MONDAY MORNING, APRIL Co. 1874.

had been player In company with Esteil's faith
er, and had always, so To speak, kept on the
track of the family.
Some women would have doubted the
old musicians story !; but Miss Eserly did
not
She saw him herself, and got out ofhim every
minute particular.
Old Gilbert was greatly distressed.
81 thought tiny duty to tell yen, madam"
he said to Marian; "but | d rather have cut roy
head off, said to Polly, said l.;
"lt seems wicked, burning shame to go and
everything is flowing on so beautiful" And
said Polly TO me.
'Gilbert, always do your duty, man, and
you'll be happy"
"You did perfectly light to tell me, Gilbert, ."
said Miss Esterly, kindly. 81 should have been
very sorry If you had not. There has been
great wrong done. Thank Heaven, it is In my
power TO right il.
"What will you 40, ma ami" asked the man,
though from his knowledge of Miss Esierley's
character, it is not difficult for him TO guess.
"Never you mind Gilbert" sail she; 81 W ill
do what is right"
So she made a confident of Lawyer Secors,
aud caused him To set on foot inquiries rela-
| tive TO young Clement Hallowell. Tie intor
nation which lie gathered settled the fact, be.
yond the shadow of doubt, that lie was
| George Halowelrs grandson, and also that bo
was young man who had led 4 noble and
| irreproachabe life, and, though very poor lie
, was respected and esteemed by all with whom
he had come in contact.
Then Miss Esterley caused a conveyance of
the Haowell estate to be drawn w, and by it
she gave everything into the possession Of tie
| heir-iu-law. Her commands, that he should
come at once aud attend TO his inheritance,
were imperative; but il was sometime before
Clement Halowell could be induced 10 take
advantage of his good fortune.
IL was not until after Miss Esteiey had de-
| livered everything into the hands of LAWYER
Secors as an agent, anu had herself left for a
| distant town, where school was offered her,
that young Hallowe came down from London
and took possession of his own.
Shortly after Marian's school began in West
lake she became acquainted with young gem
tleman named BuIke-a poor artist, handsome
and cultivated, but without money, friends or
influence.
He secured board al the house next to the
one wh-re Marian lodged, and he always wait
ed Il lil her school was out for the day before
he tonk lis walk around the park by the beau
tii.li lake; and she always went W It'll him.
AS a natural consequence. they fell in love
with each other, and Marian was so happy in
her choice that it never occurred to her to Ia
| ment the splendors she had lost in ranouncing
the Hallowel's Inheritance.
Young Burke was very eager for the we'd
| ding not to be delayed; and one summer morn
ing they were married quietly in the little
church at Westlake, and then they set out to-
gether for her husbands home.
About this home he had never told her any
| thiug-neither had she inquired SO YOU may
understand she was very deeply in love with
him-for now days the establishment is often
of Infinitely more consequence to the young
lady than the man who goes along with ii, by
| way Of incumbrance.
Marian was little puzzled by one thing -
As she had stood in the church, and listened TO
the solemn words of the marriage service, the
name of The bridegroom, though uttered by the
clergyman in very low tone of voice. had
| sounded new and strange to ber. She had not
understood IL nevertheless, IL had not sound
| ed like plain John Burke.
Seated in the train by her husbard DIS side she
| asked him about it.
| 'rhe name is all right, darling, he replied
| squeezing her hand under the folds of her
shawl-'new husbands will do such foolish
things you know; don't trouble your head about
| that
| SO Marian dismissed it from her mind.
3y and by she saw that they were nearing
| Elmsboro', the town where her fortune had
been found and lost. She leaned out of the
| window TO get a look at familiar oh hiects. unI
| husband bent over her.
did you like Elmsboro', dear?'
Very much. Twas very happy here
Il am glad. 1t is my home our holue,' he
said, quietly.
Surprise made her SILENT and the stopping o
/ the train at the station prevented further cnu
versitipn. handsome carriage and pail
| awaited them, and in a very brief space OF lime
Marian and her husband were driven 10 Hal
lowell House.
And there, drawn up in array on the lawI
wer" Old Gilbert and Polly, aud all the res, -
them, waiting TO welcome back tleir old luI,
tress.
Marian turned TO her husband, who with
smiling lace, was presenting his wife Ia thu
servants.
"What does it all mean?" she asked in a puz
zled tone.
"Nothing-except that my name Is Clemen
Burke Hallowell, and you are my wife. Par
+ don my deception, but | fell in Iowa with yol
before | saw you. knew that no ordinar
woman would have sacrificed what you di,
from sense of honor aud resolved to KNOW
you ! felt sure you would not prosper IN!
I suit IT was known to you as the heir, 50 | wa

, she could do no better, she said, seeing ihl
i, he had already settled everything his own wa,
> and she glded gracefully into her own place Il
a mistie ess, and Hallowell House had all is owi
again.
