ARKWRIGHT'S EYES ARE OPENED.
William came back from his business trip the eighth of July, and on the ninth Billy and Bertram went to New York.

Eliza's mother was so well now that Eliza had taken up her old quarters in the Strata, and the household affairs were once more running like clockwork.

Later in the season William would go away for a month's fishing trip, and the house would be closed.
Mr.and Mrs.Bertram Henshaw were not expected to return until the first of October; but with Eliza to look after the comfort of William, the mistress of the house did no worrying.

Ever since Pete's going, Eliza had said that she preferred to be the only maid, with a charwoman to come in for the heavier work; and to this arrangement her mistress had willingly consented, for the present.
Marie and the babies were doing finely, and Aunt Hannah's health, and affairs at the Annex, were all that could be desired.
