"oh, Natalie, what do you think
you are an heiress!"
Nonsense, Kate!'
It's true" affirmed her married sis
ter. Here is an item in the Rossville
paper, and it says that among the ben
eficiaries of Uncle Warren's will are
several relatives outside of his direct
family. See-your name: Miss Ma
talie Prescott.
Natalie's pulse fluttered a trifle.
Her name was, indeed, mentioned. She

nouncement.
Maybe it's ten thousand dollars,
maybe it's twenty" cried Kate ex-
citedly. you know that Uncle War
rem was a very rich man. My! If you
should get big lot of money, think
what you could do for the children
and for me, poor, overworked and a
nervous wreck! l would go away for
one grand stay at the seaside, and get
some new clothes-oh, l hope your
legacy is something substantial"
Kate, dear, do not count on il"
advised Natalie with a sad smile.

tives, and of course they will get the
bulk of his estate. / fancy he has re-
membered me with some trif1ing me-

I'm going to find out. Trust me
for that" declared Kate determinedly.
They were of wide, diverging ma
lures, these sisters. Natalie, patient,

tender-hearted, industrious. Her sis
ter was just the reverse-complaining
dissatisfied, eager for some good for
tune that would enable her to live
without labor. Natalie was a prof.
cient musician with piano and violin,
and gave lessons, paying her grasping
married sister more than a fair sum
for board
1t was a week later when Kate
flashed in upon Natalie at the piano
in feverish state of indignation and
excitement.
THE mean old hunks!" she scold-
ed what do you think? l wrote the
lawyers of uncle's estate, demanding
to know what they had left you"
"Oh, Kate!" demonstrated Natalie.
I've got the reply" and Kate waved
an open letter in her hand. "All he
has left you is that old clap-trap of
violin he dotted over So"
"Oh, Kate! Did he, indeed?" cried
Natalie with sparkling eyes. why,
his priced Carero is priceless 1t was
his most precious treasure. To think
that he would leave it to mel"
Kate flounced off, ridiculing the ex-
travagant delight of her sister over
"a piece of antiquated rubbish" Ma
talie fondly thought of the old mans
delight in his favored instrument.
Often he had played to her, and he
had even allowed her to handle the
old instrument, but tenderly, as though
it were an infant in arms. There was
large intrinsic value to the instru-
ment on account of its maker, age
and power of melodious expression.
Natalie, however, never thought of
selling it, especially when the violin
duly arrived with a note from the
lawyers of the estate, saying that Mr..
Warren had expressed the hope the
cherished instrument would never go
out of the family.
There ensued a period of rare de-
light for Natalie after that. The
sound of the violin made Kate angry
every time 1t struck her ear There
was little old vine-covered bower at
one end of the garden. Thither Ma
talie would go, and for hours would
draw sweet plaintive melody from the
vibrant strings.
She was dreamily playing a ca
denZa one lonely afternoon when she
looked up, startled. On the other side
of the low fence stood a young man,
raptly listening to the echoing strains.
His eyes were lit with devotion to art,
his lips trembled, his whole being
seemed permeated with the plaintive
yet thrilling appeal Of the old instru-
ment.
oh" he cried, forgetting that he
was stranger; "the divine music!
That instrument! 1t came surely from
one of the music masters. May look
at it? May | hold it, to know that
for moment at least that | have
had possession of the very soul of
ravishing melody?"
His fine, statuesque face inspired
Natalie with confidence She opened
the little garden gate, She welcomed
him as a brother in art. He took up
the violin with an air of rare devo-
ton and reverence. Then he began to
play Natalie sat fascinated. He was
a master in his line.
