Judge Wyverne entered the great
cheer y sitting room, an elderly man
with a noble face—a face in which
one would involuntarily trust.
He came straight up to where
Mrs. Thompson sat, his faco very
pale and weary looking.
“Mrs. Thompson,” he began at
once, “I regret, to leave your hos¬
pitable homo, but my business here
is ended—my’ search over. I came
hero >n behalf of a client of mine—
a warm pcisona! friend—a wealthy
banker, who lost his only child
when but a baba. For years he has
mourned her as lost, but accident
tarred his attention in this direc¬
tion, and ho fancied that ho had
f ound a clew to his lost child. In
vain his friends, looking upon the
live old man’s belief that his child
was here as a hallucination, en¬
deavored to convince him of the
truth. He would not listen- so at
length he induced my son Cecil and
myself to come to this place in
search of tho child. Cecil has been
in the nearest village, following vu*
an imaginary trail, and I have re*
mained here; but now he has writ¬
ten me that there is no hope of suc¬
cess, and, I too, am ready to give
up. lie will join mo here shortly,
and then wo must return to our
home/’
The widow, quite folgetling Hes¬
ter’s presence, drew nearer the
judge. Ho was a fine-looking old
gentleman, with iron-gray’ hair and
beard, and piercing oyer.
“But surely you will not leave
me?’’ she cried. “I—I have become
so accustomed to you now, Judge
VYyverne. and rc’lly I thought—I
did aetooiy begin to-”
But. what sho thought will never
be known. At that moment there
was the sound ot horse’s hoofs, an
a horse and phaeton came dashing i
down the stony country road which
