His heartless selfishness killed his wife, and after her death he shut his little daughter Lydia up in an English boarding school to be rid of her. Years later, a curious spasm of parental instinct drove him to visit the school to see his daughter. A few weeks after her father left, Lydia, weary of the boarding-schoolmistress' petty persecutions, decided to follow him to America. With no word to anyone, she stole away and boarded a steamer at Southampton. Craven was surprised to see his daughter--and not pleased. However, when an opportunity came to use her, he took advantage of it. Knowing that she would be unsuspected, he gave her a box which he told her contained documents belonging to the government, and warned her to keep her possession of it a secret. The box actually contained a magnificent necklace which Craven had stolen from a wealthy woman aboard ship. Craven's pals, suspecting him of an attempt to "double-cross" them, succeeded in getting the necklace away from the girl, but she regained it through the aid of the ship's detective, and brought it safely to New York. After they had arrived in America, Craven's gang, convinced of his duplicity with regard to the necklace, determined to revenge themselves upon him. Accordingly they sent him a knave of diamonds; knowing that it was was the first warning of death, Craven covered his eyes and shrieked. The next morning, he received the knave of clubs. Frantic with terror, he attempted to avert the gang's wrath by sending them the necklace. But Lydia, whom he again used as an unconscious accomplice, innocently disobeyed his directions, and when she came home with Peter Traft, a young man who had grown very fond of her, she found her father seated in the hall, the knave of spades clutched tightly in his dead hand.
