and no division could be made OF the
lot and building until the heirs in this
family were found. John Spencer, de-
sirous OF coming into what was for
tune, at once made 1t his business to
hunt up these heirs. He began at the
fountainhead, making inquiries as to
the first and second generations or
Gawtrys, and learned that a son OF
Samuel Cavity had settled in Detroit.
Spencer went to Detroit, where he
learned that the widow of Samuel
Cavity of the second generation was
living In straitened circumstances.
Not wishing to excite false hopes In
this person. he made inquiries in
roundabout way and learned that the
original Cavity had had several chill.
dren, but the only living grandchild
was Marian Cavity, daughter of the
widow he had found. Having pro.
ceeded thus far, Spencer returned to
Chicago and reported his find to the
trust company and left its officers to
satisfy themselves that he Spencer
and Marian Cavity were the heirs to
the property in question and. this
done, to give each heir half.
One morning Miss Marian Cavity.
when about to go to her school duties,
took letter from the postman inform
ing her that the - Trust company OF
Chicago was ready TO convey to her
one-half of certain lot and building in
that city bequeathed to her by her
grandfather, Samuel Cavity. She re-
ferred the matter to her mother, who
said she had never heard of her father
owning such property. He had left
Chicago forty years before, poor
man. Miss Cavity put the matter
down as a mistake and, proceeding TO
school, thought no more about 1t.
One evening she received a call from
a young man named Spencer. He was
about TO mention the fact that she was
an heiress when it occurred to him that
since there was a building on the prop
erty there might be difficulty in divid'
ing 1t and 1t would be better that they
should own 1t together. But he was an
honorable fellow and scorned to win
her knowing that she was an heiress.
Miss Cavity" he said, II have come
to Detroit TO inform you that you are
Joint owner with me Of lot and build
ing in Chicago worth in all half mil
lion dollars"
The young lady. remembering the
former information she had received on
this subject, coolly remarked:
That's a mistake. My mother says
her father owned no such property In
Chicago"
"wnl you marry me n what tell
you is trueY
IF you can convince me that l am
worth the sum you name I'll marry
Sou!"
Spencer eventually proved his case
and held her 20 her promise. Since
they had been mutually pleased with
each other and a division Of the prop
erty was hard 20 effect Miss Cavity
was by no means loath 20 keep IT,
All OF which goes 10 show that oui
fates are often determined by small
matters.
