 Graysons-
 'Yes. two May Graysons. But am commonly called Magic 10 distinguish me, from my more disnified Cousin May"
 Two May Graysons. It was strange that Lawyer Goodfriend had not men, tioned that fact to him before he came "Mazie. She is a perfect little bundle of sweet mystery" thought Ali. If the May Grayson referred to in the will is but half us bright and winsome as this girl by my side 1 won't find it such a hard matter to live up to that condi ton after all. And yet i don't know that I really want to live up to it now that have seen Mazie."
 Mir. Alfred Bennett found a very cordial welcolle awaiting him at the pleasant home of Mrs Grayson. May Grayson-the May-was nice looking. stately girl of twenty one. with beau tiful crown of nut brown hair and clear. expressive gray eyes. She was bright and intelligent. and he was forced to admit after an hour spent in her com pany that there was nothing of inc mining camp style in her manners. He liked her very well. too. and might have fallen. in love with Ter if he had not met Mazie first. Bright, merry Mazie. She charmed him more and more as days and weeks went by. And yet she studied -tp avoid him in every possible way. and she succeeded almost always in forcing him into tine company of her cousin thus escaping any marked attention he migh; wish te pay to herself
 But this schenling on her part did not lead young Bennett 10 bestow any warmer affection on Miss May. Ere long he made the discovery that his. life would be an intolerabie failure if he wns obliged to live it without Ma zie. The struggle between this love and the desire to gain possession of his decensed linele's wealth was over. and as he arose one morning be an nouneed 10 himself.
 May tirayson may have half the money and the orphan asylum the eth CT half for all l care. I'll be true 10 the love that has crept into my heart. I'll marry Magic if l can win her. With her by my side shall be brave and strong enough 10 earn my own wealth
 Having thus decided iii his own mind. the young man set out for a stroll through the pretty little meadow.
 Suddenly he came upon tiny figure in white. Out for a morning consti- tutionai. Mir. Bennett? she inquired. Tt is an ideal morning. as Cousin May would say"
 You are always thrusting Cousin May at me" Ali returned. with some slight irritation But it Is you I wish to speak with this ideal morning. am going to leave tonight. and I must say something to you before 1 go."
 "We'd be sorry to have you leave us with anything burdening your mind. MT Bennett"
 You know. I.suppose, why l came here?'
 T believe so," she said.
 Well. want 10 inform you that the condition iD my uncle's will can never be compiled with now"
 'Is that soE' came from her lips in feigned surprise. Tt will be such pity for you 10 lose the fortune"
 .'Yes. but I have learned that there is something better than riches. It is love Marie. 1 cannot begin to tell you how tenderly l love you. want you to be my wife"
 What, After all the attentions you have been showing Cousin May?"
 You are responsible for those at tentions.' How else could it be when you persisted in throwing us together so oftenT'
 T think you are very fickle."
 No; I am very constant I haven't ceased loving you a single minute since l first saw you. Can't you love me just little, MazieT'
 I'm afraid not"
 Wont you try to love me. dearest?'
 T don't need to try. Ali" she re piled. looking up into his face with q shy smile.
 You sweet deceiver."' he cried. catching her in his arms and pressing her to his heart. ''You were fooling me all the time"
 ''Yes. for. much as l was growing to love you. I resolved not to let you know" she said freeing herself iron. his arms. because. you see Oh there js Mr. Goodfriendr" she cried rushing forward to greet the lawyer who had come unannouneed. "Oh. l saw it all. children" he said shaking hands first with Magic. then with Aft "I didn't cover my eyes came unexpectedly oa the night ex- press and got here in time for break fast Mrs. Grayson told me I'd find you both down by the meadow l ar rived in time to see that you two have come to an understanding"
 "Ycs. sir said Aif decidedly. ~Tvt concluded to enjoy love in cottage with Magic rather than take Miss Grayson with all my uncle's money"
 Love in 2 cottage. Oh. the refresh Ing youth.- And Goodfriend broke int hearty laugh. in which Mazie. coull pot help. joining. Pardon me. Ben Dest.- said the lawyer. wiping the ] mirth shed tears from his eyes. 'bu1 ron are the victim of your own biun dor
