A FEW weeks later, and "Lawn Cottage" was the scene of an event which made the hearts of its inmates glad even to tears.

That event was the marriage of Fanny.

From the time of her betrothment to Mr.
Willet, a new life seemed born in her spirit and a new beauty stamped upon her countenance.

All around her was diffused the heart's warm sunshine.

As if from a long, bewildering, painful dream, she had awakened to find the morning breaking in serene beauty, and loving arms gathered protectingly around her.
