Regularly each succeeding February there came to Anderson Crow a package of twenty dollar bills amounting to one thousand dollars, the mails being inscrutable.

The Crow family prospered correspondingly, but there was a liberal frugality behind it all that meant well for Rosalie when the time came for an accounting.

Anderson and Eva "laid by" a goodly portion of the money for the child, whom they loved as one of their own flesh and blood.

The district school lessons were followed later on by a boarding-school education down State, and then came the finishing touches at Miss Brown's in New York.
Rosalie grew into a rare flower, as dainty as the rose, as piquant as the daisy.

The unmistakable mark of the high bred glowed in her face, the fine traces of blue blood graced her every movement, her every tone and look.
