A FAMILY ATFAIR BEY HUGH OCONWAY, Aw'hor of *'Called Back” and ‘'Darl: Days." CHAPTER XX ~CONTIN URD. Hervey, as soon as ho found himself on the samo platform as his pupil, burried matters on. He had pressing reasons, known only to himself, for bringing things toa conclusion. Perhaps his audacity helped him. At any rate, when ono day be dashed the drawing materials asido and vowed he loved her, and —And vowed he loved her— unless <he loved him he must fly and seo her no more, the girl's answer was all he could have hoped for. To Beatrico, tho fairy prince of her childish dreams had come. She wished to write to her father at once, Strange to say, this did not suit her lover, With great modesty he represented that until he bad made his name famous in art Sir Maingay might naturally object to the alliance, Ho was not, however, selfish enongh to suggest a term of probation whilst the making fumous process was going on. On the contrary, he assured Beatrice that he could not live another month unless she were Lis ‘wife. He redoubled theso assurances when Beatrice told him indirectly that when of ago she camo into a large income. No, let them be married at once. Her father’s con- sent could be won so much better after th ceremony, His (Maurice’s) darling must be guided by him. Beatrico hesitated, Hervey pressed, and at last,, like other darlings of eighteen, sho consented to be guided by the man sho loved. He guided her to her first” act of deceit. She informed Mrs, o that she was going to Bournemouth for a fortnight to sea an old school friend. Sho comforted herselt by thinking it was but an equivocation. Sho was going to Bournemouth, and a friend of hers lived, or did live there—no doubt she would seoher. Every one knows that equivo- cation is the inclined plane down which people slide to the pit. With respect to ber father she comforted herself by thinking that, as he married to please himself, she had a right to do the same—a kind of reasoning by analogy mot nncommon to young people, Besides, ho would know Maurice very soon, and, of course, learn to love him, So to Bournemouth she went, but_before going was quictly married to Maurice Hervey, and the fortnight spent at Bournemouth was their honeymoon. Tho rays of the honey- moon go sometimes far towards dispersing the glamour with which a bride surrounds her bridegroom. Somo curious things hap- pened to Beatrice, In tho first place, her husband even now objected to Sir Maingay’s being told of his daughter’s happiness, and Beatrice, not wish- ing tocross him in theso carly days, con- sented as before for a limited period to be guided by his superior knowledge of the world, In tho second place the postman one morn- ing broughtalarge letter for Hervey. Beatrice watched him rather curiously ashe opened it, and sho saw it contained a document, the indorsement of which informed all who could read that it wasa copy of the last will and testament of William Talbert, Esq. Hervey explained that he merely took an interest in his darling’s affairs, and thinking he ought to know something about them had written for the copy. This explanation sufficed, and Beatrice laughingly suggested that she should sit beside him and read the will with him, This was agreod to, Hervey, with a smilo of satisfaction, read how one-third of the residuary estate was'be- queathed to Beatrice, or rather to Horaco and Herbert in trust for Beatrice. This was followed later on by another clause which in the event of Beatrice's making, beforo she was of the age of twenty-one, an unsuitablo mateh, or even what appeared to her trusteos an unsuitable match, Horace and Herbert were given what amounted to an unlimited power of dealing with her share, n power hich fell little short of appropriation. Old Talbert had determined that until his grand- daughter arrived at years of discretion her u should be able to defy fortune hunters. This olause, which was so clearly worded that even she could understand it, mada Beatrice glance at her husband, His face was pale, his hands wero shaking, and all of o sudden a string of flerco oaths dropped from his lips, A sharp pain ran through the girl’s hoart. ‘Without a word sho roso and loft him. Ho soon followed her, apologized and be- leved he had pacified her, but his conduct bad planted in Ler heart the doubt—tho most painful doubt which a young wife can feel— that her husband had warried her for her money, not for berself. The next day Hervey went to town, on im- portant business, he said. Beatrice naturally resented the desertion, but not baving boen long enough married to know what a fraud that plea of business often is, made no com- plaint, Nevertheless, something told her tBather busband's business was in some way connected with the will. o the doubt bo- came all but certainty, Curiously enough, or naturally enough, Beatrico had no longer the wish to apprise Yer father of what had happencl. Dimly sho began 10 £ee the meaning of tho stop she had taken. Tt was settled she should return to Mrs, Erskine's, and as a slight misundervtanding 18 not sufficient %o terminate tha relationship between a busband and wifeof e fortuight's standing, it wea also arranged that Hervey should take lodgings in the nelghborhood, to which lodgings his wife could come a3 pupil to