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

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

was a lajiy could pilot him through the

inugt be admitted that she gave only
what entertainments she felt she conld

She had to kcop there, for the sort of

Ma. Rodney had not infrequently com
plained of this in her eldest daughter.
"I should tliiuk you would want to

temper .over maternal nagging of this
kind and generally eupegedjed by de

Uncle Gardner was not quite as mean

got what they wanted. 'He simply made
the.matter more pleasant for himself
by growling over things and rendering
the women unhappy.

and ambitious wotaan. 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

mother's views and helped her in her
aims as far as she could. Her uncle she
