torrent Of tragedy. 1t came about to
Lura Denison on a slumberously
peaceful June afternoon and in gar

of violets and roses.
This was the situation: She was one
of party of friends visiting Els

Crystal lake. Lura was only school
teacher and dependent on her own
employment for living. She was one
of a coterie however representing eX
clusiveness as to wealth and social
position. She could not dress as rich
ly as her cousins, the Worthingtons,
but her garb was neat, tasteful her
figure perfect, her face beautiful and
her manner full of sweetness and fas-
cination.
To the power of those kindly mag
netic eyes Clyde Rawson had paid full
tribute He was favorite with every
body, a needless, impulsive young fell

uncle. 1t was not that Clyde was dis

his mandatory relative. There had
been a tiff, and Clyde had left home
