Lawyer Wells made face as though
swallowing bitter pill.
The most extraordinary young man
and the biggest fool ever met" he
soliloquized, as Rodney left the ONCE
after placing his diamond ring. watch
and some papers Of value upon the
desk.
Rodney Blair was in earnest. Two
months previous he had been unex'
pectedly lifted from small paying
clerkship to what was to him positive
afiuence. His uncle had left him ten
thousand dollars In cash. There was
not the trace Of an evil streak In HE
easy-going, harmless nature. but Rod
ney went mad with delight. He had
never had more than few dollars
ahead in all his life and now he imag'
ined himself a Croesus. He furnished

chased an automobile, he fitted out
with an elegant wardrobe. He be
came the envy of all the youths Of the
town.
There we're no champagne suppers
nor reckless rioting Rodney simply
spent his money. He distributed gen.
erous among needy friends, he gave
expensive luncheons and trips to near
summer resorts.
Quite incidentally had he learned OF
the existence OF the Wilson's and the
circumstances surrounding the estate.
Tie result has been shown. He was
quick in his convictions, speedy to
act. Two days later Rodney took the
train for Mayville, the little town
where the Wilson's lived
| Inquiry he made upon his arrival
emphasized his first information that
the Wilson's we're very poor and very
worthy. He saw local attorney
through whom Wells was to transmit
the odd six thousand dollars that was
left of the legacy. Then he located
the home Of the Wilson's.

cottage at the edge Of the town, but