a dfawing master. Tho fellow had by now resumed his mask, and seemed to be trying to efface the recollection of the' will scene, But the mask had bepn dropped once, Beatrico, exceph in hor ncmlmvl, was 1 fool. Sho weut back to ber home with a pain in Ler heart, and feeling years older than when sho bad left a fortnight age. Mra, Erskine manifested 1o interest in the visit to Bourne- mouth, She merely hoped that Beatrice had spont a pleasant time, The gnl:l Mfm very miserable; a kind of dread, W) o Vi ve to thryst needed a confidant, Such a secret as kers was too great for one breast. S0 sho told by maid Barah whathad bappened. The woman slave-like worship and dog-like fidelity assure. her silence. Mrs. Miller, who, in spite of her religlous peculiarities, knew the world, an® knew also what such a marriago as this meant, sup- pressed tho grief she felt. But to endeavor to easo her mind, she made such inquiries as she could respectipg Mr. Maurice Hervey, Bhe even watchad him, waited for bim, tracked him in his goings out and comings in. Bhg told Beatrige nothing of this self-instituted inquiry. Todo the woman justice, had she found Hervey up to the standard of har re- | #m¢ him U ponal servitu auiremengs for Beatricg, sho would Lave of. ¢« His wifo es her, fored up thanks to heaven more fervently thn she had ever done in her life, One day when Beatrice was paying a visit to her busband, he turned to her suddenly. “TI must have money,” he said, ‘“‘there’s no | good beating about the bush.” ““Have you no money " asked Beatrice, “I have twenty pounds, the remnant of a large sum I borrowed.” Beatrico had expected an appeal of this sort, Although Hervey had again and again told her that by the drudgery of teaching he could make a good income, %o that, in marry- ing, money was a secondary consideration, this bad been part of the dread hanging over An appeal of this sort would give her fears a stronger foundation. She said noth- ing, but taking out her purse, shook its coa- tents on the table. The man laughed scorn« tully. “it is no driblet like that I want. I miust have a thousand pounds by this day fort- night.” “Why tell mesof I cannot get it." She could not help the growing coldness of her you can, if youwill. Will you do She looked at him steadily. “You are my husband,” she said, “If I can, 1 will.” “1 knew it,” he said, with a nervous laugh. “All you will have to do is to sign an under- taking promising to repay the money and interest out of your income within a_certain number of years. You will do this/” “Yos, 1 will do this. You are my hus- band.” It is also necessary,” he went on, with a covert glance at her, “'to make a declaration —a mere matter of form. You must declare yourself to be twenty-one years of age.” The truthis Mr. Hervey had been to the money-lenders, and without mentioning names had endeavored to negotiate a loan upon such security as Beatrice's fortune offored. Some of the usurers laughed in his face, but ho soon found one whoss business it was mever to refuse to lend money on a forged bill or a false declaration provided the fricnds of the forger or the perjurer were of the stamp who would pay mohey to avoid criminal proceodings. “I do not quite understand,” said Beatrice. Bhe would not understand. “It's o mere matter of form, my dear girl, it can do no harm, It is only to swear you | are twenty-one, I'm sure no one would doubt it Beatrice covered her face with her hands, and the tears trickled through her fingers. Hervey attempted to caress her. Sadly but firmly sho pushed his arm away. “I cannot do it,” she said. His brow grew black. must!" he said. She rose. I will not,” she said in accents which told him she meant what she said. I | will do this much: I have some jewelry; it shall be placed in your hands, ~The only favor I ask is that money may be raised on it in such a way that same day I can get it back. Part of it was my mother’s,” Hervey knew that her jewelry would not help him, S0 he pressed her to make the | falso declaration. First, Le commanded, | secondly he reasoned, thirdly he besought in an abjoect w And with his groveling en- treati atom of love for him went out of the girl’s heart, Love may survive ill-usage, faithlessness and wicked- ness—meanness kills it. She turned and left him before he could stop her. She did as she had promised. That even- ing Mrs. Miller brought him the packet of Jewel somo valuable articles in it, as v, who had great faith in his daughter's discretion, and who per- haps bad feared that if not given at once, thoy would never be given, had intrusted her with some diamonds which had belonged ta her late mother, So it was that Hervey was ablo to raise some two hundred pounds on the trinkets, To his credit be it said that be sent certain mysterious tickets to Beatrica which, upon inquiry, she found would enable “Damn it! you deprived herself. Threo days after this Sarah made a dis- r rather completed her inquiry inta y's real nature, By pertinacity in tracking and watching; by questions asked in certain houses in a neighiborhood to which she had followed him, she found the man had for some space of time, and was even now, pursuing a low intri With flashing, eyes M Beatrice and told her this. Beatrico heard her in silence. Then she spoke coldly