Mary Lois Swartzendruber K SYNOPSIS When Mr. Keith died he willed almost all of his money to his niece, Lorna, provided that she always told the truth until she was 21 and did not fall in love and marry by that time. James Emerson was to inherit a sum of money if he could prove to three witnesses that he was master of his house. Mrs. Emerson induced a book salesman to make love to Lorna and also provided other attractions for her. Lorna seemed almost to lose the inheritance partly through the ef- forts of Lily White, the colored maid, who also mixed things up for several others when she interpreted the boys' talk of her as being the-ir girl friends instead of their delapidated automobiles. Lorna, however, remained true to her pledge to tell the truth under all circum- stances and the boys learned of the antics of Lily in time to get on good terms with their respective girl friends. And best of all, James Emerson lays down the law for his household. -M. J. B. '44 f--14--
