of mercy dealt out to you that you have
meted out to others!" replied Lester, sternly.

Suddenly Kendale wrenched himself free from his grasp, crying out,
hoarsely and triumphantly:

"I am game yet. I have married the girl you love. She is my lawfully
wedded wife. I have lost the Marsh millions, but you are checkmated,
Lester Armstrong. I have the Fairfax fortune, and your Faynie!"

"Don't delude yourself into believing so prettily an arranged scheme,"
exclaimed a voice from the doorway, and a woman whom Kendale had not
noticed among the crowd before glided hastily forward, threw back her
veil, confronting the villain.

"Gertrude!" he cried aghast, staggering back.

"Yes, Gertrude, your wife," she replied. "Your wife, though you tried
hard to induce me to go to Dakota and secure a divorce from you. I had
instituted it and would soon have obtained it had I not read in the
papers of the great fortune you had fallen into, for you had told me
your cousin Lester Armstrong was dead, and you were to take his name and
place as assistant cashier--no one knowing of his death, and you could
easily pass yourself off for him owing to your wonderful resemblance to
each other.

"For my sake," she added, "Mr. Armstrong has promised to let you go
free, providing you go with me."

"It is false!" shouted Kendale. "All you say is a lie, woman!"

"The man who accompanied us to the altar a year ago is here," he said.
"He has with him my marriage certificate," pointing toward some one on
the threshold, adding, "come forward, please."

And Halloran, who had left a sickbed to accompany her, came slowly
forward.

"So you are against me, too!" cried Kendale. "Then all is up, indeed. I
acknowledge that all that has been said is true. I had a few weeks of a
gay, merry life, and I'm not sorry, either. Come, Gertrude!"

And without a backward glance they slowly left the Fairfax mansion.

The reuniting of Faynie and her lover was extremely affecting, and
within an hour a minister was called in who made them one forevermore.

Mrs. Fairfax and her daughter were offered a home for life, but they
chose to leave the following day. Faynie and Lester had gone through
many thrilling experiences, but were happily reunited--at last.

THE END.
