great heart and quiet Christian quail
ties. When his will was read it was
found that having no near relatives he
had left Rodney Hall TO his namesake
and godson, Hazel's boy. To Dunstan
Kirke he had left hundred pounds
and receipt in full for the mortgage
on the MILL To Lord Travers was
willed fifty thousand pounds, the
amount oil which his mothers will had
deprived the young lord, and the resi-
due OF the squire's estate went to Sir
Rodney Trayers.
So even from beyond the grave did
the squire's love and devotion follow
Hazel. Her husband was enabled to
clear Carringford of its mortgages and
resume his old position among his
peers.
Lord Travers was satisfied with the
wealth of affection which his wife had
brought TO him; but he also fully recog-
nized that it was through her he had be-
come again prosperous man, and en-
abled to hold his old place in life.
Hazel never forgot her noble old
friend. His grave was always strewn
with the freshest flowers that were in
bloom, and she cherished his memory
with staunch devotion. Women rarely
forget those who really love them.
Her father fulfilled Doctor Thorne's
prophecy, and as he grew stronger his
sight was restored to him; but he was
no longer known as the worst tempered

through which he had passed had
taught him serious lesson which he
did not forget. Both he and his faith
ful wife are still occupants OF the old
mill. Dunstan Kirke is growing old,
however, and is talking about giving
the mill up to Dan and Joe, his faithful
millers. When he does he will after
wards live at Rodney Half, as Squire
Rodney, IN his will had requested in
case the miller outlived him.
Dolly Dutton had been Mrs. Pittacus
Green for more than two years, She is
the mother OF a tiny atom OF humanity
named Hazel. Dolly is triae stouter,
trifle more aristocratic. The knowl-
edge and experience gained during a
year spent mostly in travel has served
to tone down her brusqueness and give
her something OF the refinement which
was so natural to her COUSIN; but she is
still a famous huusekeeper. She goes
into society with her eccentric husband
and they are both general favorites.
Dolly has her house in st. Johns Wood
Road, and Captain Green also purchas-
ed Fairy Grove because Dolly admired
Brighton. So they divide their time
between London and the former place
with an occasional trip to Blackburn or
Carringford Hall. Captain Green is
very proud OF his wife's beauty, and
his love for her seems to increase rather
than diminish,
At the time Of her husbands death,
Lady Villas telegraphed at once to her
father, who came from Dovenshire inn
mediately and was overjoyed to find his
daughter alive, and he greeted her as
one restored from the grave. He was
shocked when he heard the full extent
of her husbands cruelty. Itseemed
scarcely possible that Sir Charles should
have been able to palm off upon society
the story OF his wife's death--a tact in
comprehensive to the rest OF the world
as well as DR.. Bradford. When he re-
allied what pains Lord Villas has taken
to conceal his wife from her relatives
aud her friends no longer marveled at
his success in the other matters.
Lady Villas, at the baronet's death
inherited an ample fortune, which she
devoted almost entirely to works oI
charity, and the poor Of her fathers
parish had good cause to bless the cler-
gyman's daughter. She recovered her
health in great measure; but she must
necessarially remain cripple all hel
life; but she finds abundant peace and
happiness in the work OF noble life.
Lady Maud Weatherby married Lord
Clyde. She never knew that her guard
ian had been false to her trust, as she
had duly received her fortune. She
was unwilling to accept Lady Travers
legacy, but when Lord Travers had re
fused to touch farthng OF it, she was
obliged to give way. She became {
great friend OF Hazel's, and Lord and
Lady Travers are frequent guests o
Lord Clyde. And Lady Clyde often
visits her old home, Carringford Hall
where she receives a warm welcome
from all her old friends in the neigh
borhood.
Hazel's theatrical friends have shared
in the general prosperity. Edith Nor
ford has married Fred Vaughan. Al
her own mother died previous to he
marriage, she resides with her mother
in-law, who received her as a beloved
daughter. and they all have happ.
home.
Fred Vaughan is musical director o
the Italian Opora; besides, he is wei
known as a popular composer. Both
he and his vile are the welcome guess
of Lord and Lady travers, neither o
