He had two sons: quick, clear-thinking Dick, a popular young fellow with both men and women; and slower-witted Will--careless, lazy, and indifferent. One day a message came while the captain sat under the trees in his yard. The message was short and addressed from a legal firm in the East. It read: "As per the last will and testament of your late friend Col. W. A. Reiggs, we are sending to your care his two daughters in accordance with your understanding." The daughters arrived. Clarice proved haughty, indifferent to others, and quarrelsome; Madge showed herself kind, thoughtful, and the direct antithesis of her sister. Dick found himself strongly drawn toward indifferent to Clarice. But a change was coming over Will. He no longer neglected to carry water, bring firewood, and do the chores about the house. A comradeship grew up between him and Madge, brought about, no doubt, through the fact that all the household work was thrown upon their shoulders. Then one day neither Clarice nor Dick could be found. Finally, the aged mother discovered a note that explained the mad infatuation and brought the sorrowful news that the family could expect nothing more from Dick or Clarice. But Will, with one arm about his mother's shoulder and the other caressingly thrown around Madge, assured her that the black sheep had turned white and that thenceforth he would assume his brother's place.
