About this issue

Called to the Rescue This December 1879 serial installment by an unnamed author continues the story begun in earlier chapters. Miss Emily Stormount, a young heiress, learns from Adela Granard that her substantial inheritance derives partly from her mother's money that was entrusted to and misappropriated by Mr. Darlington, who made his fortune through smuggling operations. Emily resolves not to spend the disputed funds and plans to restore them to Mrs. Raymond when she comes of age. While exploring seaside ruins on her property, Emily hears a mysterious voice claiming to be her deceased mother, directing her to reward someone (presumably the enigmatic Paul) who has served her faithfully. Pembroke Tracy, a young scholar, returns to find Emily shaken from this encounter. Tracy confesses his affection for Emily, revealing his months of study have been motivated purely by desire to remain near her rather than academic interest.
