So thuy wandered ovnr .‘ltircpe. and Anthony did his best to warm this luvcly statue into life, and rpanimate the dead heart with a new love. It was all in vain. Then the home ,curney was made, and they came back to England. and soon were reestablished at Thrift. He lmnw that-he had not won Estelle.

But Cbcrllc would have none of her cymplathy ; and Mrs. Clanriccrde. with a Frcnc her shoulders, left him to his fate and called him impayable. One sultry summer's day a letter came to Charlie Osborne-an anonymous letter. in the well-known handwriting, but with a difierent poet-mark. Hitherto all these letters had been cted in London; but this was stamped horbergh. It contained money and these words : “ Come to Thurber-3h. You are badly wanted. Your old nurse.

But nol the handwriting was familiar. it wac ocu- radic supplies. and these were not connected with her. No. It was not Estelle who had summoned him, and not Mary Crosby.
