Mr. Hawker'. realizing he bad their

ile spread ■ formidable looking doc-

-Dear old Nat:- said Alarlc refiec-
Beefy. "Do you remember, meter. we
met him et Victoria sutiuo once when
I was little more than a baby? Yet 1
can see him now as plainly as if It
were yesterday -a pertly, sandy haired
old buck with three jolly chins."
"He was white toward the end and
very, very thin." said Mr. Hawkes
softly.

Alarlc's voice rose to a pitch of well

"IIIc estate Is valued. approximately,
at some (200.000." replied the lawyer.
Alarlc gave a long. low whistle and
smiled a broad. comprebenalve smile.
Ethel for the and time showed a

struck the dignified gentleman sudden-

"Well? Well?" cried Alarlc. "How
much? 1)ou't stop right in the middle

Mr. Hawke, returned to the will and
after looking at It a moment without
rending said:
"To bis immediate relations Mr.
Kingsnortb left I regret to say -noth-

A momentary silence fell like a pall
over the stricken Chichester family.
Mrs. Chichester rose. indignation

"Nothing?" sbe cried Incredulously.
"Not a penny piece to any one:'" ven-

Tbe faintest suspicion of a amfle
flitted across Ethel's race.
Hawkes looked keenly et them and
answered:
"I deeply regret to ay -nothing."
Mrs. Chichester turned to Ethel, wbo
had begun to stroke Pet ngaln.
"Ills own Oen!' and blood!" cried the
poor lady.
"What a shabby old beggar!" com-
mented Alaric Indignantly.
"Ile was niwaya the most.el6sh. the

As two drowning people clinging to
the proverbial straws the mother and
son waited breathlessly fur Mr. Hawkes
to go on.
Ethel showed no interest whatever.
"When Mr Kingsnorth realized that

spoke eonetantly of his other ulster.

"Angelnr ,cried !In. Chlcbeeter to

"That was why be spoke of ber,"
said Hawkes gravely.

"The man was an agitator -a Fenian

Alaric checked his mother again.
Hawke. resumed: "Was cut off by

"Mr. Kingsnorth elsewhere expresses

"With death approaching," resnmed
Hawkes, "Mr. Kingsoorth's conscience

Did you let her ail, Mr. Hawkes.'
"Yes. We thought it bent to bring
her over here and acquaint tar with
the sad news after her arrival. Had
she known before sailing she might not
bare taken the journey."
"But what was the ase• of bringing
her over when Mr. Kingsnorth was
dead?" asked Alarlc.
"Por thla reason," replied Hawke..
"Realizing that he might never see bee,
Mr. Kingsnorth made the most retmart-
