was not an average woman: her heart
did not always rule her head.
When nearly a year had passed

frid, Eunice deemed herself indeed
forgotten. What she had feared and
foreseen, she told herself, was come
to pass: and that woman" as she
termed Clara Passavant in her
thoughts. had probably won him away
from HIS early affection by her wiles
and her brilliant social attachments.
i suppose we are not in his class
any longer" she said to herself bit
terly. But she will never make him
happy; all she cares about ia the
money"
She did not. nor would not, blame
Wilfrid: 1t was all that woman's" evil
doings. Yet she tried her best to
think Of him as dead to her, and to
face the fact that henceforth she
must piece out her life alone. But
It was a sorry attempt.
Eunice had not been a woman had
she failed to see the drift of Master
Rogers coming and goings. Hers

honored by what she supposed was

her stepfather. and his companion
ship proved a rather welcome diver
sion in those dark days. But she
knew his love-quest was hopeless. and
discouraged his more marked atten-
tons, for she told herself her heart
was dead
So when Roger Hews pressed his
suit-he never made love to her as
VIII had done-she was ready with
her answer.
1T cannot be. Mr.. Hews," she said,
as they stood in the dim old parlor.
Il esteem and admire you as friend,
butt shall never marry"

said Roger suavely. I'm time. pos

permission, but some day / shall ask
you again"
She shook her head in token that
his was q forlorn hope, but she was
too kind-hearted to infiict hurt
where she could avoid it.
"on those conditions. then" she
said, I'VE may still be friends; bat l
shall never change my mind"
Cursed upstart!" Hews muttered
when he found himself on the wrong
side of the door. "She loves him
still! l wish he would get married
himself; then. my lady. perhaps you'd

CHAPTER VI.

When Roger Hews was dispatched
to Pennsylvania as the confidential
agent of Carboy, Passavant & Cozine
to verify the strange story told by
Andrew Meleen on his death-bed he
unearthed far more curious and
complicated series of episodes, so
unusual and unexpected as to suggest
to his fertile and not over-scrupulous
mind a plot by which the knowledge
thus gained might be turned to his
own advantage In several ways
Briefly told, this is what he discov-
cred after much painstaking piecing
together of fact and inference:
When Minna Meleen found herself.
as she supposed, deserted by her hus-
band SO soon after their marriage, un-
able to bear the taunts and gibes of
the village women, she left the out
skirts OF Hazleton, then little more
than hamlet, and tramped across the
mountains to Nanticoke. Here, being
. complete stranger. she resumed her
maiden name of Minna Tod, passing
herself on as widow, and making a
living by sewing and doing chores.
Here daughter was born Cd her. A
year and more had elapsed since
leaving Hazleton, when seemingly
authentic tidings reached her that her
husband, Andrew Meleen, had been
killed In battle. So to her the erst-
while fiction became a cruel and bit
ter fact.
Believing herself free woman, and
being still young and handsome, her
scolding tongue and fiery temper
somewhat cooled by her misfcrtunes,
she permitted herself to be once more
wooed and won. this time by an arti-
san named John Trevecca
In less than a year she presented
Trevecca also with a daughter, but
this time she died during her &C.
couchement, and the infant with her.
and was buried In Nanticoke. exactly
as Roger Hews reported. This event
1t must have been which reached the
ears of Andrew Meleen, denuded of
the one vital fact that Minna had
married again and that his own child
still lived.
To the day of her death John Trevec-
ca supposed she had been really a
widow when she married him-as, of
course. did Minna herself. The only
deception she had practiced consisted
In the concealment of her true name.
When Minna died, John Trevecca
cherished her first-born. the little
Eunice. as his own, bringing her up
under HIS name. giving her a good
education. even sending her to a
country seminary for a couple OF
terms: then. in turn. he moved away,
and no one in Nanticoke heard Of him
for many years.
So much of the past Roger Hews
had discovered when he returned to
San Francisco to report to Mr.. Car.
boy. We have seen how he sup
pressed the essential facts, complete
ly misleading the astute lawyer. When
he went east for good 1t was with
