oceeded, the singular expression we had noted seemed to become every
moment more marked and intense. When the voice had reached the burden
of the melody, a strange exclamation escaped her lips; and, springing to
her feet, she stood gazing wildly in the face of the singer. Only for a
moment. The next moment she cried in loud, passionate accents, "Mamma!
mamma!" and fell forward upon the bosom of her mother!

Seguin spoke truly when he said, "Perhaps in God's mercy she may yet
remember." She had remembered--not only her mother, but in a short time
she remembered him. The chords of memory had been touched, its gates
thrown open. She remembered the history of her childhood. She
remembered all!

I will not essay to describe the scene that followed. I will not
attempt to picture the expression of the actors; to speak of their
joyous exclamations, mingled with sobs and tears; but they were tears of
joy.

All of us were happy--happy to exultation; but for Seguin himself, I
knew it was the hour of his life.

C THE END.
