house perched on the side of an
Ohio hill. She stood with her weather
beaten age, furrowed face and
peering from beneath a voluminous
sunbonnet. Her hands, stiffened nervously

ilk to Mrs. Richardson about her
eing the daughter and heiress of
[enry W. Putnam, San Francisco
lillionaire.
The story the visitor had heard
as that Aunt Mary was the long
>st daughter of Henry W. Putnam,
ho died in San Francisco in 1915,
saving an estate estimated at 50
lillion dollars. The estate had ac
iimulated from the royalties on
ire inventions?a safety pin, a bote
fastener and a score of other sue*
jssful devices. He also was said yto
ave been one of the builders of
rooklyn's elevated road.
In 1&49,-Putnam, heading West to
lake his fortune, had left his fourear-old
daughter, Mary, and her

After the inventor's death Mrs.
Wallace's grandchildren moved

lemselves near Mrs. Mary Richard>n's
tiny farm. Aunt Mary's relaonship
was thus established. And

"I'm that upset," she went on.
"Last week Idy Gregg, that's my

saying I was heir to one million dollars,
and my long lost brother was
coming to see me, and the lawyer
from Syracuse was going to bring!
the money. My father was Mr. Putnam
,the great inventor, you know."
Aunt Mary's eyes blinked with
I tears.
| "It's all God's doings, every bit of .
it. And I said to Idy, "to think that
your Aunt Mary is the daughter of
