ginning. She had given herself to him
without condition; there were no men
tai reservations, and no germs of
thought which might some day take
form and suggestion of escape in pleas
of incompatibility and divorce.
The two were to become one as the
redeemed soul in the Christian faith
becomes "a new creature" in divine
love. And thus she loved and trusted.
Old Charley Molier was happy too, in
his way. The long-nursed plan of his
life for the marriage of Nivette and her
cousin Adolf was scattered and aban-
doned; but Vivette was happy; her af-
famed husband had won his highest
admiration while he was yet nobody
and coming from nowhere" and now
he had no further doubt that besides
his other good qualities he was ''some-
! body" and came from Gray Sulphur
Springs, and would return there to re-
claim his estate and To take his place
among the highest. And thus he NUT
tered to himself of the past and coming
| events:
"All's well that ends well-Old Char
ley's nobody's fool-thought from the
/ first Joe was good stock-malIe his
mark in the world-must get out of
Cincinnati-people mustn't lie about me
can give her hundred thousand my
self-bad about losing the notes; might
make trouble-still have the wax inn
pressions; they will cure thatr-and
Blalxe's BLACKWELL receipt-a little too
sharp for the Kentuckian-keep my
! own counsel" and so on and on,
until the mutterings died into a
whisper.
At the happy home of Joseph Gust
and Mary, where Joseph the younger
had spent so many happy hours, a
cordial approval met the approaching
union of the adopted son with Vivette
Molier They had known her dead
mother and remembered her many
worthy qualities which appeared to
| them to shine out afresh in the daugh-
ter. They had expended their years
of care and fostering love upon the
boy saved from the waters and the
whirlwind, and they had their reward
not only in the exercise of these
humane virtues, but in the return of
| gratitude and true filial love on the
J part of their adopted son. And they
saw him about TO take his place at the
! bar and among men with the chosen
partner of his life beside him TO jointly
bear life's burdens and participate in
| its hopes fulfilled.
! l., III al 81
cinnati sheriff's deputy from Ken
tucl1y accompanied by the sheriff
of Hamilton county, Ohio, called
upon Molier, served him with sub
pGna To appear as a witness in the
former state, and rendered him in adj
vance the proper fees.
81 will CO." said Molicr, without
/ prior tender of fees" And he then
! made note of the date of his required
attendance, and invited the officers to
be seated; which the deputy did, while
the Ohio sheriff pleaded business and
retired.
"Do you know something about this
case, Mr.. Sheriff." asked Molier.
YES" replied the officer, IL could
not well help knowing-nothing else
talked of up about Gray sulphur
This is suit about the possession
of that property, believer"
YES; Sam Blake is trying to keep
the place away from the proper heir
so they say don't know much about
il myself"
is the heir himself there; or does
an attorney act for him in his alb.
! Scnce?
The man is there himself"
Have you seen him."
NO, / haven't seen him. But lac is
there. People say he is the true heir
some of them do, not all. 4"
How does there come to be any
| doubt about the mattcr?"
well, you sec, Joe Blake
that's the heir-wcnt away from
the Springs with his father when
he was little boy: and his father
jeff Blakc-was murdered at Coving-
ton, and Joe was taken off to England.
| Now he comes back and tells all about
! it. And Sam-thats his uncle
] doesn't want to turn over the estate"
well, that's all very strange. Does
Joe, as you call him, know anything
about his early life and the people
| about the Springs?"
