They parted on the steps of the cafe.
Summers watched his friend out of
sight, theu took a cab to his chambers,
paid his man a month's wages and gave
him a mouth's holiday, packed a port
manteau, locked up his rooms, gave the
key to his housekeeper and, half an
hour later, was smoking his last cigar
In a first-class compartment of a soutu
western train with his last $o In his
pocket
In .the nest Issue of the Dormouth
Times appeared this Item of news:
"Some men are lucky! Mr. Kobert
Summers, sou of the late Richard Sum
mers, of Dormouth, who has been read
ing for the bar since his father's sud
den death, has Just Inherited a fortune,
estimated at from $400,000 to half a
. million, left by an uncle who settled
early In life lu Chile. News of the
death of his wealthy relative and of
the fortune bequeathed to him reached
Mr. Summers, who happens to be stay
ing at the Dormouth Arms at the pres
ent time, by the last South American
mails. We heartily congratulate our
fellow townsman."
. Mr. Bob Summers read this with a
placid face In his sitting-room at the
Dormouth Arms, while chipping an egg
for his breakfast.
"A very comfortable sum," he solil
oquized. "Not too small for the covet
ous and not too large for the credulous.
They will turn up presently."
Before he had finished breakfast a
note was handed him from his old tail
or, whose name and account he had al
most forgotten. It begged the favor of
a renewal of Mr. Summers' esteemed
patronage. A couple of circulars strong
ly emphasizing the claims of local char
ities followed, and no less than six beg
ging letters In an hour.
"They must fancy that fortunes are
remitted by cable!" Summers com
mented on these prompt recognitions of
his admission Into the ranks of the
dunned.
To the other evidences of newspaper
popularity was added the usual atten
tion of a visit from his landlord, who
hoped Mr. Summers was comfortable.
Ho had known Mr. Summers' father
for "well on to forty years, slr,and
remembered hearln tell of a brother
,,who went to South America In the 50s.

"he seems to have Improved bis time,

"Yes," said Bob dryly; "an affliction

someone with my hat and get a mourning-band

Bob lounged up to the window Just
as a carriage stopped In the road be
low. "Lady Wheedle," ho murmured, "by
nil that's marvelous! Has she still got
her daughters on her hands?"
A noto was hnnded out, and the car
riage drove on. The note came to him,
as he had half-anticipated, for by this
time he was becoming prepared for ex
tremities. Lady Wheedle's compll
fonts and condolences with Mr. 'Sum

lie had scarcely dropped the noto on

I was announced.

"Owns a deal of property hereabouts,
sir," explnlned the waiter, with an apol
ogellc cough, 1
, "Oh, ah!- Yes. Show him in."
' Mr. Bolster appeared a gentleman
of n bustling aud confident manner,
with a keen eyo and an expansive stylo
of conversation.
"IIopo you will pardon this Intrusion,
Mr. Summers, and particularly on mat
ters of business; but capital, sir, knows
neither births, marriages nor deaths."
"The deuco It doesn't!" thought Sum
mers; but he said nothing to Interrupt
tho flow of words.

Bob stood for a
moment, his face
wearing a smile that was a trifle sar
donic, when the waiter reappeared
with the announcement that 'Squire
Merryweather presented his compli
ments, nnd could Mr. Summers receive
him? The new visitor turned out to bj
a white-haired gentleman oi amiauu
countenance and suave manners.
"You know me, Mr. Summers." he
proceeded to Introduce himself, "as the
head of Merrywcather's bank, no
doubt? I called to express my sym
pathy with your bereavement, and to
ask you If we can be of any service to
you?"
"Why. you are extremely kind, sir,"
said Bob. in acknowledgment: "but you
realize, doubtless, that I cannot open
account on a solicitor's letter of advice.
I should require something more tangi
ble," he said, with an Ingratiating
smile.
"I fully appreciate your position, Mr.
Summers. That will come In good time.
You will probably settle down In your
old' home, and I believe I may say that
Merrywcather's has a reputation for
solidity and for consideration toward
its customers that cannot be exceeded
elsewhere. But pending the realization
of your prospects, it has occurred to us
that a little present accommodation
might bo acceptable."
"You are doubly kind" said Bob,
with some difficulty restraining a de
sire to clap the old gentleman on the
back "doubly kind! I dare say, my
friend. Lord Wheedle" with a gesture
toward the open note on the table
"would oblige me for a few weeks, but
jou realize the Indelicacy one feels In
Imposing on personal friendship?"
"Perfectly, Mr. Summers; the reluc
tanee Is most natural. But as between
us the matter would have a purely bus
iness character. Shall we say an over
draft for ?Jo,000 on your acceptance at
three months?"
"You would place me under an obli
gation I could not forget, Mr. Merry
weather." "Let It be so, then. Will you call at
the bank before 1 ? Thank you."
With Monday forenoon came the In
terview with Mr. Bolster, and he
emerged from It the half owner of a
building estate, for which he had un
dertaken to pay $100,000 In one, two,
three and four years.
Out of at least a dozen schemes sub
mitted to him, with the rosiest assur
ances of profitable Investment, he se
lected three, which he negotiated dur
ing the week. He bought a wharf, a
fleet of coasting vessels and a tin mine
lu the vicinity. By depositing the deeds
with Merryweatbers' bank as collateral
security, he obtained an overdraft large
enough to enable him to complete these
purchases on very favorable terras, and
then ho Instructed his solicitors to
amalgamate the three properties In a
syndicate.
Altogether this was tho hardest
month's work In Mr. Kobert Summers'
life. He felt that be could not endure
the strain of It much longer, and, more
over, there was some peril In prolong'
Ing It.
Ho gave the last of the four weekf
to realizing on his Investments, and
tho Incipient boom his enterprise had
started made that an easier task than
he had anticipated.
Tin was rapidly rising In tho market,
for one thing, and ho disposed of hit
