It was remarkable how often Harvey found it needful to call at the Marsons' house, and to discuss plans with Ella Matson. Gabrielle wondered first, and then was delighted. She did all she could to help the matter on, sure in her heart that Ella would be the very girl to "make Ted happy."

That consummation came about in the end, though not quickly. After due waiting, two weddings took place, not far apart. It would be hard to say which of the two young wives, Gabrielle Campion or Ella Harvey, found greater interest thereafter in helping forward the benevolent uses of the fund, which had so strangely fallen to the keeping of their husbands.

If any are disposed to think that Harvey and Campion acted with an extreme and unlikely disinterestedness, I can only answer that the main particulars in this story of an old man's will are not fancy, but fact.
