AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS

A NOVEL

By AUGUSTA EVANS WILSON

Author of "A Speckled Bird," "Infelice," "Vashti," "Beulah," "St.
Elmo," etc.




Fate steals along with silent tread,
Found oftenest in what least we dread;
Frowns in the storm with angry brow,
But in the sunshine strikes the blow.
--COWPER.




IN MEMORY OF MY MOTHER, WHO HAS ENTERED INTO REST.
