Good-bye, Robert, and may you never have as sad a heart as I have to-night.

Was it suicide ?" broke in the policeman as Robert put the note in his pocket.
"No," he answered; "I think it was a broken heart." And so the wonders of the New Hall were all dismantled, the carvings and the gold, the books and the pictures, and many a struggling man or woman who had heard nothing of Raffles Haw during his life had cause to bless him after his death.
