estate was conservatively estimated at
over a million.
Talcott had found little difficulty in
disposing of two farms and some cen-
tral business property, for he was will-
lug to give bargains. His wealth had
dazzled him. When at home in

“Tell me all about it,” he invited
expansively, and seated himself so
near to her and looked into her eyes
with his deep blue ones so interested,
that her color rose slightly.
Mabel explained the philanthropic
work of her friends and herself—the
founding of a vacation home for tired
mothers and ailing bables from the
city during the pestilent summer sea-
son. He kept her talking, her sweet
voice seemed to charm him. As the
true nobility of her lifework was real-
ized In his impetuous mind, he forgot
wealthy Miss Winston. He leaned to-
wards Mabel, the words upon his ar-
dent tongue that would have made her
his life helpmeet, when there was
wn interruption. Three chattering
ladies entered the room. The momen-
tary speli of better impulses was
broken.
Perhaps it was because of Mabel,
perhaps the way of his profligate na-
ture, but he seemed pleased at the
opportunity of doing some good. As
the other ladies repeated the story
Mabel had already told, Talcott had a
vast surprise of an answer to the ap-
peal ready.
“Ladies,” he said quietly, “it will be

All were astounded, more, thrilled.
