AY ‘WIND-MILLS, OHURCE AND BOHOOL BELLS. Qorner 10th and Farnam 8t., Omaha Neb OHAPTER XV—~CONTINUED. The gig in question was driven by a man who dismounted and helped to tho ground a woman with a good-tempered looking shiny face, and who was dressed in refreshingly bright colors, One of them rang the bell Hmidly, and after a befitting interval the dignified Whittaker condescended to open the door, The man asked if the Messrs, Talbert wero in. This collective style jarred upon Whittaker, who had been in tho family long enough to remember the time when “‘Messrs. Talbert and Co.” was a well-known form of address, He replied that Mr, Tal- bert and Mr, Herbert were in, but at present engaged. ““We will wait until they can see us," said the man, 8o Whittaker let them como into thohouse. They wiped their foet on cnter- ing 8o carefully and thoroughly that all doubts as to their being persons of any im- portance wero at onco set at rest, W hittaker telt ho was quite right in offering them chairsin the hall. They were too respect- abloto bo left standing, but the gig and the feet-rubbing combined showed they were not to be ushered into the drawing-room. “What namo shall I say ™ he asked. ‘Wo are strangers,” said tho man. “You can say wo have called on private and confl- dential business.” “You had better give me your name,” said ‘Whittaker. “Mr. and Mrs, Rawlings,” answered tho woman. 8o Whittaker went up stairs, found his masters, and told them thata Mr. and Mrs. Rawlings wanted to seo themon private and confidential business, “Rawlings, said Herbert, witha shudder. ““We know no one with such an awful name. , Whittaker? “I have no idea, sir,” said Whittaker, As his masters adjudged the namo horrible, ko folt half offended at it being supposed he knew any cne named Rawlings. ek 1 mald| Horans, gravely, o ely annoyed if you have let persons come inside our houso Wwho aro book hawkers, or, worse still, thoso who try to buy up recond-hand clothes, as theso people say they come on privateand confidential busi ness. However, they pub their cyo-glasses up and went downto tho hall and confronted their visitors. They found a woman whoso philistintc attire seb their toeth oncdge, and & pale-faced man with rather prominent light blus eyes and & weak looking, agitated kind of face. The brothers wondered mightily what tliese people could want with them. “You wish _tospeak tous?” said Horace, suavely. Although they kept persons at o distance, as long a3 possiblo at arm’s length, the Talberts wero always polite and kindly spoken. “If you please, sir,” said tho man. Horace and Herbert waited. “Wo should like to sco you in private,” said the woman, glancing round the hall o Herbert opened the drawing room door, and they all walked inside. ‘Now, then,” said Horace, encouragingly, “what can we do for you, Mr. Rawlings—I belicve that is yoar name?" ‘Yes, sir,” said Mr, Rawlings, drawing out a pocketbook, and handing Horaco a card, on which was printed, “Rawlings Bros,, Purveyors of Pork, 142 Gray street, London.” Horace shivered. Ho felt very ork,” he mid, “is & meab wa mever touch.” Then Lo motioned to Herbert to ring the bell. But Mr. Rawlings interposed I didn’t come on that sort of business, sir. The fact is, I havo heard thatsomo time last yoar achild, alittlo boy, was left at your house, sent from no one knows whero. Is this correct, gentlemen?”? “Itis quito true,” answered Horace, Ha was sorry he had misjudged the man in thinking him a_touting tradesman, “But why do you ask?” ho added. The man grew visibly excited. *Moand sy wife,” ho suid, “havo strong hopes that the ifttle boy 13 onawo lost, or had stolen from us, more than two years ago.” 3P&0(AL ¥)!

