what Eraaiv Elinunh Ti'- T was Bessie Evans' custom to spend her vacation days on her grand- mother's farm down in Newark County. Although born a city girl, Bessie revelled in the free outdoor air of the country, and, besides, she had always been her grandmother's favorite. She, being the eldest girl in a family of six, had gone to work as a stenographer in an office in the city the year before to assist in supporting the family. This year she had decided to spend the two, weeks' vacation allowed her bythe com- pany for which she worked, on her Grandmother Evans' place as usual. It would be a sad homestead to visit, for since her son's death, the old lady had the farm work done by a hired man. In addition there was a mortgage for nine hundred dollars on the farm held by 'Squire Ayer since Grandfather Evans' death. During the past year lVlrs. Evans had fallen behind with the interest owing to expenses incurred at her son's death. Bessie often lay awake at night, endeavoring to think of some method by which she could raise money to pay off the expenses so her grandmother might spend the remainder of her days in peace. It was about seven o'clock when Bessie found herself once more before the familiar farm house. Grandmother Evans was looking for her on the front porch in a new linen cap and clean dress.

I just happened to think-whatever became of the deed to that section of Florida land Grandpa bought so many years agof- that tumed out to be worth- less? Won't you let me see the deed, if you still have it? Her grandmother smiled doubtfully, but she said: ' Why of course you can see it if you really want to. You'll find it in the old leather trunk in the attic. A moment later Bessie was hurrying up the stairs to the attic, and, after picking her way over broken furniture and discarded clothing, she found the little trunk. Propping an old chair against the wall, she placed the candle-stick on its seat and pulled the trunk out of its hiding place. ln the dim light she managed to unbuckle the straps which bound the trunk and insert the key. The lock tumed with a creak and as it did so Bessie tossed back the lid and looked within. Remembering her grandmothers directions she lifted out the tray and began to ex- plore the contents. One by one she laid the articles on a paper beside her. Ar the bot- tom of the trunk was a packet of papers wrapped in linen and what appeared to be two
