ft.-' CHAPTER I. The Will of John Marshall Glenarm. Pi(-Verin?'s 1 fitter brinslnff news ol my grandfather's death found me at VnniM arlv in October. John Marshall Glenarm had died in June, i,Q,., o m arV.iPh trave me his rjroDerty conditionally, Pickering wrote, and it was necessary for me to return immpdiatPlv to aualifv as legatee. It was by the merest luck that the letter came to my hands at all, for it had been sent to Constantinople, in care of the consul-general instead of my banker there, and it was not Picker-: ing's fault that the consul was a friend of mine who kept track of my wander- j ings and was able to hurry the execu tor's letter after me to Italy, where , I had gone to meet an English financier who had, I was advised, unlimited money to spend on African railways. I am an engineer, a graduate of an American Institution familiarly known as "The Tech," and as my funds were running low I naturally turned to my profession for employment. But this letter changed my plans, and the following day I cabled Pick ering of my fleparture and was outward bound on a steamer for New York. Fourteen days later I sat in Pickering's office in the Alexis Building and listened intently while he read, with much ponderous emphasis, the provisions of my grandfather's will. When he concluded I laughed. Pickering was a serious man, and I was glad to see that my levity pained him. I had, for that matter, always been a source of annoyance to him, and his look of distrust and rebuke did not trouble me In the least. I reached across the table for the paper, and he gave the sealed and beribboned copy of John Marshall Glenarm's will into my hands. I read It through for myself, feeling conscious meanwhile that Pickering's cool gaze was bent inquiringly upon me. These are the paragraphs that interested me most: "I give and devise unto my said grandson, John Glenarm, sometime a resident of the city and state of New York, and later a vagabond of parts unknown, a certain property known as Glenarm House, with the lands and hereditaments thereunto pertaining and hereinafter more particularly described, and all personal effects, goods and other property that may be located in the premises and on the land herein described, the said realty lying In the county of Wabana In the state of Indiana. upon this condition, falthfully and honestly performed: "That said John Glenarm shall re main an occupant of said Glenarm House and of my lands appurtenant thereto, demeaning himself meanwhile In an orderly and temperate manner. Should he fail at any time during said year to comply with this provision, said property shall at once revert to for any process of law the property, absolutely, of Marian Devereux, of the county and state of New York. "Well," he demanded, striking his hands upon the arms of - his chair. 'what do you think of It?" For the life of me I could not help laughing again. There was, In the first place, a delicious irony in the fact that I should learn through him of my grandfather's wishes with re spect to myself. Pickering and I had grown up in the same town in Ver mont; we had attended the same pre paratory school, but there had been from boyhood a certain antagonism between us. He had always succeeded where I failed, which is to say, I must admit, that he had succeeded pretty frequently. When I refused to settle down to my profession, but chose to see something of the world first, Pick ering gave himself seriously to the law, and there was, I knew from the beginning, no manner of chance that he would fall I am not more or less than human, and I remembered with joy that once I had thrashed him soundly at the prep school for bullying a smaller boy but our score from school days was not without tallies on his side. He was easily the better scholar I grant him that; and he was shrewd and plausible. You never quite knew the extent of his powers and resources, and he had, I always mantained, the most amazing good luck. as witness the fact that John Marshall Glenarm had taken a friendly interest in him. It was wholly like my grandfather, who was a man of many whims, to give his affairs Into Pickering's keeping; and I could not complain, for I had missed my own chance with him. It was, I knew readily enough, part of my punishment for having succeeded so signally in incurring my grandfather's displeasure that he had made It necessary for me to treat with Arthur Pickering in this matter of the will; and Pickering was enjoying the situation to the full. But there was something not wholly honest in my mirth, for my conduct during the three preceding years had been reprehensible. I had used my grandfather shabbily. My parents died when I was a child, and he had cared for me as far back as my memory ran. He had suffered me to spend the fortune left by my father without re straint; he had expected much of me, d I had grievously disappointed him. It was his hope that I should devote myself to architecture, a jsrofessio

