stripped. and he had withdrawn his
radiant face from my view.
Afterward I learned many things,
First. that they had been married very
early that morning. before the rest Of
US were up. in the little chapel at Wye,
with Mrs. Armistead, who was in the
secret, as witness. That explained her
delay in giving me the note. Dreading
my interference, they had not wished
me to know until the whole thing was
we'll over and Mrs. Armistead back
at Castle Wyckhon. Second, that 1t
had been the Honorable Agathas own
idea to play the part of secretary to
her aunt, thus improving upon her IA
theirs plan. and making 1t still more
difficult for the competing suitors to
discover her identity. Third, that her
reason for telling Vincent that Agatha
Sixth was the real Honorable Agatha
was only to prove him once more and
to the uttermost. And Vincent had
stood the trial without faltering and
had even proved himself equal to dis
regarding my wishes. Yet l really
think that on that night when he had
agreed with me that 1t was best to
give her up he meant to do So but
his love for the girl proved stronger
than his love for gold or his feeling
for his friend. And 1t was thus that
the boy won-because he had loved
truly and faithfully.
And l also learned efterward that
the six Agathas, shortly after the
elopement Of Vincent and the secre-
tary-that-was, had all gone to their
homes in America. Later some of them
married certain suitors who had once
been guests at Castle Wyckhoff. Among
these were Agatha First and young

Vincent and his bride took possession
OF Castle Wyckhoff as their country
seat when they came back from their
honeymoon. And there l often visited
them.
But on that eventful day when the
train had pulled out of the station
none OF these things was known to
me, and l stood on the platform dizzy
with the unexpected turn events had
taken.
And so 1t was that Vincent got
