e a fair start when their guardians, Jack and Harry, fancy they are fitted to begin their battle with life. * * * * Old Jack--he is getting old now--lives with Emily not far from his son, and with them, of course, is Dick Harvey. Often on a fine day Old Jack will lead his grandchildren to the village churchyard, and while the youngsters deck poor old Mole's grave with flowers, will relate to them the best incidents of the old man's life. Not far from poor Mole's grave is another tomb, in which rest the earthly remains of Monday, Prince of Limbi, who had grown grey in the service of Mr. Harkaway. A much severer winter than usual laid the seeds of a complaint which speedily carried him off. Sunday, whose head is fast becoming white as snow, took his death much to heart, and even now frequently strolls into the quiet churchyard to indulge in pensive recollections of his old friend by the side of his grave--aye, and perchance to reflect on his own end, which he knows full well must be fast approaching. Monday had been thrifty, and when the days of mourning were over, his widow retired to Oxford to pass the remainder of her days with many good presents from Jack Harkaway, given in remembrance of his faithful servant Monday, the Prince of Limbi. * * * * Readers, our tale is told; and we leave Harkaway to the repose he has so well earned. But if you would prosper as he has done, be like him, truthful, brave, and generous. In bringing to a conclusion the long series of Harkaway stories, Mr. Edwin J. Brett cannot let the occasion pass without thanking the readers for the patience with which they have followed the hero's career, and the praise they have always bestowed upon the story or stories. To invent the plot and incidents has been a labour of love on the part of Mr. E. J. Brett, and it seems now like parting from old and intimate friends, to say adieu to all the characters whose lives have been the subject of the story. But there must be an end to all things, even to Harkaway. THE END.
