briaht and strong again. when you
fell down in faint YOU let fall the
miniature, and the gentleman who was
in the shop
IL remember him. mamma" ! cried
eXcitedly; "hc was the very image of
the portrait. / fancicd | must be
dreaming"
THAT is the strangcst part of the
story, but you won't let me tell IL to
you properly, my dear. That gentle
man saw your name and address,
brought you home in cab, sent n
nurse in and everything we wanted,
and has been our good angel ever since,
He is Arthur Rashleigh, the only son
of your Aunt Betsys old lover, who,
after mourning the supposed faithless.
ness of his old love, married late in
life and has not long been dead Iii,
astonishmcnt Mt seeing you with his
fathers portrait, you may be sure
was very great. However, it was a
very lucky thing for us, after all,
Aunt Bctsy's present was not such a
poor one. BY the way, here it is Mr.
Rashlcigh was kind enough TO bring IL
back with him."
For me-may | confess 1t without
shamoi-the grateful interest felt in
him soon grew into love, and, all
happy rs my life has been since, can
ever forget that happy evening when,
walking home from the theatre, whittier
he had taken me, he told me that he
loved me dearly and asked me TO be his
wife.
"But II am poor, am not pretty,
and am so old, ] pleaded, fearing to
accept this sweet, new happiness, aud
mindful of Lena's depreciation of my
personal appearance age, etc
Arthur laughed and drew my arm
closer in his.
"If you are too old for marriage at
90, how may | hope with six years
more added on ever to enter that bliss
ful sate?" he asked.
So said yes. and soon after we all
went down to Aunt Betsy's and there l
was married at the little villags church
to the son of her old lover, who loved
and reverenced the qNeer, touchy old
maid not little for her loyal devotion
to his father.
So Aunt Betsys present saved my
dear mothers life and also saved me
from the dreadful fate Lena had
threatened me with. had 1t made
into locket and wear it constantly
1t is generally mistaken for the portrait
of my dear husband; so is the large oil
painting of his father which hangs in
our drawing room, from which the
miniature was copied.
We are very happy, and when my
brother Walter comes home, as we ex.
peot him to do, with his young bride
next Christmas, we shall have won
derful story to tell him of that SAINT
present which he and Lena thought sc
little of.
