l.oyd may consider yourself dismissed
and I'oi you Ocorgo never enter no
Iioum- again." With that lie left the
room. Secretly George was glad be-
cause he knew Grace wouhl look to
him for support; that would he a good
chance to marry her. He also knew
that he i-oiihl make up with his lath-
er in a dinrt time.
Two davs later as (irace was stmt-
in? to leave George told the chauffeur
to take them to the Golden Man-
sion. Then he jumped into the eat
unasked liy (irace and they were oil
(irace had no idea where they were
going and George would not tell her.
About four hours later the car stop-
pod at the Golden .Mansion. This was
a large hou-e encircled by a tall iron
fence. This place was kept liy two
old people. Forme' ly it was a garri-
mii. That fact accounted for the
high iron fence around the yard. Hil-
ling the long ride from the city
Glare had linally consented to marry
George. She wondered why they had
stopped here. Her mind was in a
whiil she knew not what to do.
George led her into the yard up the
walk to the house. There the old
couple and a minister met them. In
a few minutes the cerenionv was over
and she was Mrs. Hill. She had
dreamed of her wedding day hut
never one like this. Why had George
taken hor out heie to many? Where
would they go'.' When she asked him
he said "N'ow little girl you will
stay here for a while with thes(. old
people. They will treat you light. I
will he back soon.'1
lie came back in a week Mayed
two ilay.s and left again. This con-
tinued for a month. As Grace walk-
ed about the vaid she wondered why
he was cooped up in this yard. The
gate was always locked and the old
people never let her get out of thei
.-ight. They knew better because
George was paying them too well.
One day as she was silting in tin
yard sewing a man came to the iron
fence whistled to Grace and motion
ed for her to come to him. She did
m and recognized him as l'eters oik
of the servants of Walter Hill. He
began to talk. He told her all about
Geoige hiihing him to keep her let-
ters out. He told of how he hated t
do thio and linally decided to loll
her all. With thi.- he handed her a
hundlii of opened letters. "How en- u
these open'.'" asked Grace examining
and recognizing the letteis to hi
those of James.
"He did it" replied Peters n c: n
ing George. "I stold them from him
and brought them to you." "Peters"
said (irace "I am veiy thankful t
you and would reward you if 1 line'
any thing hut George never give iw
money.
"No matter no matter" leplied
IV to r.-.. "Good-bye" and he walked
away.
A month later James llyrd .stepped
from the train onto the elation plat-
! form of Atlanta. There waiting foi
him was Grace l.oyd his sweetheart.
She ruhed into his arms sobbing
and said "James dear since George
was sent to prison for breaking into
your mail a divorce has been granted
me and I am free to mairy the one
I love."
