Five years have passed since Leah S
death, but her memory lives bright
and beautiful among those who loved
her best Sir Basil and Hettie have
been three years married, and they
live entirely at Brentwood. Sir
Arthur implored them to let it be so.
He could not bear to live alone again.
So they had consented 10 make Brent
wood their home; leaving it at times
to go to Glen, when the general al
ways accompanied them. He loved
Hettie, and as the years rolled on,
ne looked to her for all the comfort
and brightness of his life. But those
who knew him best said that she had
never occupied the same place in his
heart which Leah had.
There is no fear that Leah will be
forgotten at Brentwood. The beauti-
full picture of her shown at the Royal
academy and called The Passion
flower" hangs in the drawing-rOom
there. Every one who sees it stops
and locks with wonder at the lovely
face and dark eyes that seem TO fol-
low one.
Lady Carlton has a fine, handsome
boy, whom she has named Arthur,
who inherits her blue eyes and golden
hair. She thinks that there is no boy
in England like him, and Sir Basil is
of the same opinion, though perhaps
in his heart he loves best the baby
girl called Leah, whose dark eyes and
lovely face bring so wildly back TO
him the one buried forever from the
sight OF men.
One morning Lady Carlton, at play
with her baby-girl, caught her in her
arms and held her up in front of the
picture of The Passion-FlCwer."
! See, BASIL" she cried-"little Leah
will be the very image Of her aunt
Sir Basil crossed over tc his wife.
: she will resemble her." he said,
quietly; but / hope baby's face will
not have the shadow of melancholy
that lies on this one"
Il hope not" returned Hettie.
Leah always had that look, even
when her face was most radiant It
was there. Oh, Basil, how young and
beautiful she was to die!"
Il often wonder" said Sir Basil,
what would have happened had she
lived, Hettie. / never like to think
that our happiness-and We are
happy, sweet welcomes from
Leah's death"
Hettie locked at him thoughtfully.
1T is not so, Basil" she said. If
Leah had lived, you would have mar
riel her, but she never would have
been happy. / think she wanted
something more than one finds in this
world. Her nature was noble and
lofty: | do not think any human love
would have satisfied her. Do you re-
member the restless longing on her
beauteOus face? Sect is there,
even in this picture. She would never
have been happy"
Perhaps not" allowed Sir Basil,
thinking of the broken wedGing-ring
and the letter over which she had died
perhaps not, Hettie. l think you
are right" he said, as they moved
slowly away from the beautiful, pas
sionate face.
That was how they judged her.
The End.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1903-07-13

sir Arthur and Sir Basil. Fast as
steam could carry them, they went TO
Mentone, and found the terrible news
true that Leah was dead.
All the calm, imperial beauty OF
her youth came back to her as she
lay sleeping after her long fever and
pain. There was no pain on the
beautiful face; the thick, dark eye
lashes lay like fringe on the white
cheeks; there was a strange beauty
on the marble brow; and the proud
curves of the perfect lips were set in
a smile. The duchess had covered
the couch on which she lay with
lovely white blossoms; and so Sir
Basil, who had parted from her on
board the steamer, saw her again.
He kissed the pale lips that had MUIR
INJURED so many loving words to him,
weeping like a child, and regretting
that he had not loved her more.
The duchess gave him the letter
and the ring. He received them in
silence. What had he to say?
But that night, when all was still,
ne crept back TO the room, and laid
the two halves of the broken wedding
ring on the cold, white breast. No
one else should ever wear it; it was
buried with her.
Early the next morning he went out
and procured some scarlet passion
flowers. Sir Arthur liked him all the
better because he cried like a child
when he placed them in the dead,
white hands. One could have fancied
that a smile passed over the dead
face. Her secret was safe for ever
now, and no one knew why she had
died. No suspicion of the truth came
TO any one of them.
So they mourned her, and no sting
of bitter memories increased their
pain. Hettie and the general learned
to love each other in the midst OF
their trouble more than they would
ever have done in prosperity. They
mourned long and sincerely for Leah.
The general for a long time was quite
unlike himself-he seemed unable to
recover from the blow; and there
were times when every one thought
that Hettie must follow her sister.
There was a great outburst of sor-
row in England when the papers told
that Leah, the beloved niece of Gen.
eral Sir Arthur Hatton, had died sud-
denly at Mentone, of heart-disease.
English visitors go now to see her
grave; none leave it without tears.
They tell each other how soon she
was to have been married to some one
whom she loved dearly, and how she
writing to her lover when the sum-
mons came. Leah's grave is the most
beautiful in the cemetery. A tall,
white marble cross bears her name,
and masses of superb scarlet passion
flowers creep up it and overhang the
grave.
