after her death was Inconsolable.
Life for me was afm1ess; 80 cared not
what became of me. Then Mrs. Never
gail came with her sisterly advice and
consultations, and In her pious efforts !
again regained nay outward composure.
MRS. Nevereail, with the consent Of
her good husband, then offered b cake
charge Of my infant child, saying that
perhaps at present / might net desire to
announce my marriage, or her existence,
to my proud and stern father.
AFTER giving the matter consideration
I consented to their plan, and made up
this package at that time, to be kept un-
til this birthday. charged them to keep
my secret Sacredly, and to give my little
one their own name and bring her up
In every respect az they would had she
been actually their own.
II informed them that On this birth
day she might be told this Story, but un-

main with them. II at this date my
father still lived, i should settle upon
her a suitable allowance, and perhaps
visit her occasionally In New York with
out his knowledge.
"One year ago he died; and at ence
wrote to Mrs. Nevergail the fact, and
told her that / had now inherited the
dukedom, and should consider myself free
to recall my child.
"She Instantly answered to the address

that she was a widow, very near her end,
and begged me to leave Ethel with her
until she should pass away, or until, at
any rate, the fifth Of October. She tSld
me she should sail for England very soon,
taking Dthel with her, and said that l

hear Of my kind friends death, and the
astounding news that my sweet daughter
was even then an inmate Of Castle Cairn.
"Gladly repaired hither to meet at

happy duchess. II have been lonely, in

upon her still handsome cheeks.
When In the morning DR.. GlenNenning
called and was ted the news that the
poor governess was no other than Lady
~ L.
ter Of the Duke Of Westmoreland, his
heart sank within aim, and he could emily
whisper In trembling tones:
"Will thiB noble relationship cause you
to regret our engagement Oh, Dthea,
Ethel, will this part us2"
"NeveT!' was the glad reply. MY
father knows too well the value Of a true
love, and he surely will not refuse his
consent to our union. If he does, am
Of age, and have promised that nothing
shall stand in the way of our marriage. "
Nothing did separate them. The Duke
was much pleased with DR.. Glenden-
| ning's manly demeanor, and when he tim
idly asked for his daughters hand he
smiled brightly and gave his consent.
So Lady Ethel Worthington married
DR.. Earle Difenstein Glendennin9, amid
great rejoicings and vast displays of
wealth, beauty and fashion, after which
the 'Sbonnie" bride was welcomed gladly
| to the remOdeled and greatly improved
hall, a place that still bore 20 strange q
history.
Sir Fitzroy lived nearly two years af.
ter the marriage Of his son, and these
years were unclouded by a single sorrow
He loved his children fondly, and was
greatly beloved by them In return. he
died at last quite suddenly, and was laid
to rest beside his brother Arthur in the
family vault
Sir Earle ElfensteiR GlendennIng, M
D., and his beautiful wife, Lady Ethel
were ever regarded with true affection
by all their neigh bors and tenants; and
when, at last, the duke, after his moth.
er's death, did, in his loneliness, love and
wed a second time, a lady of rank, the
Countess Teresa Lowell, they found III
the new duchess a rare addition to theiI
circle of dear ones, and the most happy
intercourse ever existed between the two
families.
Poor Constance Glendenning, In losina
husband, title and wealth, became a mel
ancholy invalid. The fate of her formel
lover, whom she dearly loved, was SO I'M
pressed upon her heart and Imagination
that after she heard 1t in all its hideous
ness the very name Of her husband in
her presence brought on nervous trem
blingS to such an extent that the subject
had to be banished entirely from hel
hearing.
The horrible exposure of her husbands
sin produced at length another revuldOr
of feeling, and with deep remorse hel
heart returned to her early love, cling
ing ever to his memory, only to shed tear
over his sorrowful fate and devotion b
herself, tears of unavaihng regret.
So she had lived and 80 at last Shs
died. just two years after she left dh(
hall she breathed her sad life away, ani
her last words were:
Arthur, Arthur, nay only love, csms
to thee now, Hevermore to be parted"
