Southern Railway, came to Charleston
to speak to the St. Andrews Society
more than a month ago. he said that his
system would give to the people of South
Carolina the same passenger rates that
would be given TO other States in the
South. and he has kept his promise. he
always keeps his promises, and by his
most excellent service in bringing the
people and the railroads together he has
done much to remove the unfortunate
misunderstanding that have grown up
between the corporations and the public.

CHAPTER IT.

It was just two months after Lettice
Hamilton's wedding day, and she sat
clone Il her own room; not the little
slip she had occupied at Elchester house,
but one of the most aumptuous apart
ments of Aspendale castle.
DR.. Bateson's faint hope of Sir Rich
ards recovery had proved groundless,
and the young baronet died the very
day after his strange wedding.
1t was not of her dead husband the
girl was thinking on this fair after.
noon. Lettice knew that Dick had died
happy in the fulfllment of his last
wish. 1t was of herself and her own
future that poor Lettice was thinking in
the summer sunshine. Lady Ashgrove
had brought her three daughters down
to Asrendale Castle very soon after
poor Dicks funeral. She had given Lei
tice a suite of rooms in retired wing
of the great house, telling her that she
"must live in strict retirement for the
present." that point settled, her lady
ship proceeded to pay off her most
pressing debts out of the very liberal
quarters allowance received from the
estate, and then, having duly appeared
at church with Beryl and Mavis, she
SAL uOWH tdlHlly anu awaited Lle Calls
of the county"
Sir Richard Hamiton's will, drawn up
in hot haste, had necessarily been short
and informal. 1t left Lcttiee AspendaIe
and its revenue of ten thousand a year
for her life or her widowhood, and it
gave her poor Dicks personal property
absolutely; but it directed that until
she came of age she was poweriess to
dispose of this last, and irdeed for the
time that remained of her mir nrity only
five thousand year was to be spent on
keeping up the castle. SO long as Lady
pehgrove resided there with her daugh-
ter this sum was to be paid to her, and
she was to undertake the general man
agemtnt of things
Mr.. Carter, the lawyer, had thought
this clause spared the girl-widow from
becoming prey to any adventurer and
also saved her from the blunders she
might make in her expenses. but he
little knew Lady Ashgroee No sooner
was she established at the castle than
all her former anger at Lettiee for hav-
ing supplanted her fayorite. Beryl, re-
turned in full force; indeed, poor Let
tice was treated by her mother and
cider sister almost like a criminal.

Carter, the lawyer, had toiled like a
Trojan at the settlements and Sir
Richards will The latter was the
Hamilton family lawyer, and a most
conscientious man of business, and he
saw at once that though medical sci
enee decreed that Sir Richard would die
the day after his wedding, yet his wife's
interests must be as carefully secured
as though he expected many years OF
life.
The special license was procured, and
Mr.. Garnet, rector of Aspendale. came
up to marry his dying patron, who was
also his old schoolfellow and lifelong
| friend
! As to Lettuce, she had cried so long
and so bitterly that she looked worn
out; but on one point the little bride
stood Tirm-she would have no satin
wedding gown, no wreath of orange bios
SONS, and she dressed herself without
help from any one, putting on a sum
| mer muslin, white ground with sprigs
of pale forget me nots. She had bunch
of white rosehuds at her throat, that
was all-no veil, no bouquet, nothing TO
mark the fact that it was her wedding
| day.
| DR.. Bateson, who had a strange pity
for the timid girl, led her himself into
| the sick room. Sir Richard did not
look terrible, for the injuries had spared
his face and hands; little paler, much
| thinner, and with an almost unearthly
brightness in his dark eyes, he looked
very i'll, but not like ones ideas of a
dying man.
| He took Lettiee's hand and carried it
feebly to his lips; then he whispered in
his weak, faltering voice
you are sure you are willingg" And
she bowed her head.
| DIR. Bateson and Lady Ashgrove were
the only witnesses, for the two nurses
| had retired to the next room. The rec
! tor read the solemn service in a clear,
distinct voice, and the brides replies
were perfectly audible; she did not fall
ter once, she never shed a tear, while
the bridegroom's eyes rested on her with
such passion of love and tenderness
shining in their depths as must have
convinced every one that this deathbed
marriage was no sudden fancy, but the
fulfilling of long cherished hope. Aft
ed the last words of the service Mr..
Garnet produced a paper, which he
placed in front of Sir Richard. who
signed it slowly and toilsomely; then
the rector and DR.. Bateson affixed their
names as witnesses, and filed slowly out
of the room, while Lady Ashgreve, with
one glance at her child, followed them,
leaving the bride alone with her dying
husband.