and gravely. Lvents were fast making a woman of her, “Sarah, she said, “I will sco Mr. Hervey, and if needful you will see him. Bear in mind that if your charges against him are false, you leave me at once.” Bhe took Sarah with her, told her to wait in the street and then entered her husband’s room. She told him coldly and without ap- parent emotion what she had learned, She gave the namo of a street, and tho number of a house. Hervey of courso denied it. Beatrico then said shie would fetch his libeler, who should be properly dealt with, Hervey wavered, stammered, and then once for all dropped the mask. He brutally told his young wife to let him manage his own affairs of that sort in his own way. So Beatrico knew that Sarah had spoken the truth. And with this knowledge the love for this man which had already been driven out was replaced by & fecling of absolute hate and contempt, Once more and only once she saw him, A fow days later he wrote, bada her come to him, aud threatencd in caso of refusal ta como to Ler, Sho went, She scorned him too much to fear him, He renoworl his request that she would sign the false declaration of age.

If sha could only conceal this naw troubls as she had concealed hor marriage, there was peace —peaes for years, Sarah was told what sho already guessed, and upon hearing her mis- trees' wishes simply set about executing them. The child was born, and nono save the mother and her maid knew the truth, Hard as was the task, it was no barder to Beatrice ' Now the weakest part of her nature, a part than to others who, without the aid and | faithful service at her command, havo | concealed what if revealed meant ruin. | The elder woman arranged all. She left her mistress as & servant leaves; she prepared a place, and when the timo came Beatrice found ber gricf lightened by all a Joving woman can do for another in such a plight, Of course there was deceit—deceit seemed to bave forced itself into the girl's lifel There was a long visit to pay some- where, a visit from which Beatrice returned a shadow of her former self. But none knew, none even guessed the cause, Until the child was born Beatrice's prayer was that both she and it might die. Can a sadder, more pitiful prayer be framed by a woman? The truth could then be told to all. The early death would be the full expiation of her folly. The few who loved her would forgive and pity her, But her prayer was unanswered—death never even threatened mother or babe, The child was born, the tiny head nestled on the mother’s breast, and a strange new fecling awoke within her—the overpowering instinct of maternal love. Her thoughts which had once been, in case the child lived, to hate it for the father's sake, turned to pure, sweet affection for the innocent, helpless little being. So far from wishing it dead, she would not now have wished it unborn. When she returned to home she left it with many tears in Saral’s chai For sho saw it b, ealth, saw it grow more and moro the picturs of perfect childhood; loved it and worshiped it more each time she saw it, and at last, when sho returned to her father’s house, and felt that her visits to ber treasure would now per- | force be less and less frequent, a wild cray- ing to have it with her always, to see it every day, every hou, awoko in her ate heart, Then camo the sccond quarrel, and the new home. And even as she settled to go down to her uncles' the nucleus of the daring scheme for regaining her boy framed itself in her brain, and was eventually shaped into form and acted upon with perfect succ But the five years were passing, passing. At the end of them stood what Beatrice shrank from picturing, a convict who would come and claim his wite, Beatrice had, in- deed, expected that when first arrested ho would find some way of proclaiming his marriage, if only in fulfiliment of his threat of dragging her name into the dirt. Yot ho made no sign. He was crafty and calculating. The term of the sentencs was not to him an eternity, When it ended be knew that by keeping the secret ho should be in nmore advantageous position to turn matters to his own benefit. Beatrice would be well past twenty-one, and in command of alarge income, He meant to be thoroughly revenged for the obstinacy she had displayed in refusing to perjure berself, and so find him means to buy up the forged bills, but ho meant to have money also. This is tho story of the life of the last five years upon which Beatrico looked back that afternoon, These are the pictures of the | man and the woman—the husband and wife— | who were to mect on the morrow like foes in a deadly duel. And over and above all this, there was another matter ever present in the girl's mind—another name which came to her lips, not in accents of hate, but love. She had at- tempted to deceive him, but not berself, In fact, it seemed part of her punishment—the hardest part of all—that she loved Frank Carruther She had sobbed out the secret on the faithful Sarah’s breast. She had wept: through the weary hours of many a night as she thought of the utter hopelessness of love between them. His coming to Oakbury had doubled her grief. She had not ouly to lament ‘‘what has been,” but toregret *‘what might have been.” Blame her if you must! can! At least pity her! CHAPT XXT.

