By JOHN J. a'BEOKET. [Copyright, by American Press Asso ciation.] CHAPTER I. 13a BEQUEST OP THE COONTEBS. Things were pretty stormy in tha house that mgrning. There had been a small danoo tho night before. Uncle Gardner had been unpleasant enough over that. Ho always mnde it a point to expatiate on tlio extravagance of Mrs. Iirfdney or the girt* oa tho case might be, $-hen he was dffewn on fur mpney. Mr. Josiah Garcfner had zpado afortnqe and liud mined bis teijiper deling Jt. Be hud had his rtose to the gririaiMiftie for years, aud now that ho ttjp relfev«a of that hflmiliating ooujbination h« tried to even t$i things by imbjectipE others to a liko harrow ing conjunction. They were all thoroughly tired of it, no one more so, however, than Florence Hodney. She wus 41 lithe pretty girl of 20, a graduate of Vassnr and thorough ly np to date in athletics. It was comfort to her to reflect that she lived in an age when women rode, swam, fenced, wheeled, and could make a fair showing with men at tennis, golf and other physical diversions. Miss Rodney was an admirable ex ponent of tho benetit of Air, exercise and freedom for her sex. Her walk, was Bpringy and graceful, and she carritid herself as straight as a soldier. It was a source-of immenso solace to her in all tho phases of licr physical well being to feel her every muscle firm and strong and to know that her flesh, he? heart and btr lnngs were in the best possible condition. Mrs. Bodney was, a widow with little money, two daughters to marry off and a mind given to the things of this world. When fcer husband had left her impoverished, the sense of blood ties and ffupUjwjtaty bs)4 induced ijw Jwpth e?,. Jct&uiit 3 iitdue*, Ho talcs t&otga of her and lipr daughters, But he l)aa this nifDUftwttMt- fittfcioxi Of co&Ctii&iliig about money matters. Mis. Rodney's one argument in defensoof their ex penses wus the need of gettipg the girls well married. This meant marrying them toNineu of means and good social position—rich ifi.en, anyhow, for Mrs. Rodney was convinced that money was enough of an "open sesame-" for New York society nt all events. If a man had not tho blood or mannera.of thor ough gentleman, a skillful wife who was a lajiy could pilot him through the shoals all right Most American hus bands, except the few who aro yonng society men, do*not figure very promi nently in tho Eoclal content to goTier wgyT a'nj g^IBft'v»Sy she did. In justice to Mrs. Rodney it inugt be admitted that she gave only what entertainments she felt she conld not escape and keep in the swim at all. She had to kcop there, for the sort of men whom pile in jail t" I managed to'ask weakly. "Don't talk—iyi do all that. The enes tUat ain't in iil'( \Vell, they they'ro—Well, jnst abotlt whex*e yoti saw 'eiu lost, I reckon. They broke an ran jnst aftor yon went down.

They'll bo mighty glad to bear how nice yon'ro comib on, tho boys will, 'specially Spider \n tho Bally Gnrl. The Bally Gnrl's been makin qnail broth every Alay, bopiu yon might eat some, an Spider's been a-fightin with him 'cause hodoh't make enongh. 'r' phases of their fam ilies. They generally have tho air of be^ng casual und bored assistants at functions of this kind, imd not mnch is oxpectcd of them except to pay the, bills. Misp Rodney \Yim rather a restive filly and gave her worthy mother many an occasion for fretful dissatisfaction. She bad a will of lier own, and her tastes, as bus beon'said, wero for athletic pas times and not for society, though she was fond of (lancing ijud handsome gowns, pile did not sbmtf that keen dc Bile for bagging somo eligible man which her mother would havo liked Ma. Rodney had not infrequently com plained of this in her eldest daughter. "I should tliiuk you would want to get married and settled and not have to feel tlitlt) your uncle is breakijig his heart over every penny he puts oat for what he thinks ii^otfr extravagant lrv in#.

Uncle Gardner was not quite as mean as ho appeared to be. They generally got what they wanted. 'He simply made the.matter more pleasant for himself by growling over things and rendering the women unhappy. He liad gono away for the night was determined that I sqicl that if ho behaved himself yon might lot him have a little herd of 'his own, whep he can get the cattle an let 'em rnn with onra." "I'll start the brand myself," I said. "I want to see Spider.'-' As though in answer to my wish Spider appeared in t(ie doorway. In one hand he held a shotgun several sizes larger than he was, in tho other a string of quail. He saw that I was awake, -and (started to go away, but tiys padre looked at me, and must have decided that the inter view was doing me no harm, for he smiled kindly at Spider and beckoned him in.

The feeling be-, tween the two siaterB had become so strained us to result in perfect estrange-, mcnt. Mrs. Rodney derived no other advantage from her rich relative than an occasion allusion to "my sister, tho Countess of Carrington," where slife thought Buch allusion was profitable. What she read in her sister's letter was therefore all the more astonishing. The countess, without any great warmth, set forth that she was ill and her doctors had advised her to attend any testamentary dispositions she might wish to make as a matter of prudence. With thought of what was due to her own position and title and also of what would bo right toward her own kin, she had devieed the bulk of her fortuno to her niece, Florence, on condition that within a year after the decedent's death sho should marry the" Earl of Carrington, the eldest son of her deceased husband. If tho year elapsed without such marriage having taken place, the property was to go to tho Earl of Carrington, who would add tho name of Gardner to those which ho had. If her niece, Florence, married the earl, moneys and investments that would yield an income of |10,000 a year were to be set aBlde and Mrs. Rodney would enjoy this income for her natural life. On her death they were to go ubsolutoly to Miss Rose Rod ney or her heirs. The Countess of of the dance and had not been expected to return until tho second day after it, no as tp allow the house and the in mates time to get back to the normal. Cut he had got disgusted with some thing at tho hotel and came home the next day, full of a fault finding disposi tion. Tho women g&fifted in spirit at this unexpected aldvent of the head of the family. Rose, tho younger daugh ter, was perfectly in accord with her mother's views and helped her in her aims as far as she could. Her uncle she humored and cajoled as well a9 a pretty but not very clevei giri could humor and cajole a keen, eranky 61d man. Mrs. Rodney felt that it was little unfoj'tnnnto that the characters of her two daughters, were not reversed. Misa Rodncyopgbt to bo disposed first in the n)atrimonial market, as she was the elder.
