26 sigh. “Have you the grace in your heart to forgive me. now, Miss Marlowe?” Marion’s cheeks were pale, but her answer was as firm as ever. “T forgive you, Miss Leland, but oh, do try to be honest in future. Never again sully your soul with an act like that. Bea woman, Miss Leland. It is next to being an angel!” “And I can stay in your company,” whis- pered the girl, who was truly repentant. Marion shook her head. “T will do what I can,” she said, softly, “but Mr. Temple is the manager. [I shall not try to influence his good judgment. [I shall tell him the truth and ask him to be merciful. . This is all I can do in justice to my companions.” And Marion did ask Mr. Temple to be merciful in his judgment, but one look into her fair face decided the manager. “She may be sincere and she may not,” he said, very sadly. “It is my duty to protect you, and I shall do it as well as Ican. You have had trials enough to bear, little girl!” The rest of the time in St. Louis passed in peace and quiet; even the rioting ceased upon the evening of Lou’s rescue. Archie Ray left town, realizing that Mar- ion was still mistress of her own heart, and Dr. Brookes decided to continue with the company. Miss Maitland’s whereabouts were of no interest to anyone, but Marion never quite forgot her enemy, Lou Leland. “All’s well that ends well,” murmured Miss Allyn, as they were leaving. A gentle smile from Marion’s sweet lips was the only answer. THE END. At the next city where the company played —Chicago—Marion had some of the strang- est adventures she had yet been through. What these were, including the double disap- pearance of both herself and Mr. Temple, will he told in next week’s My Queen (No. 20). The story will be entitled, “Marion Marlowe in Chicago; or, Trapped by a Lunatic.” —- ————-@ » +@e PATTERN COLUMN.
