Nature gave her good looks. and her
fathers million enabled her to add such
accomplishments and adornments as
made her one of the foremost young
women in the mining districts of Penn
sylvania. She was modest and quiet,
did not make display of fine dress, and
in no way seemed to be spoiled by
wealth and fiattery. 1t was thought
that she m~istrusted the sincerity of her
admirers, and was fearful of fortune
hunters, for she avoided association
with gentlemen as far as she could po-

never gave up the love of the sweet
heart Of her school days. when she was
a comparatively poor girl, and he was
too heedlessly bOyish to couple love and

however, was not that of her fathers,
and she Obediently married a man whom
she did not love. That was seven years

here in Reading at her home, and her
summers at her fathers country house
at WOrmelsdorf, twenty miles distant.
The young heiress became almost a re-

the reason. In everything else her
father gave her the utmost freedom; but
in the matter of q husband he not only
denied her the man of her liking, but
finally chose N for her. This was DR..

residence at WOrmelsdorf, and belong
ed to a wealthy family. Kate married
DIR. Beaver. He was in all respects
worthy of her. There was a grand
wedding and An extended bridal tour.
The husband was successful in his pro-
fessiOn. the wife became a leader in

Kate had a lover other than himself,
and wanted the means of learning the
truth. Detectives were placed al his
service, and it was not long before he
was prepared to plainly accuse his
wife. He hid q witness. in his office,
and then sent for her. She came with

the blunt accusation of having held
clandestine meetings with her lover

Then he put before her the proof of
her falsity- "a letter which she had sent
