He said, "Violet knows and that is
enough"
She babe him cold good evening, and
returned to her room, heartily wishing that
was more distant than ever toward Violet
now, and only spoke when she was COM
PEELED to.
But let US leave them for awhile and re-
turn to England. Every one thought as
did Violet herself, that she had no other
relations than Leighton's. But it was not
so. Her mother had brother who was
very wild. Leaving home when he was
Is, he was never heard from afterwards
But after awhile he became tired of wander
ing around, and thought he would come
and see his only sister. All these years he
had been living in Ireland, so of course
heard of bis sisters marriage, but not OF
her death, When he returned to England,
he was very much grieved to hear of her
death, but cheered up when he heard that
she had left little girl. His joy was soon
turned to sorrow, for he heard that she had
come to America
Arthur Leighton that was his name }
had been making money while in Ireland.
So when he came to England, he bought
two handsome houses and lands surround
ing them. He lived in luxury for about
three years, and was now dead. He left
all his money and property to Violet 1t
was valued at about $50, 100000
Violet was now rich. Yes, even richer
than her uncle.
Arthur Leighton lawyer wrote to Violet
telling her of her great wealth.
When she received the letter, she was
just ready to 90 to party. After she read
it, she looked to see if there wasn't a mis-
take in the name, but there was none
whatever. She carried the letter to her
uncle, too surprised to speak, who, when
he read it, clasped her in his arms and told
her the whole story of her Uncle Arthur's
life.
When Viola heard of it, she was filled
with rage. Lord Grayson did moi come to
see her now, it was Violet.
When Violet fully realized that she Was
so rich, she knew chat she would have to
leave her uncle's and 70 TO live in Eng
land. Violet knew it would be very lone
some living al by herself, with no one but
the servants So she said to her uncle,
''Uucle, am going 80 ask great favor o.
you. Won't you let Dolly 60 over and
live with me? 1t will he very lonesome
for me, and, besides | do not know any
one.
Her uncle sat very silent for few min
utes, in when Violet waited in breathless
silence.
At last he spoke, ''Violet it Is very hard
to part with my youngest child, the one
which looks so much like my dear wife
But out of sympathy for my only sister 3
child, l will let her go. No matter what
Viola and Maud say, she is going"
Violet answered not a word, but kissed
her uncle, and went to find Dolly.
Viola did all she could to prevent
Dolly's going, but her father had made up
his mind that she was to go, and there was
no use in saying anything.
Viola would not say goodbye to the
girls, so they had to go without seeing her,
for she shut herself up in her room.
They had delightful voyage. The
weather was fine, and they had everything
to make them happy. Mr.. Leighton and
Maud had given them many presents,
among them some interesting books.
When they reached the house, Violet
could hardly believe that it belonged to
her. A servant showed them up broad
stairway into handsomely furnished room,
and then left them. z Violet sank into an