But Iwon't leave a stone unturned. May wo seo tho boy?” Tho situation was growing if tho Talberts disl another it was a ridiculous situation, The best_way out of this one seemod to bo that Mr. Rawlings should seo the child and be sat- isfled it was not his missing offspring. So Horace rang the bell and desired that the little boy should be brought down. Mrs, Miller, the nurse, upon receiving in- structions to this effect, imagined that her chargo was 0 bo shown to visitors of im- portance. o sha quic s 4 ments, and made him look very cherubic Ho trotted fnto the drawing room a cabinet picture of childish Lealth and beaut Rawlings looked at Lim with excitement i every lin of his faco, His light blus cyos socmed to be starting out of his head, “Maria,” he whispored hoazsely to his wife, “look at him.

Answer me— and thank heaven we Lavo at last found im,” Tha wifo looked at the child but did not answer at once, 1t is—1I know it s, said the man, them so, Maxia,” “I hopa it is,” said his wife, The Talberts on hearing this looked stupo- fed, Tho case was assuming undreamt of proportions.

Sho had strict instructions from Beatrico never to let the child become a nui- sance, Horacoand Herbert, with arched eye- brows, sat staring at their visitors, ““We may take our little boy back with us at onco, sir—may_we not? asked Rawlings, “Certainly not,” said Horace. “You have not given us the slightest proof itis your child.” “But it is, sir. Iknow, and Maria knows it §s.” “Toll us how it camo here, Until you can do that we cannot admit your claim for an instant. It is absurd—you must be mis- taken.” “Absurd!" echoed Herbert, ““Tell mo whose child it is, if it isn’t minot” retorted tho man, “Do that and I will go away. Idon't care how it camo here, 1 know {5 recognizeit. It §s my poor lost little boy, and I will have it.” The man grew more excited than before, Horaco was intensely annoyed. He turned to the woman. ‘‘Youseem to have some sense,” ho said; *“do you claim this child?" Bho glanced at her husband and tears sprang into her eyes. “‘Yes, sir," sho said, “I believe it is my child.” ' The situation grow worso and worse, It was well for the ‘boy that he had made such friends of Horace and Herbert or he must have been sacrificed forthwith, if only torid tho houso of his self-styled father and mother, As it was the Talberts temporized; they promised to consider the matter for a few days, and Jot Mr. Rawlings know the decision they might come to. Mr. Rawlings wrote on his business card the name of a hotel at which he was staying, and having again and again asserted that ho would not be robbed of hisrefound son, atlast, to the unspeak- nb]u reliet of our friends, drove away in his B over had Horaco and Herbert been placed in such a difficulty, They.sat stroking their beards for atleast half an hour, but could see no way out of it. Tho arrival of the child onthat evening of last year was as nothing con ed to the present dilemma, en to uso it, there was at leasta short cub outof the difficuity; now thero was noze, The more they thought the moro improbablo it seemed that theso peopts could bo tho parents of the boy. And yet the man at least asserted that it was so, asi} tho matter was beyond doubt. The beliel that tho child was “some one's” child still clung to both Horace and Herbort. It scomed, morcover, an absoluto insult that the child of such personsas Mr. and Mrs, Rawlings should have been sent to. Hazle- wood House, Why should they have been chosen out of all” the world to have this child foisted upon them? Why did not the unknown sender return it to its rightful home? The whole claim was a mistake; whether willful or accidental, it was a mis- Fond as thoy had really grown of the oy, the Talberts were far too just to think of wishing to keep him from his legiti- mate owners; but they had no intention of surrendering him to the first claimant, Besides, what about Beatrice? what would sho say? Beatrice, to whom tho child seemed as the apple of her eye. Bitterly they blamed themselves for ever having yiclded to her request that she might keep tho foundling. But what was done was done, and could not now be