daughter OF a poor brass moulder. given
an ordinary education that carried with II
but few accomplishments possessing moth
ing but beauty of face and figure-whence
came the strange power exercised by
Edith Boycott?
1t is improbable that her beauty alone
was the secret of the magnetism by which
she enthralled and fascinated two young
men-who knew the world and by the
world were known--and made them
slaves To her every whim.
Two prominent families, one In New
York. the other In Philadelphia. can testi-
fy to the extraordinary power that was
exercised by Edith Boycott.
A son of wealthy parents in each case
one sent abroad 10 escape the woman's
witehery, the other defying mother, sis

her-such is the record of Edith Boycott

skull-the result OF week old runaway
accident--was well known In the Quaker

official records of the police and the hos
pital read. She was thus designated by
Newton Barret Stachelberg. seeking to
hide her identity, that his protesting
mother and sisters might not know of the
latest chapter in the unfortunate woman S
career
Twelve years ago Edith Boycott. then
pretty girl OF fifteen, self-willed and stub
born. left heg home at Altoona and went
10 Philadelphia, where she sought to earn
her own living.
A year later her parents learned that
Edith had gone on the stage. She was
then sixteen, and In her letters to her
family she told of her promising future.
Her stage name was Edith Booth.
In one brief year the girl had tired of
the glamor of stage work.
DIDN'T LIKE BUSINESS, EITHER
The next time her parents heard from
her she was employed i'm large Phila-
delphia dry goods establishment.
But the monotony OF business career
paled on the girl. She yearned for diver
sions above the means of her meagre SAL
airy, and there being no restraining in
fiuences she found them.
At about this time she met Herman
Van Biel. son OF wealthy retired whole
sale liquor dealer. who for years conduct
ed a large establishment I'm Chestnut
street above Thirteenth street.
LOVE At FIRST SIGHT.
Young Van Biel fell in love with the
girl on sight. The girl, I'm turn. showed "A

TO friends. who were dining I'm the sump-
tuously appointed apartments on Walnut
street. which the young man had fur

"Yes, Euith and | are man and wife"
young Van Biel replied, and the couple
seemed as happy as doves In cote. But
before long their heaven OF happiness was
darkened by clouds.
