A TFAMILY AFFAIR. BY HUGH CONWAY, Anthur of “Oalled Back” and “Dark Days OHAPTER XXVI, CONTINUED, Phrough Mrs, Miller, of course, And byhls light he wna abla to explain a discrep- my which had always troubled him. Om 0 night when she bade him hope and wait, §o nureo had told him that Beatrico had ived her years ago from starvation, whoro- Horace had told him, that until she came E’m House, she was a strangsr to them all, [0 had not thought it worth while to pursue #ho inquiry. Bhe, this strangely mannered woman, had mado him promiso to wait, Walt for what? There wes nothing to wait for. Even if he, a8 he scornfully told himself he could, should w his manhood and be willing to take trice as his wife even now, ho knew thas -bln-lnr, never to be climbed, would be raised by her. Ho did not wrong her in this, ‘Heo knew that for all that had befallen she was mourning in mental sackoloth and @shes. He bhad no blame to give her, no atone to cast. She had not tried to win his love. Shehad @ot accepted that love when offered. Too well ho knew why., Yet he knew also that she loved him—loved him but would never bo his. The thought drove him half mad. o friend of Carruthers' would have known m, as, with heavy brows and bent head, © walked through those quiet streets of suburban London. But why the flight? No new dread, no mew danger could have threatened her. Did 0 after all fly becauso he was coming to azlewood House? Did she fear that her resolution must give way,and with one ‘breath she must avow her love, and with the mext tell her lover that love could not be be- tween them? No. A word from her would {bave stayed his coming, She had even as g0od as asked him to come. She wasnot fiying from him, Then the thoughtof that man who was seeking her came to his mind. Hoe shuddered fid bit his lip; he knew not why. Bub his st thought was to trace this unknown man @nd hear why ho wanted Beatrice, His mood changed. He would not seek him. He had no more to learn. After what o had this morning heard all inquiries, all dnformation, could but tend to makoe him apore miserable, There was nothing now left for him in the world but sheer hard work. Work, work, work, the groatest blessing over given to man, | 8o ho walked on and on, almost crying in his anguish, almost raving in his tter Help- lessness to mend matters. But all the while, do what he could to tear his idol out of her ghrine, thinking of her as the calm, fair, gtately girl he had known and loved, the one of all the world against whom slander should raise no voice. Beforo his aimless walk was ended his mood had grown soft and pitying. Anger had simply faded away. All he could now think of was Beatrico and her sorrow. All he asked was to be able tosee her and tell her thero was one who would ever be as a brother to her, The wild resolve that he would now acquiesce in her disappearancoas calmly as did her uncles disappeared. Ho would find her. He would go to her, take her hand, tell her the secret was his, coun- el hor, and, if it were possible, stand be- tween her and what she had to bear. But he knew now, or thought be knew, tho utmost that lifo had to give him, and he saw in it a sorry substitute for what | it had scomed to promiso only a fow days ago. Blame her! Why should he blaue her! How had she wronged him{ CHAPTER XXVIL A HELPING HAND. ! To make up one's mind; to vow to find a {oung woman who has disappeared without leaving a trace is ono thing—to find ber is another. The world is a place of considerable #ize, and chance meetings are noti=o common as tho conflding novel reader is asked to be- lieve. Buch was at least the experienco of bwo men, who, from different motives, were pqually anxious to find the fugitive, The Arst Maurico Hervey, the second Frank Car- Futhers. Hervey, who, having paid a second visit to Qakbury, had in some way managed tolearn that Beatrice, the boy and the nurse had gone bo London, bade a hasty adieu to Blacktown and returned to the capital. The more he studied the situation, the more apparent it became that, to use his own words, ho was In a cleft stick. Solong as Beatrice coild sonceal her whereabouts from him, so long was ho utterly holpless, He could, of course, pompass @ certain amount of revenge but the cost would be too terrific. However sweet a thing may be, it may be bought too dearly. He could walk boldly up to Sir Maingay Clauson and proclaim himsolf his son-in-law, He could go to these Talberts and show them