Nor shall I take time here to describe our travels in Africa, though our study of the Atlas mountain dwarfs won us honorable mention by the British Ethnological Society. These were my yesterdays; but today I sat in Arthur Pickering's office in the towering Alexis Building, conscious of the muffled roar of Broadway, discussing the terms of my grandfather Glenarm's will with a man whom I disliked as heartily as it is safe for one man to dislike another. Pickering had asked me a question, and I was suddenly aware that his eyes were fixed upon me and that he awaited my answer. "What do I think of It?" I repeated. "I don't know that it makes any difference what I think, but I'll tell you. if you want to know, that I call it infamous, outrageous, that a man should leave a ridiculous will of that sort behind him. All the old money-bags who pile up fortunes magnify the im portance of their money. They imagine that every kindness, every ordinary courtesy shown them, is merely a bid for a 6llce of the cake. I'm dis appointed in my grandfather. He was a splendid old man, though God knows he had his queer ways. I'll bet a thou sand dollars, if I have so much money in the world, that this scheme is yours, Pickering, and not his. It smacks of your ancient vindictlveness, and John Marshall Glenarm had none of that in his blood. That stipulation about my residence out there is fantastic. I don't have to be a lawyer to know "Well, What Do You Think of It?" that; and no doubt I could break the will; I've a good notion to try it, anyhow." "To be sure. You can tie up the estate for a half dozen years If you like," he replied coolly. He did not look upon me as likely to become a formidable litigant. My staying qualities had been proved weak long ago, as Pickering knew well enough. "No doubt you would like that," I answered. "But I'm not going to give you the pleasure. I abide by the terms of the will. My grandfather was a fine old gentleman. I shan't drag his name through the courts, not even to please you, Arthur Pickering," I declared hotly. "The sentiment ls worthy of a good man, Glenarm," he rejoined. "But this woman who is to succeed to ray rights, I don't seem to remember her." "It is not surprising that you never heard of her." "Then she's not a connection of the familv nn lnnp-.lnst rnnsin -afcr, T ought to remember'" 'vn- Kh w a 9,naintaa f your grandfather. He met her through an old menu of his, Miss Evans. known as Sister Theresa. Miss Devereux is Sister Theresa's niece." I whistled. I had a dim recollection that during my grandfather's long widowerhood there were occasional reports that he was about to marry. The name of Miss Evans had been mentioned in this connection. I had heard It spoken of in my family, and not, I remembered, with much kindness. Later I heard of her joining a Sisterhood, and opening a school somewhere In the West. "And Miss Devereux, Is she an elderly nun. too?" "I don't know how elderly she Is, but she isn't a nun at present. Still, she's very much alone in the world, and she and Sister Theresa are very intimate. ' "Pass the will again, Pickering. J "While I make sure I grasp these diverVJ

ing Ideas. Sister Theresa Isn't the on I mustn't marry is 6he? It's the other ecclesiastical embroidery artist, the one with the "x" in her name, suggesting the algebra of my vanishing youth." I read aloud this paragraph: "Provided, further, that in event said John Glenarm aforesaid shall marry the said Marian Devereux, or

In the event of any promise or contract of marriage between said persons within five years from the date or said John Glenarm's acceptance of the provisions of this will, the whole estate shall become the property absolutely of St. Agatha's School, at Annandale, abana county, Indiana, a corporation under the laws of said state." "For a touch of comedy commend me to my grandfather! Pickering. you always were a well-meaning fel low, I'll turn over to you all my right, Interest and title in and to these angelic sisters. Marry! I like the idea! j supp0se some one will try to marry me for my money. Marriage, Pickerlng la not embraced in my scheme of life!T ehouId hardly call you a marrying man." he observed. "Perfectly right, my friend! Sister Theresa was considered a possible match for my grandfather In my youth. I'm quite out of It with her. And the other lady with the fascinating algebraic climax to her name, she, too, Is impossible; it seems that I can't get the money by marrying her. I'd better let her take it. She's as poor as the devil, I dare say." "I Imagine not. The Evanses are a wealthy family, In spots, and she ought to have some money of her own, if her aunt doesn't coax it out of her for educational schemes." "And where on the map are these lovely creatures to be found?" "Sister Theresa's school adjoins your preserve; Miss Devereux has, I think, some of your own weakness for travel. Sister Theresa is her nearest relative, and she occasionally visits St. Agatha's that's the