re of his family, and educate his daughter. At first she
refused, but afterwards went and behaved so well, and was so kind and
tender, that Sir Charles would not permit her to leave the house, and
soon after made her an offer of marriage.

The neighbors came in crowds to the wedding, and all were glad that one
who had been such a good girl, and had grown up such a good woman, was
to become a grand lady.

Just as the clergyman had opened his book, a gentleman, richly dressed,
ran into the church and cried, "Stop! stop!"

Sir Charles stood motionless with surprise, and the bride fainted away
in the stranger's arms. For this richly-dressed gentleman turned out to

a large fortune.

Sir Charles and Lady Jones lived very happily together, and the great

had always been. She was also kind and good to the poor, and the sick,
and a friend to all who were in distress. Her life was a great blessing,
and her death the greatest calamity that ever took place in the
neighborhood where she lived, and was known as
