CHAPTER II.

Well, we got the poor old doctor
of the chambermaids find him there,
and I wired to Mrs. Van Alstyne, who
was Mr.. Dicky Carter's sister, and
who was on her honeymoon in South
Carolina. The Van Alstynes came
back at once, in very bad tempers,
and we had the funeral from the
preachers house in Finleyville so as
not to harrow up the sanatorium
people any more than necessary.
After it was all over the relatives
gathered in the sun parlor of the san
atorium to hear the will-Mr. Van AL
styne and his wife and about twenty
more who had come up from the city
for the funeral and stayed over-on
the house.
Well, the old doctor left me the but
tons for his full dress waistcoat and
his favorite copy Of "Gray's Anatomy"
l couldn't exactly set up housekeeping
with my share of the estate.
They thought that was funny, but
a few minutes later they weren't SC
cheerful. You see the sanatorium was
mighty fine piece Of property with
deer park and golf links. Wed
had plenty of offers to, sell it for a
summer hotel, but we'd both been
dead against it, That was one of the
reasons for the will.
The whole estate was left to Dicky
Carter, who hadn't been able to come
owing to his being laid up with an
attack of mumps. The family sat up
and nodded at one another, or held
up it's hands, but when they heard
there was a condition they breathed
easier.
Beginning with one week after the
reading of the willard not a day
later-Mr. Dick was to take charge OF
the sanatorium and to stay there fol
two months without a day off. II al
the end of that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that it hadn't lost money
the entire property became his fol-
keeps. If he failed it was to be sold
and the money given to charity.
Well, the family went back to town
in a buzz of indignation, and l car
ried my waistcoat buttons and my

had good cry. There was a man

the property as a summer hotel, and

noon train was in, and no Mr.. Dick.
Mr.. Sam was keeping the lawyer Mr..
Stitt, in the billiard room, and by four
o'clock they'd had everything that was
in the bar and were inventing new
combinations of their own. And Mrs.
Sam had gone to bed with a nervous
headache.
Senator Biggs brought the mail
down to the spring-house at four, but
there was nothing for me except a
note from Mr.. Sam, rather shaky,
which said he'd no word yet and that

I put salt in Miss Cobb's glass when
she always drank the water plain.
Once / put the broom in the fire and
started to sweep the porch with a
fire log. Luckily they were busy with
-. Ia Il -
smell of burning straw not rising, so
to speak, above the sulphur of the
spring.
Senator Biggs went from one table
to another telling how we'll he felt
since he stopped eating, and trying to
him.
It's funny how man with theory
about his stomach isn't happy until
he has made some other fellow swal-
low it.
Then they all began at once. If you
have ever heard twenty people airing
their theories on diet you know all
about it. 1t always ends the same
way: the man with the loudest voice
wins, and the defeated ones limp over
to the spring and tell their theories
to me. They know I'm being paid to
listen.
But when things had got quiet-ex-
cept Mr.. Moody dropping nickels into
the slot-machine|I happened to look
over at Miss Patty, and l saw there
was something wrong. She had a let
ter open in her !ap-not one Of the
blue ones with the black and gold seal
that every one in the house knew came
from the prince-but white one, and
she was staring at it as if she'd seen
ghost.

"Stuff!" She gave me little snake.

And now we're going to stop talking
about him--you're worse than the
newspapers"
And at that minute the door was
flung open, and Bath-house Mike stag
gered in.
"The old doctor!" he gasped. Hes
dead, Miss Minnie-died just now In
the hot room in the bath-house! One
minute he was givin' me the divil for
something or other, and the next l
thought he was asleep"
Something that had been heavy in
my breast all afternoon suddenly
seemed to burst and made me feel
faint all over. But l didn't lose my
head.
Does anybody know YETI" I asked
quickly. He shook his head.
"Then he didn't die in the bath
house, Mike" l said firmly. "He died
in his bed, and you know 1t. II it

"The wretch" she cried, 'the hate
full creature-as if things weren't bad
enough! suppose he'll have to come,
Minnie, but l must see him before
he sees any one else"
Just then the bishop brought his
glass over to the spring.

"Do you know, I'm getting the mineral
water habit, Patty! I'm afraid plain
water will have no attraction for me

o'clock, get father to play cribbage,

tending to be very serious. Patty,
Patty, you'll be the death of me yet.

"Just dear, slightly bald, but still

Bishop, Bishop!" Mrs. Moody
called. How naughty of you, and

Well, knew Mr. Dick had been up
to some mischief; had suspected it
all along. But Miss Patty went to bed,
and old Mrs. Hutchins, who's sort
of dy's-maid-companion of hers, said
she mustn't be disturbed. 1 was pref