school." "I suppose they embroider altarcloths together and otherwise labor valiantly to bring confusion upon satan and hfs cohorts. Just the people to pull the wool over the eyes of my grandfather!" Pickering smiled at my resentment. "You'd better give them a wide berth; they might catch you in their net. Sister Theresa is said to have quite a winning way. She certainly plucked your grandfather." "Nuns in spectacles, the gentle educators of youth and that sort of thing, with a good-natured old man for their prey. None of them for me!" "I rather thought so," remarked Pickering, and he pulled his watch from his pocket and turned the stem with his heavy fingers. He was short, thickset and sleek, with a square Jaw, halr already thin and a close-clipped musiacuw. Age, a Lut'uia.tij' icucticu, was not improving him. I had no Intention of allowmg him to see that I was irritated. I drew out my cigarette case and passed it across the table. "After you! They're made quite specially for me in Madrid." "You forget that I never use tobacco in any form." "You always did miss a good deal of the joy of living," I observed, throwing my smoking match into his wastepaper basket, to his obvious annoyance. " wen, im tne Daa Doy oi tne story-books; but I'm really sorry my Inheritance has a string tied to it. I'm about out of money. I suppose you wouldn't advance me a few thousands on my expectation " "Not a cent," he declared, with quite unnecessary vigor; and I laughed again, remembering that in my old annralsement of him generosity had not been represented in large figures, "It's not in keeping with your grandfather's wishes that I should do so. You must have spent a good bit of money in your tiger hunting exploits," he added. "I have spent all I had," I replied amiably. "Thank God, I'm not a clamT I've seen the world and paid for it, and I ask nothing of you. You undoubt edly share my grandfather's idea of me, that I'm a wild man who can't sit still or lead an orderly, decent life; but I'm going to give you a terrible disappointment. What's the size of the estate?" Pickering eyed me uneasily. I thought and began playing with a pencil. I never liked Pickering's hands; they were thick and white and better kept than I like to see a man's hands. "1 fear it's going to be disappointing. In his trust-company boxes here I have been able to find only about ten thousand dollars! worth of securities Possibly quite possibly we were all deceived in the amount of his fortune, Sister Theresa wheedled large sums i ... . ... OUl Or mm. and be Spent, as you will Be a small fortune on the house at Annandale without finishing it. It wa8Q,t a clP proposition, and in its uu""'5"u conamon u. is yiatuv-au, valueless. You must know tnat Mr. Glenarm gave away a great deal of money in his lifetime. Moreover, he established your father. You know what he left, it was not a small fortune as those thing3 are reckoned." I was restless under this recital. My father's estate had been of respectable si6, and I had dissipated the whole of My conscience pricked me as recalled an item of $40,000 that I had spent somewhere grandly on an expedition that I led, with considerable satisfaction to myself, at least, through the Sudan. But Pickering's words amazed me. Let me understand you," I said. bending toward him. "My grandfather was supposed to be rich, and vet vou tell me you find little property. Sister Theresa got monev from him to hln build a school. How much wa3 that!"

"Fifty thousand dollars. It was an open account. His books show the advances, but he took no notes." "And that claim Is worth?" "It is good as against her. individually. But she contends" "Yes, go on!" I had struck the right note. He was annoyed by my persistence and his ap

parent discomfort pleased me. She refuses to pay. She says Mr. Glenarm made her a gift of the money.' "That's possible, isn't It? He was forever making gifts to churches. Schools and theological seminaries were a sort of weakness with him." "We'll pass that. If you get this money the estate is worth $60,000, plus the value of the land out there at Annandale, and Glenarm House is worth" "There you have me!" It was the first lightness he had shown, and it put me on guard. "I should like an idea of its value. Even an unfinished house Is worth something." "Land out there is worth from $100 to $150 an acre. There's an even hun dred acrea rn glad to have your appraisement of the house when you get there "Humph! You flatter ray judgment, Pickering. The loose stuff there is worth how much?" "It's all In the library. Your grandfather's weakness waa architecture "So I remember!" I Interposed, recalling my stormy interviews wTth John Marshall Glenarm over my choice of a profession. "In his last years he turned more and more to his books. He placed out there what is, I suppose, the finest collection of books relating to architecture to be found in this country. That was his chief hobby, after church af fairs, as you may