Will

The will had been read, and the dis
appointed nephew and niece, who had
received much smaller legacies than
they expected, rose to take their de-
fDarture, each trying to assume a de-
cent air Of friendliness to Richard
and Esther Stone, the more fortunate
heirs, but inwardly raging at the in
justice of Uncle Charles, the testator.
Charles Bassett had not been pos
sessed Of large fortune to leave.
The home where he died had for sew
eral years been occupied by his niece
Esther, and her husband Richard
Stone, his board being considered an
equivalent for rent. Richard earned
small salary as bOOkkeeper and
they had not been able to save much
He was steady and reliable, but with
the small confidence in himself, and
the lack Of initiative which keeps a
man travelling in a rut to the end Of
his days. He, as well as Esther had
had high hopes once of getting on in
the world, but they were now both over
forty, and their financial progress was
scarcely perceptible. They had set
tied down to the conviction that any
greater degree of prosperity was not
for them, their very attitude Of mind
helping to keep them there. But If
they were ignorant Of this, they were
to be pitied rather than blamed; such
a large share of humanity are in the
same boat
They had made a comfortable home
for Uncle Charles Bassett, and had
cared for him in his last Illness, and
might leave them the house. 1t was a
two-story brick building, in good re-
pair. and with pretty grounds in one
of the best neighbOrhoods of the small,
western town.
The will gave them this house and
all furniture that had belonged to
Charles Bassett, the residue, after flu
neral expenses, to be divided equally
between the other two heirs. This
amounted to only about fifteen hun
dred dollars apiece, and was deposited
in city bank.
All the heirs were surprised that so
small an amount had comprised the
old mans fortune. The lawyer who
had drawn up the will some five years
before when Mr.. Bassett had first gone
to live with the Stones, also wondered,
because he inferred the old gentleman
had considerably more; still 1t was
known that he told nobody about his
affairs, and was considered eccentric.
But what was still stranger was the
