Wanda ruled the establishment like a
royal princess from the moment that
she set her tiny foot across the thresh-

CHAPTER III.

/
Isaac Evesham, of Buffalo, lumber
man and mill owner, was In a certain
sense great man-not personally, fol
he was short and chunky in figure; not
mentally, for he had no more imagina,
tion than COW; not morally, fol
though he W as the prop and stay of Lit.
tie Bethel church, which was mainly sup
ported by his contributions, he ignored
the Masters precept to love his neigh
Dor as himself and chose rather TO look
at him as one to be spoiled as q. Philis-
tine. Still he was very great man
at Buffalo.
Ills sense OF duty was overpowcring.
It was duty which led him to prosecute
poor widow feT stealing bundle OF
splints; duty had induced him to grind
his laborers down to the. lowest days
pay for the biggest days work; and it
was duty which had countenanced his
just indignation and strongly expressed
disapproval when his brother, twenty
years younger than himself, kad per-
petrated marriage with o pennileas
girl-an act little less than a crime In
the eyes Of the astute lumberman.
He had married, of course, but he had
been wise enough TO .slove a lass and
her money, too," and had nothing to re-
proach himself for In the prim, pinched-
faced matron. who presided over the
great, square, red-brick. public school
like building he called his home. He
had been blessed with children, too
one, q boy who's he had mentally
starved to death, denying him story
books and the casual enjoyment Of
childish liberty, and who had grown al
most TO a manhood Of harmless imbe-
cility, when he had suddenly sickened
and died; and girl, more robust, who
had survived her fathers immaculate
system to reach womanhood, hard,
cold, selfish person, with fear of her
father and contempt for her mother In
the place of fllial affection.
The breakfast table in the Evesham
mansion was not the checry, social gath

one especial morning In leafy juno tho
carly meal was a more solemn cere.

Jane, aghast at the thought that her
genteel associates would learn that her

daughter asked.

man read in q hard. dry, monotonous
voice the long, sensational account OF
the catastrophe, which had lost none
of its suggestive mystery In the graphic
description OF the reporter.

gasped. She was not thinking of the
sudden death of the hapless man nor
the trouble of her relatives, but how

pressions IN the minds of the jurors that
she was attempting TO obstruct the

Mrs. Wilkins was not so fortunate In
