ears were
shed over her mortal remains. It was all over now, and the troubled
heart had found peace, and that pure joy which "floweth like a river."

In the little cemetery at Waveland there is one carefully-tended spot,
that is the shrine at which a little group of sable-clad mourners meet,
to mingle their tears and prayers together. Two of them are elderly
women, who greet each other as "Alicia" and "Ulrica," and the others, a
grave-faced man, leading by the hand a young, delicate-looking girl, are
Ruth, and her guardian, Wilfred Vaughn.

The marble slab before which they kneel, bears this upon its pure
surface: "Clemence Graystone, aged 21 years." And underneath, the simple
but expressive words, "At rest."

THE END.
