CHAPTER XXII.
WILLIE'S PLANS BUD.
Either they were over, or were only beginning; for, the next winter, while Willie was at college, grannie was taken ill; and although they sent for him to come home at once, she had climbed higher ere he arrived.

When they opened her will, they found that she had left everything to Willie.

There was more than a hundred pounds in ready money, and property that brought in about fifty pounds a-year--not much to one who would have spent everything on himself, but a good deal to one who loved other people, and for their sakes would contrive that a little should go a long way.
So Willie was henceforth able to relieve his father by paying all his own college expenses.

He laid by a little too, as his father wished him, until he should see how best to use it.

His father always talked about _using_ never about _spending_ money.
When he came home the next summer, he moved again into his own old room, for Agnes slept in a little closet off her mother's, and much preferred that to a larger and more solitary room for herself.
