sign of abatement, and while as time
goes on the mystery of the case only
seems to grow deeper, yet Miss Vandi-
ver's friends as well as disinterested par
ties, are reluctant to cease their speeu-
lations, though the young woman has
been successful in battling and mystify-
ing all her visitors by her strange con-

To one and all her invariab1e answer is:

In her story of why John w. Dawson

Yandiver first says it was because of the

account she intimates that it was be-

almost to determine what is fact and
what is fancy. While her story may be
true, yet Miss Vandiver offers no proof of
that fact. At every point where she
could establish it's truthfulness she re-
fuses to present the necessary evidence,
preferring apparently to maintain mys-
tifying silence, though she declares at
the same time she has indisputable proof
in abundance. but that she cannot pro-
duce it now.
Nobody in Franklin places any crCdence
in Miss Vandiver's story of her inherited
wealth. She tells it with a reckless
abandon, and does not seem to care if It
is inconsistent and fails to hang to-
gether. When she was asked to explain
some of the inaccuracies of her story
Miss Vandiyer dismissed the question
with a laugh. People have bothered me

Jessie Marie Vandiver is twenty years
OF age, and the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Eandiver. She was born on
farm few miles from Franklin. It has
only been recently that the family has
moved into their beautiful modern home
on@W! King-st.
The Vandivers are among the most
prominent and wealthiest people of
Franklin. and the Vandiver family owns
practically the entire west side of John
sen county, which consists of valuable
farm lands. Miss Vandiver is regarded
as one Of the most beautiful and accom-
pilshed girls Of Franklin, and she is

friendship toward his little daughter;
that his little daughter was not con-
cerned; that this affection existed solely
between her and Dawson himself, and
that the lonely millionaire made her his
heir at the death of his daughter as a
token of his deep love.
1t was six years ago last June that
first met John w. Dawson" said Miss
Vandiver. 'I was at the time at Indian
apolis with friend of mine, George Kis-
senger, a travelling man from Pittsburg.
We happened to meet on a prominent
street corner, and I was introduced to
Mr.. Dawson. He told me that his par
ents lived in Indianapolis and that his
mother had just died, but that he himself
was living at New. York City with his
little daughter, Nellie Mae, his wife hav-
ing died eight years previously.
Mr.. Dawson made frequent visits to his
fathers home at Indianapolis and it was
on these visits that met him and re-
newed my acquaintance He seemed to
have formed a sudden liking for me, and
visited me frequently at my home near
Franklin 1--WE were living in the country
them. I met his daughter and our ac-
quaintance ripeneds into a deep friendship.
I soon came to regard little Nell as a
younger sister, while Mr.. Dawson seemed
to have the affection. of a father toward
me.
"a year ago last summer old Mr.. Daw-
son, who was now eighty years of age,
was taken i'll at Indianapolis, and as his
condition became alarming, his son, John
w. Dawson, and daughter Nell were
summoned from New York. On his ar
rival in Indianapolis Jack wrote for me
to come to his fathers home There he
asked me to become a companion to his
daughter Nell. / consented for had al.
ready fallen in love with her, she was
such beautiful and lovely child. Jack
remained at the bedside Of his father I'M
til the following September, when the old
man breathed his last. The remains were
shipped to New York to be buried by the
side of his wife. Then Nell asked me to
accompany them on their trip East, and
on MIR. Dawson's invitation I agreed to
go. remained with them in New York
for ten days. When / was ready to re-
turn to my home Nell decided to make
visit to Indianapolis. Mr.. Dawson ac-
conpanied us On the trip, but returned to
New York the following day.
Two weeks after my return I received
a letter from Jack saying that he was
again at Indianapolis, and as he wished
to return soon to New York and take Nell
with him, they wished to see me before
they left the city. / went to Mr.. Daw-
sons home (where it was I'll not say
and was much surprised and grieved to
find Nell very i'll. She was suffering with
an attack of appendicitis, but after ten
days treatment she seemed to have re-
covered from her affliction.
