BEAUCHAMP’S VENGEANCE. | OuarteR 1V.—How To Reap a Lerger. In silence Rackit made a cigarette, offered it to me, and then setabout making another for nimself. Noone feels the necessity ot speech when acigar isin his mouth, and itis very | uncomfortable to be in company with # man, and dread to say anything Jest it should jar on his eensitive feelings; so we smoked on in Jence, thinking s great deal. Hisnobleexpres- sive face plainly showed the tumult that was going on within; butas I had no idea what direction his resolution would take [dared not say a word: and to leave him in this condition seemed unfriendly. Onur silence was broken by the return of Briggs, who said, impatiently— “Kackit, make mea cigarette. I can’t rest. | Ihave been wandering about the streets like a murderer.” i Rackit, who bad just finished making one, resented it to him, and he puffed turiously as e went to the easel on which stood Mrs. Beau- ehamp’s portrait. *: What a face she has!” he exclaimed. “Look atit. Whatasmile! Whocouid help loving ! sucha woman ?” Rackit flung agisnce at me, in which I read ae plainly as if he had spoken the words, « He must take her back!” « Did you ever see one to compare with her!” inquired Briggs. « Never!” replied the painter. « And Ihave always said that you are a lucky dog—the hick- jest of dogs—to have captivated the affections of sucha woman. Johnson will tell you that ys eaid so.” ‘ groaned Briggs, «dou tremind me *s not lost.” ‘} She is though.” * You fancy 80.” «I know so.” 10s nothing but a lover's quarrei—ixiss and make up.” «Ah!

For On reflection I will contess that it was J who was wrong yesterday—very wrong—i was hasty.” * Nodoubt. Your temper is peppery, you know. I have always said it of you.” «No, not generatly. But yesierday, per- haps—"" | « Yesterday you were hasty—perhaps alittle ef ensive—it may be brutai——” * No, no, I wasn’t ail that.” “You can be brutal, Briggs—I know yo ean : notthat you mean it. ot co} Sh understand that. And no doub is + je sides ifshp hasa taull, ] never expected her to be quite perfect.” “Of coursenot. A perfect woman would be & monster—her goodness would be an eternal reproach. As tar as I can judge—and Johnson wall tell you Im no bad judge of women—my experience is tolerably extensive. Well, as tar as 1 can judge, Mrs. Beauchamp combines a!! the qualities necessary to make & mau happy.” « All, ail,” responded Briggs “ And, moreover, let us joke as we like about marriage, it is the dearest aim we have in life, you know.” bd “ That itis.” «The haven into which the storm tossed mir- iner—and ail that kind of thing «Exactly my sentiments.” « Well, then, go at once and ar her forgive- nes.

One can read it im your face. Rackit, look at this picture—and then read this letter.” He handed acrumpled note to Rackit, who | smoothed it, read it, and returiuing it, said— | «Well, upon my word, 1 see nuthing to objec: to in it.” “You don't !* exclaimed. ne astonished B , throwing Away the end ot his cigarette. s Goknscn shall judge.

We made a mis- take in fancying our natures suited each other. It would be very wrong to continue In this ror. Let ns part. Briggs here looked at us as much as to say, | What do you think of that ! As what] thought | Was very unequiyocul, | was sileat; but Rac- | Kit broke torth: | « Well,, wever did I hear a more dignified, and at the same time fouching, accent of a wounded heart. How iree it is from rhodo- montade and from sophistry! She throws no blame on you, obserye! Not a syllable. She doesn’t say that you showed yourself coarse, tyrannical, violent, brutal. 2 «+ Because | didn’t!” « Yes, yes, you did; you confessed as much notiong ago. Besides, I’m sure you were— you mus? have been—you were angry, and an- ger is always blind.” «TI don’t care what 1 was, the letter’s piain | enough.” “Quite plain, it I] readin another spirit. Let any upprejndiced eye read it, read it without bias, without anger. and it will be found as Doble in conception #5 it is severe in its sim.

Fortunately l have great | command over my countenance, and did not | explode in a loud Homerte guffaw | «Only profound feeling,’ conumued Rackit, «ever expresses itself simply.” | **But where is the feeling here!” asked | Briggs. | “ Where P’ replied Rackit. « In every phrase. Listen, while l read.” He took the leiter, and, | throwing a subdued reticent tenderness into | his voice, which did honor to his talents as an | actor, he began, ‘* /t would be wrong to continue | amerror. Do you not feel the selective delicacy of the wore -rror! Then, too, the piirase: Let us part’ No shrieks—no reproaches—all is se- | verely calm, like the expressions, of a Roman matron.” + But go on,” said Briggs; ‘you see, sheadds, 4 We were lo be married shorlly. Our marriage is now impossible.” | « There again! After the calm statement of the fact, her heart begins toswell, in spite of hereelf, and in brief sentences—each sentence a | sob—eshe says, looking tenderly backwards, We were to be married shortly. Then sorrowing- | ly she remembers, Our marriage is now impossi- | ole. Really, the tears gathered to my eyes as I read this.” Briggs was moved but not conyinced. «You certainly have a way of reading it,” he s:id, * which wasn'tatallmine. But listen w this: J do not think you will find a nature to suit your own, but you are free to try. Heaceforth wecan only befriends.
