With a cry of joy Lady Tracy was by Honor's side.

How I have prayed for this!' she said; and as she sat, holding a hand of each, they told her all that had happened.

What have I more to say?

The Australian party were gladdened on their arrival in their new home by the letters sent overland telling them of Charlie's vindication. They all liked Australia.

The voyage did Newton good, and neither he nor his mother ever regretted having left England.

Conny is happier in her second marriage than she was in her first.

Mr. Goodenough cannot make too much of his beautiful wife, who is still considered the belle of the colony, and he is never tired of spending money on her, and giving it to her

relations.

Phil prospers, and has laid the foundation of a new house of Blake, in a new Kildaggan, wealthier, and we will hope wiser, than the old. Charlie came to England some years since to see his sister.

That lesson at Bayonne has lasted his life

time. He has grown up an honourable, truthful man.

He entered the merchant navy, and now commands a ship belonging to his wealthy brother-in-law, in which, thanks to that relative's generosity, he has a share.

Honor is rich in friends now, but not one of those she loved in the old days is forgotten.

Lady Tracy is a living refutation of all slanders on mothers-in-law.

Her son's wife is the light of her eyes, and Honor feels she never knew a real mother's love before.

But on the other hand, Lady Tracy, I must confess, vindicates her womanhood by being an entirely traditional grandmother She spoils Tom's children to that extent !

That urchin Blake has just upset my inkbottle, and brought my tale to an abrupt close! I know his grandmother won't let him be whipped for it.
