"a fever" the old man said in a
strange, husky whisper. Hildreth touch
ed Aliens arm.
81 have sent a swift messenger for a
license lie said half under his breath.
"In two hours it will be here. You
must marry Dare at once. 1t is what the
major wishes and the only thing to do.
Poor old fellow! He has lived on his
hope and courage this 40 years or more.
Now that the strain is ended, no wonder
he has broken down.
81 am more than ready to do as he
Wishes" Allen said in the same hushed
voice But Dare-can she bear further
excitement after all she has undergone?'
"Ask her," Hildreth said, stepping to
the bedside. There he took Major Over
toms hand in his and said aloud: "Now,
major, all is as you would have it. The
minister is here; the license soon will
be. You must drink some more brandy
and go to sleep until we wake you for
the wedding
Yes" said Vance as the old man al
most smiled, but first let me tell you
that Miss Dare is even more an heiress
than we thought. Our friend, the par
son, has just put into my hands deed
of gift to Exeter and all it contains, ex-
ecuted by Mrs. Hawkins within five
minutes of her marriage. 1t may not be
quite valid, but I think it will stand. -
mo 1 fear we have lost Hawkins for
good and always" Hildreth said as
Major Overton's eyelids fell in sleep.
Two hours later, robed all in white,
with white rose in her hair and an
other at her breast, Dare gave her hand
to Allen Fauntleroy, standing just where
her mother had made her bridal vows.
They had flung wide door and windows.
Outside the summer sun fell golden; the
summer winds laughed softly through
the leaves. Within the heavy furnished
sphendors kept still their note of gloom,
though Patsey had done her faithful
best to brighten them with feathery as
paragus, sprays Of scarlet trumpet vine
and white August lilies.
Stretched helpless upon rich faded
couch, Major Overton looked through
tears at the last of his line, given thus
at his own wish into the keeping of her
hereditary enemy. But they were not
bitter tears. Though Dare's eyes were
modestly downcast, happy bushes chased
one the other G1OQuently over her face.
Aliens countenance said oven more
plainly that he had come through storm
and stress to his hearts dear desire.
81 pronounce you man and wife.
What God hath joined together, let no
man put asunder,'' the minister said
generously. And with one thought the
welded pair turned from him to lneel
in front of Major OvertOn and bow their
heads for his blessing.
He had seemed past speech and mo-
ton, but with a last fash of the will
that had never quailed he half raised
himself, laid his hand on Dare's head
and said, with clear distinctness, God
bless my children and keep their hearts
full of love"
'Amenn' said the minister, and every
listener only echoed it. Then a solemn
hush fell on them all, for the old face,

Especial Correspondence
LONDON, April 24.-The Baroness Bur-
dett- Coutts will be so years old on April 20.
On her last birthday dozens of costly pres
ents were given her, but the one that pleas
ed her most was simple basket of flowers,
the gift of the painters and bricklayers at
work on her Stratton street residence. She
called the men in to see her. thanked them
in a pathetic speech and told them how
highly she priced the gift they had bought
her with their hard earned money. She
then gave them and their wives a holiday
and paid all the expenses. This incident is
truly characteristic of the philanthropic
baroness unaffected kindness, simplicity
and true democracy.
In 1916 the poet Thomas Moore, in writ
ing of some of his experiences Of fashiona-
BILE life in London, told how he met Miss
Angela Georgiana Burdett-Coutts at ball
and called on her the next day. When he
called, he spoke Of the splendor of the dress
the lady had worn the night before, and she
graciously displayed it in the daylight.
Moore gaZed with renewed interest on the
gown and j. Hels. Among the latter was
the famous tiara of Marie Antoinette. He
asked Miss Burdett Coutts what the money
value of her costume was, and she very
quietly said it was about 100000.
Miss Burdett- Coutts could afford it, how
ever. In 1887 she Inherited fortune which
was estimated at about 50, 900 900, together

Outside thrush began singing loud and

sun ray slipped into tho room. 1t fell
on Dare's head as she stood too rapt for
tears, her eyes full upon the dying face.
Before it mounted to the wall the gasp
