ng him out to a fresh battle! And
all these years you have treasured him in your faithful heart, and
waited for his return; and he has waited too, Betty, and worked hard--
worked for you with the thought of you before him! And now that he can
repay his debts and look the world in the face once more, he comes to
you for his reward. Betty, Betty, a man may have more names than one--
is my face quite strange to you? Have you never seen it before--in a
half light like this, lit by a flickering flame? Betty, _look_! What
do you see?"

She gave a little gasp of incredulity--rapture--relief, and held out her
hands towards him.

"Ralph, Ralph! It is you--you have come home!"

So the long dream was fulfilled, and the fairy prince threw off his
disguise, and showed himself in the shape of the struggler who had
bravely redeemed a past offence. In loving one, she could love both.
Past and present united in bestowing a perfect happiness. Betty held
Ralph's hands in her own, and looked deep into his eyes.

THE END.
