She was terribly frightened at the dsnOue-
ment for she knew that Foster did not
know who she was, or who her father
might have been and when the communi-
cation came in SO remarkable way, the
surprise Of the whole party may be better
imagined than described. elj
Mr. Do Long had just enough faith in
the correctness of Mrs. De Longs commu-
nication to want to see what there was in
1t, any way. So the next day he called on
Mr.. Madden, at the Occidental Hotel.
Without saying what special reason he
had for asking the question, he asked Mr.
Madden if there was not some unsettled
business between himself and the estate Of
the late Mr.. Vineyard. Mr.. Madden
thought for moment, and then he said
there was. He said several years ago he
and Mr.. Vineyard had purchased tract
of land together, and their interest was un-
divided. The land had increased and was
still increasing, enormously in value, and
he supposed Mr.. Vineyards daughter de-
sired to let her interest lie untouched, which
was the reason why the matter had never
been settled up. Besides, she had been
absent long time from the country, and
was not here to have the matter settled.
When informed iat Mrs De Long had
only just learned of the investment of her
father Mr.. Madden expressed much sur
prise. He said he supposed she and her
husband and the executors knew all about
it, but were simply letting the matter rest
for the property to increase in value. Mr..
Madden then said he was ready to make a
settlement at any time. This was readily
assented to by Mr.. De Long, and according
ly, on Saturday, Mr.. Madden transfer
red deed for 625 acres of the land to Mrs.
De Long, her heirs and assigns for ever.
Having done this, Mr.. Madden offered the
lady $4,000 for the property, but having
been informed that it is worth at least $25-
600 she declined to sell.
