John ami Martin Stokes. brothers,
wore in business together for many
years. Tlioy made money, but when
John died Martin found groat <11111
culty in settling up the business.
John's oldest son I'eter, fearing that
Ills uncle woi^'l absorb the dead part
ner's interest, bothered and delayed his
uncle in such fashion that, a financial
panic coiiilng on, what was left of the
firm's assets was so entangled that It
could only be liquidated after a patient
management. Martin Stokes, breaking
down in health, turned the whole mat
ter over to his nephew and left for
parts unknown.
Ten years later lie reappeared, a
sickly looking old man. but with some
appearance of having prospered. Peter
Stokes had meanwhile saved some
$20,0(10 from the wreck, half of which,
of course, belonged to his uncle. But
Peter furnished accounts to show that
the linn had been insolvent. Ills uncle
looked tliein over, studied them and
handed them back to his nephew with
the remark:
"I'm sorry, Peter, that you got noth
ing out of It. But, after all, I may not
have been away so long for nothing. I
have no children lo enjoy what 1 have
accumulated and have determined to
leave It to you and your sisters. 1 will
place It In a safety deposit company's
vault and tell you where I keep the
key. After my death you can unlock
the box containing the securities, and
they will be yours without any will
and testament on my part. All I ask
from you is a bare pittance so long as
1 live, which will be at most but a few
years."
He took a ion:;, iat en vwujic nvm
his pocket sealed with his own seal
and wrote on it, "1 Rive this property
to my nephew. Peter Stokes, and his
sisters. I.ydla and (Jrace Stokes." The
words In ire that day's date and was
si-rued tiv tiie donor.
"Tills plan," lie said, "leaves at my
death nothing; to be settled. By a will
an estate must he liquidated the same
as a business. And you know that in
winding up a business there Is a lot
of shrinkage. You have done all the
work' in settling the affairs of John
& Martin Stokes with no pay. What
ever there may be between us of a
business nature connected with these
affairs Is settled now by this transac
tion. The envelope goes into a box of
the Fidelity Trust company, and here
is the key on my ring."
The nephews and nieces accepted
the gift and the conditions with alac
rity. The envelope was fat enough to
contain some twenty or thirty bonds,
or it' the property was in stocks there
might be twice as many certificates.
Those to whom the gift was made
desired their tu: le to come and live
with them. This he declined to do.
lie rented a little cottage, where he
kept house by himself, lie said noth
ing to his nephew or nieces about the
payment of the rent, but it was paid
by them. lie said nothing about sup
plies, but they opened accouuts for
him at provision stores, though they
secretly Instructed the tradesmen to
keep them posted as to the amount
the oKl man was being credited with.
At the end of the tirst year Peter
Stokes figured up the amount expend
ed at about $000. But the owners of
the estate, which could not be used till
after the donor's death, fearing that If
they appeared niggardly the donor
might take back his gift, expended for
him au additional $100, making a to
tal of $1,000. This they considered
keeping within bounds.
Tin? ol'i man ivinaini-u iui u muc
very delicate. Indeed, the doctor's bills
amounted to so v oral hundred dollars.
Ills loviug nephew and nieces begged
him tu come and live with them, that
they might the better administer to his
comfort. But he said he didn't wish
to be a burden 0:1 any one. assuring
them that they would not be the loser
by a cent for what money they ex
pended upon him. After the lirst five
years his health became very good
ar.d remained so for three years, when
he died rather suddenly. Before the
old man breathed Ids last I'eter Stokes
figured up that the amount expended
upon him had amounted to exactly
$0.S50. Lint there were funeral ex
penses to be paid amounting to about
$150. However, since his uncle was
dead, there would bo no need to be
extravagant In this respect, and he re
solved to cut the amount down to $75.
The llrst' thing Peter did when his
uncle was pronounced dead was to
take his key ring from his pocket
and, detaching the safety deposit key,
start for the trust company. His sis
ters exacted a promise that he would
not open the envelope till the day after
the funeral, the same as in case of
wills. Bringing the packet home, he
locked it in bis desk and waited.
The morning after the funeral the
family gathered In the library, locked
the door, took out the envelope and
tore it open. Within were folded
pieces of blank parchment, on one of
which was written:
Martin Stokes In account with Peter
Stokes: To expenditures for said Martin
Stokes, Jlfl.OOO; to amount due from set
tlement of the business of John &. Martin
Stokes, $10,000. Account balanced and
closed.
Peter read this posthumous messago
and. exclaiming "Sold!" tore up the
parchment, threw It on the floor and
stamped on It. Ills sisters, exclaim
ing "The old ingrate. the old fraud!"
wept a few bitter tears of chagrin.
But that was the end of the matter,
for they could not recover any of the
money they had spent ou their uncle,
whose adroitness had given him his
own, which he needed In his old age.
