AN OUTRAGE ON WHITTAKER Carruthers, when Horace and Herbert went_forth at the call of duty, bad asked that Beatrice's letter might bo left with him. As he had fully proved his right to be admitted to the family council his request nted, With the letter in his tinto the library and pondered pened, The question he ha to solve was what motive could bave been strong cnough to force Beatrice to take such aste )l(‘I had heard from Horace all about the claim made upon the child, and this had ex- plained a matter which Lad for some days been troubling him g amoly, Be trice's abrupt departure from London. But hero he could see no sirong motive, The clairh was abandoned, or at least lay quies- cent. Besides, Beatrice, as bo judged her, was far more likely to fight than tofly. He dismissed anything to do with the boy, or at least put it aside to be inquired into collaterall Herbert, too, had hinted his idea about an attachment, Frank scertained that no shadow of suspicion of such a thing hung over Beatrice, sternly put it out of sight, Besides, there were one or two recol- lections v “ich he carried always with him and which rendere 1 vulgar, unworthy explanation somcthing not far short of sacrilege.

His face was as red as a turkey cock’s, hing impressed Frank more gly with tho feeling that unusual things happening at Hazlewood House than it of this respectable old retainer in such abnormal dificulties, “What's the matter?’ he said, going to the door, “It's aman, Mr. Carruthers,” puffed out What does hio want " fo asked for Miss Clauson, sir; Tim she was away from home,” Well, at then” uk grew inter- ested, parties and inside re- ned in the deadlock, *Ho asked for her address, sir; I did not know.” “Well, what then?™ “He called me a damned liar, Mr, Car- ruthers,” said Whittaker, with supreme emotion, and ina voice so low that it showed how ashamedl he was of the cccurrence—'a damned liar, sirv.,” The repetition sounded almost tearful “Open the door and let me have a look at him,” raid Frank, “I wouldn't, Mr. Carruthers, if T were you, sir. 1 beliove he meditates making an attack of personal violence,' “Never mind; open the door, He won't personal violence me, and you can stand be- hind me.” This, as he was a head and shoulders taller than Frank, Whittaker felt to bo sarcasm, However, being accustomed to obe opened the door, and Frank found himself face to face with a man about bis own age A strong looking, muscular fellow, dressed in the very height of fashion—too far up, in fact, to look a gentleman, Maurice Horvey, of course. Having given Beatrico more than 24 hours' grace, he put in execution Lis threat of lookin ap. Not that he ¢ ed to soe not that he was prepared with a plan of action in case she proved recaleitrant; but he knew the call would alarm her.

Suddenly he changed his mind and came back. “Does Mr. Talbert know his nicce's ad- dress?” o asked. For a second Frank felt almost sick, His interrogator had tried to ask the question as if it bore no Ridden meaning, but he had failed, As by inspiration Frank knew that this man, whoever he might lw, was aware that Beatrico had fled, **No, 1, look- ing him straight in the 2o, , Talbert does not know it,” ‘Without a word Hervey turned z\ml strode .

ANOTIER PAINFUL TASK, The dinner that night at Hazlewood House was a dreary affair, Frank did not seo his hosts until the gong sounded.

At any rate ho could sit there and gazo at Beatrice's portrait, “Do you mean to tako auy further stepst’ he asked, *'I think not,” said Horace. “Herbert and I have talked tho matter over and feel the is no more to bo dono. We saw a great many people this afternoon, and I am sure have leit a general impression that Beatrice has gone to visit friends.” *1t was a most painful duty,” said Her- bert, “‘but ons we felt must be performed, Tn fact, it was due to ourselves to forestall gossip.” “Lam suro Frank quite understands the situation,” said Horace. A satirical smile curled round Frank's lips. “It must have Leen most painful,” ho said; “you must have felt like two Spartan boys with a joint fox under their clothes.” aid Herbert, simply; “we did.” “I have often heard the simile used,” said Horace, *'but its great strength never struck me until now.” Carruthers gave a short, quick laugh; he could not belp it.

I knew one man on Dearborn sirest who had one wire in h's oftice and had to have another. An enemy swore he shouldn’t and hired a men acd 8 policeman to watch the cor- ners of two buildings on oppoite sides of the strect and the sky to see that no wire was strung.
