Things had reached this point when
Justin Little calmly and confidently
claimed that Anne's share was to be
based upon an old loan OF Anne's fa-

thousand dollars to float Lee Strick-

look grave.
The estate was not worth one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars now,
by any means; 1t had been reduced to
little more than two-thirds of that
sum, and Anne's bright concern that
every one should be satisfied with
what was right, and her ingenious
pleasure In Justin's cleverness in
thinking Of this possibility, were met
with noticeable coldness.
II Anne WAS wrong. and the paper
she held in her hand worthless. each
girl would inherit a comfortable little
fortune. but If Anne was right, Cherry
and Alix would have only few thou

any! But I'm thinking of Alix."
'Yes-we must think Of darling
Alix!" Anne had said, nervously eager
that there should be no quarrel. "If
Uncle Lee intended me to have all this
money, then l suppose l must take it.
but l shan't be happy unless things are
arranged so that Alix shall be COM

'B-but the worst of 1t is, Alix!'

reason. Periods Of wet weather pre-
