HUNTING WILL
Of POOR MAN WHO
LEFT $500,00O
Woman First of Many Rela-
tives to Arrive in Quest of
DR.. Meyers's Estate.

One relative. the advance guard OF
many who are interested in the dlspo-
sit,on OF $4,000 left by DIR. Charles r.
Meyers OF No. 81 West Ferty-elghth
street, who died surrounded by every
evidence Of poverty Tuesday night, ar
rived in New York to-day. She is Mrs.
Baker, a sister, OF Brookline, Mass, who
Is stopping at the Hotel Navarro.
With fear and trembling Mrs. Baker
has begun a search for a second Will
made by DR.. Meyers. which Is said to
set aside his first will. which gave his
property 10 his relatives. turning his
half = million dollar estate over to
churches and charitable institutions.
Or. Meyers had been for years a quasi
r~ecl.se, lie lived In one room In the
basement NJ the rouse which he owned
at Nc. 3u West Forty-e.ghtk street. In
1t he PREPARED his food. ate his modest
meals slept and transacted his busi-
ness.
Although an inventory OF his property
shows that he owned about twenty
houses in New York City. as we'll as
bonds. stocks and securities. he always
conducted himself as a poor man. It
Is even said that the Illness which re-
suited In his death was largely due 10
an insuflclency OF food.
Several years ago DR.. Meyers had s.
A.. Singerman. an attorney, at No. 50
Nassau street. draw up n first Will for
him. In this Will he Is supposed to
have left his property TO his relatives,
SURE SECOND WILL GIVES ES-
TATE TO CHARITY.
Later he decided 10 make a new will.
To avoid the expense OF an attorney
he drew It up himself. 1t was Witnessed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas p. Burke, Of
No. $40 West Forty-e!ghth street.
Mr., Burke said he was not permitted

had q nodding acquaintance with her.
1t was the girl at the drug store VINO
sold soda water. and he had asked her
some hundreds of times for vanilla
or a chocolate" but 1t wasn't this vni-

she made him a soul in that moment.
She awakened the boy; his collar felt
tight. his cheeks grew hot. He felt

She made him want to cry. These
were the physical sensations--the ma
terial part of the awakening. The rest
went on deeply inside OF Dan. She
broke his heart: then she healed 1t.
She made him want to cry like girl;
then she wiped his tears.
The little boy settled back and grew
more comfortable and listened, and
what she sang was.
From Greenland's icy mountains.
From India's coral stra-ands."
Before the hymn reached It's end he
was a calm boy again, and the hymn
took up its pictures and became like

would gather wreaths Of coral from
the stra-ands and give them to the
girl with the yellow hair. When he
and his father came out together from
the church. Dan chose the street that
passed the soda fountain drug store
and peeped in. 1t was dark and cool,
and behind the counter the drug clerk
mixed the summer drinks: and the
drug clerk mixed them from that time
ever afterward-for the girl with the
yellow hair never showed up in Blair
town again. She went away!

cosmetic box and even popular drinks
were named for her.
The night of the Osdene box party
was the reopening of "Mandalay," and
the curtain went up after the over
ture to an outburst of applause. Dan
Blair had never crossed the pond
before this memorable visit when he
had gone straight out to Osdene Park.
London theaters and London itself. in
deed. were unexplored by him. He
had seen what there was to be seen
of the opera bouffe in his own coun-
try. but the brilliant, perfect perform
ance of a company at the London
Gaiety he had yet to enjoy.
The opening scene of "Mandalay" Is
oriental; the burst of music and the
tinkling of the silvery temple bells
and the effect of an extremely blue
sea, made Dan sit up" as he put 1t.
The theatrical picture was so perfect
that he lifted his head. pushed his
chair back to enjoy. He was thus
close to the duchess. With invigorat-
ing young enthusiasm the boy drew in
his breath and waited to be amused
and to hear. The tunes he already
knew before the orchestra began to
charm his e1r.
On landing at Plymouth Dan had
been keen to feel that he was really
stepping into the world. and at Os-

delightful. 1t was like taking child
to a pantomime. She was wearing his
flowers and displaying jewel that he
had found and bought for her. and
which she had not hesitated to accept.
She watched his eager face and his
pleasure unaffected and keen. She
could not believe that this young man
was master of ten million pounds.

young fellow with the others stood in

pockets, looking at the stage. There
wasn't girl in the chorus as pretty
as this prima donna! Lefty Lane
came on in "Mandalay" in the first act
in the dress of a fashionable princess.
She was modish and worldly. For the

Only Lady Galorey hesitated. disap-
pointed.
TOO bad had specially arranged
for Lady Grandcourt to drive over
with Eileen. thought 1t would be n
ripping chance for her to see DAN"
When at length the duchess had sue
ceeded in getting Dan to herself to-
ward the end of the day in the red
room. after tea. she said:
80 you won't marry London
beauty"
And rather coldly Dan had an
swered:
why. you talk. all Of you. as II
had only to ask any girl Of them. and
she would jump down my throat"
Don't try It," the duchess answered.

Dan did not reply for n second, but
he looked at her more seriously. con-
scious Of her grace and her good
looks. She was certainly better to
look at than the simple girls with
their big hands. small wits. long faces
and. as the boy expressed It. utter
lack on get-up." The duchess shone
out to advantage.
why don't you talk to me?" she
asked softly. You know you would
rather talk to me than the Others"
YES" he said frankly: they make
me nervous"
And dont?"
NO" he said. "I learn lot every
time We are together"
Learn" she repeated. not particu.
larly flattered by this. What sort OF
things?"
"Oh. about the whole business" he
returned vaguely. You know what |
mean"
Then" she said with a slight laugh.
you mean to say you talk to me Tor
educational purposes? What n beast
ly bore!"
Dan did not contradict her. She
was by no means Eve to him. nor was
he the raw recruit his simplicity might
give one to think. He had had his
temptations and his way out of them
was an easy one: for he was very
slow to stir, and back of all was his
ideal. The reality and power of this
ideal Dan knew best at moments like
these. But the Duchess of Breakwater
was the most lovely woman-the
most dangerous woman that had come
his way. He liked her-Dan was well
on the way to love.
The two were alone in the big dark
room. At their side the small table.
from which they had taken their tea
together, stood with its empty cups
and its silver. Without. the day was
