CHAPTER I.

Daniel Slade sat reading the evening
newspaper in the handsomely appoint
ed library of his spacious home. To
all intents he was man at peace with
the world. He had money and power.
He had advanced from a penniless
miner to a millionaire figure in the
business world. At fifty his were the
fruits of a well-spent, energetic life.
Handsome and immaculate in his per-
fectly tailored evening clothes, he fit
ted into the beautiful room with it's
rich tapestries and oriental rugs with
all the ease and naturalness of a man
born to culture and wealth.
Every now and then his eyes wan
dered from his newspaper to the fig
ure of his wife sitting at the other side
of the richly carved table. The tiny,
unimposing little woman in her badly
cut, dun-colored gown was the one in
congruous detail in the room. She
was like a shabby little prairie flower
suddenly transplanted to conserva-
tory where brilliant orchids and lovely
roses bloomed all about her, her faint
little fragrance overpowered by their
heavy sweetness-her delicate lowell
ness completely submerged by very
contrast with the radiant beauty OF
her surroundings.
To Slade's critical eyes, the dowdy
little figure, with the work basket in
her lap and her head bent over the
stocking she was contentedly darning,
was an actual eyesore. He had fitted
up a magnificent home that would
have made perfect setting for prin-
