e best. Never mind me."

"But you?" sobbed Jessie. "I--I will accept my freedom only on one
condition, Jack; and that is, that you ask Dorothy to fill my
place--aye, to take her own old place again in your heart and life!"

"Not now," he said; "but perhaps I may speak to her some time in the
future."

And he must have spoken to her, for three weeks later there was a double
wedding at the Garner mansion; and there never were two more beautiful
brides than Jessie and Dorothy, nor two happier young husbands than
Harry Kendal and Jack Garner; and Jack never ceased blessing the fates
that gave to him for his bride, after all his trials, pretty Madcap
Dorothy. But, then, the course of true love never did ran smooth.

THE END.
