hush the whole thing up as speedily as
possible. Now. however. all must be
made clear"
With few vigorous strokes. he took
up the floor of the room. A tiny skel-
eton. half-bedded in the moist ground,
met their eyes, and Mr.. Cowley turned
aside to hide his tears.
Poor thing!" he said sadly,

boy, and. above all. not word to the
girls of what we have found today"
So Mrs. Cowley had her way, after
all, and spent happy Christmas Day
at Mecklenburgh Square. surrounded
by all the members of her family, and
waited upon at table by no less per-
son than Mrs. Mccarthy, to whom she
'clung as kind of fellow sufferer from
the whims of the head of the house.
Christmas and New Years Day hav-
ing passed gaily away. there only re-
manned the wedding of Rose, and for
that need not hint that the greatest
preparations were made.
The happy day came slowly on. The
tidings of the romantic betrothal had
awakened much curiosity among those
to whom the pair were known, and the
church was crowded when the carriage
drove to the door.
Rose faltered slightly as she stood
on the threshold Of the church and
gazed upon the concourse Of people;
but glance from the dear companion
at her side reassured her, and calm
and happy she moved onward and took
her place before the altar.
Not to the haunted house. however
but to pleasant villa upon the sea-
coast, Mr.. Vernon took his fair young
bride.

their new home-the doubts and follies
