Marion Morton Exhibits Her Secret Fortune" to MGdge,
Ernctinq q PIedge.
BY Adele Garrison

ENROM my early childhood the
nv idea OF q secret compartment
in a box. or a hidden sliding
panel In a wall has intrigued me.
! know that | am moi alone In this.
that thousands OF people with 70
mantle imaglnations. share my flk-
ing. even though they feel con-
strained. as I do. TO hide their
feeling from their harder-headed rela-
tives and friends.
BuL there was no nee to conceal
my interest from Marion as she
pressed the hidden spring which
threw open the bottom Of her dead
grandmother's old sandalwood box
and disclosed the secret compart-
ment beneath. Her fingers were
trembling, her face aglow. and I
realized that her excitement was Tar
greater than mine.
tried to call my common sense
70 my aid and TO tell myself that the
long envelopes crowded into the bot
tom OF the box held only the finan-
cially worthless letters and keep
Sakes OF an old woman long dead.
But | could not Danish the eerie
impression which Marion's recital OF
her grandmother's injunction had
lust made upon me. II was the most
fantastic idea possible. that Tom
Morton. who had died practically a
bankrupt, should have entrusted any
fortune TO his aged. almost senile
mother. TO be kept until the girl was
eighteen. yet my imagination kept
dallying with II as Marion lifted the
envelopes from the bottom OF the
box and laid them IN my lap

tempt at being b~usiness-like which
was prettily amusing. Then we
can check up on them when we open
the box again. or you can. II any
thing should happen TO me-"
With the consciousness that my
excitement was as childish as Ma
rr0n's. / picked up the envelopes and
scanned them carefully. They were
three I'm number. strong. and sealed
in several places with sprawiing
blobs or red wax. On each was writ
ten In the tremulous chirosraphy OF
an old and ailing person:
For Marion Morton when she
shall have reached tha age OF
eighteen years. Not TO be opened
until then, or in the event of her
decease, by her nearest heir"

those words for the grandchild she
idolized. Tom Morton had caused
his old mother much sorrow. and his
death had left her penniless. Lillian
