She saw again the stately gentleman who came to her, and told her he was her father's third cousin, Captain Danton, of Danton Hall.

She had never seen him before; but she had heard of her wealthy cousin from childhood, and knew his history.

She knew he had married in early youth an English lady, who had died ten years after, leaving four children--a son, Henry, and three daughters, Katherine, Rosina and Eveleen.

The son, wild and wayward all his life, broke loose at the age of twenty, forged his father's name, and fled to New York, married an actress, got into a gambling affray, and was stabbed.

That was the end of him.
