Jacksonville She is living in the home
of one of her fathers brothers and is

ouSly as Ii she had been born to a
workaday life. Those facts were learned

go under the hammer.
Fortune Swept Away.
/ Miss Chadwick. when she ret lrned to
| New York with her father and received
confirmation of the table reports that

! She put her pride in her pocket and ap-
| flied as a would-be efnpioye tos women
on the plane OF wealth she recently had
left The matrons would have none OF
her-not that they knew anything
against the girl, nor that there was
anything Tor them TO know, but on ac-
count OF the notorfety her stepmotf her
| and father had received in consequence
OF Mrs. Chadwick s disclosures.
1t took good deal to discourage the
young woman. She had ali the optimism
OF eighteen years Not until she had

give up her attempts ana realize she
must seek work IL some other place.

Her uncle received her cordially and
used all his influence to get her posi-

had been brought upon her, and that
she should not be MADE 70 suIfer Ior ner

A Few Whispers.
| There were q few whispers, but hey
| died out quickly when it was seen how
patiently Miss Chadwick strove to learn
her duties. She had not been there u
week when she had the friendship oe
everybody in the office. And there she

will return here If she can help 1t.
