called 'fashionabless now reside IN these
bewildering caravansaries in preference
To dwelling beneath their own vine and

families IN New York city with wealth
and aristocratic pride have given up their
private homes to live in hotels. An
expert who has studied the hotel bust

lock that would not turn with one OF
baser metal. But these did not reckon
on the hold Miss Hubbell still held on
the social leaders. Society with unex-
pected generosity took up the cause Of
the poor girl who had been wronged
and turned its back on the girl 1t as
sumed had wronged her.
Then 1t was rumored that the de-
ceased had drawn codicil to his will
leaving considerable part Of his es-
tate to Miss Hubbell This codicil had
been appropriated by Miss Terry. Miss
Hubbell commenced suit to break the
will. All would depend upon securing
possession OF slip Of paper on which
the codicil had been written. 1t was
known or at least supposed to be in
the keeping Of Miss Terry or her attor-
neys. Could they be forced to produce
it In court7
Miss Terry surprised every one by
taking the management Of her affairs
into her own hands. She engaged her
lawyers and instructed them In the
method OF their defense. They were ia
admit the existence of the paper in
question, but were to decline to pro-
duce it till compelled to do so In open
court. This course only inflamed Miss
Hubbell's supporters against the heir
ess, and the social doors remained
barred against her
ALI periods Of waiting have an end,
and SO did the suspense attending the
case Of Hubbell versus Terry The
lawyers for the claimant and the law
yers for the defendant came into court
with their satchels full Of papers and
their clerks loaded with law books
Rebecca Hubbell showed great conf
dence, for her lawyers assured her
that they would compel her enemies to
produce the codicil. The most careful
study OF Miss Terry's face failed to re-
veal what she felt Society was pres
ent in large numbers, and for once so
ciety was deeply interested In seeing a
wrong righted.

ever, desire to record their conviction
that in doing the acts charged the de-
PENDANTS were influenced by desire to
benefit the poIicyholders Of the New

defendants themselves neither did nor
could in any way personally profit from
the acts done, and that the evidence con
showed that a large pecuniary
benefit was derived bv the poIicvholders

HubbeIl Versus Terry
Originate


[CriginaI1
When old John TaIiows, childless
widower, became partially blind. peo-
pie wondered how he was going to get
on. " was not long before their anx-
iety was allayed by the announcement
that Rebecca Hubbeli, young lady
socially prominent and much sought
after, had Of her own free viii resign
cd the world to devote herself TO the
poor old man.
Fallows' only descendant was
niece, Jane Terry, the daughter Of his
sister. When Miss HubbeII entered
upon the care of John FalIows. Miss
Terry was schoolgirl. A year later
she was graduated, and it was sup
posed that she would relieve the wo-
man who was giving mp her life to de-
vote 1t to the invalid by taking her
place. But she did not. Then people
began TO talk. A story was circulated
that she was bent rather on frtvoiity
than shutting herself up to be a prey
TO the whins Of a peevish old man.
Miss Ferry gave color to the report by
accepting the offer of woman who
took fancy to her to introduce
her into society. Being attractive, her
social success was looked for by her
friends. Nevertheless she was fail
ure. She was blamed for permitting
Miss HubbeM to do d work that she
should have done herself This feeling
was more pronounced since Miss Hub
bell had been prominent in the circle
to which Miss Terry had been intro
dueed. Besides this, there were num-
Der Of little sayings going about the
origin Of which could not be traced.
When Mrs Al asked Mrs. u. why
Miss Terry did not assume her proper
place with respect to her uncle, Mrs. b.
would say that she had heard II stated
that the old gentleman was so nervous
and irritable that only one Of serene
disposition could manage him. When
Mrs 9. asked Mrs. D. the same ques-
ton. Mrs. ID. would look grave and say
that Miss Terry was jealous OF the in
fuence of that angel over her uncle
and would like to get near him II she
could. It was the old man who kept
her away Whatever truth there was
In these reports, certain It is that they
blocked Miss TeFrys social aspirations,
and after being present at few func-
tons she was dropped.
Then came surprise. John Fallows
died, and instead Of leaving a compe-
tency, as had been supposed. he left
millions. But, as still greater sur
prise, he bequehthed everything to his
niece, Jane Terry. not remembering
Miss Hubbell with a penny. Society
was shocked. Miss Hubbell's sacrifice
was unrequited, while Miss Terry, who
had shirked duty in order to attempt
to assume q place in society, which de-
clined to receive her, was made rich.
A few cynical people predicted that
society might protest with its heart
against such injustice. but that Miss
Terry would open with golden key a