He gaye no orders for his breakfast things to be cleared away, but added to the relics of tho meal a bottle of whisky and a glass.

All these preparations wero inspired by an exquisite refinement of malice, Meta- pherically be meaut to bring Beatrice down on ker kuees, and his cruelty told him that to one of her type, the process would be doubly disugresable when it took place in such & soen ‘UGad!” be said, as he gazed round and approved of his handiwork. *I wish I had my prison suit bore, I'd don it once more for your benetit, my lady." He gave orders that if a lady called she was to.be shown up at once; then he lit & cigar aad lounged in the easy chafr, Atfive winvtes to twelvo, just as the man was won- dering whethaer she would come or not, and if, in the event of ber not coming, it would be well for his own interests to scek her at Haxlewood House, the door opened and Bea- irice stood befere him, He laughed a low, mocking laugh, and without changing b lounging attitude, looked up at her. Bhe took it all in, the disreputable look of the place and of its Lenant; he could see that by the quiver of her nostril, and the look of deepeuing scorn on ber firm mouth, His eyes glewned with triumph, And she, as sho looked at him, the thought «<an throuzh ber, how could ‘she ever in her most foolizh girlbood's days have loved this man—have loved bim even for an hour?

Or she thought she kuew, “Well, my aftoctionate wife,” he said, knocking the ash off bis cigar, and looking | her up and down; *‘you've grown into quite &ty vieee of voods, Quite @ tiv-tonver, ug end of a swell, for me, I guei She shiverod as she heard his voice and ‘You haven’t plned mach coarse, mocking compliments, vut she kepd her proud eyes upon him. *You have some- thing to say to moe—eay it.” Sho spoke st T should think it was for yon to You who ent me to herd You who would What fous, y 1 sy something. with felons for five years, not stretch out a hand to save me. have you to say” He spoke with a vi bitter intonation, Bhe said nothing.

All through you-—through youl! And now, my sweet wife, which do you expect mo to do, to strike you or to kiss your He changed his tone to that of raillery, a tone more loathsomo to Beatrice than that which showed his real nature. He took a stop towards her as ho said the last words. “You have done both to me,"” she said, slowly and bitterly. ‘“Ihe memory of the kiss is to<day more degrading to me than that of the blow.” He scowled as her scorn stung him—scowled and took another step towards h There was a sharp-pointed knife lying on the table. Beatrice's fingers mechanically rested themselves on the handle, *If you touch me, " she said, quietly, “I think I shall kill you,” 41 think I shall Lill yow.” The man knew sho meant it. He threw himself into a chair, and laughed scornfully. “Come,” he said, “‘let us g0 to business.” “Yes, Business'is the only question be- tween us now.” “Sit down.

I never made anything out of a woman's love, but her hate is profitable, Now bhear the conditions.” “Ihavenamed them already,” said Beatrics, coldly, “‘Hear mine, I say,” said Hervey, bringing his hand down on the table, and speaking in grim earnest. “Iwill go away, never seck you, never trouble you so long as you pay the money; but before I go"—here he bent forward and spoke in a low, grating voic “before I go you shall conie tome_ bere, in these rooms, and for a month sball live here as my wife.
