CHAPTER XIX-CoNTNUED.
Bladon carried the news to George
Arundel. He had a wonderful respect
for the old gentleman since he had done
so much for his masters family, and
there was genuine ring of sympathy
in his tone as he said:
poor Mr.. Hardcastle, he's gone an
done it at last, Master George-but I've
knowed for the past few weeks there
was no hope for him.
"Whatl" Arundel cried, in startled
dismay. Something happened to that
fine fellow?"
"Aye, he's going to be married on
Monday"
''To Mrs. Evesham?"

wait, an she's willing-mayhap, poor
chap, he thinks as it's got to be, he
might as well get it over an adone
with"
Yes, Bladon was quite right. Mr..
Hardcastle had pleaded hard and sue
cessfully for a speedy marriage. He
claimed that they were only ridiculous
while in state of engagement that he
had not so much time to spare that he
could afford to lose n single week of
happiness, that the house wanted mis-
tress and the girls legal guardian, and,
finally that there was no sense, need
nor expediency in delay.

Friend Of the groom came at the ap-
Npointed hour and performed the cere-
mony, and the next day things went on

the family circle.

permitted it, they carried out their
Eplan of visiting England, and one Au-

the very landing-stage at Liverpool
Hooks, where, years before, the help
Jess babe had been delivered up by its
knother into the hands of stranger.
"Yod were too young to remember it,
Wanda" Mrs. Hardcastle said, as she
ltood gazing around, with hand on the
kirl's arm.
"Ah, yes" was the reply in q low,
loft voice; still the place has sad as
Nociations for me. Oh, If I had not
hallen into your tender hands, trem-
le to think what might have been my
tlte."

There is one cry from the lips of the
20 girls. Harry and the next in

And when Harry has kissed n dozen
Ines the sweet, uplifted faces, he turns
