might just happen that old Josiah's
ward was fine girl, and that Earl
would lose a good thing If he lost her.
Why not at least go east and see her.
He could do it without revealing his
identity. If he did not like the look
of her he could walk off and let the
time expire and let Yale get the mon
ey. Mr.. Wyndham kept saying to
himself that he had no curiosity
whatever on the subject, but he felt
it sort of duty to the girl. She ought
to know whether that half million
dollars was going to Yale or not. She
might be fretting and stewing away
over it, and it was hardly manly
thing to keep her in that situation.
Therefore, Mr.. Wyndham packed his
bag one day and started for the east.
Miss Rose Stevens lived in fine

THE DAILY
SHORT STORY
Nothing for Yale
nv OSCAR HORACE.


copyright, 1917, by the Mcclure
Newspaper syndicate.)
wv 1HEN OLD Josiah Hardman was
NV sixty years old he became the
w guardian Of little Rose Ste
yens. who was distant relative Of
his. When he died she was nineteen
years old. The old man was pretty
rich, and most people called him ecN
centric.
In making his will he proved that
they were right. In fact, If they had
called him a half fool they would not
have been far from the truth.
Old Josiah left his ward half mil
lion dollars. He left his housekeeper,
who was also the chaperone, fifth
OF that sum. He left three brothers
small fortunes each, and then pro-
ceeded to reveal his idocy. He had a
nephew named Earl Windham. He
had not seen nor directly heard from
this nephew in twenty years. He had
heard in roundabout way that Earl
lived in Boston, and was an occullst
and not married yet at the age Of
twenty-three. He had been told that
Mr.. Wyndham was a smart and
steady young man, and that was all
he had to go on.
The old man was not matchmak-
er, but he proceeded to NEEDLE with
the business. Whether his ward
wanted to marry man with red hair
or black did not make any difference
to him. She might marry man Of
twenty-five or an old man Of seventy,
so far as he knew her mind. In his
will he left half million dollars to
be inherited in this way: If Mr.. Earl
Windham married Miss Rose Stevens
within year the money was to come
to them as bridal gift. If they did
not marry, it was to go to Yale col
lege. That was the up and down Of
it. The lawyer who drew the will
vowed that it could not be broken.
Here was eccentricity with ven
geance. Miss Rose had never seen
Earl and his name had never been
mentioned in her hearing but two or
three times. Young Mr.. Wyndham
had heard that Rose was the ward Of
his uncle, but nothing further. He
never felt called upon to visit old Jo-
siah, and consequently he had never
seen the girl.
The young man was in California
when he read in newspaper that his
uncle was dead and had left strange
sort of will. His first thought was Of
defiance. His uncle had no business
to leave things in that manner. Mr..
Wyndham wasn't going to permit an
uncle or anybody else to bride him
into taking a wife. He was fairly
well to do and getting along nicely
in his profession, and he said to him
self that Yale might get the money
and be hanged to it.
Miss Rose felt a spirit Of defiance
as we'll. She could live nicely on that
half million, and she wasn't going to
marry any man for the sake of any
more. She had some curiosity about
Mr.. Wyndham, but she didn't care
much whether she ever saw him or
not. She imagined him to have light
thin hair, receding chin, shiny blue
eyes and to be sort Of invalid, and
her love should not go to man like
that.
Six months Of the year had gone by
and the young occulist had wrestled
many times with himself. Half mil

I warn you in advance, that if we get
that half million dollars, half Of it
goes into the bank in my name"
Mr.. Wyndham followed Roses sug-
gestion for fortnight, and that is
the reason that old Yale got none Of
the half million dollars. 1t was just
as happy marriage as if they had
been three years deciding it.
