Henry Redmayne was his faith
er's representative in England and
a wool broker on his own account.
He married and had one daughter:

very we'll, for was fifteen and at
school when they died! They wcH
on their way to Australia, so that
my 4ather might see his father and
mother again after the lapse Of
many years. But their ship, The
Waffle Blossom, was lost with all
hands and | became an orphan.
John Redmayne, my grandfather,
though rich man was great be-
lever in work, and all his sons had
to find occupation and justify their
lives in his eyes. Uncle Albert, who
was only year younger than my
father, cared for studious subjects
and literature. He was apprenticed
in youth to a bookseller at Sydney
and after a time came to England,
joined a large and important firm
of book sellers, and became an ex-
pert. They took him into partner
ship and he traveled for them and
spent some years in New York. But
his special subject was Italian Re-
naissance literature and his JOY was
Italy, where he now lives. He found
himself in a position to retire about
ten years ago, being bachelor with
modest requirements. He knew,
moreover, that his father must soon
pass away and, as his mother was
already dead, he stood in position
to count upon a share of the large
fortune to be divided presently be-
tween himself and his two remain
ing brothers.
"Of these my Uncle Bendgo Red
mayne was sailor in the merchant
marine. After reaching the position
of captain in the Royal Mail
Steamship Company he retired on
my grandfather's death, four years
ago. But the sea is his devotio4
and when he was table to do so, n,
built himself little house on tie
Devon cliffs, where now he resides
within sound of the waves.
my third uncle, Robert Red
mayne, is at this moment apparent

husband; but the more l think of

"Robert Redmayne in youth was
his fathers favorite and it, he
spoiled any of his sons he spoiled
the youngest. Uncle Robert came
to England, and being fond Of cattle
breeding and agriculture, joined a
| farmer, the brother of an Austria
liam friend of John Redmayne's. HIS
was supposed to be getting on we'll,
but he came and went, for my
grandfather did not like a year to
pass without sight of him.
"After the death of my own faith
er l saw little of Uncle Robert
from time to time, for he was kind
to me and liked me to be with him
in my holidays.
ut was summertime and l was
stopping with my Uncle Robert at
Penzance when two great things
indeed three great things happen
ed. The war broke out, my grand
father died in Australia and, lastly,
became engaged to Michael PEN
dean.
Il had loved Michael devotsdly
for year before he asked men to
marry him. But when l told my
Uncle Robert what had happened he
chose to disapprove and consdere
that l had make serious mistake.
My future husbands parents were
dead. His father had been the head
of firm called Pendean G. Trecar-
, row, whose business was the inf por-
tation of pilchards to Italy. But
Michael, though he had now sue
ceeded his father in the business,
took no interest in it. 1t gave him
an income, but his own interests
! were in mechanical direction.
& "On the death of my grandfather
it was found that he had written a
peculiar will; and we also learned
that his fortune would prove con-
I siderably smaller than his sons ex-
pected. However, he left rather
. more than one hundred and fifty
thousand.

fortune into the power of my Uncle

ing son. He told Uncle Albert to

tate between himself and his two

dictate, for he knew that Albert was

to me, he directed my uncle to set
