and owing TO the excitement or the
struggle and subsequent capture Joau
fell dead of heart disease. His gaming
of the reward did him but little good.
But it will now go to his reiauVes, II
he has any, and should prove d IucAy
windfall for them.
Although Lady Burville's name was
kept out Of the papers, runlor got
about that she was connected II some
way with the case. Nothing very deli
mite was known as TO how she was I'M
plicated but it was limited that IN some
vague way the death was due to Der
influence. Alarmed at this hint OF pub
licitv. and tired of being blackmalleo
nv Pallant the little woman plucked
up her small portion of courage, ana
confessed the whole story TO Sir John.
Needless TO say, the millionaire was
deeply shocked; but as he recognized
that his wife was one OF those weak
fools of women who bring trouble on
themselves and on everyone else, ne
forgave her. He trusted to the lniunce
of his strong nature TO keep her
in the right path for the future, and
indeed, as Laura Burvil!e had an as
surcd position-fOr Sir John insisted
upon marrying her again after he knew
that Carew was really dead-and plenty
of money. she had no temptation 10
behave badly. After the confession,
and second marriage, and forgiveness,
she felt much happier than she had
done since the tragedy at Christchurch.
Her fate was q better one than she mad
a right to expect.
With Pallant, who knew that Lady
Burville had not been actually married
seeing that Carew. still lived, when the
first ceremony took place, Sir J0nn
came to q compromise. He paid nm d
bandsime sum of money, for when ne
received a receipt. Then he turned the
blacl,nailer out of the house, made
him leave England, and swore il he
ever. set foot in London again that ne
would prosecute him for Matchmaking.
AS Paliant knew that Sir John was
man of his word, and, moreover, as ne
had reaped a rich harvest by his black
euardly conduct. he willingly went
abroad. Ultimately he returned TO san
Francisco, and was shot in q Chinese
gambling shop while playing Fan an.
No one regretted him when he dled'
and the only people who gave him d
thought were the Burvilles' VINO

And the still greater william, Johh
Madison. came to his right end also.

he was arrested, and tried for the muir
