"Yes, dear," she wrote. "I can come to you now, if you will have me. May I spend Christmas with you and your little ones? For 1 can look upon your happiness in no grudging spirit. Nay, I long to share in your joys." And Rebekah returned to Eng- land once more. In placid contentment she and e nouiced her journey to Wolver- holme Castle. A heavy fall of snow had taken place, and she was obliged to go by train. Upon the platfo.m of the station' Lord and Lady Wolverholnre await- ed her arrival with impatience. As she stepped from the carriage Ethel ran forward impetuously and embraced her. "Welcome, dear. Thrice wel- come," she whispered tenderly. And Rebekah once more met the man she had loved so devotedly. Her oyes calmly met his, and she smiled with sincere happiness when he grasped her hand. The children were gathered in tho hall, for they were eager to see the aunt of whom they had heard so much. But she turned instinctively to the detest son, her godchild, and as she scanned his face, she could trace there the delicate outline of his father's features. She took him in her arms and kissed him tenderly. She looked at Cyril with eyes that shone with puce and conte:itinent, for she had fought the good fight, and victory had crowned her. THE END. CHAPTER XXVI. The engagement of the Earl of Wolverholine to Ethel Fetherston was not publicly announced for some months; for they both felt that out of respect for Rebekah, they could pursue no other course but keep it secret. But they were unable to consult her, for the morning after their in- kervicw•, she and her father had gone abroad, without communica- tion with thein. Rebekah's pur- pose accomplished she felt that she would be miserable if she remained. So she determined to seek forget- fulness in change of scene. Joel was always with her, and watched her anxiously but never broke the silence on which Rebekah had in- sisted, for she determined as far as possible to kticp her wind from dwelling upon the roan she loved. They were in Paris, and having dejeuner in one of the big restau- rants on t' o Grands Boulevards. Joel was glancing at a paper, and he suddenly uttered an exclama- tion of surprise, but Rebekah quiet- ly took the paper from his hand. She read an announcement to the effect that a marriage had been ar- ranged between tho Earl of Wol- verholme and Miss Fotherston. Her father looked at her keenly, but her mind was prepared for it, and she gave no sign that it caused her pain. "I hope they will bo very happy," she said simply. They were staying at the Hotel Ritz, and that evening Joel was seated alone in the lounge. He was busy with his thoughts when ho noticed that a man was eyeing him keenly. Ho looked up quickly, and saw that it was Ackroyd. Tho sight of him was disagreeable in the extreme, for it brought back such unpleasant memories. Ackroyd rose from his chair, and took a seat near Joel. "You don't remember," ho said with an ease of manner that was obviously forced. "Perfectly," Joel replied coldly. "Have you seen the paper this morning?" he continued coolly. "It contains Rom0 news that ought to interest you." "Indeed!" "Yes. Lord 1Volvcrholmo is en- gaged to a Miss Ethel Fetherston," Ackroyd said with a smile that was intended to annoy. "I was aware of that several months ago," Joel replied frigidly. But .Ackroyd was not the man to be rebuffed; and he quits) made up his third that Joel should afford "Wrong. The sum was twenty- five thousand," Joelcorroctcd him. "But really, 1 have no wish for your company, Mr. Ackroyd. %%'ill you go. or shall I?" "It is you that are wrong. You forget the five thousand your daughter paid tete. "What five thousand" asked Joel; for Rebekah had never con- fided in her father that she had paid this sum to Ackroyd. Joel had thought that he had thorough• frightened him at the iuterview, but had had the curiosity to make inquiries, and had ascertained that the copper shares had risen, and that Ackroyd had evidently sold out at a handsome profit. "Did you not know that your daughter had given hie five thou- sand pounds for tho photographs of the letters t That litt`e sum tid- ed me over my difficulties, and thanks to her, I am in a position of comfort, for I have safely invest- ed my money in gilt-edged securi- ties," Ackroyd wound up trium- phantly. "Very wise, I'm sure, but it doesn't interest me in the least. Good evening, sir." "But I am very interested. Why didn't you bring the marriage off i You played a daring game, and you have my sincere admiration. There was not much to choose be- tween us. We acted like a pair of blackguards." Joel made an impatient move- ment. "What was its Did your consci- ence prick you, and were you moved to repentance? If so, I shall bo bitterly disappointed, for I thought better things of you." "Go to the devil," Joel said rude- ly, but Ackroyd only smiled. But the smile left his face when he saw Rebekah approaching them. Joel rose and Ackroyd followed his example. "Come, father," Rebekah said, and as she spoke she recognized Ackroyd. A flush rose to her checks but her eyes did not waver as she coldly regarded him. Ile bowed profoundly, but she took no no- tice, for she slipped her arni through that of her father and led him away. Her silent contempt stung Ack- royd to the quick, and he laughed harshly. It was but a few months after the announcement of tho engagement that the marriage of Cyril to Ethel took place. They had wished the ceremony to be a quint ono, and it was so decided, for Cyril had him a little amusement. He had , made up his mind to prictise sovere hen bitter a recollection of his economy until his finances were fruitless journey to Leighton Man- ( once more in good order. - or, sed tho scornful way in which! The passage 01 time had made he had been treated. Surely ho their happiness complete. The troubles that they had gone through were buried in the past, and they both looked with confident joy to the future. Their one great regret was in Rebekah's absence, and Ethel wrote her a letter of ap- peal to be present at the wedding, that she bad done so much to bring about. Her reply was a inagnifi cent rivicre of diamonds for Ethel (.loel, too, sent Cyril a present), but she made no mention of their invitation. Ethel understood, and her heart went out to her in sympathy. leho remembered all that she had dune for them, and longed that time might bring her peace and content- ment. Their life was a hull one, for Cyril took seriously tete responsi- bilities of his position. He quickly entered into public life, and his name came prominently before the public. And then carne the seal of their joy, the birth of a son and heir.

Every now and then they had to put ashore to find fresh water and to snatch a few winks of sleep, and I can answer for it that putting ashore here is no easy matter, for there are many miles of coast -line along which it is almost impossible to find a place for landing in a strong wind. These men doggedly hold on their course, crossing two large bays, Franklin Bay and Liverpool Bay, until at last they reached the Mac- kenzie Delta, and keeping well to seaward of this, they arrived in a storm which prevented ships from putting W sea.
