CHAPTER 1.

In the courtroom of Civil Justice
Courtney in Brooklyn, twenty years
ago, Miss Georgia Human and Mr.
Edward Everett, of this city, stood up
to be married.
When the words that made them
man and wife mad been spoken, and
the lonely little bride stood listening
as in dream TO the words of con-
graduation from the Justice, the young
bridegroom held out his hand for the
marriage certificate.
Something in his eager manner
aroused Justice Courtney's resentment.
This belongs to the lady" he said,
frowning
Young Everett smiled and left the
room to order a carriage Turning
to the timid girl before him Justice
Courtney said
Madam, this is a peculiar marriage.
Keep this certificate. Some day you
may need it,"
Here ended prophetic scene, which
preluded drama that has lasted for
sixteen years. Sixteen years of strug

that her marriage was legal and that
her name was really Everett--and six
teen years Of scbenling and virtual
reputation by the man who had pro-
missed before Justice Courtney to love,
cherish and protect her.
In the mean time, the sixteen-year-
old girl, after her one brief dream,
grew into unhappy womanhood, fight
ing, hoping, praying and fighting again
as only woman can, from court to
court, from lawyer to lawyer, and
from state to state, to rectify the great
wrong she had endured.
In the mean time, too, the young
man who had reached out for the mar
riage certificate, grew gray and csfe.
