Aunt Jerusha~w was dead and she
had left everything to Dorothy. Aunt
Jerusha had been mother and father
in one to Dorothy until she married
Charlie Enfield, the young lawyer
There was nothing against the
young mans character, but Aunt Je-
rusha had no use for lawyers. A
lawyer had once treated her badly.
Since the day of the young peoples
marriage, six months before, and
then a misfortune had happened.
Dorothy had called impulsively at
her aunt's house to beg forgiveness
and Aunt Jerusha had been quite
conciliatory and had made tea in the
fine old Worcester teapot that had
come down in the family for genera
lions. Then Dorothy dropped the
sugar bowl, and that ended every
thing.
Aunt Jerusha had several peculi-
arities One was her dislike for law
yers, whom she called rogues. An
other was her love for her china,
which she valued, she said, more
than any human being on earth ex-
cept her parrot, recently deceased.
A stormy scene ensued, and Dorothy
left the house Indignantly. When
Aunt Jerusha died she left Dorothy
everything, including the tea service,
teapot, milk pitcher, mended sugar
bowl and five saucers and six cups.
Dorothy had broken one saucer in
childhood, and she had never heard
the last of it.
They moved into the cottage. The
legacy was much smaller than it
should have been. Three-quarters of
Aunt. Jerusha's wealth had disap-
peared somewhere. However, they
we're not mercenary young couple
and cared very little about this.

communication, and is planning to pro,
