she took her two-weeks-old brood of

Like a flash, the mother cat was on
the hawk s back, and the pair rolled
around in a fierce battle.

The acquaintance dated back
twenty-five years and more. to the
time when Mary Newell was the
adopted daughter of old Simon Newell.
John Ames' half-brother, but nearly
forty years his senior. Simon Newell
was the squire of the town, and 1t
was understood that all his posses
sions were to 90 to Mary. He wanted
to see her married to John Ames.
who. ut the age Of twenty. was al
ready gifted with that shrewd, cal
culating nature miscalled hardheaded-
ness in country places.
Johns wooing had been conducted
with consummate skill. Mary was
completely deceived by his protesta-
lions. SO much 30 that when John
asked her to marry him she thought
herself the happiest girl alive One
month before the date set for the
wedding the old squire had stroke.
He lay for week unconscious. but.
before he died. he opened his eyes
and seemed to recognize those about
him. He looked at Mary. He tried
to speak. but could not. A moment
later he closed his eyes and passed
out of life.
When the will was sought 1t could
not be found. Reluctantly, Mary's
friends came to the conclusion that.
like many men, Newell had postponed
making his will until 1t was too late.
And 30 the property passed by in
heritance into the hands of John
Ames.
Ames was very considerate. He
gave Mary the old-fashioned furniture.

But Mary had run out Of the room.

She was thinking that she had been

But for the wills loss she would

Slowly Tom watched the paper burn
in the fire. And. though the full
meaning of Mary's wish did not come
home to him, something told him that
he must never let her know Ames

Newell estate.
