II some Of them had not bitten Jed

When the Beebees found that they
could get nothing cut Of the lawyer,
they held conference among them

There was no longer any doubt that
the dying Jed had left Rachel two or
three million dollars. Some said four
millions. and some seven or eight.
The conference had barely begun,
when 1t broke up in quarrel. Old
Uriah Beebee proposed to take care OF
Rachel and her money and SEQ that
she did not spend too much Australian

Paris hats. -
Old Philetus Beobee proposed to do
the same thing. He was the only Bee

Rachel to a circus. and he felt that
this act constituted him her legal
guardian. The other Beebees, men

+ In careless way, as If scarcely in

OF questions about the Beebees, and
when he found that one Of the broth
ers had gone to Australia years and
years before and had never been heard
Of since. he said he guessed he'd take
a walk over to the country house some
day.
He'd seen castles and palaces and
coliseums and skyscrapers, but had
never been inside a county house. As
It was only a mile away, he would
walk over there some day when the
fish did not bite.
-Four day later Aunt Rachel Beebee
had a caller. and his coming was an
event. She had been made quite COM
Portable, and the doctor said her ribs
were mending and she would be able
to return to slavery in about a month.
The lawyer had a private interview
with the patient. Even the wife Of the
keeper of the county house could not
find out what it was all about.
This fact gave it greater weight.
After he had departed, Aunt Rachel
chirked right up and looked like a
different woman and on being pressed
she threw out hints that she might not
have to do any more work during her
life.
