and the possessor of many estates.
Irene was the only child OF this second
marriage and the sole heiress OF her
mother. Inez's prospects OF an inheri-
tance from her father were not very
brilliant and consequently. at four-and-
twenty. she was still unmarried, In spite
OF her winning ways and extraordinary
amount OF common sense, which had
soon Influenced her to Jealous activity.
She was at the head OF the large
household, and took upon herself all
the work which her stepmother dis

for deep study and intellectual work.
The eighteen-year-old Irene, a charm-
Ing, brilliant creature. was the spoiled
darling OF her mother and of society.
She tyrannized her father and the en-
tire household. The Countess had be-
gun to make a match between her and
