owledge, of his former social standing,
of his many gifts and accomplishments. It was he who one day proposed
that Hubert should go back to the name of Lepel--the name by which he
had been known in the literary and dramatic world, and by which he would
perhaps be remembered long after "the Beechfield tragedy" was forgotten.
But Hubert refused. He was too proud of the new name that he had won, he
said, ever to give it up. As for literature, he had no inclination for
it now. In this new home, in a new world, with father, wife, and boys
beside him, and a political career which opened out a future such as he
had never dreamed of when he was writing his plays and poems in Russell
Square--a future made easy to him by Westwood's position and character
in the States, and also by the large fortune which Miss Vane had left
him unconditionally on her death--he had no wish to change his lot in
life. Out of evil had come good; but only through repentance and the
valley of humiliation, without which he would indeed have gone wearily
and sadly to an end without honor and without peace. But he had won a
great victory; and he was not without his great reward.

THE END.