that he married their nieco when she was little more than a school-girl. But what good would this dof His bolt ‘would be shot, and his quiver held no other. It might bring down Beatrice but not her money. He would have to deal with men of the world instead of a woman over whom he held the terror of exposure. He had one article to sell, silence, There was one cus- ++ = tomer for it, his wife, With her he could trade to advantage, but the moment he broke luck for another market his com- modity became all but valueless. Again, thero was that cursed clause in old Malbert’s will. Hervey could easily prove that Beatrico was his wife, but in doing so he also proved that she had married, when der age, without her trustees' consent, ind the said trustees could do almost ex- aetly as thoy liked with her fortune! Probe ably they would throw him two hundred a h 50 long as he kept out of the way. at was two hundred a year when we know that had he not insisted on bringing somo ono's head down to tho dust, he might have had ten times the amounti Why had he not taken the money and foregone his re- ‘vengel | In fact, Beatrice’s flight, alshough nob weffected for strategical reasons, was a mas- terpiece; a move which bound ber enemy d and foot. Savagely he looked forward the time when circumstances would force to take the best offer made him, Well he w that the moment Beatrice nerved her- to reveal the truth to her friends, the moment she elected to confess her girlish folly, and face what shame and blame might fbe due to her, every shred of power he held ‘would bo gone. 10 was, therefore, impera. give ho should find Beatrice and réopon ne- srfi.nlfinnn upon a basis more favorable to . Reflection and the risk be now ran of llosing everything made him inclined to lower (his demands. He would take fifteen hun- dred, even a half of his wife's income, and if she wished it would emter mto a regular doed of judicial separation. He would be silent solong as the money was paid or so fong as it paid him better to be silent, ‘What if he gave out that be was dead and waited until she had married againi Then his sway would be supreme. But to gain this advantugo be must lie silent, it might be for years, and in the meantime must somehow mako a living, Perhaps, after her former experience, she would not marry . Any way the state of his exchequer put a veto on the waiting scheme, He expectod no unextorted help from her. MHe looked for no mercy. Ho ha! mone. He had blasted her life; robbed her years of early womanhood of their sweet- i he had traded on the romance which for mercepary purposes, hal turned and crushed it out. He had shown bor, nay, had, in brutal words, told ber that ho bad aerried her to raise money in ordor to save himself from the penalty due to bis crime, He well knew what he had done, and know- dng this he had not even venturel at at- tempting to cajolo her when thoy measured strength at Blacktown. Had it been needed Abe stern set of her features—the scorn of showed | DAILY BEE~-COUNCIL BLUFFS, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 7. 188, per manner would have told him that he had no mercy to expect, that it was a duel between the two. He must find her! As the months went on the necessity of finding her became more and more obvious. He had, after the manner of a gambler, who feels that any hour may bring the great stroke of luck, lived luxuri- ously. His money bad by now so diminished that he saw he must shortly do one of thres things, find Beatrice, earn money or starve. The first, the most desirable course in every way, seemed impossibla, He had mads, both' in porson and_vicariously, such inquiries at Sir Maingay's house as could be made without exciting comment and sus- picion. He had even been down once mare to Onkbury, seen the Talberts, but had learnsd nothing to his advantage. So courss num- ber one could not be counted upon to meet the emergency. Course numbsr three, if the simplest, was the most unpleasant, so he was con- strained to adopt number two; at loast, pro- visionally, Before his disgrace Hervey had occasion- ally done some work for illustrated period- icals, As this branch of his late profession soomed to offer bim the best chance of sup- plying his needs, he called upon two or thres people whom hoe had known in former days, and who, moreover, knew what had caused his protracted absence. He simply said ho was anxious to redeem the past, and begged for a helping hand. Selfish