And the whole truth about Mother Felicitas Lady Erceldonne never knew.
There is no loyalty like that of religious women. Not a nun in the
convent ever opened her lips, not one but was helped on the narrow path
by the memory of the expiation of Mother Felicitas.
Salome, faithful still, worshiped Beryl’s child, which was named Andria.
And Andria?
At twenty-four no one can say their life is done.
Andria Erle took up hers and was living it, not a pensioner on Beryl’s
bounty, nor a nun in a convent.
On the boards of the Queen’s Theater she became an actress whom princes
were glad to applaud, whom great ladies visit. Men laid titles and
fortunes at her feet, but she remained Andria Erle; beautiful, gentle,
and a little unapproachable!
Time, instead of adding lines to her face, had smoothed the hardness
and bitterness from it.
But to no one had she ever spoken of Raimond Erle.
THE END.

Transcriber’s Notes
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
Table of contents has been added and placed into the public domain by
the transcriber.
The line: “‘Miss Holbeach; thank you!’ He just glanced at” was missing
from the book due to a typesetting error; the lost text was restored
from the original serial appearance in _Street & Smith’s New York
Weekly_, v. 54, no. 50 (September 30, 1899), page 1.
On page 214, the line “the words died on her tongue remembered how the
girl had mastered the jaguar” appears to be missing words. The original
serial installment for this chapter could not be located, and this is
reproduced here as printed in the book version.
