up when. the day after hs unclc'a

firm that they would pay him $1,000 n
year until he was twcnty.one.
This surprised him. He visited the
lawyers IN question, but they gave him
10 satisfaction concerning the source
of the money they paid him except
that Il came from fund left by his
father for his education. He went 20
college and graduated when he was
within few months OF coming Of age.
The day he left college, while won
hering what work to take up. he re-
teived letter from an aunt whom he
had never seen or heard Of telling HIN
That he was 10 come 10 live with her,
Here was another surprise. II seemed

cached an age when he felt compe-

George met Miss Harwood the same

What was his surprise TO find after
becoming on intimate terms with Re
becca Harwood to hear from her that
her aunt before his arrival had warn.
| cd her against him as she had warned
him against her. His aunt had told
her that there was business In which
Miss llnrwoodl was half owner
and the owner of the other half was
the son of her fathers partner. Her
father, who had recently died, had ar
ranged that she should marry this
son and that he should conduct the
( bnsiness owned by the two.
SO that was the reason why George
was not to fall in love with Rebecca.
What the deuce did his aunt mean
such being the case by bringing him
under the same roof with the young
heiress? Not only did she do this, but
he had not been In the house three
days before she took herself off some
where, leaving him and Rebecca alone
In the house, chnperoned by an old
woman housekeeper. lie had nothing
to do, no one 10 talk to but Rehecca.
One might as well have put savory
dish before u hungry man and tell him
not to eat lt.
The result was that Rebecca and
George fell desperately In love with
each other and the day his aunt was
to return walked Off together and were
married. They sent her telegram an
nounclng that they had spoiled the
plans fate had laid for Rebecca and
wished to know what next they should
do. George certainly did not expect his
aunt to have any consideration for
him thereafter.
An answer to the dispatch was re-
celved us follows:
"Come home"
They took the next train, and when
they arrived the aunt met them In the
hall.
TITS all your fault, aunt" George
hurried to say, "You had no business
to throw US together"
"Of course It's my fault. and took
