So s, owing what elee to do with the idle
capital, The widow Cas- had her teeth filed
with gold ard diamonds, a. she had rad
almost every day In her extras that some
Young won an had done. Not having many
teeth 10 MI. she had q practically new set
made up altogether Of gold and diamonds,
with some ruhiss. Then 10 dispose Of the
alarce ahe had similar dentistry performed
FOR her ak cons, four daughters and seven
teen grandchildren, with the understanding
that the filing could he withdraw az m
time on demand.
II Seemed like a safe, conservative plan 10
the widow Cass at the time, She was con-
graduated on her foresight by many of the
best known and most highly esteemed per-
sons Of Brooklyn. But the next afternoon
as she opened her mouth to cry her wares a
ray Of the setting sun starting for Brooklyn
on the wrong side OF the south roadway
entered the widows mouth and the terminal
was filed with Hastings just as the fortune
hunters were swarTning home. The widow
Cass received seven offers OF marriage that
afternoon on the bridge and was followed
to her home in one Of the most exclusive
residential sections Of Brooklyn. She man
aged to get into the drawing room by a
secret door from the pergola and her maid
told her callers that she was not at home.
That thing was repeated every day. When
the widow Cass bought q -four cylinder tour
ing automobile to ride home in, the fortune
hunters, of course, had to give up following
her, but they crossed the river early and laid
In wait at her door. So she had to give up
the fort she had held for 20 many years, and
after a short rest abroad returned to take up
the midnight trick with the morning papers.
Now she has been discovered by the man
with the lilies OF the valley and may have
to resort to some other subterfuge.
She Is too old nov to learn anew way OF
making o living and there are many of the
children who nave attained prominence in
social n political circles who are dependent
upon her for the bare necessities. Only yes
terday the widow Cass gave $500 900 to the
president Of a college who was good to her
whom she first began business and paid her
three cents for a two cent paper every day
until she firmly became established.
The widow Cass never forgets q friend.
She has endowed many hospitals and asy-
huns, and at the end Of each racing season
gives all the money won by her fine string
Of horses to some worthy charity.
