A Mystery
Unraveled
By MARY G. COLBY
My father died before my mother,
and at ber death a woman who had
been In the family kept up the bouse
and took care of oie. I was then a
girl of ten, Dot old enough to kuow
anything about tny affairs or why Ming
Meade assumed the position she occu
pied. Bbe was not uu agreeable per
son, as I remember her In those days,
but she was all I bud In the world to
love, and 1 tried to love ber.
Bbe gave me to understand that she
bad promltied my mother at her deatb
she would take care of me and Bring
me up.
The only person wbo ever to my
knowledge came to see ber was a
smooth faced professional looking
man, wbo used to have long conversa
tions with her. After awhile I learn
ed that his name was Cheatham and
that he was au attorney. There was
something repellent about him, and
whenever he came to the house 1 touk
pains to keep out of bis way.
One thing did not coincide with Miss
Meade's statement that she was sup
porting me. This was that while she
was miserly with regnal to herself she
was liberal with regard to me. 1 b:ul
all the expensive clothing I wished
and was never denied anything needed
or coveted. 1 was educated at the beat
schools and at sixteen was sent to a
finishing school. One thing Mtsi
Meade positively forbade I was not
allowed to visit any of my schoolmates
The day before I was eighteen years
old Mr. Cheatham called to see Mis
M ea de. a nd 1 hey bad n discussion

I heard Mr Cheatham Bay, "If you'll
lenvo It to me 1 can brim: it out ail
rijiht without any great ri.-li; IT you
manage It as you propose you'll wreck
yourself and me too."
The words made no Itnpn slon on
meat the time, for I su ppo.su I they re
ferred to some private matter between
the lawyer and Miss Meade that did
not concern me. Afterward I thought
a great deal about them. When I came
of age. and especlully after this Inter
view, 1 noticed that Miss Meade was
very much absorbed about something
and appeared worried. To be worried
was unusual with her, she being one
of the most composed persons I ever ;
met '
I was now old enough to wonder ;
where the money thut was spent on
me Hud I was spending came from. I
put a few leadinj.' questions to MKs
Meade, which she parried. I began t" !
think there was some mystery In our
relations, but was not prepared to hi
list on knowing anything she did no!
tell me of ber own free will. Having
been brought up with the Idea that I
owed everything to her. 1 did not care
to risk "killing the goose that laid the
golden otrg."
One day when she was not at home
I wished for something from the store
room. She alwitys kept the room lock
ed, and no one knew where the key
was except herself In a box contain
ing metal odds and ends was a bum h
of keys. I tiled (hem one by one llh
I found one that would unlock the
door I wKhrd to pass. I'inrudiui:

tested myself uf. anil found It to lie a
letter writ i en by my father to my
mother before they were married de
lariiii; that he had (,'lven her up. since
he whs pooi' and she possessed a
primely fortune.
This was ustonNhlng uews to me.
How could It be that I was-dependent
upon one who had been my mother's
'lotiseh iid manager and must have aft
r my fit liter's death taken a part In
he management of his nlYalrs 1 he
San to surmise an explanation. I bad
not heard cither that my mother had
been rich or had lost her property. It
looked to me that the money I was
spending must be derived from that
fortune my father referred to. The
more 1 thought about the matter the
further 1 went in my Inferences till I
iH-iran io suspect that Miss Meade had
taken advantage of my tiaviui; fallen
Into her hands when a child to get hei

In ttie matter. Had I been a
nan It would have been easier, but
for a girl not far past eighteen I could
eo no way of uncovering the uiys
tery.
Keeping my suspicions from MN
Meade. I resolved to secure advice
The father of one of my schoolmates
was a lawyer, and through her I se
tired an Interview with him. He got
nil the Information I could give him
alxMit my father and mother nnd pit mi
ised to look the matter up. It was not
loin; before through his daughter he
asked me to call uou him. ami when
I did Po he told me that my mother
trul died leaving n preat dent of un
pnvduotlve property, which was now
vie Mim; n fine Income.
And this was the money on which I
wrs living ami procuring all I wished
for. Hut what was Miss Meade s oh
loet In telling me that I was depend
