would rather you did not thus punish
her, George.
But Mr.. Rayerswood was for once
obdurate.
There was a somewhat quaint scene
between the father and daughter.
Ellie, with her pretty mouth more

full of new light. seemed to care moth

be fixed for their marriage, telling Ellie
that he would not leave her behind.

clasped as she passed along the aisle
to the vestry.
''Ihank you-thank YOU a thousand

"God bless you Mrs 'Estrange!''
His was the first lips to give her her
new title and it came to her with al
most a surprise.
There was little merriment when she
drove away, for her fathers brow was
clouded, and her mothers face was sad;
