BERNARD BELGRAVE, M.C., "Come to Waco at once.

If you fail to come you will make the mistake of your life.

Come.
"BELTON PIEDMONT." "Yes, I'll go," shouted Bernard, "anywhere, for anything." He seemed to feel grateful for something to divert his thoughts and call him away from the scene where his hopes had died.

He sent Viola's family a note truthfully stating that he was unequal to the task of attending Viola's funeral, and that for his part she was not dead and never should be.

The parents had read Bernard's letter left by Viola and knew the whole story.
