“Let us try and put all this out of our minds,” said Miss Allyn,
suddenly. “To-morrow is Dollie’s wedding-day, and we must all be happy!
I move that we have a song—something rousing and jolly!”
“I second the motion!” cried Bert Jackson, gayly, as with a great show
of triumph he offered his arm to Marion.
“I score one,” he said joyfully, as he saw the doctor’s frown of
disappointment. “Got ahead of you that time ‘Sawbones,’ but you can
square it while I’m in Canada!”
“Oh, I never take advantage of an absent foe,” said the doctor,
laughing, and just then, with a great flourish, Bert opened the piano.
Dr. Brookes had never heard Marion sing, so when the first tones of
her magnificent voice fell upon his ear he almost held his breath in
surprise and admiration.
Bert Jackson winked at him behind her back, but there was a look on his
face that the doctor had never before seen there.
“By Jove!” he thought suddenly, “I believe the boy does love her! Well,
why shouldn’t he? Who could help it? She is the sweetest, the noblest,
the bravest girl in creation!”
Thus ended another tragedy in Marion Marlowe’s life—it was a happy
termination in spite of some sadness.
Dollie, her darling sister, was married to Ralph the next day, and even
Archie Ray and his sister were present at the wedding.
They left the next day for a trip through the South, but not until
after they had followed Mary Ray’s remains to Greenwood.
There was just one bit of news that distressed them all, and that was
that George Colebrook was free again and at liberty to commit such
villainies as pleased his base nature.
Lawyer Atherton was never seen nor heard from again, and of course his
offices were closed and his employees scattered.
Miss Allyn went on with her newspaper work, and was as loyal as ever to
her friends, and with a grateful heart Marion went back to the Island,
determined to face bravely any trials that might come to her. As for
Dr. Reginald Brookes, he was patient and hopeful. Even the prison
seemed a palace whenever Marion, the peerless, entered its portals.
THE END.
In No. 5 of My Queen, issued next week, Marion Marlowe appears as the
central character in a new field of action. The story is entitled
“Marion Marlowe Entrapped; or, The Victim of Professional Jealousy,”
and is a story of the most thrilling interest.
