For twenty years Aunt Lucia Mor
gan had boarded with Mrs Doil oi
Flint and fhe two front renins ah
occupied in that comfortable house
comprised the only home she had
known since she broke up housekeep
ing after her husbands death Zlu
had saved the choicest of her furni
ture and personal belongings and
either given away the remainder or
sold them She paid a wall for
her rooms and board and besides sev
eral other expenses for Aunt Luia
lived comfortably She was known 10
have a snug sum of money in thj lrl
for the Morgans had been well to Cj
and had Ihed 01 their interest noey
When Aunt Lucia died all her rela
tives who were nieces and nephew
Oh Wk

rs
TUOSIASINn COUNTED THE HONEY
gathered to pay her the last respects
After the funeral they sat in the front
room which she had used as a parlor
and listened in silence to the reading
of the brief will
The lawyer Mr Rhodes polished his
eyeglasses and adjusted them to his
long nose Ahem he said loudly
Of course you all participated in the
generous distribution of Mrs Morgans
household furniture some twenty odd
years ago
All the furniture in these two rooms
is bequeathed to Mrs Deacon Flint
in remembrance of her never failing
kindness all the furniture with the
following exceptions Bedstead and
mattresses mahogany bureau to match
light cherry stand work table morris
chair and wicker rocker to be divided
among my four nieces Jane Morris
Ann Squires Fanny Ray and Tbomas
ine Wells and my two nephews
George Giles and Luke Howe in what
ever manner my esteemed friend Hen
ry Rhodes may deem wise Once 1
more the lawyer challenged them to
dispute the justice of this will
Your aunt ajso wishes that several
personal belongings shall be divided
among you in the same way There
is a marble clock a pair of vases brass
andirons a china lamp a looking
glass and her parrot the stuffed par
rot You all recollect that this faith
ful bird was the companion of your
aunt for many lonely years and that
she esteemed it highly
Thomasine was the only one who
vouchsafed an acknowledgment of this
tribute to the defunct bird She never
had liked parrots she thought them
noisy screaming pests but because
poor Aunt Lucia was dead and had
thought to mention her dead pet in the
will Thomasine smiled and said they
had all heard that the parrot was de
voted to Aunt Lucia
The clothes and little personal be
longings were distributed among her
close friends before she died went on
the lawTer referring to the will Your
aunt has left a sum of money sufficient
to cover all necessary expenses and
if there is a little surplus it is to go
for the care of her burial plot Thats
all
I thought there was some money
remarked George Giles rubbing a sun
burned hand over his head in a puz
zled manner He was a prosperous
farmer and he had promised himself a
little pleasure trip with any legacy
he might receive from Aunt Lucia
Here are copies of the will said
the lawyer tersely handing around
duplicates of the document You may
keep these You will note that Mrs
Morgan especially emphasizes the fact
that each article and all it contains is
to go to the one who takes it away
She also suggests that the distribution
be made by choice the oldest one hav
ing first choice This I think would
be very proper
Very well said Ann Squires eager
ly She was the firstborn among
them The others signified assent with
more or less satisfaction according to
age Thomasine Wells felt very help
less somehow She would have liked
to choose the mahogany work table It
was very pretty with glass knobs on
the drawers but it was very likely
that one of the others would want
that
Thomasine was quite poor She had
been apprenticed to a dressmaker
when she was fifteen and now she
sewed at home in the few rooms she
hired In a small town fifty miles from
Little River The other heirs were well
to do farmer folk who had had many
opportunities to visit Aunt Lucia and
shower attentions upon her declining
years Poor Thomasine had had to J
niggle for a livelihood and only her
easioual letters and the carefully
ade Christmas gifts she made kept
jr in touch with her old aunt When
le had been a little girl she had
pent much time with Aunt Lucia and
ved her dearly and now she was
rntelul that the old lady had even
uinembered her sufficiently to men
ion her name in so important a docu
nent as a will
As Miss Wells must return to her
iome early tomorrow morning re
marked the lawyer it would seem
ue t for the heirs to make their choice
now and after the will has been pro
bated the articles will be sent on to
the owners I have a list of the heirs
