By Samuel Warren. TTLEBAT TITMOUSE was a scrubby little clerk In a London dry goods store, His salary was $176 a year, and much of it went in gaudy clothes and cheap dissipation. He had wild longings for wealth and to cut a dash in the gay world. Then one day Mr. Tittlebat Titmouse was notified by a shady lawyer famed Gammon that he was heir to the big country estate of Yatton and to an income of 10,000 pounds ($50,000) a year. This property had belonged to Charles Aubrey, who lived at Yatton with his wife and children and his pretty sister, Kate Aubrey. They were Iked and respected, and Yatton had long ' een lu thelr family. But Gammon had come upon certain old documents that seemed to Drove the land and its income belonged by right to an older and more obscure branch of the family—a branch of which Tittlebat Titmouse was * Tittlebat entered at once into the enjoyment of his new found wealth, He lavnched upon a career of Showy vulgarity and dissipation that was the joke of all the neighborin county families and that mady his for- tune melt lke snow in July. Gammon got rich pickings from the transaction and proceeded to sue Charles for the back revenues of Yatton that had accrued during the years of the Aubrey occupancy, Aubrey could not pay this enormous sum—$900,000 and more. He was Penniless and hounded, and the debtor's prison yawned for him. But Gammon had meantime fallen in love with Kate Aubrey, and to further his sult with her he eased up for a while his persecution of her brother. Kate aid not suspect Gammon’e motive, And, like Charles, she was grateful for the lawyer's supposed kindness. Tittlebat by this time wss in Parilament, where he used to distinguish himeelf by crowing like a rooster whenever any orator of the opposition party was speaking, This brilliant feat of statesmanship attracted the admiration of the Earl of Dreddlington, a scoundrelly old peer, who hed no son and whose earldom would under former conditions have passed, at his death, to his distamt kinsman, Charles Aubrey. But now Tittlebat was its next heir, e . Dreddiington had one daughter—Lady Cecilia--a weak, colorless girl, who was wholly under her father's domination. The Earl ordered her to marry A ‘Tityebat.

And the family proceeded to endure all the woes and hardships wherewith olf time Novelists loved to afflict their model characters, But the hint Gammon had given Kate as to his power to restore Yatton to Charles bore fruit.