as the world is supposed to be, there are many willing to belp a fallon man on to his legs. Hervey received ono or two promises, which might or might not lead to remunerative work. The months passed very dismally and drearjly for the second seeker, Frank Car- ruthers, He know not where to turn, where to look for Beatrice. However, he was bet- ter off than Hervey, for he had direct intel- ligence from her. Once a month she had written to her uncles, but her letters gave no clew that could be followed. They bore no address; they were posted in London; they mentioned no places, not even a country. She said sho was living an exceseingly quiet, calm life. She longed to see dear old Oak- bury again, and wondered if it would ever be her lot todo so. In each letter she re- gretted the necessity for the step she had taken and hoped that if ever her uncles knew her true reason for it they would forgive her, Bho trusted, nevertheless, that they would never learn it. The only hints at locality in any ono of her letters were that she men- tioned that the weather was bitterly cold, and also that she spent much timo_ studying art; was, indeed, learning to paint in ofls, These letters Herbert, who felt sympathy for his cousin, sent on to Frank, and Frank perused them again and again, endeavoring by the light ho had gained to read between the lines. And the more he read the more mystified he became. If Mrs. Rawlings' tale was true, there was something which Her- bert and Horace never could, never would forgive; yet Beatrico wrote as if forgivéness was not an impossibility,. Morcover, it struck Frank that her words expressed a doubt as to whether her uncles had learned the reason for her flight. When should he find her? When should he learn the whole truth? He searched her letters in vain for his own name, for any messago to him. The omission troubled him, not because he thought himself forgotten, but because it showed him that Beatrice felt there wasa fate, which nothing could overcome, keeping them apart. 8o her letters gave him no pe. ‘Had he boen an idle man Frank Carruthers could nover have borno thoso months of sus- pense. But he was hard, very hard at work on asecond book. Beliove me, a man does not write his worst when his heart is sad. A deficiency of the gastric juice or a supera- bundanca of lithio acid may ruin a man's work, but not necessarily grier. Toothache may prove fatal to inspiration, but heart- acho need not. So pending the appearance of his first book, which had_for some reason been delayed, Frank was busy with a suc- cessor. Aboat that first book, a satirical, semi- political riovel, which, by the by, made a greathit, Mr, Carruthers, like allnew writers, was psnervous and fidgety asa young hus- band whose beloved wife is for the first time about to increase the population. One day it struck him that the great work would be more taking if adorned with illustrations. Hao mentioned his idea to the publishers, who quite agreed with him, only adding that six full-pago illustrations would cost so many pounds, an expenso they did not feel justified in incurring. But if Mr. Carruthers liked > bear the cost, well and good, Frank, who had money to spare, said he would seo for how much he ¢. 11d get them done, He called upon a friend, a Mr. Field, who kpow all about such matters, and inquired wisere ho could find hands competent, yet nos too costly. And this friend happened to be one of those from whom Maurice Horvey had begged a helping hand. So it will be seon that the herinafter-mentioned moating between Carruthers and Hervey was, like all so-called chanco meetings, when trace back to its cause, quite a natural sequence, Indeed it ishard to see Low things could have happened otherwise. “There, a follow called on me a day or two ago,” said Mr., Field, “a fellow who's down on his luck now. He might suit you.” “Can you recommend him? What is his namef” I don't know that I can recommend him, but you may give him a trial. He calls himself Henry Morris. He's down on his luck as I said.” ““Write him a line and ask him to call on me,” said Carrutbers, who liked to help men down on their luck. ~“Is ho cluverr’ “Ho's been idlo s0 long I can’t say. Look here, Carruthers, make him do the drawings on approval; and if T were you I wouldu't give any money on account.” “Send him to me and Ill talk to him” Carruthers was just leaving the room when his friend called him back., “1 say, Carruthers, I'd