W. Wilson and littls daughter returned from a few weeks visit with her mother in expected to bo an old maid. My aunt's action had the same effect on Charlie that It bad on me He began to make love to me at once, and I experienced the delightful sensation of eating stolen fruit. Tbla waa enjoyable only for a short time. Love leads to matrimony, and the first thing I knew my delight was turned to worry. My lover, who waa more fandghted than I, inferred that If 1 took step toward marriage with out my aunt's consent she might cut me off from my expected Inheritance. 1 did not think she would do that, but the poHHlhlllty of her doing It troubled me. Charlie was a clerk with a salary of 170 a month, and he at lenst had sense enough to know that marriage u income meant hard times abend. Hut w hen two iwrsons are violently In love wltb each other prudence hides ber face. After much tribulation we did what many youngsters have done before us to tin Ir cost. We went to a parson and got married, he alone know- lug of the uuirrl 'ge Then I went home Slid Charlie wt ut home, and where there was worry before there was now misery. It hapiH-ned six n after this that my aunt's divorced J usband attempted by pro. -ess of law (" get possession of a certain piece c property she owned bv nieaus of paper he had Induced her to sign when they were living together; or. rather, the attempt wua to lew blackmail, since lie offered to with draw the suit if she would pay him a tlpulated sum.

Our cbief concern was wbat to 4o In the Immediate future. ' If I "con fessed to my aunt what I bad don sho might tell me to go to my husband and suffer the consequences oi' my de ception. Wo are all prone to put off an evil day, and Charlie and 1 con cluded to keep our secret and Uve tbe lives we were living apart till aucb time as we could see our way to set up housekeeping ln its simplest form. It was a long while before my aunt recovered from the effects of ber bu band's attempt sufficiently to cease talking about It. Inveighing against matrimony and an occasional remark to uie: "If ever I catch you listening to the poisoned words of any young rascal I'll turn you out of the bouse." But after awhile she ceased to get wrought up over It and In time not to apeak of it at all. Then the old lady was taken with an iHm from which she was not dea th, wl to recover. She had been very good to me und loved uie very dearly. I felt it my duty us well as my choice to devote myself to her comfort. While, doing this it was impossible for me to meet inv husband except at long Inter vals and then for brief Interviews. My nunt wan very exuding and kept me with her nearly ull the while. More over, I would not for the world have her discover that 1 bad repaid her kind ness to me by rejecting her wishes for me ami deceiving her in doing It Bo iiiixloiis was I to save ber this disap pointment that I pretended to agree with the repugnance to marriage she. had expressed and declared that 1 would never marry. In this falsehood my conscience wan soothed by a men tal rcservution. What 1 meant wan that I would not marry a second Ume. I supposed that this satisfied my dear aunt, for tthe never again referred to the subject either generally or pertain ing especially to me. But from tbla tlino forward I Judged that he wa chiefly concerned for herself, for she was fulling every day, and the affairs of this world seemed to be receding further and further from her. For a week before her death she knew tbat her end was approaching and for the first time seemed concerned about leav ing me to live alone. One day shortly before ber death the said to me: "You are looking pale and thin. 1 am wearlug the life out of you. 1 wlab you to go out this afternoon and not return till it is dark." I protested that 1 waa perfectly able to bear the strain and did not need an out lug, but she Insisted on It, and flnce she was in no condition to be opposed 1 assented. 1 was not sorry to be sent out and went at once to telephone. where 1 culled up Charlie, and we spent the afternoon together. 1 did not get buck to the sick chamber till an hour after dark. I was met In tbe ball by the trained nurse, who told uie tbat my aunt waa dead. Notwithstanding tbat the event waa expected 1 was shocked, especially that I wna away when It occurred. 1 was doubly pained when tbe nurse told me that my auut bad called for me and seemed much disturbed that I had not left word where I waa going. The poor woman seemed to have something of Importance to say to me before she died that she would not confide to any one else. The day after tbe funeral I took my aunt's will she had turned it over to me soon after being stricken by ber hu.t lllness-niul In company wltb my husband went to ber attorney to turn it over to him and confess that I waa a married woman and could not in herit miller Its provisions. He looked hi it, no! icing Hp date, signature and other points with that method com mon to those nf his profession, then, going to bis safe, opened a drawer, and, taking out a document, brought It to ns "1 have n Inter will here," be said. "A later will!" I exclaimed. "Surely that can't bo My Mint gave me thii osr when she was taken ill and cannot have made another." "Nevertheless she did, and that on the afternoon she died. I Wn8 tele phoned for and went to her Immedi ately This Is the result." Me handed me a bit of paper, on which was scarcely a hundred words, iea Ini; to me my aunt's estate without any condition whatever. I read It and handed It to Charlie. Ther . both looked at each other 1 tb on.ir i wet eves and Charlie took me in u arms. "What ln you ftuppose mv sunt wished to ny to me before she died?" I asked tbe lawyer presently. "This will yon have brought her, he replied, "disinherited you In case umi were married. Your aunt wished ne to draw a new will compelling you to marry In order to Inherit under It I suggested that It might complicate natters for you and result In turning der estate over to her husband. 1 therefore suggested the simpler form. I think that what she wished to say to you was that she dreaded leaving you unprotected: recalled what she had -aid to you about marriage, and hoped you would find a good husband. "I have already found one." I re piled, and my assertion turned out to lie true. My aunt's husband endeav ored to break the will on tbe ground that the testator waa not of sound mind when the will waa made and I had Influenced her to leave all to ma. It was fortunate that I bad a but Hand to look out for my Interests, or I am sure my property would have srone either to the man my aunt most wished should not have It or to the 'awyers and the chancery courts.
