she had one son. He was = sulky,

when he was tormenting some one. He

broke rare Dresden vase that Uncle
priced. and told him had done It.
Mother did not live long after FA-
ther died. and after she was gone, l
had no one to stand between me and
Richard. Sometimes had to tell my
Uncle. but oftener tried to bear 1t,
because knew Richard was already q
great distress to him.
"At last Richard was expelled from

They had arranged every detail.
Richard had been using as models the

three years, and had constructed a set
OF love letters from me to him, In per-

They compared the letters and read
snatches of the sentences aloud. The
letters referred constantly to our be-
ling married as soon as should return

OF the money as belonging to us both.

They even exhibited a marriage