better tell you, then you can't say Ididn't. This chap has beenin quod five years for forgery. His name's Maurice Hervey, I suppose he's out now on ticket of leave. He tells me he means to run straight for the future. Now you know all about it and can please your- Belf.” The consequence was that Carruthers, who held the same belief as him with ‘‘the harp of divers tones,” resolved to seo this man, and, moreover, to traat him as if he had no knowledge of his antecedents, Ho was glad to help any one back to the straight path. Carruthers, who hated the bother of cater- ing for himself, still lived at his hotel, He had taken an office in a quist street somo little way off. Here he spent the greater part of the day, writing his new book, cor- recting those delightful objects, the proofs of a first book, or thinking sadly of Bea- trice's and his own lot. This office was on the first floor and approached by a stecpish, straight flight of uncarpeted stairs, One morning he heard feet on the stairs; beard them stop on the little landing in front of the door which bore his name. Some ona knocked, and Frank shouted *‘Come in.” To his supreme astonishment in walked the man who had demanded Beatrice’s address and so outraged old Whittaker's sense of dignity, “What do you wantf F: brusquely. Hervey explained that Mr. Field had written to him and instructed him to call, so Carruthers knew that the man who was s0 anxious to find out Beatrice was a forger, felon and ticket-of-leave man. He raised his head and coldly scrutinized his visitor, Hervey until that moment had not recog- nized him, He did so then, and knew that the recoguition was mutual, All question of the original purpose which had brought about this meeting faded from the mind of each man, With each Beatrico was the one thought. W “WIll you give the address ¥ wanted when last we met " asked Hervey eagerly. I will not,” answered Carruthers shortly, Ho did not this time assert his inability to oblige his questioner, bocause he was un willing to confess that Beatrice's present abode was a secret kept even from her own friends. He had also made up his mind that nothing should tempt him to ask this ex- copvict a single guestion. An attempt to the truth through such A medtum as um would be a degradation, an insult tothe ‘woman he loved. | His visitor took the blunt refusal very badly. The truth is that Mr, Hervey's tem- per was not improving, or rather his com- mand of it was, from a sustained course of cigars and whisky and water, growing fitfal and intermittent, Besides, Carruthers had & way with him which was particularly frri- tating to those who had the misfortune to quarrel with him. On a previous occasion Hervey had found it almost more than he could put up with, However, with the ex- ception of slapping his hand on Frank's tablo he controlled himself for the present. “Imust insist upon your telling me,” he said; “Ihave to make an important business communication to Miss Clauson.” Carruthers smiled contemptuously. “Her trustees, the Mossrs, Talbert, of Oakbury, manage Miss Clauson's business, 1 bolieve. Or you might go to the family solicitor, ‘whose name I will give you.” “My business is of a private nature, I demand this address, Ihave a right to ask it Carruthers shrugged his shoulders, ele- vated his eyebrows in true Talbert fashion, and again smiled tha irritating smile, “My good sir,” he, said, ‘‘cannot you un- derstand that I absolutely refuse to gratify you! That a gentleman fs not justified in giving every one who asks it a lady's ad- dress] Go to ir Maingay Clauson, he is the proper person to apply to. Asto rights, I am certainly within my own if I ask you to leave my room. No doubt you see that the business which gave me the pleasure of this visit cannot be carried through.” Hervey scowled, hesitated and then walked out of the room. He was wise in so doing, s he miglit have said more than heintended; and a premature disclosure, indead, a disclo: suro at all, of tho truth would entirely ruin his clouded prospects. As, from lack of po- liteness, or flurry of discomfiture, he left the door ajar, Carruthers rose and walked across the room to close it. Just then the door opened and the two men confronted each other on the threshold. “If you write to Miss Clauson will you give her a messago from mol” asked Hervey with forced civility. *“Ihat depends exactly upon what the mes- sage may be."” “Will you tell her that I called on you and said