A . \ \ Know Their Wants, but Want to Know Where to Supply ANNIE'S LOVE AFFAIR By GEORGE MUNSON. When Jim Maine went after any- thing he went after it tooth and nail. That was the spirit in which he went after Miss Martha Crowe's property. Martha Crowe had had the reputa- tion of a miser, but nobody imagined that, in addition to the cottage in which she and Miss Annie, her niece by marriage, dwelled, she had nine thousand dollars in the bank, the fruit of hoarding and clever investment. And the will that old Maine produced gave him everything except the cot- tage and the land on which it stood. It was Annie's engagement to Tom Claflin that provoked the old woman's rage. Annie had been a drudge ever since her aunt adopted her at the age of ten, fifteen years before, No- body had thought that the plain, quiet girl would ever marry. But Claflin, the young lawyer, saw underneath the plain exterlor—saw the heart of gold and the sterling character and loving | nature, long subdued and repressed, but not killed. Annie had longed to lavish her tenderness on the crabbed old woman—then, after years of vain effort to win her love, Tom had come along and claimed her, When the miserly old woman heard of it she expressed herself in charac- teristic fashion. “Not one penny of my money will you get, you ungrateful child, if you leave me in my old age,” she said, “But, Aunt, we want you to make your home with us,” girl. That only fanned the old woman's wrath, She sent for Maine. He was her only friend. He was an elder | in some primitive tabernacle, and Miss Martha belonged to it. The congrega- tion were narrow fanatics, self-right-| eous Pharisees who thought all hunmn love an abomination. “You'd best stay with your aunL and give that Claflin fellow the | shake,” leered old Jim, He was the protested the | \it? “|lt Takes a Big Man to Cross My will” {of prison proved too strong for his [the court room, after the court had | | the wise thing in withdrawing, young gers off the nine thousand dollars. And his witnesses were stanch to him. On the day before the trial the young lawyer received a visit from a fellow lawyer in the next town. “I heard about your case, Claflin,” | he said. “I think this puts a new | light on the transaction, doesn’t it?” | And he threw a document upon the table. Tom picked it up. It was an- other will of Miss Martha's, *“She made that about a month ago,” sald the visitor. “Came over to Sta- pleton to do it, I guess, so that nobody in this town ehould know. Of course, it antedates the will you are fighting over, but—" Claflin sat long in thought that eve ning. “Tom, won't you withdraw at the last moment?” pleaded Annie in court the next morning. “Dear, we have the cottage—and, after all, that wm may be genuine.” Tom said nothing but clasped har hand in his. And Annie resigned hem ! self to her lover's will in the matter, | When the case was called, however, he amazed the court and spectators by saying: *“We do not accept this will as genu- ine, Your Honor, but, in deference to | the wishes of my client we are willing to accept the sworn statement of Mr. Maine and his witness to the effect that the will is genuine, and to with- draw.” And the will was admitted to pro- bate, Maine was flushed with triumph. He was not the man to let well enough alone. The revulsion from his fears | good sense. He came up to Tom in! adjourned. “Wall,” he sneered, “I guess you did man. You'd have lost your case, and 11'd have had you driven out of town, too. It takes a big man to cross my will.” “I hope you'll enjoy your property,” said Tom, *“But why didn't you take the cottage, too, while you were about You threw away two or three ! thousand dollars there. And you ! might just as well ]mw had it if you had had the nerve.’ “What do you mean?” bellowed Maine truculently, “I mean,” sald Tom, thrusting his face forward and looking the other squarely in the eye, “that if you hadn't been a thief and a rogue you would have got everything.
