CHAPTER VII.

Now Thaddeus Braddon, the re jected
lover OF Stanton's mother, and John
Olmstead's best friend, was a very rich
man in the far west, even when Mary
Olmstead married her farmer; and he
kept on piling up fortune there till
1870.
lie lived chiefly with n married sister,
the wife OF the famous Capt. Thorndikc,
in Albccco. lie was living with his sis
ter when the daring captain was shot,
on the plains, in 1868.
II ever woman died of broken
heart, it was Capt. Thorndike's wife.
If ever an orphan girl was well disposed
Of, IL was Capt. Thorndike's baby Is
Their when the dying mother consigned
her to the care OF her brother Thad-
deus.
lie knew very we'll that he ought 10
have a wife to help him along with the
baby; but that was one step he would
not~have taken if all the orphans in the
world had been left on his hands.
AS a girl, as a maiden, as another =
wife, and now over In the spirit land,
he had loved one and only one, and he
proposed TO continue to the end. In
default OF this, however, he lavished
every thought and precaution possible
upon his niece.
She called him Papa" from the first
lisping words she spoke, md loved him
even more, perhaps. than she could
have loved natural father and mother
combined.
No legal steps were ever taken. Thad-
deus Braddon was prone TO he a law
unto himself. He simply accepted her
MS his daughter. and that settled II.
There =as no attempt at concealnent.
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1900-03-10

but the world at large soos forgot thai
she was not actually his daughter, and
by the time they came east again and
settled in brooklyn they had very near
~ forgotten II themselves. To her best
friends she was Esther. To everyone
else she was simply Miss Braddon,
daughter of Braddon, of Braddon d
I.urridge, one of the strongest banking
houses OF New York.
Braddon started the bank, originally,
simply as an occupation for an active
mind, but IL soon became one OF the
most important factors of Wall street.
To him that had was given, and Brad
dun's wealth and influence constantly
increased.
Esther developed into one of the rare
and beautiful victories which the east
and west combined have sometimes
won, and took n position in society
fully up to her proud fathers ideal.
She was so important in her home and
so enthusiastic in reform and philan-
thropic societies that she might never
have thought of marrying at all had not
her father occasionally dropped some
suggestion about the necessity of some
one 10 lift the cares of home and bust
ness gradually from his aging shout
ders.
He spoke carelessly, at the best, with
vague thought, in general way, Of
John Olmstead's nephew; but his words
made such an impression on his loving
daughter that in time she came to con-
slider the selection Of husband as the
most imperative necessity of her life.
Under such circumstances the selec-
ton was no easy matter. Human nature
repealed her from each offer as it would
not have done had she been free. She
had become vindictive with herself for
being so critical and keeping her father
so long without the helping hand which
he had asked her to provide, when, by
the luck which seems to follow some
men, Richard Raymond appeared upon
the scene.
lie came out OF the west to watch the
last months Of that time-limit safely
expire. lie smelled the bait of wealth
behind the heiress, and for incidental
occupation he plotted what he or any
one would doubtless have pronounced a
fated game.
He had nothing to lose, and, with the
barest possibility, why should he not
have ventured? 1t was beyond doubt
that this time he was free TO take n
wife, and it was a game at which he was
well trained. Nevertheless il is quite
probable that Richard Raymond was
the most surprised of any when he
found himself accepted and the pros
pective heir to Thaddeus Braddon's
wealth, to add to what now amounted
almost to the certainty of John Ohm
stead's millions.

know anything beyond what Esther
Thorndike had herself communicated.
The day OF her departure found him
as ignorant as ever, and only so many
days deeper In the new sentiments and
their attendant morbid desperation.
Shortly after the hour for the sailing
OF the days steamers a messenger boy
brought him a card beaning the words;
MAY the best OF life be yours, always.
Earnestly your friend, Esther Thorn
dixie"
One who has watched on stormy
night and seen the full moon burst
suddenly from an unlooked-for rift,
TRANSPORTING everything, filling all ma
ture with life, grandeur and wonder
full beauty, may understand, perhaps,
the effect of that immaterial message
coming into the troubled heart of Rob
| ert Stanton. But he who has watched
longer, till black clouds filled the
break, and with sigh, a groan, nature
sank back again into the stormy night
more desolate even for the glorious
whelming force of the realization which
| followed, that the moon which shone
with such refreshment for a moment
was even then hidden by the black
waves OF the Atlantic, and that every
| fleeting sound was bearing her farther
| and farther away, 10 set beyond the
clouds, beyond the possibility of even
one more passing glimpse.
The memory of one week before
came back to haunt him as night gath
cred. Involuntarily he was living it all
over again. Step by step he seemed
forced TO follow it, and every step was
bereft of all but Observation-Disclosures
and utter loneliness.
Even the discovery that ii had been
such strength and comfort TO him 10
know that she was as near as Brooklyn
| filed him with dismay. The wild, I'M
comfortable, almost incoherent ram
blings of his mind startled him. His
plans were methodically laid for his
departure the following day, but mac
ton was uncomfortable. 1t was very un-
like John Olmstead's nephew, but II only
made matters so much the worse that
he fully realized the fact. In n strug-
gle TO escape he started that night for
California.
by degrees the strange week sank
into something like the memory of
an ugly dream. Often he seemed to
himself to be still dreaming. AS the
train rumbled on he sometimes tried 10
rouse himself, with vague sense that
II he succeeded he should discover that
IL was only a dream. Yet as often as
he made the attempt he shuddered lest
he might succeed; for in it there was
something more real than reality as he
knew it, and even at that moment he
would not have had IL all dream.

Another instance came to light
through the distribution of reading

copies of the New York Independent,
and had great satisfaction in observing
the eagerness with which they were