helped. Horace wrote to Beatrice by the next post. He told her that some persons had called and claimed her boy. The whole thing, ha said, was a great puzzle to him and to Herbert. They had deferred their decision for a few days. If possible they would do nothing until her return, Beatrice was alone when she read that let- ter. Sho turned deadly pale and scemed to gasp for breath, Then she rang tho bell and ordered her things to bo At break. fast she quictly told Lady Clauson that sha found she must return to Blacktown by the next train, She gave no reason for this ab- Tupt departure, and her sudden determina- tion annoyed Lady Clauson immensely. Sir Maingay said nothing. His daughfer had Jong ago shown him she wes entire mistress of her own actions. “Mark my words," said Lady Clauson as soon as Beatrico had departed; “that girl will some day do something which will dis- grace the family.” “Oh, nonsense, my love," said Sir Maingay, who had now been married long cnough to find out that his beautiful wife was not all his fancy had onco painted her. Beatrice reached Hazlewood House quite unexpected. The Talberts were out, 5o the girl ran straight to the nursery, “Where is my boy{’she cried, so vehemently that she startled Mrs, Miller who knew nothing of the purport of the visit paid yesterday, The boy was tliere all safe, and Miss Clauson, without removing her outdoor garments, hugged and caressed her pet until ske was told that ler uncles had come in. She went to them at once, They grected her in astonishment, *“What have you done about thoso wretched people?” she asted quic “The people who claim my boy, I mean, “My dear, wo bave dono nothing as yet.” “You will not dream of giving him up{” “l hopo we shall not Le obliged to.” en, Uncle Horace,” her check flushed mum,m 0. “Iwill give him up to 1o one —no one at all.” “Tam sure, entirely guide “Of course y dear Bentrico, you will bo nid Horace said Herbert, kindly, They must have been sanguine men, as the set of Miss Clauson’s brow did not promise well for her submitting to guidance of any kind. 1 ghall never give up that boy,” she saidin a firm voi “until the person whe claims ib gives every proof thatitis his. 1 would rather run away with him and hide myself.” Horace looked extremely shocked, “My dear Beatrice,” ho said, ‘it grieves us botk to hear you talk so \\ud]y. The child isa very nice child, but you speak of itasif if were of our own flesh and blood.” Beatrico did not reply to this; but the up shot was that the Talberts promised to write o Mr, Rawlings and say that they held his recognition of a child not seen for more than two years insufficient proof that it was his own, and in the absence of further evidence doclined to entertain his claim, After this Beatrice left them, end for somo time they mourned over thisnew and startling phase of demonstrativencss displayed by one of 1beir own ki T'wo mornings afterwards Horaco opened a lotter addressed to him in clerkly writing, Tioxead it and it scemed as if his jaw was about to fall. In gilenco ho handed tho letter to Herbert, Herbert read it, and his face reflected his brother's emotion, One glance passed botween them and they knew that they were of one mind, Horace turned to Beatrice, *'Beatrice," ho said in & voico solemn as the grave, and in amanner decisive as the laws of. the Medes and Persians, *‘that child must be given up,” Bhe started, but before she could speal she beard Herbert's ocho, equally solemn and devi'nlve. ““Beatrice, that child must be given up.” CHAPTER XVL A TAME BURR! ER, This {3 & true copy of the letter which foll like a bombshell between tho gentle aud peace-loving Talberts: “BLACKTOWN, Dee, 81, 18——To the Messry, Horaco and Herbert Talbert; Gea- tlomen—We have this worning been con- sulted by Mr, Rawlings with reference to your refusal to restore to him his child, John Rawlings, whom Lo lost about two years ago in a mysterious manner, and whom he has receatly discovered to be living in your house, *“The circumstances as explained to us by client tend to show that tho cluld was left by eomo person unknow carriage, and that it eventu houss, where, o und amzined, wlings will