Ho had writ-. ten a letter to Moulton asking Theodore Tilton's forgivencsa; and Tilton, Beochor's own. showing, bad carried Limsolf with wonderfal gonerosity towards him. Now, wbero doss the “*gtorn " come in st all? Nay, whoro and why- waa it possiblo forit to occur? Whero is the * terrible emerganoy " of Mr. Boocher's life, if, having orred in judgmont, Mrs, Tilton had for- given him, and Friton bad ecarried himself to- wards Beechor with wondertul genmcrosity ? I 1ail to soe it, B But ot us look further. In this samoe latter to Mra.
