"The man in the corner--that other one"--had claimed him, and Daisy put

gently from her only the lifeless form which had once been Tom.

They buried him there in France on a sunny slope, where the grass was

green and the flowers blossomed in the early spring, and when Mr.

McDonald examined his papers he found to his surprise that, with the

exception of an annuity to himself and several legacies to different

charitable institutions, Tom had left to Daisy his entire fortune,

stipulating only that one-tenth of all her income should be yearly given

back to God, who had a right to it.
