them and walked toward the hotel, they going
in the same direction, and keeping him in

Julian was pacing his room like Gagged
lion when his travelling companion entered
his eager manner and excited look announc'

opened, and the face he loved most in the
world smiled in, like an angels, upon him.
The other faces somehow melted out of view
and those two, reunited after all their perils,

their meeting, tasted in that supreme moment

homestead, being content to end his days un'
der the roof of these two whom he so dearly
loves. ...
Rose is not with them. She married, about
twelve months since, a young Englishman OF
noble birth, and with him has returned to her
native land. Old Roger accompanied them,
feeling yearning to see the "old country
once again. since his master needed his SER
vices no more, and died few weeks after he
set foot on her soil, being ministered to by
Rose, with faithfulness and affection, up to
the last hour of his life.
A formal pardon was accorded to Julian
by the Governor Of California, on the pre-.
sentation of petition, signed by many in
fuential names, by Major Lyndhurst himself,
who succeeded in obtaining an interview with
him, in which he aroused the Governors
sympathy by full account of all the touch
ing circumstances connected with his daugh-
ters marriage and separation from her hus-
band, as we'll as more complete history of
his son nlaw's early life than he had yet
heard. None of them cared, however, even
after all danger was over, to prolong their
STAY in the scene of their disasters. Evelyn
and her husband were already far away, and
the rest of the household followed them as
soon as the ranch was sold and Major Lynd-
hursts business affairs properly settled.
Evelyn never knew, until she had been SET
tied for some time in her new home, that her
husbands real name was Manvers, not Nor
Vile. Nor could she become reconciled to
the change, until the birth of beautiful boy
impressed upon her the expediency of no
longer adhering to an assumed name, and es-
pecially one upon which for time so dark a
shadow had rested.
1t is delicious Spring afternoon. Julian
and Evelyn are sitting in their verandah, sur
rounded by wealth of tropical bloom.
Little Leonard (the only one of the two Leon
ards ever called by the name) sprawls on the
soft grass just in front, guarded by black
nurse, who watches his frolics with delight.
Birds sing in wild, sweet chorus all around
and about them. Subtle perfumes float on
the air, whose languor is tempered by soft,
light breeze. Every sense is soothed by Ma
ture'o aspect. But something more than the
charms of flowers and song, and tender breeze,
steals into the heart of the young pair,
filling them with peace too Ieep for expires.
sion, gratitude too profound for speech In
the love they bear each other, and the many
blessings they enjoy, they must have been
happy, even had their happiness not been en-
hanced by contrast with past grief. But it
never could have been as supreme as it now
is, but for the remembrance of an escaped
peril-a doom too dreadful for utterance-
which might have been theirs, but which,
through the mercy of Heaven, has passed
away out of their lives.
