brief space Of time Marian and her hus-
band were driven to the Hallowell House.

were old Gilbert and Polly, and all the rest

Marian turned to her husband, who,
with smiling face, was presenting his
wife to the servants.
"What does it all mean % she asked, in
a puzzled tone.
"Nothing-eXcept that my whole name
is Clement Burke Hallowell, and you are
my wife. Pardon my deception Marian,
but I fell in love with you before saw you.
I knew that no ordinary woman would
have sacrificed what you did from sense
of honor, and resolved to know you. 1
felt sure you would not prosper my suit if
j was known to you as the heir, so l was
a poor artist instead; and, darling, [ am a
very poor artist, for [ never drew athing in
all my life. You know you used to tax me
last summer with my miserable laziness,
but I was on an entirely different kind of
business from. picture making. And you
say you forgive me?''
She could do no better, she said seeing
that he had already settled everything his
own way and she glided gracefully into
her old place as mistress, and Hallowell
House had all its own again.
