Six months later, in the lovely summer weather, Dundas and Miriam were
wandering through the gardens of the Manor House together--man and wife.
In the little church over yonder, fraught to Miriam with so many
memories, they had been married by the Reverend Augustine, now four
months ago. And even Mrs. Darrow, open enemy though she declared
herself, had not contrived to spoil their peace. Dicky, it is true, had
been permitted to attend the wedding of his Miss Crane, but Mrs. Darrow
herself had remained adamant, and stayed at home to nurse her rage and
show her great displeasure.
And with the glorious peace and rest which had now come into her life,
Miriam felt at last her night was over--the heavy shades had lifted, and
the dawn was brightening to a golden noon. Her faith in God was
justified to her even in this world.
Her husband turned, and asked her what he never tired of asking:
"Are you happy, Miriam?"
"Happy, dear? So happy!--happier than I have ever been or ever thought
to be!"

BY CURTIS YORKE,
_Author of "That Little Girl," "A Romance of Modern London," "The Wild
Ruthvens," etc., etc._
FOURTH EDITION.

Literature--
"A powerful book, as are all Curtis Yorke's novels."

maintains the reader's interest to the end."
Glasgow Herald--
"Charmingly written."
Dundee Advertiser--
"Clever and fascinating, as is everything by this writer."
Literary World--
"Decidedly pleasant reading, and calculated to further the
author's reputation as a bright and entertaining novelist."
