THE BROTHERS
1 'Well, if I bad determined to ~o to
peruiuou i wouiu not imi to unci
. ia the workhouse."
I had been closely observing my uncle
for more than two hours, and diligently
noting his words and gestures,
when his utterance of this remarkable
senteuce confirmed the dislike of him
which I had conceived at our first
meeting. With only a brief and narrow
experience of men and manners,
the words impressed me as harsh, not
to say brutal, for a rich man to address
to an only brother whom he had
not seen for twenty years, and who
was comparatively poor.
**I have made no such determination."
said my father. "As for the
workhouse, my Income is still some
TOO pounds a year more thau nothing,
and I don't anticipate becoming a burden
to anybody, not even"?turning
his face toward ine and smiling?"my j
oven son.''
"Seven hundred pounds!" exclaimed
my uncle Sam. contemptuously, "seven
hundred pounds! And what will that
pitiful sum do toward maintaining a
gentleman for twelve months? Why.
there are four of the men in my pay
who each earn 81300 more than your
entire income! But how's this? Holdenhurst
used not to be such a beggarly
property, or my memory is worse
than 1 thought it was."'
While my father is occupied with the
melancholy recital oJ the causes, natural
and political, o* the enormous depreciation
of agricultural vaiues in
England?which in ten years had reduced
his income by rather more than
half?I will furnish the reader with a
brief history of the men thus engaged.
When little more than ten years old
Bay father, Robert Truman, hud sue- j
ceeded to an estate of 2000 acres, eon
istlng of two entire parishes, Holuenhurst
Major and Holdenhurst Minor,
situate a few miles from Bury St. Edmund's.
in Suffolk. On his coming of
?ce Robert Truman found himself the
possessor of a rent roll of floOO. a '
lump sum of abcut ?12,000. which bail
accumulated during bis minority, and i
a large nondescript manor bouse of J
which no archaeologist could determine
tbe date or order, it had been so
much altered and added to at various
periods. Tbe estate, which had
formed part of the immense possessions
of the rich abbots of Bury. was.
noon tbe dissolution of the abbey there,
ettled by Henry VIII. iu perpetuity
upon the first member of my family :
of whom there erists any record.
With but one relation in tbe world? j

ast majority of mankind. But that
balano* which men adjust where for- j
tune has shown more favor to one j
than to another, themselves making
the tale of human happiness and mis- !
ery nearly the same in all eases, was i
soon made apparent l?v the two broth- '
er>. The affections of these voting |
men centred upon one girl. Samuel j
was the favored lover. But women
bad few rights and many wrougs in ,

so the beauty of HoidenhurKt became
the wife of Robert Truman: her father.
a small fanner nrubiilous of forming
a family connection with the
"Squire,"' having so commanded her. !
Before the marriage my uncle Sam ;
left England for America with the ex- |
pressed intention of never a grin vis- i
Itlng hi* native 'and. In le?* than a j
year my father had lost by death the |
wife he had thus acquired: a loss
which, though it deeply affected him.
was patiently l)orne for ihe sake of
he infant boy who was at once the
cause of his sorrow and liis hope.
. In American Samuel Truro a u bad j
entered in commercial speculation* and j
flourished exceedingly. On the death \
of my mother he had written to my
father a few lines expressing his sympathy?bis

hired at Kensington, she being prostrated
by the voyage from America.
"Well." -said uncle Sam. when my
father had finished speaking, "I guess
your oration would be worth a cool
million to the Republican party. You
must visit the States and tell the
Americans from a hundred platforms
all you have just told me. You must
come at the opening of the Presidential
campaign."
My father shook his head. 4,I am no
traveler." he said, "or I should have
ventured beyond Europe nineteen
years ago," again turning toward me
and assuming the kindly expression
which was never absent from his features
when he regarded his son. "The
affairs of my own country engage very
little of my attention, and as for. the

"Well, well." interrupted uncle Sam.

"I have not yet seriously considered
Ernest's future." answered my father
gravely.
"Then let me help you do so another