compiled from the family Bible and
as Mrs Ann Squires is the oldest she
must have first choice of the furni
ture lie nodded to the lady in ques
tion
Iil take the bedstead and
and all it contains said Ann
Squires hastily
Fnsny Ray smiled bitterly and bent
her head to that of Jane Morris 1
knew shed take that I suppose she
thinks the mattresses are stuffed with
I ankuotes
Iluuph said Jane sourly Its
my turn next Fanny because you al
rryK ckrimed you was the youngest
ycu know
Mrs Ray smiled sheepishly Its
jet to go according to the records
she said faintly
Now Mrs Ray said the lawyer
sharply
Ill take the bureau said Fanuj
quickly The bureau afforded much
space for secreting treasure and there
might even be a hidden drawer
George Giles looked at the work ta
ble but he was a bachelor and shoo
his head Then he chose the morris
chair and Luke Howe passed the work
table and chose a patent rocker be
cause the covering was red Jane Mor
ris fidgeted impatiently while they
were choosing At last her turn came
I wanted that morris chair she
said bitterly but as its gone Ill
have to take the work table although
Ive got one already She looked con
temptuously at the remaining article
a small round cherry stand
Ill leave you the chair when Im
gone grinned George Giles
Now Miss Thomasine encouraged
the lawyer
Ill take the stand said Thomasino
forlornly
Now the other things Mrs Squires
your turn again
The marble clock said Ann prompt
Iy Jane and Fanny exchanged smiles
The vases said Fanny Ray
Lamp said George Giles
Luke Howe smirked at his reflection
in the looking glass and said hed take
that mucli to Jane Morris chagrin
Andirons she snapped viciously
though I dont want em
I Ill take the parrot faltered
Thomasine as each one arose and be
gan to investigate his or her especial
choice They were not unkind people
but each one was unconsciously greedy
of gain and none of them realized that
the youngest cousin was poor and that
the inheritance that had fallen to her
share was the poorest of the lot Aft
er the distribution had been made and
they had got over their disappoint
ment at there being no money they
would forget all unfriendliness and
perhaps invite Thomasine to spend va
cations with them
Now they were busily peering and
investigating into their different arti
cles with little success There was
nothing but dust in the vases and the
bureau contained naught save a col
lection of soap coupons There was a
dead wasp in the clock while the
work table contained many sewing ma
terials It did not occur to Jane that
Thomasine might need the work table
They parted later and the next morn
ing Thomasine went home and back to
work Ten days later the legacy came
by express the cherry stand and the
stuffed parrot on his perch Thomas
ine placed the parrot on the stand and
ctood them near the mantelpiece and
forgot them until one day she took in
a homeless cat whicli she fed and
warmed by the kitchen stove After
awhile the cat wandered into the little
ritting room and when he saw the
green parrot sitting on the perch he
snarled angrily and Hew at the unof
fending bird When Thomasine ran to
the scene the floor was covered with
bright feathers and the stuffing was
protruding from the body of the bird
The cat chagrined at this one sided
battle retired to a corner and washed
his face
Thomasine picked up the body of the
bird and wondered if she might not re
pair the damage with needle and
thread and glue Then her eyes open
ed wider and wider for the stuffing of
that parrot was composed of tight
wads and rolls of greenbacks and
twisted among them was a queer little
note from Aunt Lucia
Dear Thomasine I know theyll all pick
out the best and leave poor Polly to you
so I have made him worth while after all
You need all of this and you can keep
It without having any dispute over It
Mr Rhodes knows and you mustnt tell
anybody but your husband If you ever
have one but I dont see how you ever
can handicapped with that dreadful name
With Aunt Lucias love
Through her tears Thomasine count
ed the money and found there was
3000 and her worn little face was
glorified by a smile of perfect relief
Now she could close her sewing ma
chine and buy a farm and raise chick
ens As a beginning she closed the
machine with a loud clatter Then she
hugged the strange cat and adopted
him on the spot and thereafter he
waxed frf unO lazy and never even
blinked at the young chickens that ran
about Thcmasines poultry farm
And Ti masine never told a soul
about tin range way her legacy had
mo to until after she was mar-
i nr siie t0id jjei husband
f r of cc she got married