remember, and he rode it hard. But he derived a great deal of satisfaction from his studies. I laughed again; it was easier to laugh than to cry over the situation. "I suppose he wanted me to sit down there, surrounded by works on archi tecture, with the ide that a study of the subject would be my only resource. The scheme is eminently Glenarmian! And all I fet is a worthless house, a hundred acres of land, $10,000, nd a doubtful claim against a Protestant nun who hoodwinked my grandfather into setting up a school for her. Bless you heart, man, so far as my inheri tance Is concerned it would have been money in my pocket to have stayed In Africa." "That's about the size of it." "But the personal property ls all mine, anything that's loose on the place. Perhaps my grandfather plant ed old plate and government bonds Must t0 P1 the curiosity of his heirs, successors and assigns. It would be in keeping!" I had walked to the window and looked out across the city. As I turned suddenly I found Pickering's eye bent upon me with curious Intentness. I had never liked his eyes; they were too steady. When a man always meets yur Saze tranquilly and readily, It is just as well to be wary of him "Yes; no doubt you will find the place literally packed with treasure," he said, and laughed. "When you find anything you might wire me." He smiled; the idea seemed to give him pleasure. "Are you sure there's nothing else?" I asked. "No substitute, no codicil?" If you know of anything of the kind it's your duty to produce It. We have exhausted the possibilities. I'll admit that the provisions of the will are un usual; your grandfather was a peca liar man in many respeets; but he was thoroughly sane and his faculties were all sound to the last." "He treated me a lot better than I I deserved," I said, with a heartache j that I had not known often In my irre sponsible life; but I could not afford to show feeling before Arthur Picker ing. I picked up the copy of the will and examined it. It was undoubtedly au thentic; it bore the certificate of the clerk of Wabana county, Indiana. The witnesses were Thomas Bates and Arthur Pickering. "Who ls Bates?" I asSed. pointing to the man's signature "One of your grandfather's discoeries. He'3 in charge of the house out there, and a trustworthy fellow. He's a fair cook, among other things dont know where Mr. Glenarm got Bates, but he had every confidence in him. The man was with him at the end." A picture of my grandfather dying, alone with a servant, while I, his only kinsman, wandered in strange lands, was not one that I could contemplate with much satisfaction. My grandfather had been an odd little figure of a man, who always wore a long black coat, silk hat, and carried a curious sliver-headed staff, and said puzzling 4V. .u ; . t iu.u&o a.L wmcu everyooay was auam either to laugh or to cry. The though of him touched me now. I was glad to feel that his money had never been a lure to me; It did not matter whether his estate wa3 great or small, I could at least, ease my conscience by obey ing the behest of the old man whose name I bore, and whose interest in the finer things of life and art had given him an undeniable distinction. "I should like to know something of Mr. Glenarm's last days," I said abruptly. I "He wished to visit the village where he was born, and Bates, his companion and servant, went to Vermont with htm. He died quite suddenly, and was burled beside his father in the old village cemetery. I saw nim last early in the summer. I was away from home and did not know of his death until It was all over. Bates camo to report it to me, and to sien the necessary papers in probating the will. It had to be done in tie nlace of th dcedent's residence, and we went to

I was silent after tils, looking out toward the sea that had called me since my earliest dreatas of the world that lay beyond it T8, ,POOr sUke- CHnna." remarked Pickering consolingly, and I wheeled upon htm. "I suppose you think it a poor stake' I suppose you can't see anything In that old man's life beyond his money but I don't care a curse wnat my inheritance is! I never obeyed any of my grandfather's wishes in his Ufa. time, but now that he's dead his last wish is mandatory. I'm going' out there to spend a year if I j0r Do you get my Idea?" j-iuLupu; iou aiwaya were a stormy petrel," he sneered. "I fancy it will be safer to keep our most agreeable acquaintance on a strictly business basis. If you accept the terms of the will "Of course I accept them! Do you think I am going to ake a row, refuse to fulfill that old man's last wish!. I Found Pickering's Eyes Bsnt Up&i Me With Curiom Intentness. I gave him enough trouble in his Ufa without disappointing him in hii grave. I suppose you'd like to have me fight the will; but I'm going to dis 'appoint you." He said nothing, but played with hi pencil. I had never disliked him sa heartily; he was bo smug and comfort able. His office breathed the verji spirit of prosperity.
