THE pIoUs MRS. STOCKTON.
Port Angeles Has Good Reason to Re-
member Her Very Well.


Port Angeles, Jan. 2.--Mrs. NJ. A. Stock
ton. who is accused of having attempted
10 blackmail Rev. C. o. Brown. of San
Francisco. was resident of this city IN
the year 1891, during which time she fig
ured prominently as a member OF the Con-
gregational church. Immediately after
her arrival here she sought the acquaiut-
ance of Rev. f. Chase and became a con-
slant visitor at his home, but apparently
her one design on him was 10 persuade
him TO adopt the younger of her two chill
dren. a little girl of years. In, this she
was successful, for when she left the city
the child remained with Mr.. Chase. Mrs
Stockton first came here in response 10 a
notice published by Mrs. NJ. V. Smith AK
ing that some kindergarten teacher estab-
lsh a school in this city. Mrs. Stockton
took up this work at once. and succeeded
in securing generous subscriptions from
numerous young men about town for the
support of the institution.
Her relations with a contractor of this
city soon began TO be matter of general
gossip. and IL was stated that she was re-
ceiving monthly rernittances from Lloyd
Tevis. a prominent and wealthy man Of
san Francisco. but the good-looking kim
dergarten teacher continued TO teach her
Sunday school class and succeeded in Sc
curing a large attendance at Her kinder
garten. IL was evident during her resi-
dence here that she was placing heFSelf
under constant restraint but IL was so far
relaxed after the closing OF her school
that her real character was generally
known TWO prominent attorneys decided
several lots 10 her for a nominal Consid-
Grafton. and third presented her with a
bottle Of champagne on the night OF her
final departure from Port Angeles. Mrs.
Stockton was considered attractive by
men and dangerous by women, and her
associations with the former caused sew
eral family disturbances.

CHAPTER MY.

The very first glance which Camilla
caught of her poor father the following
morning told a terrible tale.
The man who had set forth but so few
days before. blithe, deinonair, positively
young. looked now n mere wreck. He
had left her a sort of Croosus, So thor
oughly did he already possess in magma
ton the expected thousands he was to
win. He returned a bcggar-worse by far
than a beggar: a gentleman who had stalk
cd upon honor what he did not possess,
and, most maldening of all, who had a
fair, proud daughter to blush for him.
AS they drove away to Silvermcad he
put his arm around her and asked with
a smile:
And how is my little pet? Eth? And
the old lady at home? Well. | hope, eh!"
"Oh, yes. papa. dearest. but what Of
yourself? You look unhappy. Say, have
you lost?"
"N-not largely. dearest. If you read
my ~unhappiness, believe me it is because

her the secret of his high spirits tonight.
