of rushton manor aud a noble income aud her cousin tom the millionaires only son was disinherited with the mockery of a legacy of five hundred dollars she was veiy young only eighteen when the wealth became hera under the care of the executors until she completed her twentyfirst year but she had been early trained to selfcontrol and a gravity beyond her yeais by the care of an invalid mother who died six months before thos rushton made his last will for twoycars she lived iugtrict seclusion iu her splendid home with t distant rela tive mrs owen carroll who came to play propriety and shaie the
