CHAPTER XyI-(Continued.) J


The testatrix. with the exception OF
two or three trifling legacies to servants,
bequeathed what little she had to leave,
including the furniture of the cottage, to
Mary Chichester. This seemed all very
natural and just as it should be to the
half-dozen auditors. with the exception
of Carbuckle enc Ringwood. These two
could not refrain from exchanging a
glance of establishment.
What on earth has she done with her
'Tontine' share?" thought Mr.. Carbuckle;
''she cannot surely have forgotten all
about it. If so, and it should by any
huke happen TO come of in her favor,
there will be a pretty miscarriage of my
poor old friends intentions. She has
don't know how many nephews and nieces,
while Mary Chichester is only her great
niece, and naturally all these others would
come before her."
Here his reflections were interrupted
BY the attorney, who handed him packet
This, you will perceive, Mr. Carbuckle,
is addressed to yourself. l know the con-
tents, having indeed written them out
at the wish of my late client but as it is
a matter placed by the deceased lady en-
tirely in your hands, it is, of course, a
private communication"
This packet" said Carbuckle, as he
and Ringwood returned together TO town.
I have no doubt refers TO that 'Tontine'
share. l wonder why poor Miss Cater
ham has enclosed il to me in this mys-
ferrous manner however, as soon as We
get to my rooms We will see what she
has done. You have been, and are, so
deeply engaged in the affair, that intend
to take you into confidence at once"
As soon as they were comfortably in
stalled in Mr.. Carbuckle's chambers, that
gentleman broke the seal, and drew two
documents from the envelope. The first
was short legal document, by which the
share. numbered 1477. of the Great Ton
tine life nominee, Terence Finnigan,
was bequeathed TO Mary Chichester; the
second was a letter, written at Miss Ca
terham's dictation, in which she told him
that she placed this share in his hands
in trust for Mary Chichester, with the
earnest injunction that the girl was TO
know nothing about it unless the thing
should be actually decided in her favor
The upshot of all this was that Ronald
Ringwood came TO a fresh determination
with regard TO Miss Chichester. Man
has a natural desire to console pretty
woman in her affection, and Ringwood
felt that he could not see Mary in her
sorrow without Offering consolation and
that, over head and ears in love as he
was, that must, of necessity, be of a
somewhat impassioned kind, such as
would be certain to result in a downright
avowal of his love. The objections that
stood in his way before Miss Caterham's
death were there still; and it seemed to
him that it would be now a downright
mean thing TO do to ask Mary to marry
him while in ignorance of her possibly
brilliant prospects. He resolved to hold
aloof from her till the Great Tontine"
was decided He would rather she said
to him nay as possessor of eight thou
sand year than she should unwittingly
come into it as his wife.

One point on which the novice in

the irons perfectly clean before begin
