Thus have pieccd together the narrative

If the truth must be told, Annie's story,
painful and terrible as 1t was, brought me
certain sense of relief. If it were true-and
how could doubt it, coming to me with such
sad assurance of truthful tears and protesta-
tons? surely Madeline would never consent
to marry the author OF such mischief What
ever happened, she must know the truth
without delay; and, all other means failing,
she should hear it from my own lips. Yes,
face TO face with the man who was to be her
husband. | would warn her Of his unwOrthi-
ness; not alas! in any hope that his over
throw could ever be my gain, but purely in
the wish TO save her from future misery and
degradation. If, after having been assured
of the truth, she still persisted in the union,
she would do so with her ewes omen, and /
/ should have done nv duty. Sucha contin-
gency. however was scarcely possible
Early in the afternoon, we left Gwendovey
in the country cart John Rudd driving, and
| seated bv Annie's side. On reaching Tor
borne. | was eager TO push ON home at once
and succeeded in hiring at the inn GIG and
n fast-trotting horse. So we said goodbye

WAITING for him in fine town and whose busi-
mss ,,ouId lead him paxt morning FaImoutb-
