Ten different times the story is told of the young convert who, to escape from her family, who wish her to marry against her will, assumes the garb of a monk, is accused of some misdeed, suffers punishment without indicating herself, and at last triumphs by announcing her name. Eugenia is in this way brought before a judge, whom she recognises as her father and reveals herself to him.
"Old Adam walked out for good to-day, turned the whole works over to John troubles, triumphs, opportunities, disasters and all. And it's a man's sized job the boy has drawn, believe me especially right now, with Jake Vodell as busy as he is." "The men in the Mill were all pleased with the change, weren't they?" asked Mary.
