making up copy Tor the Chicago Times when the postman entered and care Iessly tossed him a letter. Ali was somewhat new to the business. and his shabby suit and rusty shoes gave evi- dence that his cheeks. like angels visits" were few and far between Yet nsspite- of this there was an open. honest expression on the mans face that inspired confidence.
 He picked up the letter. tore it open and began reading:
 los Angeles. Cal. June %. '0i. Dear Nephew When you read this l shall be in my grave My Arizona mines have brought me considerable wealth. anc my lawyer will inform you that 1 have made you Tny heir. but on one condition that you marry May Crayscn, daughter of the man who gave his life to save mine wten the Indians attacked the camp twelve years ago.
 May is heart free as yet. and 1 have reason 10 believe you are the same
 My lawyer. F. B. GoodfTicad. win ar range for you to meet her. Inclosed Is check for Sle0. Come to California iinule- diateiy. Yoar uncle.
 DANIEL T. ROCKWELL
 Hang itr' he circulated IS he sur, veyed the situation. "Id like to know how it would seem to be rich man. Of course anybody would. But why didn't he marry some nice woman him self and have family of his own 10 leave his money to. That would have left me out entirely But-oh. plague take that conditionr'
 Thinking there might be. after all, some modifying clause in the will whereby this annoying feature could be avoided. he arrayed himself in a new suiE bought his ticket aud left Chicago by an early train.
 Arrived in Los Angeles. he immedi- asely sought the office Of F. E. Good friend and introduced himself as Al fred D. Bennett of Chicago. nephew of the late Daniel T. Rockwell.
 Glad to meet you. Mr. Bennett, Take q seat. and we will talk matters over
 There is one feature of my uncle's wifi that gives nle good deal of an noyance. remarked the young man. seating himself near the lawyer
 .Which one is thatg'
 '.The one obllgins me to marry a girl have never seen 1t is perfectly ridiculousr'
 The lawyer laughed til his fat sides shook. why. that's the best part of tLe whole will.''
 The wcrst part. you inean. said Alf desperately, But isn't there any modifying ciause7 There surely must be-
 No. there Is none until you have tried and failed 10 woo and win the lady of your uncie's choice"
 .'I don't suppose the young lady likes the situation any better than do."
 -I don't know that she does. but Miss Grayson had daughters love for your late uncle and humored all his vaga- ries," returned the lawyer. trying to hide his amusement at the young mans irritation.
 Look here. Bennett. Come and sit down and we'll talk business. I admit, if you please. the singu!arity of the condition. though it seems more unac- oountable to you than to me. But you would like the money your uncle has left? Now. frankly. wouldn't you?'
 "Of course l would"
 "Fhaf's honest. and respect you for the admission. Now, listen. You have never met the girl Who knows but an acquaintance may prove satisfactory to both? At any rate, you two must meet. The will specifies that Miss Grayson is spending the summer with her aunt, who owns large olive orchard about sixty miles from the city. l am an old friend of the family. Leave it all to me and I'll arrange a meeting You can then tell whether the condition is en- tirely obnoxious or not. What do you say, young man."
 I'll do as you advise" replied Ali who. having cooled of. was making an effort 10 view the affair in business light. Tt wop't do any harm 10 see the girl
 Three weeks later Bennett took the morning express ont of the city. bound for the little station sixty miles dis tanf. Arriving there. he was disap- pointed to find no conveyance awaiting him aad was just starting for the little hotel. ihe only one that the place could boast. when buggy came rapidly ur to the station platform and stopped
