Sometime since this charming young
lady became step daughter, the old
man having married second time.
This second wife proved too much
OF step mother for the sweet young
daughter and the latter refused for a
long time to live under the paternal
roof, preferring to remain with reIa-
tiYes elsewhere.
Recently old man Brtdemeyer built
him a nico home at Roane mountain
station and induced the daughter tC
come down and try ieG rounds with
the step mother. The latter, who IL
seems, Is no slcuch Of step mother,
made it interesting for the step daugh-
ter while she remained on the premis-
es, which was not long, for after being
whipped q time or two the young girl
left home.
When naxt heard from she was mar
ried to a rugged mountaineer named
Hopkins, who was as unlike the fair
bride az chalk is unlike cheese. The
two had skipped by the light of the
brides diamonds to Johnson City,
and been welded before the father
knew what was happening,
A few days later the fair young
bride and her mountaineer husband
returned and set up housekeeping al
the station. With strange taste, how