CHAPTER II.
THE OAK CHESTS.
Accustomed from my infancy to
wander uutesiraiued through the
gloomy rooms and corridors of Hoidenhnrsr
Hall. I had tiattered myself
that I was familiar with every nook
and corner of the old mansion.
But tuv uiiud was considerably exercised
in the endeavor to determine the
whereabouts of the two oak chests to
which my fa? her bad referred in his
couversaiion v.irh uncle Sam. I did
nor remember having ever seen any
such chess s, and could thiuk of no
place from garret so basement which
I considered likely to contain them.
Tlicse thoughts?much confused
with Idle speculation concerning
niv untie whose acquaintance
I had just made, of my aunt
whom I had not yet seen, and of
various ideas sjartcd by the conversation
of the two brothers?kept^ me
awake until long after I had retired to
bed.
I tossed about restlessly and punched
my pillows, bur could not sleep. When
I lay on my left side, all that my uncle
said recurred to nie vividly, and I
hated him for his cool cynicism and
the sense of power which had now
and again been apparent through the
calmness of his manner, but, turning
upon my right, his generous gift imnre>->ed
iue as really magnificent, and
I ?-ould tioi but feci grateful to him
for relieving my father of what I
knew bad occasioned him some ansiciy.
My uncle's wish, too, for a
voice in determining my future course
in life interested me greatly and
opened interminable trains of thought.
At last I lost consciousness, but did
nor sleep soundly nor for long.
When I rose it wanted some minutes
k to G o'clock. A brilliant streak of sunshine
lay across the dark oak floor of
my room, aud through the casement
conid be discerned a clear blue sky
such as is seldom seen in England in
the month of March.
Brimful of health and animal spirits.
notwithstanding the little sleep I had
had. I sprung from iny bed. and. having
hurriedly dressed, sought my
father.
Somehow, in an ill-defined way, I
was conseious of the opening of n new
era in m.v life. Whether it was wnat
had transpired between my father and
uncle on the previous night, or the
joyousncss of the opening day. which
was of a sort thai seemed to eoniirra
the death of winter and herald approaching
summer, or both. I know
.not. but it seemed to me that I had
bidden adieu to boyhood and had become
a man.
My father had risen a full hour before
me. and was pacing the outer
path of our old garden, with his hands
clasped behind him?his usual contemplative
attitude.
"Why," said he. after T had acquainted
him with ray difficulty, " 'tis only
yesterday that I noticed you sitting
upon one of the chests, reading. They
stand in the library, one beneath each
window, where they have stood for
the last 300 years or more. It was
your grandmother. I think, who
worked cushions and valances for
them, and so converted them into
strange looking but comfortable settees."
As soon as we bad breakfasted my
father began to search for the keys of
The chests, for he hnd but a vague
idea as to where they might be found.
While he was employed rummaging
old bureaus and cabinets. I removed
the coverings from the chests, marveling
greatly that they should have so
long escaped my notice. To do this,
and to clear the table ready to receive
the documents, did not engage me
many minutes, and I was impatient to
obtain the keys.
UUt tne Keys eouiu not oe loonu. 1
assisted ray father in the search for
4liem. and together we turned over as
many knick-knacks ? quaint jewelry,
miniatures, pocketbooks. tokens, old
coins, packets of love letters tied with
faded silk and dated early in the last
j century, metal purses, scent bottles,
I etc.?as would have stocked a flrstI
class curiosity shop. But that which
! we sought we could not find,
i It was now past noon, and my uncle
; and aunt were expected to arrive at 4
o'clock. Though we had i)een searching
for several hours we had not yet
examined the contents of half the cabinets
and closets which abounded in
our old manor house, many of which
had not been opened within the memory
of our oldest servant. My father
would have given up the search but
for my advice to him to continue it.
Wisely or unwisely, my father seldom
or never refused to comply with any
wish that I expressed, and he saw that
I was interested in the odds and ends
accumulated by our family.
After another two hours of searching
my father found the keys of the
chests, tied Together and labeled, in
the place where he had first looked
for them. With a peculiar facial exnrnscinn
in itrhir-h it W?.? iliffifnilt Trt
determine whether fatigue, annoyance
or triumph predominated, he tossed
them to me. and remarking that he
had had as much of this affair as he
eared for iu one day, left me to do as
1 pleased.
Having hurriedly deposited the few
things before me in the places where
they had been found. I hastened to tha
library and proceeded to open the
nearest chest. The key entered the
lock as easily as might be wished, but
was turned with difficulty, and made a
harsh, grating sound. I had no sooner
raised the lid than the air became so
charged with minute fungi that I voluntarily
stepped back and opened a
window.
The chest was quite filled with
parchment or vellum documents, some
rolled and others fiat, ?nd to nearly all
of them were attached large peuduU..n

IUUS aval?. X U1U UVl JMUX IV CAUUI
ine them, bur transferred them all to
the table, and opened the second chest,
wherein I discovered nearly as many '
documents as in the tlrst. all of similar
character. But there was also a
thick lollo volume, tilled with close,
neat writing, every letter of which
appeared to be formed with great
care and accuracy. About twothfrus
of the book was English and
the remainder strange characters,
which I had little doubt were Oriental.
though 1 was not scholar enough
to determine the language to which
they belonged. This book, and a copper
box. about eighteen inches by
twelve, and tivc inches deep, were all
1 found besides the documents. The
box. which was locked, was much
discolored; but I could discern writing
upon the lid such as may be produced
by uitrate of silver upon copper.
All 1 could decipher at a bastv
glance was "flogev Tvuemau," written
in characters rather larger than the
others. Trucnian being a very old
form of our family name, and the box
f>Trpi?d!n??lv licavv for its size. I at
once conceived tho hope '.hat it contained
something of special value. As
1 colt 1.1 hud no key to the bos, I set it
aside with tho folio volume, resolving
to carefully examine both at my leis,
ure.
At '.his moment a servant catered
the room and informed uc that uy
uucle and aunt had arrived. Dinner
had been ordered to be served as sma
ns possible, and there barely remained
sufficient time for me ;c prepare
for it.
Quite tired of ray day's wcrb, tho
intelligence was not unwelcome. Taking
with me ihe folio volume and the
copper box. I locked the library door
and put the key in my pocket, leaving
all the old documents on the *able
within. I then sought my bedroom,
where, having safely bestowed the
, book and box, I made what I then
thought was an elaborate toilette such
as befitted my introduction to m/
American kinswoman.
