" Herbert," said Gertrude, softly, to
the groom, " that is a new grave; it has
been made while I was gone. Who

"It b. the handsome, dark lady—the
one who visited you so much here, my
lady—Nliss Hyde. You know she was
killed in an accident not far from Red.
moss Well, after she was dead they
found a paper shut in her hand. It was
a queer bit of writing, addressed. to no
one. The woman at the cottage where
she died road it and told every one
'what was on it."
"Do you remember what was on it,
Herbert ?"
Ob, yes, Thy lady. It read like a
story in a romance book. It said: , Do
not take my body home; 1 want to be
buried at Nath, under the cypress near
the vault, with a red rose tree on my
grave ; and there you cannot help but
see my grave, and you will think of roe

asked if it should be as she wished, and
the motor said ' Yes,' We have won-

They drove on. Gertrude sighed, and
said to Justine:
", She was once my dearest friend, I

bitter, .08 of death was past when I re-
alized that sho was false."
The tenantry dinner came and was
ended, and the heir of Caatlemaine was
known and recoguized in all the county.
To Gertrude the future of her child was
an all -absorbing thought. This was the
theme of nearly all her talk with her
husband.

It was to Justine that Gertrude spoke
