Martha e. Lewis was the daughter
Of a boat caulker employed by Mr..
Brown. When only child in short
dresses the millionaire had taken to
her because she reminded him of his
dead daughter when she was tiny
girl. When she grew older he made
her his almoner in his many charities,
and when she was out of her teens
he had her made secretary of the Sun
day school which he had endowed
Gifts were showered upon her just
as the were upon Miss Grace Brown.
For awhile things went along smooth
ly enough on the surface, but Mrs.
Brown gradually discovered that she
was being undermined. Miss Lewis
finally got control of the establish
ment and ran it with an iron hand.

The other Browns-brothers, cous-
ins and nephews-- like this at
all. They demanded that Miss Lewis
be at least sent to live elsewhere and
that Mrs. Grace Brown be brought
back from Kentucky, where she had
gone, to give tone to the household.

For an answer this came back:
Can't wait. WILL.
And this was the reply:
, Al right. Go ahead. God bless you
But it was not SO fated. Will
Brown, undisputed heir to the larger
share of his fathers millions, did not
bring his bride home. She brought
him home-in a. coffin. Almost the
next day he fell Ill and was dead
within a week. The bride-widow, al
most i'll with her grief, met her fa-
ther-in-law and went straight to his
heart.
"You must stay here with us, my
dear" said the millionaire, "and be
my daughter, too. I know Will would
have wished it So"
Old Mans Daughter Dead.
So the girl stayed along with the
old man, and year after year made
herself better loved by him. Then
came another blow-his only living
child, his daughter Nellie, died in
Italy.
II am afraid my poor old heart will
break" said the old man, bowed un-
der this added weight of woe.
There was no one to turn to save his
daughter-in-law now. He called her to
him one day soon after the funeral,
and said
Stay here with me, for / am left
alone. Be the head of my household,
and when l die you will be the same
in my will as if you were my own
daughter. And why not? Are you
not the wife of my dead son, my only
boy?"

Everywhere it was understood that
the young widow was to be his heir

the Christmas holidays were approach

to the old mans bedside.

all she had believed was to be hers
was blotted out. But no one told her
this when she reached Pittsburg the
next morning.
Young Mrs Brown was received
with open arms. Twenty days later
Samuel S. Brown died. During those
20 days the deathbed will did not
come to light. Mrs. Browns friends
say that it was purposely hidden so
that she would know nothing about it
until it should be too late. The mil
lionaire died, surrounded by his fam
lily, while Mrs. Brown knelt at the
bedside.
Will Kept Secret.
Never were greater efforts made to
keep a will from becoming public. 1t
was filed secretly. The authorities
were ordered to keep it secret and
meekly complied. The family lawyer
furnished an extract to the newspa-
pers, but all reference to either of the
young women in tho case was careful
ly eliminated.
That's all we care to give out to
the. newspapers was the lawyers
curt rejoinder when pressed for an ex-
planation.
But the New York Sunday Worlds
correspondent in Pittsburg made
things so interesting for all concerned
| that finally the entire contents of the
will were made public as provided by
law.
Then the storm broke. The feud
became public property. Promptly
there came demand from the officers
of the Mary Brown church that Miss

day school.

nothing of it. When she heard 1t

beer bonds she burst out weeping and
ran from the room crying: "Oh, Sam.

A strange feature of this strang case
is that the millionaire provided bet
ter for the young widow after her
death than during her life. A niche
by his direction has been reserved for
her in the rich marble mausoleum out
at the cemetery. There she will rest
with the others of the family's dead.
