Miss Raglan did not appear at breakfast with the rest. Neither did Mr.
Pride, who slept late that morning. About ten o'clock Mr. Vandewaters's
agent arrived. About twelve o'clock Mr. Vandewaters saw Miss Raglan
sitting alone in the library. He was evidently looking for her. He came
up to her quietly, and put a piece of paper in her lap.

"What is this?" she asked, a little startled.

"A thousand for your hospital," was the meaning reply.

She flushed, and came to her feet.

"I have won," he said.

And then he reached out and took both her hands.
