The announcement that she would

that his millions would be willed to
them. The mother died, and three
months later the father married the d.
vorced wife of Dan Hanna. The grand
father took the two girls, who we're
in their early teens, to his great
mansion in Cincinnati, and finally
adopted them.
When Mr. Mcdonald died all his
fortune was left to his beloved grand
daughter. The millions had shrunk
from twenty-five TO one and a half,
but the shrinkage did not affect their
social successes. They came TO New

with offers of matrimony. The first
man to attach himself to their train

young Westerner, whose father had

His attentions speedily centred
themselves on laura. That they were

friends, and even Sister Helene ad-

This engagement, or mutual agree

while she was motoring through Cal

Helene admitted Its seriousness. With

much just now.
