As his familiar name implies, Yearashire had got all the reputation of the traditional miller, and a little more besides. There were strauge tales about him. He had got the mill early by his father's death; had married early (was said by nefarious means) the heiress to a small sheep farm, and bad soon lost her, but not the farm; bad thrust his daughter from the door before she was twenty-two; and when she was dead had taken in her only child, and thereby bangsa tale.

There was nothing sentimental about her, at least not in the ordinary sense, and she had an are before which even the miller bad been known to wince: She was now nineteen, and as strong as many young men. There was a growing suspicion abroad that in Gem even And Nick had at last been over-reached. It was clear that she was gaining authority over him and hie affairs, and although the girl aprond, over-bearing character evinced
not wanting of to all alike, rumours word her justice and even bonovolenics to those in need of it. If there were any truth in this; it was easy to believe what an effect such condnot must have had upon ber grandfather. And clese observers professed to have discovered this effect. His extortion and maliguity undoubtedly increased, whenever he could evade the vigilant eye of Gem, which as days went on he found extremely difficult to do.

She might have left the mill, and soaght pleasantar paths of life elsewhere, but to her relate und pagnacicus nature this did not soeur. The miller lud long contemplated such a eliverance, but not until now had he in found courage to try and carry it out.
