Patty could not bear the look of triumph Cousin Tabby turned on her face. She rushed from the house, and returned thenceforth to the poverty and obscurity from which she had temporarily emerged.
Dan Ellis was rewarded according to his service, and had the way paved for him to return in safety to his beloved native State.
Eva’s marriage, that same night, was celebrated with as much éclat as if she had married Reginald Hamilton, and she went forth next day on her wedding journey with her adored and adoring husband, on a bridal tour that was but the beginning of a lifetime of unalloyed happiness.
Her honor was vindicated, justice had triumphed, life was all sunshine.
It was a bitter blow to Reginald Hamilton, but time brought healing on its wings. As Ada continued for some time his stepmother’s guest, his sincere admiration for her beauty and charm merged into the deeper feeling of love, and when Eva returned with her husband, six months later, she had hastened her coming to be a guest at Reggie’s and Ada’s wedding!
