle James upon the few
occasions which brought him to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Brewster
But the young man had dined with the
Drews the night before and Barbara
had had more harm for him than usu-
al. 1t was Of her that he was thinking
when he walked into the office of
Swearengen Jones' lawyers.
''The truth is, Mr. Grant. I'd COM

at is not surprising" said Mr.. Grant
genially Every one who knew him in
New York nineteen years ago believed
him TO be dead. He left the city when
you were very small lad, going TO
Australia, think. He was off to seek
his fortune. and he needed 1t pretty
badly when he started out. This let
ter from Mr.. Jones comes like a mes
sage from the dead. Were 1t not that

time, handling affairs Of considerable
Importance for him, I should feel In

think you were told In our note of
yesterday that you are the sole heir.
Well. it may surprise you to learn that
James Sedgwick died possessed of an
estate valued at almost $7,000,0O0."
Montgoms " Brewster sat like one
petrifed, staring blankly at the old
lawyer, who could say startling things
In level voice.
"He owned gold mines and ranches
In the northwest, and there Is no ques-
tion as to their value. Mr.. Jones In
MS letter to us briefly outlines the his
tory Of James Sedgwick from the time

there In 1885 from Australia, and he
was worth $4,000 or $4,000 at the
time. Within FIVE years he was the
owner OF huge ranch. and scarcely
had another five years passed before
be was part owner OF three rich gold
mines. Possessions accumulated rap
