It contained more than a picture, although there was a picture of a handsome, boyish face that somehow had to Grace a familiar look.

A slip of folded paper, a plain gold ring, and a tress of brown, curly hair dropped out.

Grace opened the little slip of paper, and read it with an utterly confounded face.

It was partly written and partly printed, and was the marriage certificate of Agnes Grant and Henry Darling.

It bore date New York, two years before.
Grace dropped the paper astounded.
