The lady lived some blocks off, but her
house was soon gained; and on explana-
tions being made, the ring was exhibited; and
sure enough, it was fac siails Of the one
contained in the casket. The three letters
written by the dying man were mentioned,
and the paper produced, and as it tcorrespord,
ed with the three first in Cassels the mystery
was soon being unraveled. Another five
minutes walk brought them to the door OF
Mr.. Merton, where himself and Miss Cassels
were asked for. The cheeks of the former
rivaled the blush rose in its first opening
bloom, as shesaw La Motto among the visi-
tors. His kindly glances re-assuled her,
though; and the object of the call was stated.
When the letter in cypher was brought to
light, she aprang up, and in few seconds re-
turning from her room, exhibited the key {;
and the skillful tud interested La Motto soon
asciphered the directions therein contained
for recovering the hundred thousand pounds
invested in Bank of England Stock, which
had been left Edward Tremaine provided he
took the name of his maternal grandfather,
Edward Cassels.
The inn keeper and his guest, Martin, soon
retired, and they were not gone long, before
Edwin La Motto convinced Rosa Cassels that
he had believed Miss Glydon's tale ar arrant
fabrication from first to last. 1t took but
few days for the gossips of ClairsVille (of
which Commodity / believe every community
has its SHARE that the Misses Rosa and Jennie
Cassels were the loveliest girls in the world !;
that every one knew they were incapable of
doing any thing mean or dishonorable. And
it was also soon known that on the eighteenth
birth day of Rosa, she vas to be married to
Edwin La Motto; Adele and Jennie to act as
bridesmaids; and that on the morning after
the ceremony, the trio Of fair ladies, accom-
panied by the bridegroom and his father,
would set sail for New York, there to take
passage on the Persia for England.
In process of time the property was recov-
cred and as the star of the Cassels rose, so
did that of their whilome enemies, the Gly-
dons, decline. The last speculation Of old
Aaron proved failure, and the more ener-
getically he endeavored TO retrieve his losses,
tie more money lie sank; and by the time
the La Notes had made the tour Of the Brit
ish Isles and the Cont.ent, and returned
home, he had not only given up house, lands
and other etceteras, but Aura had married
Dan Wilkes, Notwithstanding rumor gave him
one or two other wives in another State. Jen-
ME Cassels married o son of Maj. Collins, and
she and her sister became the ruling spirits
among the ellie of ClairsYille.