call 2t your house on rday afterncon, at 8 o'clock, with , and we trust you will, without pposition, allow tho chi “In_caso you still Tefuso to give up the child My, Rawlings has instructed ys to tal of his son, and wo are fnformed that proper Jegal proof as to the identity of the boy will be hereafter adduced. ‘W are, gentlemen, “Your obedient servants, ““BLACKETT AND WIGGENS." No wondor that after reading the last para- graph, and realizing the fact that the man with the terrible name meant to fight for his offspring, Horace ejaculated: “The child must bo given up!” No wonder that Herbert in his turn echoed his brother’s exclamatios Unimaginativeas they were, a dreadful ture of the consequences of resistance fixed itself on the mental retina of each. But Beatrico was by far the most agitated of the party. Her cheek grew white; the hand which she mechanically held out for the letter trembled, Herbert gave her the opis- tolary bombshell, and whilst ghe read it the two brothers gased ab each other in that sadly calm and gravely reflectivo way at timos natural to men whose minds are made up that a particular path of duty must at all cost be trodden to the end. When sucha gazo passes from man to man it strengthens tho feet of each to tread the stony course. Beatrice read the letter twice. Withouta word she returned it to Herbert; then she walked across the room to the fireplace and stood for some minutes tapping her foot upon the fender, Her back being turned to the Talberts they could not see the supreme emo- tion shown by her contracted brow and in every line of her set, white face. Had they seen it they would have been more than sur- prised—they would bavo been shocked. Strong emotion was a thing to bo shown by well-bred persons only under the most intense provocation. In this case it was uncalled or, Presently the girl turned to them. have quite made up your minds to 3 theee poople’s threat?” she asked. Thero was a curious strained sound in her voice, ““Wecando nothing else,” answered Horace, Herbert nodded a sad assent to his brother'’s view of tho case. *Nothing elsol” echoed Beatrico with a touch of scorn in her voice. “What right can these people have to tho boy? 1t is not theirs. Uncle Horace, Uncle Herbert, you can remember how ho was sent here, ' How beautifully dressed he was—how thoroughly cared for, Can you, can any ono for a moment imagine him as belonging to such persons! Wlhat are thoy! Pork butchers, yousaid.” “Purveyors,” interpolated Horace, ]0\mllnlepw se. “How s it possible ho can bo their child?” urged Beatrice., “People in any station of life may have children, my dear,” said Herbert, uttering the truism like a nowly-found proverb of Solomon, ““And,” said Horace, speaking more to tha point, “the broad fact remains ghat they claim_tho child and are pre; that claim good before tke magis “You eld to who Tho most eccomplished ack-of-al-trades v breaks down when ho interprets oraco was no exception. Had he known that Messrs, Blackett and ‘Wiggens could only obtain possession of their client’s child by awrit of habeas corpusor somo such mysterious operation in a civil court ho might have felt more inclined to disregard tho threat of “immediate legal action.” As it was, his ignorance of criminal law inter- proted the vague threat as conveying tho awful terrors of a magisterial summons. Hi; mistake shows how much better it would be for the gencral public if they consulted solicitors in every emergency—and how much better for solicitors! “Beforo tho magistrates, my dear Beatrice,” echoed Herbert, dutifully’ accepting his brother’s version of the law. “Tell them to doso—tell them to prove their right,” said Beatrice, The brothers held up their long, shapely handsin horror. ‘My dear Beatrice,” said Horace, with the solemnity of a bishop re- buking a curate, ‘‘for heaven's sako be reason- able—vwe only ask you to be reasonable. How can wepo contest this claim? Fancy tho tall—the ri culel You must see the utter ab: your suggestion—the utter imposs ur compliance.” “My dear Beatr: said Horace, *““for Heaven’s sale be reasonable.’ Tos, Beatrice, I ax sure you must seo it," sl .1 Horbert,.

