illiterate and pleads that fact as a
reason why she should not be forced

what she was signing and that her
signature was obtained by undue in
fuence and fraud.

bina. sued Mrs. Mclaughlin to compel
her to execute the deed They alleged

Edwin Brewster's million-his final re-
port to Swearengen Jones, executor Of
James Sedgwick's will. On the floor
were bundles Of packages carefully
wrapped and tied, and on the table
was the long sheet of white paper on
which the report was being drawn.
The packages contained receipts-thOu-
sands upon thousands Of them-for the
dollars he had spent in less than a
year. They were there for the inspec-
ton Of Swearengen Jones, faithfully
and honorably kept, as if the old west
erner would go over in detail the count
less documents.
He had the accounts balanced up to
the hour. On the long sheet lay the
record of his ruthlessness, the epitaph
Of a million. In his pocket was exact
" $79.OS. This was to last him for
less than forty-eight hours, and then
it would go to join the rest. 1t was
his plan to visit Grant & Ripley on the
afternoon of the 22d and to read the
report to them in anticipation Of the
meeting with Jones On the day follow
ing.
Just before noon, after his encounter
with Mrs. Gray, he came downstairs
and boldly, for the first time in days,
sought out Peggy. There was the old
smile in his eyes and the old heartiness
in his voice when he came upon her
in the library. She was not reading.
Books, pleasures and all the joys OF
life had fed from her mind, and she
thought only of the disaster that was
coming to the boy she had always
loved. His heart smote him as he
looked into the deep, somber, fright
ened eyes, running over with love ana
fear for him.
Peggy, do you think I'm worth any
thing more from your mother? DO you
think she will ask me to live here any
longer?" he asked steadily, taking her
hand in his. Hers was cold, his as not
