The first steamship took them to China, and here death took a hand, In Yokohama Mr, Tevis fell ill, and there he died in a few hours, leaving his bride of six weeks alone and thou- sands of miles from home, When his will was opened it was found that he had left half his estate to his wife and the other half to his little motherloss daughter ,Allce Boalt Tovis. But sho died, too, and the whole great Tevis fortune became the bride's sole prop- erty.
