THE DAUGHTERS OF DEMOS,
A ROMANCE OF INDUSTRIAL LIFE.
BY J. MONK FOSTER.
Author of "A Pit Brow lassie," "Children
of Darkness," '"The Forge of Life," "The
Looms of Destiii3r," &c.
A HEW STORY FOB
"THE EXPRESS."
On SATURDAY NEXT, we shall com
mence publishing in "THE EXPRESS" a
Romance of Industrial Life, entitled "THE
DAUGHTERS OF DEMOS," by J. MONK
FOSTER.
$
The story opens in a typical manufacturing town,
where cotton mills, coalpits, forges, and other
workshops are abundant; where Uie masters and
workers who carry on a part of the world's work
are actively engaged in their tasks 01 fortune
hunting and bread-winning;- and where the threads
of thousands of lives are spinning themselves out
in homes poor, well-to-do, opulent.
The chiei interest centred in the Milwood
family, llrs. lluth Milwood and her three children
—two daughters of eighteen and twenty, who work
in the mills, and a son oi seventeen working in
the mines. ».
Some mystery, compounded^of wrong and, error,
attaches to Mrs. llilwood's past. She is still a
comely woman of forty-two, and her two daughters
are beautiful girls, Olive sedate and grave bejond
her jears; Butli dashing, impulsive, and romantic,
who despises the drudgery of the mill, and has
notions of raising herself socially by mem* of lier
beauty and smartness.
Quite early in the course of the story an element
of mystery is introduced by the appearance on the
scene of a stranger from abroad. He calls himseJf
Lewis Savage; is an elderly man of means; makes
it known that he intends to invest his fortune in
local industrial undertakings; and with that pur
pose in view lie makes the acquaintance of Mr.
Clarke Braroton, the principal in the firm of
llessis. Clarke Branton & Sons, Cotton Sp.inneis
and Bankers.
Lewis Savage is somewhat of an eccentric. ' He
lives quietly and plainly in lodgings; creeps here
and there about the town making enquiries; hears
of the Milwoods and seems to take some intcresc
in them; but becomes intimate with young Clarke
Branton alone, and ultimately deposits with that
gentleman's bank a large sum of money.
At this time the elder of the two girls, Olive
Milwood, is being wooed by two admirers—one of
them a big Iionest-natured miner, George Franklin,
with whom her young brother, Dick Milwood,
works; while the other is no leas a personage than
her employer, Clarke Branton. Olive's heart im
pels her towards her humbler lover, and only
thoughts of benefiting her ailing mother and am
bitious sister induce her to listen to the wealthier
man.
All these minor matters form but the beginning
of the romance. The plot ripens, and events fol
low swiftly. There is an explosion in the mlnr
where Franklin and Milwood work. The former
saves the latter's life at the risk of his own, and,
in consequence, is accepted as Olive's future hus
band. Then there is a fire at BranJton's, mills.
Lewis Savage is present durfnfc the conflagration,
and hearing that one of the Milwood girls is in
the burning mill he rushes to save her, and la
thought to have perished.
Ait this period Clarke Branton's affairs arc in a
perilous state. His losses are not covered by in
surance, but there is the large sum deposited
secretly by Savage, who has vanished. The almost
ruined millowner and banker knows Savage's con
nection with the Milwoods, knows also that they
have a diTcct interest in the fortune he holds In
trust for Savage's heirs; but he requires the money
to prop his falling house, and to save his con
science he persuades Olive Milwood to accept him
as her betrothed.
Plot and counterplot follow. Ultimately wronp
is worsted and right done to all. The story is full
of incident, and is marked by those gualities
which first secured and have since maintained the
author's great popularity.

THE DAUGHTERS OF DEMOS
