With Daughter of Twenty, Wealthy
Society Woman Posed as Childless
BABYLON, L. I.—As strange a story
as has ever been included in fact or
fiction book has come to light here
with the news that Mrs. Egbert V.
Strong, wealthy, beautiful and consid
ered generous to a marked degree,
has a daughter 20 years old whom
the mother has refused to care for
since birth.
The most amazing and mysterious
fact in the case is that nobody, not
even her husband, can conceive of
uny reason for the strange abhor
rence of her only child.
Mrs. Egbert V. Strong Is rated the
wealthiest woman among the perma
nent residents of Babylon, L. I. Her
home, in the most aristocratic section.
Is a stately white mansion, shaded
by the great trees and surrounded
by well kept grounds. She is fumed
for herydiamonds, her gowns and her
exclusiveness. Through all the years
Mrs. Strong has posed as a childless
wife and her wealthy acquaintances
hate given her unstinted sympathy.
Three times during the 20 years the
father has brought mother and daugh
ter together, hoping "that natural as
section, so mysteriously suspended,
could be aroused. But each time Mrs.
Strong drove her child from her
home.
Twice in recent years Mr. Strong ’
has joined his daughter, declaring he
would never return to his wife's home
without the girl. But both times the
wife triumphed, and he returned to
her alone.
The few who know the facts speak
of Mr. Strong as a kind man, who
Today 9 s Stock Market
By T. C. SMOTWELL
NEW YORK. —Activity and strength characterized trading at the
opening'of the stock market in Wall street today. Nearly everything on
the list showed improvement. Reading and Union Pacific were the lend
ers, hut after the first ten minutes of trading, sold off on profit, taking.
The realizing sales caused declines of about a point from (he high fig
ures throughout the list. There was a subsequent rally, however, that
left quotations well above the closing of last night.
Missouri Pacific became active at higher quotations. It rose nearly
two points in the first half hour of trading. The traction shares were
also strong, B. R. T. and Interboro Metropolitan advancing fractionally.
Copper stocks continued heavy, but were dragged up with the bal
ance of the list when the rally set In. National Lead showed strength,
rising 1 1-2 points nnd persons Interested In its movement say that the
real demonstration in it has only just commenced.
In London American shares were higher under the leadership of
Reading and Union Pacific.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
1 loves his rich wife, and is powerless
; to withstand her influence and com
' mands.
Marion Goodale Strong, the dnugh
, ter, now 20 years old. lives In a fam
ily devoted to her. She is now at
the Cornell hotel, In Trumansburg. on
the shores of Cayuga lake. There is
nothing In the girl's appearance or
personality to account for the moth
er's hatred. She Is strikingly pretty,
with large brown eyes and delicately
chiselled features with a petite, well
rounded figure.
To Marlon Strong and all the world
besides, the mother's hatred is a mys
tery. No one can tell from what It
springs. To no one has Mrs. Strong,
so far as can be learned, ever at
tempted an explanation.
Mr. Strong, when seen at the Baby
lon, was overwhelmed on learning
that the family secret was out.
"I cannot, talk about my little
daughter," said Mr. Strong, greatly
agitated. “It would be useless for
me to deny the facts, but to make
any siatment would only add to my
troubles.
"My daughter is as good and pure
and sweet a girl as there Is In all
the world. Any mother might well
be proud of her. Yet my wife drove
her away as a baby. She will not
look at her. Our home Is closed to
her. Rut this shall not continue. I
have built another house here in
Rabylon. It is for my daughter. She
shall rule there In a home of hor
own.”
