THE settlement
BY JOSEPHINE MURPHY.

In her youth Janet HI had known
every luxury. Her father had been q
wealthy merchant. Many wooers had
sought her hand, but only one had made
q favorable impression on the girls
mind. His name was Ralph B., and
he earned his bread as reporter on
the staff of daily newspaper.
On such a person Mr.. H was
not disposed to bestow his daughter.
His success In business had turned his
head and he looked forward to Janet
marrying one Of higher social stand
Ing.
Ralph met with only cold glances
from Mr.. and Mrs II when he en-
countered them. Gradually his visits
ceased, and before the collapse Of Mr.
rs business the young man had
gone, no one knew where or whittier;
few cared.
Neither Mr.. H or his wife long
survived their change In fortune. The
former had invested all the money
he could raise in new, and as 1t
turned out, bogus company. Thus
Janet was entirely unprovided for.
She entered the Mayton hospital.
from which she later graduated as q
private nurse.
Her first case was with Norman
w, an old man of very comfort
able means. Here she remained as
his nurse and faithful servant until
death called him.
His entire property was bequeathed
to her at his death. The antiques and
curious old statuary of the mansion
held strange charm for her.
About week after Mr.. VS.
death she was sitting in the library
reading when the sound Of an auto
brushing the curb came to her ears.
Laying aside the book. she arose from
her chair and started to walk toward
the window, but was interrupted by
knock on the library door. To her an
swer the maid announced that young
man wished to see her.
CHANGING at the card the maid had
handed her, Janet recognized the law
yer's name.

In"
"Good evening, Miss H. l have
rather strange news for you," he re-
marked, as he sat down.
Proceed" said Janet
"Well," began the lawyer at appears
in some valuable papers OF Mr.. W
that he did have married daughter,
who, through some family disagree
ment, had left her fathers home. The
girl has since died, but her only child,
now young man, still survives, and
he has put in q claim for his mothers
share of the property. have come to
inform you beforehand. / shall bring
this young man to see you tomorrow
and we shall decide what further pro-
ceedings shall take place"
''Certainly!" said Janet. II shall be
very glad to give up that which be-
longs to another"
After he left she sighed gently. She
If she would now have to
face the cold world again. She had,
however, managed to save neat sum;
thus she would not be utterly penni-
less and after short rest she would
start out once more.
The next morning found the lawyer

way to the mansion. AS the young

Writer'S cramp does not interfere

totally unable to write uses the at

Complete rest Of the hand, massage
and electrical treatment may afford

coming in great flashes one after the
other. Now and then the light trom
the skies was 30 intensely bright that
for seconds at q time the yards near

as though lit with lanterns. There are
many heavily blossomed apple trees
near by home and the lightning flash.

than in the daytime. These beautiful
trees are covered every inch with fra

just a moment before ire thunder
rolled distractingly, saw those In
tensely white trees step out before
my eyes.
