I didn't expect this from you," said Brandon. "I thought you would triumph over me." "If I did I should show myself unworthy of the good fortune that has come to me. I wish you good luck." That was the last Dean has seen of Brandon. Let us hope that he will deserve good luck, and attain it. Adin Dunham still lives, happy in the companionship of his good wife, and the prosperity of his nephew. But there is one thing that puzzles him. He has never been able to solve THE WATERFORD MYSTERY.
