Out of
Court.
BY
MRS. ALEXANDER.
(These Bhort serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach
eller.andare printed InThe Tribune by special arrangement, simultaneous With
their appearance in the leading dally Journals of the large cities).
The light of a fine evening In April
was fading as the Hover boat ruxhed
into Charing Cross station. and tin army
of porters boarded the luggage vans and
opened the carriage doors.
From a first-class compartment
fitt-pped a young man of perhaps twenty-eight
or thirty, ubove middle height
and well set. up. He wore a brown
tweed suit and brown boots. He had
alno a bronzed complexion, handsome,
pood-humored, bold brown eyes;
brown, wavy hair and long mustaches,
u shade or two lighter; in short, he was
brown all over. He turned to the car
riage and assisted a lady to alight, a
small, slight girl, who looked little
more than seventeen when she smiled
or spoke. Her cheeks were pale, but
her lips were ripe and rosy, while her
dark, delicate eyebrows and lashes
contrasted with her fair, reddish hair
and deep blue, nearly black, eyes, big
and lustrous.
She was dressed In blark very well
dressed in the sense of freshness and
beeomlngness but not richly.
' "Are your friends here to meet you?"
nsked the gentleman, taking a neat
leather bag from the carriage and hold
ing It for her, while he directed the
porter to carry his valise and heavy
overcoat.
"I expect a lady to mecf me, but I
have never seen her," returned the girl
with a smile. "So I feel a little puz
zled," her accent was foreign but her
English was fluent.
"Oh, I can get you a cab when you
have cleared your baggnge only you'll
feel rather blue, being all alone In this
wilderness on your first visit, too! I
can see you to your destination If you
like. I am quite disengaged!"
"You are very, very good, but I am
not at all timid "
Here a tall woman, In a fur-lined
Cloak and black velvet bonnet drawn
tightly over an exceedingly aiiulllne
mose, came up at a quick pace. "Oh!
are you Miss Cavallo?" she exclaimed
breathlessly.
"I am!" was the quick reply.
"Thank (lod. I was so afraid I
should be late! The busses are so full
Just about this time of day people
going to theaters and concerts and
what' riot! And I kept worrying and
worrying about you poor dear! to be
left by yourself all alone in this great
stony Btatlon! Come along and see toJ
your luggage you'll be glad to get to
the end of your Journey and to rest."
The lady spoke with great volubility
and with the true London twang.
'This Is your bag? I'll take charge
of It, sir," she continued, with p sus
picious, glance at her young friend's
traveling companion.
"Good evening," said Miss Cavallo,
holding out her hand, with some slight
".'
hesitation. "I shall always remember
your courtesy with pleasure." There
was a quiet, natural dignity In her
voice and manner.
"I hope to see you again!" exclaimed
the brown gentleman, eagerly.
"You are very good, but for the pres
ent It Is adieu."
"No! Au revolr!" hr returned, lifting
his hat with an air of greut deference.
He followed them Into the room where
the custom house otilcers examine (he
basgage, und there exchanged a few
good-looking fellow, though not what
could be called a handsome man. Din
ner was laid In a private room, where
before the fire stood a gentleman a
short, slight, light-colored man, clean
shaven, with sharp gray eyes and an
interrogative mouth. As the traveler
entered he exelalmed: "Ha! Forrester.
1 am heartily glad to see you!" and
they shook hands with great cor
diality. "How long Is It since we met?" asked
Forrester.
"Nearly seven yenrs, I think! and
you have been roasjlng for most of
them In some of the worst parts of
India! Yet you scarcely look a day
older, while Soudan has written itself
In wrinkles und crowsfeet on my
prematurely aged countenance and
dimmed the fire of my eyes!"
"They Jook devilish good still, my
dear fellow, and you seem In excel
lent case, while I suppose you have
been heaping up riches"
"Hut cannot tell who shall gather
them," Interrupted Dixon, with a
laugh. "For I begin to fear 1 am a
confirmed bachelor."
"Oh, pooh! you are too young to tnlk
like that. You are not so much older
than I am."
"Five years In time, ten In nature."
Here the waiter brought In dinner,
and during their repast the two friends

Again they. Bald good-bye and she I
walked away.
"Anyhow I know her address," hs
said to himself, as he unlocked his port
manteau for Inspection this was soon
accomplished, As he turned to leave,
he trod on something soft, and, looking
down, saw a black lace scarf -which he
recognized as one which his fellow
traveler had unfastened from her neck
and hung on her arm while In the train,
Il picked It up. "She's off by tills
time. I muRt send It or take It n
her" ho thought with a smile as ho
fol'd It utt and, thrust tt Into his pock
et, then he Jumped Into a cab and drove
to his hotol.
