Nawby, as executor to "the late Joshua Grice," declared himself convinced of the claimant's identity. On being informed of this result, Mat ordered the lawyer, after first deducting the amount of his bill from the forthcoming legacy, to draw him out such a legal form as might enable him to settle his property forthwith on another person. When Mr.

"My aunt," said Elise gently, "is very old." "I wouldn't dream of touching your poor little legacy." He said it with passion. "Won't you drop all this sordid talk about business and trust me?" "I do trust you." The little white hand left off stroking the dark fur and reached out to him. He took it and held it tight. It struggled to withdraw itself. "You aren't afraid of me?" he said.
"Yes, dear, you are right," Eleanor replied somewhat confused; "but one always finds friends when in trouble, you know. It was so with me, and after I recovered my strength I lived on there in Denver with the small legacy my father left me, supplemented later by a little more from the sale of the ranch. A year after Carina's death I applied for a divorce, on the ground of desertion.

At her death she left a legacy to continue the treat. Such, at least, is the story as I have always heard it.
