Until my mother brought me home, a. little girl, from India, he waa the favoriti nephew, aud waa supposed to be the heir to all his grandfather’s wealth. John Rodwell hated me, snd showed it. too, and that turned ths old gentleman against him. W hen I was ■boat thirteen, grandfather made a fresh will; snd as ha was never content to have me a moment from his aide, it waa dictated to the lawyer in my presence. In it I was named heiress to ail he pos sessed. with the exception of sn annu ity to John, and the former will, by which John would have inherited ail his wealth, was destroyed.
