He had taken with him his wife's grand
child-herself wife, and the mother of
two infant children. The grandmother
and her granddaughter husband
were both bereaved, wronged and aban-
dOned on the same day, and by one and
the same villain. This was the cruelest
blow of all. For year the now aged
lady moved as in dream. She could

duped and cheated. Her money and
property were nearly all gone. her fam
lily was doubly disgraced, and she had
nothing but revenge to live for.
Two years later Mr.. Buhignani re-
turned to the United States from his
European trip with his mistress, and
Mrs. Eaton was informed of it by the de-
tectives who were on the watch. She
went to New York and had him arrest

released, begged only TO see her. There

Even in her scanty wardrobe she always

There was a nameless air about her that
set off the things she wore. Her con-
versation was always bright and cheer
ful-rather grandiose in vein-but cor
rect. At times she forgot the topic and
wandered from it. At other times she
would relate rather incredible and almost
impossible events, but in the main her
statements were corroborative of known
facts or easily supported by them. She
was an OmnivOrous reader-mostly of
works of fiction. Dryer matter tired
her or failed to interest her. About the
scandals which arose and eliminated

reticent. 1t was only to very few that
