POSTSCRIPT.

A last means of deciding the difference Of
opinion between the two brothers was still in
Hsnry's possession. He had his own IDEA of
the use to which he might put the false teeth,
as a means of inquiry, when his fellow trav-
elers returned 20 England.
The only surviving depository of the de-
mestic history of the family, in past years,
was Agnes Lockwood's old nurse. Henry
hook his first opportunity of trying to revive
her personal recollections Of the deceased
Lord Montbarry. But the nurse had never
forgiven the great man Of the family for his
descrtion Of Agnes: she fatty refused to con-
suit her memory. Even the bare sight Of
my lord, when I last saw him in London"
said tho old woman, made my finger nails
itch to set their mark on his face. Iwas sent
on an errand by Miss Agnes, and met him
coming out OF the dentists d0or-and, thank
God that's the last saw Of him.
Thanks to the nurses quick temper and
quaint way Of expressing herself the object
OF Henrys inquiries was gained already lie
veutured on asking if she had noticed the sit
uation Of the house. She had noticed, and
still remembered the situation-''did Master
Henry suppose she had lost the use Of her
senses. because she had happened to be nigh
on so years oidr The same day he took the
false teeth to the dentist. and set all further
doubt Gf doubt had still been possible), at
rest forever The teeth had been made for
the first Lord Montoarry.
Henry had never revealed the existence OF
this last link in the chain of discovery to any
living creature, his brother Stephen included.
He carried his terrible secret with him 70 the
rreys r,a,,,-,.
be past on which he preserved the same com
passionate silence. Little Mrs. Ferrari never
knew that her husband had been-not, as she
supposed, the countess victim-but the
countess accompice She still believed that
the late Lord Montbarry had sent her the
E1 ,Oe0 note, and still recoiled from making
use OF a present, y hi.h she persisted in de-
claring had 'ths stain Of her husbands blood
on it."
Agnes, with the widows entire approval,
took the money to the Children's hospital
ard spent it ia adding to the number OF ths
beds

took place. At the special request Of Agnes,
the members Of the family were the oRiy
