By
the
way
,
did
you
ever
chance
to
hear
of
a
Frank
Algernon
Cowperwood
or
his
wife
in
Philadelphia
?
"
she
inquired
of
Mrs.
Walker
.
"
Why
,
my
dear
Nellie
,
"
replied
her
friend
,
nonplussed
that
a
woman
so
smart
as
Mrs.
Merrill
should
even
refer
to
them
,
"
have
those
people
established
themselves
in
Chicago
?
His
career
in
Philadelphia
was
,
to
say
the
least
,
spectacular
.
He
was
connected
with
a
city
treasurer
there
who
stole
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
,
and
they
both
went
to
the
penitentiary
.
That
was
n't
the
worst
of
it
!
He
became
intimate
with
some
young
girl
--
a
Miss
Butler
,
the
sister
of
Owen
Butler
,
by
the
way
,
who
is
now
such
a
power
down
there
,
and
--
"
She
merely
lifted
her
eyes
.
"
While
he
was
in
the
penitentiary
her
father
died
and
the
family
broke
up
.
I
even
heard
it
rumored
that
the
old
gentleman
killed
himself
.
"
(
She
was
referring
to
Aileen
's
father
,
Edward
Malia
Butler
.
)
"
When
he
came
out
of
the
penitentiary
Cowperwood
disappeared
,
and
I
did
hear
some
one
say
that
he
had
gone
West
,
and
divorced
his
wife
and
married
again
.
His
first
wife
is
still
living
in
Philadelphia
somewhere
with
his
two
children
.
"
Mrs.
Merrill
was
properly
astonished
,
but
she
did
not
show
it
.
"
Quite
an
interesting
story
,
is
n't
it
?
"
she
commented
,
distantly
,
thinking
how
easy
it
would
be
to
adjust
the
Cowperwood
situation
,
and
how
pleased
she
was
that
she
had
never
shown
any
interest
in
them
.
"
Did
you
ever
see
her
--
his
new
wife
?
"
"
I
think
so
,
but
I
forget
where
.
I
believe
she
used
to
ride
and
drive
a
great
deal
in
Philadelphia
.
"
"
Did
she
have
red
hair
?
"
"
Oh
yes
.
She
was
a
very
striking
blonde
.
"
"
I
fancy
it
must
be
the
same
person
.
They
have
been
in
the
papers
recently
in
Chicago
.
I
wanted
to
be
sure
.
"
Mrs.
Merrill
was
meditating
some
fine
comments
to
be
made
in
the
future
.
"
I
suppose
now
they
're
trying
to
get
into
Chicago
society
?
"
Mrs.
Walker
smiled
condescendingly
and
contemptuously
--
as
much
at
Chicago
society
as
at
the
Cowperwoods
.