the matter could now be easily arranged? There's no harm in that.” ‘‘There seems none. When I write Ill give it *You'd better mentibn my. real name, It's not Henry Morris—It's—' I am acquainted with your reel name,” said Frank, with perfect nonchalance, Her- vey grow very angry. “Now, I wonder who you may be,” he said, “you who write to her. Perhaps you'ré swoet on each other, and look forward to a happy marriage.” An incautiéus remark of the rogue's, yet one he could not refrain from making; nor could he refrain from eyeing Carruthers to see how tho shot told. Hard astho effort was, Carruthers preserved his equanimity, “Porhaps s0,” ho said carelessly. “Ican't, howover, imagine it can be of the slightest interost to you.” The scornful emphasis laid on the last word flicked Hervey likea whip. ““Perhaps sol” he echoed with his mocking laugh. ‘‘Ha, haldoyou think I'm a fool? Do you think you take me in with your studied ease! Don’t I know you're dying to know who I am and all about me!” “I know a good deal already,” said Frank. in scathing tones. “If I felt any wish to know more I should apply at Scotland Yard or wherever the proper offica may be.” This taunt was more than even the most amiable ticket-of-leave man could be expect- ed tolet pass. It finished Hevvey entirely. He boiled over. With the violent expletive Which invariably accompanies such an actho struck out full at tho speaker. This Carruthers was one of those decep- tive men who at first glanco gave little promise of much strength. Yet if his frame ‘was spare his shoulders were square, and all the weight be carried was bone and muscle, Ho may be summed upin the simple word wiry; and wiry men, as many a muscular- looking athlete knows to_ his cost, are not adversaries to be despised, " He was tar from being ono of those marvellous creatures, usually officers in the guards, who, in fiction at least, can crush upsilver flagons, toss with one hand a sixteen-stone ruffian over a ditch or a railing, but all the same he had his fair share of manly strength. After parrying Hervey's blow, he simply jerkad out his right arm to the very best of his knowledge and agility, throwing the whole weight of his body into it, and, in the language of what may now be called the re- vived prize ring, *‘got well home.” These were the only two blows struck, and for this reason: Hervey, when he Toceived Frank’s blow, was standing on the landing, Ho staggered back and went headlong down the steep stairs, It seemed as if his neck He staggered back and went headlong down the steep stairs, must be broken, However he gathered him- self up, grogned as in_pain, shook his fist at the victor, swore and then found his way out, Carruthers returned to his papers, but the reflections to which this interview gave rise made this afternoon & blank so far as literary work went, Two days after this his friend Field called onhim, “Isay, Carruthers,” he exclaimed, “'you’re a nice sort of young man, Isenta tellow who wanted a helping hand to you and, bang me! you gave it to him witha vengeance. Helped him down, not up, though,” ‘‘He's been to you, has hef" “Yes, ho called to-day—in oplints Said you insulted him, aud chucked him over the stairs, Can't think how youdid it. Doesn't seem like you, either,” “I had the best of reasons.” “So Itald him, but he won't beliove ma, ‘You've broken his fibula or tibula, or his tib and flbula.” “His leg! I saw the blackguard wall away."” “Perhaps I'm not right about the names, His arm is broken. He vows he will have compensation. Go to law, etcetera.” “Idon't think be will,” said Carruthers, Vi significantly, “Perhaps not, if your reasons were good ones. I don't ask them; but look here, old fellow. He's go* no money, and won't be able to earn any for awhile, ' Don't you think you ought to do something for h'm#’ “No, I dou't,” said Frank; but I will, Koeep the fellow away from me. But you can pay his doctor’s bill and let him have a pound or two s week until he gets all right ain " Field laughed. ““You'll find it a costly amusement breaking bones like this.” *My dear Field," said Frank, *if you knew all Iknow you'd think it was cheap at the price in this particular case.” Eo by a strange irony of fate for some weoks Maurice Hervey was fed and doo tored at'the expense of Frank Carruthers, [z0 BE cONTINUED, THE OHEAPEST PLACE IN OMAHA TO BUY Fol=Re=T={=f=t Is AT DEWEY & STONE One of he Best'and I.lr est dtocks in the United State: elect From.
