I FARWELL'S
FREAK
She Knew How lo Turn
the Tables
By Clarissa Mackie
ATYVVVYVYVYYYVYVYVYVYVYYY
Tho wind was blowing through tho
pecan grove, and all the leaves rustled
softly. Evo Far well looked up into the
tnaro of branches whero the green
nuts bung thickly.
In a trice she bad swung herself to
a lower branch and with boyish agility
reached the trunk of tho largest treo
nnd climbed into the shelter of its
thick greenery. Hore two largo branch
es rubbed together nnd formed a capi
tal seat if one loved the whispering
solitude of tho trootops.
Eve settled herself for a long after
noon of enjoyment. Ucr book lay un
opened on her knees ai sho gasod at n
picture of which sbo never tired.
AH at once Uiere camo a shrill whls
tls that denoted the presence of Andy
Morgan, her father's foreman. Ha was
not far away. Ho was riding through
the aisles of treo trunks below, and be
was not alone.
Etc bent over and gaxod down at flJa
straight, well knit flguro riding the
black horse. He was gazing directly
ahead, and the brim of his hat shaded
his chin, where Evo knew a dimple
lurked. A tender smilo played about
Eve's Hps. and tho very intensity of
her gaae must have attractod his
glance to her had ho not been abeorbed
In conversation with another man
whom Eve did not recognize, although
ho was riding one of her father's
horses. She saw n pair of brown, well
shaped bands grasping the bridle reins
and the crown of his big hat, and she
noted that he sat well In tho saddlo.
Thoy stopped beneath the big pecan
treo where sho was hidden, and Mor
gan slipped from his animal and tlght
onod a girth. Then ho leaned lazily
against the tree trunk and rolled a
cigarette.
"You'll like it here all right, Webb."
he was saying. "Tho old man's fair
and square enouRh.'
"I think I shall like It first rate."
said the other man heartily, and Eve
liked his voice nt once. It was deep
and pleasant "Farwell's got a pretty
sizable ranch here."
"Yes; it'll take us a couple of days to
ride over It." returned Andy, and then
In a tone which Eve had nevor heard
from his Hps be added, "It will bo an
easy matter If you want to got into
partnership with the old man."
"How's that?" asked Webb. "Is be
nnsiouB to soil?"
"Not exactly. But he's made It pret
ty plain that whoever marries his
daughter can have a thousand acres
and welcome. Wants to keep her near
home not that there's any danger of
his losing her in that wayl" Audy
laughed scornfully.
"I didn't know that ho had a daugh
ter," said Webb rather coldly.
"Oh, yes; a regular freak thin and
scrawny, with red hair nnd freckles!
That's what we call her around hore
'Farwell's freak.' She's Inclined to be
soft in my direction."
"Oh, hang it all, Morgan, a girl can't
help her appearance, you know," ob
jected Webb In a displeased tono. "1
may as well be plain with you as long
as I am to be here and we aro to be
constantly nssoclated. I don't stand for
any of this careless talk about wom
en. I have a mother and sisters back
home, and they mean a good deal to
me, and because of them all women nre
entitled to my protection. I'm not a
milk and water chap, but overy man
has his own Idoas about things, and I
might ns well tell you that that's the
chip on my shoulder, and I hopo no
body around here knocks it off I" He
spoke firmly and pleasantly.
Audy Morgan laughed again not a
nice laugh to hear. "Oh. very well,
Webb," ho said carelessly. "I'll warn
tho boys to confine their talk, to the
weather and the latest styles In dude
collars from the east"
"They are certainly Bafo topics," re
torted Webb calmly as ho followed his
companion through the grove and out
Into the open plain.
Evo Farwell leaned against the tree
trunk nud closed her eyes. Her face
was white and strained nnd certainly
did look very plain Just now. She
could hardly believe that it had been
Andy Morgan who had spoken so care
lessly about her. Why, Andy had made
love to her, and she Eve's white faco
suddenly went scnrlot and was hidden
in her tbln llttlo bands. Sho loved
handsome Andy Morgan with a girl's
first love, and sho had betrayed her
liking, and he, the coward, was mak
ing a Jest of it to this newcomerl What
had Andy not said to tho other mon on
the ranch?
What sensitive Evo Fnrwoll suffered
up thcro in tho pecan treo to which
she had gono so happily nobody might
know, but when she finally desconded
a pink spot burned in either cheok, and
her red hair was tossed into a becom
ing fluff around her ears. With her
red brown eyes and scarlet Hps even
Andy Morgan could not have called
her n "freak." although sho was thin.
