CHAPTER XCIX.
CONCLUSION.

At last the maniac was deau, aOu In
his last moments he had made such re
paration as was in bis power for the evil
that hs had done. With that slight
touch OF bis dry, f. vered lips he had
made the assertion ~ which was 10 &c
pend the future peace aud comfort OF
the woman whom he bad so cruelty |
misused To her mind the acquittal
was perfect; but she never explained to
human ears-not even to those OF her
sster-the manner in which it had been
given. Her life, as far as We are con-
cerned with it, has been told. For the
rest, it cannot be but that is should be
better than that which was passed. If
there be any retribution for such suffer-
ings in mOsey. liberty, and outward
comfort, such retribution she possessed;
for all that had been his was now hers.
He had once suggested what she should
do, she even to be married again;and
she had felt that of such a career there
could be no possibility. Anything but
that! We all know that widows prac-
tees in this matter do not always tally
with wives vows; but, as regards Mrs.
Trevelyan, we are disposed to think
that the promise will be kept. She has
her child, aud he will give her suffic-
emit interest to make life worth hav-
ing.
Early in the following spring Hugh
Stanbury was married to Nora Rowley
in the parish church at MOnkhams-aO
which place by that time Nora found
herself to be almost as much at home
as she might have been under other cir
cumstances. They had prayed that the

when the day arrived there was no very
close privacy. The parish church was
quite full, there were half dozen
bridesmaids, there was great break
fast, Mrs. Crutch had new brown silk
gown given to her, there was long ar.
ticle in the county gazette, and there
wers short paragraphs in various me- |
trepOlitsn new spapers. 1t was gener- |
ally thought among his compeers that
Hugh Stanbury had married into the
aristocracy, and that the fact was
triumph for the profession to which he
belonged. 1t showed what a Bohemian
could do, and that men of the press in
England might gradually hope to force
their way almost anywhere. So great
was the name of Monkhams He and
his wife took for themselves a very
small house near the Regents Park, at
which they intend 10 remain until Hugh |
shall have enabled himself TO earn an |
additional two hundred a year. Mrs. |
Trevelyan did not come to live with |
them, but kept the cottage near the
river at Twickenham. Hugh STAN
bury was very averse to any
