IN & anyone had accused Clinton
Calorme Of being in love with the
little woman he took pleasure in
walking with on the sands he would
have been very indignant. He was

approaching him.

she said, placing in his hand a minfa-
ture of an old man whom he remem-
bered having been with when he died
In India. "She wanted me to ask you
II you couldn't come over to the cot
tage tonight. She's very badly, 1 am
afraid" added the girl sadly.
Clinton Calorme followed her. With

arms, Mr.. Calorme, and left in your
hands will which you duly forward
ed to this country to its proper execu-
tors. My uncle was a man of great
eccentricity, and that will, while it
put me in possession Of this entire
property, contained a condition that
will cause this property to revert to
you In the event of my dying unmar-
ried and without natural heirs. In
case of my marriage and the failure
Of natural heirs, the will permits me