Pleading a headache, Evo fled to her
room. Her Aunt Janet, who kept
house for the widowed ranchman and
his daughter, camo nnd brought her
nleco n cup of strong tea and bits of
nows from below stairs.
"Your father bad Andy and tho now
man. Mr. Webb, in to supper tonight,"
chatted Aunt Janet. "I llko Mr. Webb
so much. Ho Is very handsomo and
very inch a gentlcmnn. Yonr father
. was disappointed that you aro sick.
; He wanted you to come down nnd play
accompaniments for him."
' i Eve made no nnswer. She lay there
staring into the darkness, scarcely
hearing the music that stole up to her
chamber. Her thoughts were busy
ones.
"Aunt ,1a net." she 'said suddenly,
"you'd like to have me go cast for a
long visit, wouldn't you?"
"Yes. Sarah says it isn't fair that
her only niece should be burled nllvo
here in Texas when sho can givo her
a lovely winter In New York. Your
Aunt Hnrnh has money. Eve, but she
needs some one to help her spend it.
It would do you n world of good."
"If father consents I'd like to go at
once," went on Eve. "If 1 do go you
wUl take a vacation when I return,
won't you. Aunt Janet?"
Miss Earwcll leaned over nnd kissed
her niece. "Certainly, dear. I'd like n
chango myself. You go and have your
fling, and then when you return I'll go
nnd have my fling!" sho laughed com
fortably. It was settled that way. Neither
Abuer Farwcll nor his sister under
stood Eve's feverish desire to get away
from tho ranch, but thoy holped hor
all they could. There w ere an exchange
of telegrams with Aunt Sarah in New
York and n fow hurried preparations
by tho two women at tho ranch. Then
early one morning Abner Farwoll
bitched tho grays to the buckboard,
and, with Eve's trunk strapped on be
hind, he took her to the nearest rail
road station.
Her sudden dopartnre was a surprlso
to the men on tho ranch. Mnnv of
them she had known slnco childhood,
nnd thoy had a warm place in her
heart. All liked her sweet disposition
If they did not admlro her rather plain
face. The new assistant foreman,
Webb, had never seen her at nil so
swift was her going.
As for Andy Morgan, this sudden
vanishing of the girl ho had heartlessly
criticised remained a mystery. It was
also a blow to his extromo vanity.
Evo's winter in Now York lengthened
into a year, and tho pecans wero onco
more hanging thickly In the groves,
and tho same caressing wind was mak
ing music in the branches.
She came unannounced. A cattlo
wagon from a distant ranch was at
the station. Somo expected freight bad
not arrived, and It was going away
empty when Evo hailed tho driver.
"Can you tako mo to Farwell's?"
she asked the man. "I didn't havo
time to send word I was coming."
"Suro thing!" he answered cordially.
"I'll tote your trunks. I reckon you
got a mighty lot of pretties In all those
big salrytogers."
"Yes. I have," smiled Evo through
her thick veil.
"I reckon you're some kin to tho
Fnrwells," ho suggested as they drovo
along.
"Why?" asked Eve, although sho
could guess his bewlldermont.
"You look a lot Hko Farwell's girl,
Eve. I ain't seen her In n month of
Sundays."
"Not for n year, Joe Flanders," laugh
ed Eve suddenly. "Don't you recognize
old friends?"
Flanders stared nmazedly. Tho faco
he saw through tho veil was wonder
fully round and fair, nnd Evo Farwell
had been thin as a rail. He shook his
head doubtfully. "My gosh, you're
either Joshln' me or elso you've been
fattenln' up some!" ho blurted forth.
Evo threw back hor head and laugh
or such a sweet, merry laugh that Joo
Flanders recognized her nt once.
"Nobody but Evo Farwell could
laugh like that" he admitted. "If
you'd take off that veil I could Identify
you further."
Eve removed tho veil and looked at
him with mischief in her red brown
eyes. .loo Flanders stared until the
tears came from his strained orbs.
"Good heavens, girl, what have you
been dotu'? Why, you're a dream of
beauty!" ho gasped.
A lovely color flushed Eve's perfect
complexion. She certainly had devel
oped wonderfully during that year in
New York. Dancing and gymnastics,
pleasure and happiness under tho wise
guidance of Aunt Sarah's trained ex
perience had changed "Farwell's freak"
into a beauty. Tho red hair gleamed
and glistened like red gold against her
white brow, nnd tho arched dark eye
brows added to the beauty of tho red
brown eyes boncath. Hor flguro was
perfect now. Surely Evo Farwell had
come into her heritage
"I'm glnd you Hko me. Joe," said
Eve wistfully.
