OF the chambermaids find him there
and 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

They thought that was funny, but
few minutes later they weren't so
cheerful. You see the sanatorium was
a mighty fine piece of property with
deer park and golf links. We'd
had plenty of offers to sell 1t for a
summer hotel. but we'd both been
dead against 1t. 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 its hands, but when they heard
there was a condition they breathed
easier.
Beginning with one week after the
reading of the willard not day
later-Mr, Dick was to take charge of
the sanatorium and to stay there for
two months without day OF. If at
the end of that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that 1t hadn't lost money.

Sure enough. the next afternoon Mr..

sat down and took up the clipping.

dead, Miss Minnie-died just now in

minute he was givin me the divil for
