would work. [ saw Mr.. Rowland told him
my plans. 1 assured him that if we could
contrive to get you to sea for year or two,
and make you start out into active life. for
the sake Of life, you could be saved He
joined me at once. I took your money and
his, and bid him clear out You know the
rest. And now tell me, my boy, if give
you back your fortune will you forgive me?"
Forgive. doctor yes, with all my heart
for have you not taught me the necessity and
nobility Of labor ?"
Fl hope" continued the doctor, the les
son you have learned will not soon be for
gotten. Your money is safe-every penny
ofit-to the amount of one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars. Poor Rowland
has suffered much in knowing how you look
ed upon him but know that he is amply
repaid by the sight of your noble, powerful
frame, as he sees it tonight.
It was full hour before all the questions
of the happy friends could be asked and an
swered; and when the doctor and Rowland
had been forgiven and blessed for the
twentieth time, Mr.. Wilton, who had been
let into the secret that evening, said +:
Wait"
| He left the room, and when he returned
he led sweet Mary by the hand looking. if
possible, more lovely than ever.
A few words suf6ced to explain to her the
ruin which had been practiced upon her low
er by the doctor and Mr.. Rowland and
while she rejoiced at the sudden turn which
had taken place in Mr. Bonton's prospects,
she regretted that the return Of his fortune
would deprive her of the romantic privilege
of marrying man who earned his living by
honest lator. Late in the evening, after the
hearts of our friends had fairly begun to
grow tired Of joy, George asked Mary how
much longer she was willing to "wait."
Her heart was too full for utterance; but
turning her face to his, with dreaming smile
and with sparkling eyes, which spoke more
eloquently that words. he read his answer.
A few weeks after there was gay gather
ing of friends at Mr.. Wilton's Mary
Wilton was dressed in a white silk dress,
and encircling her pure white brow was a
wreath of orange flowers. She looked hap
Ply, as did also George Benton, who stood by
her side. On inquiry we learned that, on
that evening, Mary had changed her name,
and was now the wife Of the supercargo.