Then she passed through the door which Herbert hold open, an act of politeness which not even the relationship of unclo and niece or tho pro- verbial contempt bred by familiarity ak lowed tho Talberts to forget. The brothers resumed their seats, and for a whilosilence reigned. The truth is they felt angry and annoyed, perhaps even self roproachful, ]m]n\«flfln as it wos that Mr, Rawlings' claims could be contested, both Horaco and Herbert folb a sense of shame natural to any Englishman who finds himselt compelled to yield by smero threat., The wish to fight everything out to the bitter end mndn England what # is. Perhaps, after all, they camo #o think of it, the Talbarts wero fonder of tho child than they cared to own. At any rate, after a long brown study, Herbert, at least, showed signs of wavering, “T suppose,” he asked, as one secking for information, “it would be out of tho question for us to do as Beatrice wishes?” Horace was equal to tho occasion, “Quite out of question,” ho answered sternly, *‘Wo should be placed in a ridiculous: position and becoma the jest of the county. They shuddered visibly at the thought and sofar as the Talborts wero concerned the boy's fate was settled. To becomo the jest of the county is too terriblel Country wit, as wo all know, is so delicate, yet so sharp and pointed! With minds ill at easo they sought dis- traction in their housekeoping. ~Although as a rule the “Tabbies” were just, if cheeso- paring, in their management—not unreason= Able, if exacting, in their requirements, to- fay they drove the cook and poor White taker aliost frantic, and set both wondering “whatever the masters were going toget to.” In the meantime Beatrice had carried her white face to her own room. She locked the door, threw herself upona couch, whero for slong timosho sat with her hands pressod against hor brows, She did not weep, vas her Jook that of ona resigning herself to 1ate ana geiting re: able. It was rati g for and exploring every path which might possibly offera way of “escape from a_difll- culty. ~ Bub it scemedas if every path sho trod mentally resolved itself into a eulde sac, for the girl heaved a hopeless sigh and the tears at last began to force themsolves through her half closed lashes. Sho rose, rang tho bell, and gave orders for tho boy to bo brought to her. He sconran into the room with tho cry of delight with which he always greeted her, Miss Clauson took the little fellow on her lap, clasped him to her heart, stroked and curled his pretty, ruffled bright hair, called him by a thousand endearing names and strange diminutiy kissed him on his lips, his eyes, his neck, hi dimpled arms and fat legs, and generally went through tho well-known ceremony of child worship. It was clear that no Ie menace, however dire, would make her ac quiesce in the tame surrender of her pot con- templated by her uncles, Not ono of her many and rather wild ejaculations so mu as hinted at the possibility of an impending separation. In no sense were her care somo of which were tearful ones, intended as o farewell. By and by, with & face even paler than before, Beatrice took the child by the hand and went down stairs. She paused for a second before the closed door of tho room in which she had left her uncles other way. It must be dene,” shomu Then, like one Iullol'n.sulmm purpos entered the room. Whatever she may have been about to do, the empty room seeimed to give her a welcome respite. Sho gave a breath of relief. Nevertheless, it scemed that tho respite was to be but short, for, after waiting a few minutes cnd finding neither Horaco nor Herbert appear, sho turned as if to go in search of them. But at that moment her mood changed once more, or an alternative course at last presented itsclf. A tinge of color leaped back to her cheek. With quick steps she led tho boy awey, and having consigned him to Mrs. Miller's care, again sought. her own room, and again seb for along time in decp ght. “1t is butaslender chance,” sho whispered, “but it can be (ried. To-day is Thursday, and nosteps can bo taken until sho wroto a note toSylvanus Mordlc, asking him if ho could cometo the house and seo her either that afternoon or carly the next morning. She sent the note down to illageand then went in sear of her uncles. : They looked at her rather timidly, perhaps conscienco stricken, They fancied she had come to renew Ler argument and offer up fresh entreaties. It may bo they feared that in an event they would be forced to old, in spito of the consequences suchan act of weakness must entail. But B ico did not reopen the attack, Sho quictly asked if she might have tho clothes e by the boy when he nzsi di the seclusion of Hazlewood House; which clothes, it may be remembered, wero carefully stowed away by Horacé in the big safe. ‘e appeared tobe no harm in the gratifying of this re- quest the safe was unlocked, anl a neat brown paper pareel indorsed in Horace's long, slim caligraphy given to tho girl “You will not answe '.]IO‘)OIIULUI s lotter, 1 hope,” sho said. “Nos it needs no ans the boy will be answi th wer.
