in those days. He lived in a big house.
OH Duane street, then one of the most
fashionable parts ofthe city. Old Clinch
was Il self-made man, and thought every
man ought to be the architect of his own
fortunes. So he trowned away every
wealthy young fop who came to o
Cornelia, and sent her regularly to-
school to learn to be u sensible, useful
woman And his ideas were respected
for he had a terrible temper when ha
was crossed.
