JUDITH CROSS. UDITH CROSS had a simple but painful history. Her father was a jeweller in the City Road, although his business was in a very small way, and indeed consisted rather of work for other jewellers in the flourish- ing parts of the City than for retail customers, he had managed to save a little money, which he had profitably invested. Judith, an only child, had been brought up entirely at home, had been fairly educated, and had been the jewel of the home. Her mother died while she was a girl, and she then kept house. To economize, she and her father took in some respectable person to reside with them, who lived as one of themselves, taking meals with them and finding a home which was as cheerful as it was homely.