"Bless your heart, Eve, I've always
liked you. But this is n surprise. 1
wonder If I spent a year lu New York
they'd turn mo out a ravin' beauty.
What say?"
"When ho left Evo nt tho Farwoll
ranch It was to seo hor swallowed up
In tho embrace of father and aunt.
Later at tho supper table there was a
surprise in storo for Andy Morgan.
"Evo Evo," ho stammored as sho
gave a cool llttlo hand into his for a
brief instant, "you're changed some."
Ho stepped back as Webb camo for
ward, and Mr. Farwoll proudly mado
tho introduction to his daughter.
Evo never forgot Webb's surprised
glance that swept from her lovely faco
to tho chagrined countenance of Andy
Morgan.
Then Webb's straight glanco camo
back to her eyes and scorned to And
something thcro that satisfied him. A
thrill passed between them, but at tho
moment they did not understand Its
meaning.
Afterward Evo know that tho old,
unworthy lovo had died that day wbon
sho sat high among tho pecan branches
and heard Mark Webb's plain state
ment of his attitude toward women.
And sho rejoiced that always she
would have this bravo knight to de
fend ber.
ASTOR'S ESTATE
IS $80000,000
Appraiser Guts It Millions Under
Popular Estimate.
LARGE INHERITANCE TAX PAID
Check For $3,150,000 Sent to the New
York State Comptroller by the Colo
nel's Executors His New York Real
ty $62,850,000.
It Is tho best guess of the executors
of the estato of Colonel John Jncob
Astor that his estate Is not worth more
than $80,000,000, Instuud of the much
larger estimates herctoflp- made.
Their opinion took the form recently
of n certified check for $.1,150,000 sent
to State Comptroller Sohtner for tho
account of tho inheritance tax due In
Now York.
The law provides for a rebate of 5
per cent of the tax on payments mnde
within six months of the death of tho
testator.
Estates in excess of $1,000,000 and
falling to hclrsjn direct line, llko Colo
nel Astor's, pay an inheritance tax of
4 per cent to the state. On this basis
the check represents a principal of
$78,750,000. Newport property, not as
sessable In New York, raises tho total
estimate to $80,000,000.
Tho payment is the largest Inheri
tance tax paid on a single estate in
Now York slnco tho enactment of tho
law, twenty-seven years ngo. It is
nearly one-third as large as the cntlro
tax collected in tho fiscal year ending
Sept. 30.
Appraisal Not Ended.
Thcro was no object in tho payment
except to earn tho legal rebato of 5
per cent. .Tnmes Roosevelt Roosevelt,
Douglns Robinson and NIcholns Riddle,
the executors, join In advising tho
comptroller that tho present estimates
nre preliminary and that appraisals
will not be finished for several weeks.
Tentative appraisements of Colonel
Astor's real estate In the city aggre
gate $02,S50,000. These holdings had
been popularly supposed to be worth
$100,000,000. When flnnl reports are In
and hearings are held to determine ex
act values comparisons may bo mado
between tho figures In the city tax
books nnd those of outside experts.
Robert E. Dowllng is nppralslng tho
Broadway and upper Broadway prop
erties nnd thoso lying on either side
of Fifth avenue between Madison and
Sixth avenues. His preliminary report
shows a total of about $54,000,000.
Kept Records In Old Way.
Before undertaking this work Mr.
Dowllng went to tho olllco of the As
tor estate for surveys to mark the ex
net location of each parcel of laud,
taxes and other expenses of mainte
nance and the rentals received In or
der to figure the net income. Ho found
that the estato had never kept any
thing of the kind, but had been con
tent to do business by keeping tho
leases in strong boxes and recording
everything else In account books. A
few city maps furnished the oillce with
all its requirements in tho matter of
reference. Mr. Dowllng is preparing
detailed maps of every piece of land,
which he has compiled In handsomo
books.
Clarence J. Ramsey was appointed
to nppralsa west side properties, in
cluding docks. Ills estimates amount
to about $2,700,000. Clarenco W. Eck
hardt appraised east sldo properties nt
about $1,530,000, and Joseph P. Day
figured the Bronx lands nt $1,500,000.

Tentative figures ou tho vnluo of
paintings, engravings, miniatures, stat
uary and bronzes la Colonel Astor's
Fif Ui avenue residence nnd In his coun
try house in Rhlnebcck were mado by
Edwin C. llolston. He figures them
worth $400,000. Benjamin H. nerts
has appraised tho other personal prop
erty of Colonel Astor of his town nnd
country homes at $387,005. Illram K.
Knnpp is nppralslng tho personal prop
erty of Colonel Astor In his towu nnd
