rivcn her all his forlunc-hc bestowed
all his love upon her.
"'i We w., never tod Ecr that her cousin
1noHorc Icrrande was the wife Of the
son he had dis )wncd'
As TO Theodore ScabuFy' he had been
deserted by his VIE ana hhaIy came
North. ,,,
previously; bat he was a man OF prin-
riplc. and when he caught sight cf his
fathers ward at the mansion he sup.
rosad that it was Lconorc LegIandc.
Hence the note and his efforts to see
her, wondering how atwas that she had
heop taken in by the Doctor, mystiiied,
maddened by his fathers iifm refusal to
admit him beneath the same roof.
As to I conoro Lcgrande, she confessed
all. She had kept her yow-had MUIR
dercd the Doctor, hoping that the fortune
would descend to his son. Then she
would force Theodore to acknowledge
her again.
She had thrown the knife and tho
handkerchief into Lconorc's room, had
plottcd to have her arrested for the
crime; but, learning that she was the
real heircss, had sent for her to threaten
or compromise when arrested by my
self.
Thus the truth was known at last. and
Theodore Scabury was released from
custody at once
His pale face writhcd at the thought
that his legally welded wife was a
proven murdercSS.
That night, however, she made it pos
sible for the scandal CT public trial to
be avoided.
SIZE committed suicide in her prison
cell, and the true mystery Of the Sea-
bury case never reached the public
prints.
As to Leonorc-my LeOnorc-she knew
that | loved her. A week later she
promise to become my wife before a
month had passed by.
She insisted on dividing her fortune
with Theodore Scabury and he, a gloomy,
heart broken man, went abroad, and
Colonel Cain, reformed, went with him as
valet and companion.
Ketcham commended ne highly for all
| had done In the case, and is yet my
friend.
But l often wonder If at any time he
really believed that the assassin of DR..
Scabury was my bonny bridc-my inno-
cent, beautiful LconOrc!

CHAPTER XXXIf.

Ny story is ended.
Doubtlcssly the reader has already
guessed what came to me in a fash as
gaZed at the face Of the woman so like
the face of LeOnOre.
An hour later, after she bad been cen
frontel with Theodore Seabury and
Lconorc-my LcOnOre-wc knew every
dark, hidden mystery in the Seatury
case.
Theodore SeabIry was induced to
speak first. Two years previous he had
welded in the South woman--thc
woman l had arrested.
Ter name was LcOlOrc Lcgrandc, and
rot until she was his WIFE did he realize
that passionate, hateful tigreSs was his
bride.
Fashion, folly, and Extravaganza was
all she thought OF, and when their means
ran out and she asked for more she
learned that DR.. Seabury had disOwncd
bis son for marrying aGa Gainst his wishes.
Disguised one night she visited tho
DoCtOr-it was in New Orleans, where
he was visiting.
Her fierce demands on'y drove tho
Doctor to deeper dislike for her siren
nature. She vowed vengeance; She
swore a terrible oath that if he did not
take herself and Theodore to his home she
would haunt him day and night and
finally murder him, and said that TheO-
dore. too, was resolved to have his for
tune.
DR.. Scabury believed this. He now
refused even to SD ak to his son. whom
be believed to be heartloss, selfish in
CRATE.
The next night, as he was passing a
dark court, bullet grazed his hat. lie
fastened to the hotel, left it secretly,
and took steamer up the Mississippi
River
A mishap delayed him at a small and
obscure landing. He decided to cross
the country to a railroad, fell through Il
broken bridge into stream, lost con-
sciOusnpss, and aWOke to find himself Ia
q humble cabin, with beautiful girl
watching and nursing him.
This girl was my LeonOre the protcge
of the wealthy Doctor-and fate had
playcd him a curious trick.
For she was the cousin Of Theodore
Seabury's wife, of the same name, Leo
ntr', Uu1 LOOIOiO DOiOJ, "hu HOl plOtO
type in features.
Dr.. Scabury discovered the remarka-
Bile resemblance and learned of the re-
lationship, but he did not tell my Leo
more the truth.
He learned her stOry-a sad one Her
father her only surviving relative, had
died a week previous. She was alone in
the world.
A relative-a cousin, Leonore Lc-
grandc-she said, had, year previous,
robbed her father Of every dollar he pos
sessed, and had fed. She, Lconore
Dolby, was therefore penniless.
DR.. Seabury hated the Leonorc face,
but he could net but be drawn to the
gentle, innocent girl who had saved his
life in the river at the risk of her own.
He had made her his Ward-he had
