In u secluded part of the cemetery
that afternoon Richard Challoner
stood alone beside a grave which was
marked by a granite headstone bear
ing the name of his father. So occu-
pied was he with his own gloomy
thoughts that he did not notice the
timid, hesitating approach of Dorothy
Brant until she was within few feet
of him. He Strengthened up then. and
greeted her with a solemn, courtly
bow. while his cheek flushed. The girl
was very pale, and her eyes were red
with weeping. She carried an armful
of roses, which she silently and rev.
erently deposited on the dead confed-
crates grave. Then. facing the man
opposite with a look OF plying appeal.
she took from her bosom a letter and
handed it across to him.
Read this, Richard" she said, in a
frightened, quivering voice. 1T was
written by your father to my mother

will help you to understand. This is
my last request. Richard"
He said no more. but took the let
ter from its time-worn envelope and
read:
Mrs. Levison Brant--Dear Madam: It
pains me to learn that your husbands
supposed responsibility for my condition
has almost prostrated you. Pray do not
worry on that score. I assure you from
my inmost soul that ! not only forgive
your husband. but I have already begged
his forgiveness for forcing him to commit
an act which he so deeply deplores. The
fault was entirely my own. and ! alone
am the one who should suffer. Believe
me. I am profoundly sorry for what hap
pened. and II Is not sorrow that Is in
fiuenced by selfish considerations. or the
fear of death. Since l have been in this
hospital Col Brant has become my most
valued and best-beioved friend. What he
has done for me can never be told. but
he has made me realize that there are
true gentlemen at the north as well as In
the south. and that he is one Of the
noblest men in the world. i thank you.
dear madam. for giving me this oppor-
tunity to say that. far from feeling
resentment. / entertain only sentiments
of warmest friendship and gratitude to-
ward your husband. Sincerely yours.
WILLIAM CHALLONER.
The color came and went in the
young mans face as he read. and the
light in his eyes softened to a tender
glow. Finishing. he crumpled the let
ter convulsively in his hand. and
came round the headstone of the
grave at a half,dozen quick strides.
Dorothy" he cried. selling her
hand, this is a glorious revelation to
me. Let us hunt up your father at
once. / will go down on my knees to
him IL you like. With you for a wife
and Col Brant for a father-in-law

Col Brant had come down to Pop

to deliver the Memorial day address

And SO 1t came about that Richard
Challoner. the fortunate suitor for
Dorothy's hand. called at the home

introduced to Col. Brant. He was in
deed a handsome and dignified young
man. whose frank geniality and
courtly manners had already made n
stanch ally OF Aunt Mary and at once
made an agreeable impression on the
yer OF unimpeachable Virginia stock,
who had recently established himself
in Poplarville for the practice OF his
profession and had bounded at once
into popular favor.
In the course of the evening Col.
Brant and young Challoner retired to
the library on the second floor of the
house to indulge in a quiet smoke and
a private interview. Here Challoner
broached the subject Of his love for
Dorothy. and soon gained the consent