Here he was evidently expected, He
asked If dinner had been ordered, and
If Mr. Dixon was waiting for him.
Hearing he had not come yet, he re
tired to his room, from which he Issued
half at ( hour later, spick and span,
freshened and brushed up, a soldierly,
At length It was over. The 'waiter
put a bottle of special claret on the ta
ble, and by Forrester's orders a log of
wood on the fire. "We don't want it,"
he said; but one of the Joys of home
Hlfe Is to see a fire all the year
round."
They drew their chairs nearer, anil
Dixon with a kindly 'expression filled
his glass and sajd:
"Your health, Forrester, and success!
No one is happier than 1 am that your
hick has turned "at last only don't
throw away your money when you get
It."
"Why, Dlxonj I have It! There can
be no doubt I'm old Bclwyn's heir."
"Oh! well go Into business matters
presently! r never was more surprised
in my life than to find that your grand
uncle died intestate. He was such a
methodical, money loving man'. ' Cer
tainly we mever drew up any will for
him, though we manured all bla other
business, and he was most confidential
with my poor father."
They continued to talk on this sub
ject, their conversation showing that
Forrester was captain in a regiment of
Bengal lancers, and not troubled with
too much of this world's goods; that
his grand-uncle, brother of his mater
nal grandmother, was a miserly per
sonage who had amassed a large for
tune. He bad few relatives, and Cecil
Forrester was his nearest of kin.
Dixon, his guest, and man of business,
was one of his earliest friends. They
had been to school together. Dixon's
father had been trustee and confiden
tial! adviser to Forrester's mother, and
the management of the family affairs
seemed to belong of right to the firm
of Dixon & Phelps, Lincoln's inn.
"I could hardly believe my eyes,"
said Forrcter, pushing the bottle to
ward his guest. "When Trendy's letter
came giving me the news of old Sel
wyn's death without a will, I did not
know whether 1 was on my head or my
heels. Hy Jove! I didn't lose much time
In getting leave and telling the other
fellows there would be a move In the
regiment, for, of course, I'll send in my
papers. Then I explained mutters to
the money-lenders that bad their claws
in inc."
"I earnestly hope you are not heavily
Incumbered," said Dixon.
"A mere featherweight now, my dear
fellow, but a crushing load that was
forcing me down to ruin three months
ago. I've been an awful fool, Dixon,
but I shall be a ruck of sense lir future.
Lord! how easily It Is to be wise and
prudent and high-minded when your
pocket is well lined. By the way, you
must let me have some money, Dick,
and settle with my creditors, as soon
as possible!"
Dlxfljn pnused before replying.
"You sbull have some, of course!" he
said, "but 1 must warn you to be
prudent, for a claimant Bprung up
to dispute your Inheritance. I fancy it
Is a mere attempt to extort money, but,
It will cost you something to defend
yourself, so you had better hold your
hand till all preliminaries are settled."
"Why! wlu can dispute my claim?"
cried Forrester, Impatiently.
"It wns a great surprise to me. I as
sure you, to receive a letter from Wcl
ford & Son they are solicitors In Par
liament street stating that they were
Instructed to enforce the claim of their
client, the daughter of the late George
Selwyn, younger brother of our client
deceased, who was his nearest of kin."
"But George Selwyn never married!"
cried Forrester. '
"No one knew If he did! and I do
not believe It," returned Dixon. "He
wns a Bohemian, and rather a bad lot.
He was years younger than your grand
uncle, who used- to send him money
from time to lime. He died some years
ago."
"Then you do hot think there is much
to fear from this claim?"
"No; .but it may give us trouble!
However, it' Is a' warning not to be' too
secure, nor too lavish In your expendi
ture." "Why? What the devil do you mean,
Dixon? At the worst, this strange
cJnlmant would only divide the 'spoils
with me, and the plum old Selwyn' ,has
left behind him will stand two bites,
eh?" '
"Well, no! If George Selwyn's daugh
ter is legitimate she would take the
whole; she is thenlece, you are only
the grand-nephew."
"What an infernal shame! How dis
gracefully unjust the law Is," , cried
Forrester, with an angry light in his
eyes "
"It generally seems so, to those It
does not favor," returned Dixon dryly.
"But I think it may puzzle Wllford &
Son to make out a case. We'll see."
