The rest Of the journey passed unevent-
fully, and the travellers reached home in the |
afternoon. II was a beautiful day, clear
and sunny, and the city Of Brotherly Love
was at its best, as the carriage rolled rapid
ly through the broad streets.
"What a lovely place" said Isabel, as
they stopped before large stone mansion,
set in the midst Of lawn lavishly adorned
with shrubbery and statuary and watered
by the cooling spray of a large and beauti-
fountain.
This is home" said Mr. Falconer, as he
handed her from the carriage. and noted
the delight in her face.
