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 II 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"
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 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 q
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 its hands, but when they heard
there was a condition they breathed
easter.
Beginning with one week after the
reading of the willard not a day
iater-Mr. Dick was to take charge of
the sanatorium and to stay there for
two months without q day on. II At
the end OF that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that II hadn't lost money.
the entire property became his for
keeps. II 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 car
ried my waistcoat buttons and my

had a good cry. There was man
named Thoburn who was crazy for
the property as. q summer hotel. and
every time shut my eyes l could see
"Thoburn House" over the veranda
and children sailing paper boats in the
mineral spring.
Sure enough. tie next afternoon Mr..
Thoburn drove out from Finleyvslle
with suit case. and before he'd taken
OF his overcoat he came out to tas

of his which has been tried and found
very useful In partially cutting out

the height of the receiving aerials will
relieve the messages from their in
