Young Varona was watching his in
quisitor now with a family speculative
frown. When Cueto had finished, Es-

back upon the elder man. he walked
away.
Now it did not occur to Cueto really
to doubt the boys innocence, though
the circumstances of Donna ISabel's
death were suspicious enough to raise
a question in any mind; but in view
of Esteban's threat he thought it wise
to protect himself by setting a back
fire.
AS he sat on an old stone bench,
moodily repicturing the catastrophe as
ESteban had described it, his attention
fell upon an envelope at his feet. 1t
was sealed it was unaddressed. Cue
to idly broke it open and began to
read. Before he had gone far he start
ed; then he cast furtive glance
about. But the place was secluded; he
was unobserved. When he finished
reading he rose, smiling. He no longer
feared Esteban. On the contrary, he
rather pitied the young fool; for here
between his fingers was that which
not only promised to remove the boy
from his path forever, but to place in
his hands the entire Varona estates

First American MuItimiIIionaIre.

The first American multimillionaire
to attain international fame on &C.
count of his vast wealth was Stephen
Girard. OF the financial dynasties OF
today only the Astors and Vanderbilts
were represented in Girard's time, and
the fortune Of the distinguished Phila-
delphian exceeded that of Commodore
Cornelius Vanderbilt or the first John
Jacob Aston. Girard was worth $4,000
600 at the time of his death. Much Of
this money he left to the city of Phila-
delphia for public purposes, and
$2,0O0,00O were applied to The building
of college for orphans. This institu-
ton has supported and educated tens
of thousands of orphans and fitted
them for their battles with the world.
Girard was free thinker.
