elation. It'll
Mine was a ease of stepmother and
une of the worst ruses of the kiwi on
rooorO Stepmothers nr<> not ;.II bad by
any moans, hut whon the} are ' '
mighty hard on their stepchildren.
Hovs, whon they Iw'W old enouj;li.
can go away and light the world for
themselves, hut that's not so easy for
girls. Nevertheless. 1 did that very
?hing
After mother's death father took
into the house to take care of me he
said? a woman al?out his own ac<' He
saw the folly of this plau when It was
too late. There was something about
the woman. or perhaps some weak
spot In father, that enabled her to
dominate him And as for me. she
made my life one of misery.
When 1 was seventeen, having stood
well Id my classes at school. 1 was
offered a position as governess In the
Opdyke family. 1 accepted It to pot
away from my stepmother. 1 taught
the younger children of the family
There was n son. Harry, a year or
two older than 1. who wns n clerk for
his father, n manufacturer of paper.
The Opdyke family considered them
selves very well off when I Trent to
live with them. They were dreadfuliy
afraid that Harry would fall in love
with me. They had no objection to me
except that they wished him to make
a good match, which, l?elnc Interpret
ed, means one with money.
I didn't know It at the time, bill my
father had considerable property It
was in securities In which he had In
vested what .money he had after a
panic. When I left home ho still had
these securities, but they were not
available. He was keeping them for a
time when the commercial depression
had passed and the property they rep
resented would resume the payment of
dividends. Therefore either he was
not in a position to give me any in
come, or if he was his wife prevented
him from doing so.
I remained In the Opdyke fantilj
five years. Meanwhile Harry had lie
come his father's r'jrht hand man at
the mills. He had permitted himself
to fall in love with me. but I knew
that although the family thought a
great deal of me they were looking
higher for him; consequently I would
not yield to his wishes for a be
trothal.
Several matters of Importance to us
all came about at very near the same |
time. In the first place, Mr. Opdyke.
who had boon carrying a debt on his
mills, found himself vtnable to provide
for it any longer. In the second place,
my father died and my stepmother
produced a will leaving all his prop
erty to her Harry told me confiden
tialty of the condition of the family
afTalrs and said that, now we were on
the same financial basis, we had bet
ter Join our forlunes. "What a pity.'
I said to him, "that my father didn't
leave me some of his property; I might
have helped your father and yon
through your difficulties."
I pave way to Harry's persuasive
efforts and we Itocanie encaged,
although we kept the engagement a
secret. Under these conditions Harry
took an interest In my personal affairs
I told him a great dearabont my step
mother, and he suggested taking lega"
steps to break the will. Rut after talk
ing the matter over we both agreed ;
that there were no grounds for break
Ins it? at least none that we could
prove. My father was probably of
sound mind at the time he made It
and I could not prove that his wife
had used undue Influence to induce
him to make It in her favor. The onlj
objection 1 could bring up was that my ;
father had told me shortly before his
death that my stepmother had tried to
force him Into making a will in her
favor, but he was firmly resolved to
make no will.
1 made up my mind to have a look
at the document. I took Harry with
me to the court where It had been
filed, and It was shown to me. It was
not in my father's handwriting, but 1
was familiar with his signature, atid It
seemed to me to be genuine. 1 noticed
that the witnesses and and the notary
were all of my stepmother's choosing
At least, there were none of father's
friends among them. The document
had not been executed on n regular
form, hut on a sheet of ordinary paper.
After examining It thoroughly I hand
ed it to Harry.
Persons in the paper business are
apt to acquire a habit on taking up a
sheet of paper of holding It up to the
light and looking at the watermark
on It. narry did this, at the same
time rubbing the surface with his
thumb and finger. I saw by the ex
pression on his face that he had made
a discovery. Hurriedly looking at the
date on which the will was made he
turned to me and said:
"That will is a forgery."
"How do you know?" I exclaimed,
ratching my breath.
'The paper was made In our mills
not a year ago. and the will was made
three years ago. in other words, the
will was made two yeara before the
paper."
"Are you sure 7"
"Yes. and we have the date in the
mills to prove what 1 say."
Though I wns delighted. I was mad
and resolved to send my stepmother
to state prison. But J afterward com
promised by her signing off her wid
ow's dower and my not prosecuting
her for forgery. 1 saved the Opiyk.
psper mills, which my husband now
owns.
