ing fanatically to the vow she had made to be faithful to him to her life's end. It was a very different Elsie who looked on the world when she rose from her sick bed. Life was never to her the same again.
Ina nursed her through her illness, and the Waveryngs stayed till danger was over. Then they went back to England, and Ina, who followed with her mother and Elsie, joined them later. Elsie and her mother lived mostly at Rome, and Elsie developed a latent taste for art, which served her in good stead in later days. Ina spent a great part of the time she was in Europe with the Waveryngs. Elsie never went back to Australia, but it has been Ina's lot to return to her old haunts on the Luya. Two years after her departure, Frank Hallett, a prominent Australian politician, took a trip to Europe, and at the Waveryngs met again Ina Gage. There he asked her to marry him, and she returned with him as his wife.
THE END.
