When Jay Gardiner was able to travel, he and his mother and sister and
Bernardine went abroad; but, out of respect to poor Sally's memory, it
was a year before they took their places in the great world as--what
they had been from the first--husband and wife.
In the sunshine of the happy years that followed, Bernardine never
reproached her husband for that blotted page in their history which he
would have given so much to efface.
Sally's father and mother and sister grieved many a long year over her
death.
Antoinette stole quietly away, and was seen no more. Old Mrs. Gardiner
and Miss Margaret are as happy as the day is long in the love of Jay's
sweet, grave young wife, while her husband fairly adores her, though two
others share his love as the sunny days flit by--a sturdy youngster whom
they call Jay, and a dainty little maiden named Sally--named after Miss
Rogers, and whom that lady declares is to be her heiress--a jolly little
maiden, hoidenish and mischievous, strangely like that other one who
came so near wrecking her father's and mother's life.
The little girl has but one fear--she never goes near the brook; perhaps
its babbling waters could reveal a strange story--who can tell?
Over a grave on the sloping hill-side there is a marble shaft. The name
engraved upon it is Sally Gardiner, that the world may not know the
story of her who rests there.
The sun does not fall upon it, the shadow of the trees is so dense; but
soft and pityingly falls the dew on the hearts of the flowers that cover
the grave where Sally sleeps.
THE END.
