BY HUGH CONWAY, Author of *“Called Back” and “Dark Days CHAPTER XXXIV CONTINUED, “What will they say! What will they Frank smiled a sad little emile, “Dear Boatrice,” he said, ‘‘can you fancy either Horace or Herbert turning out a dog who camo o them for protection? That is,” he added, ‘4f the dog had not been in the mud.” Ah, Frank, but Ihave been in the mud,” said Beatrice sadly, “Thave years of mud 1t will never coma off, Frank.” asaman should, triel to console her, tried to persuade her {Lat the mud was after all noither so very black nor so She shook her head, said Beatrice, “it all comes back to the old cry—'If what has been done could only be undone!" " s," eaid Frank, “the cry of the first man who developed speech:; his thought perhaps before speech came to him; and so it will be the cry of the last man who stands on the weeck of the world.” There was silence onco moro until Frank broke it by repeating hi¢ original question. Béatrice told him she could not leave Munich until Sarah returned. “But sho is in London. Why not tele- graph to her? Tell ber to wait there.” “I would, but I do not know where to find her. Sho was going to her friends, Tho friend who postel my letters. Sarah used tosend them, but I never thought of asking the address.” ““And sho is making terms with this man,” said Frank rather bitterly, “is empowered to Jot this rufian rob you.” “Money is nothing. He can have all he wants if he will trouble me no more,” Carruthers bit his lips. He cared littlo for money as money, but it enraged him to think of this villain living in luxury at the exponse of the woman he had so wronged. However, he believed that when it camo to the Talberts having a voico in the matter, Hervey would find himself not so well off 08 he anticipated, “Frank,” said Beatrice, “I will leave with you as soon as she returns, I promise, Now Jet us talk of something else. We may bavo but a day or two longer here. Lot me have those days to look back upon—days of calm before the storm breaks.” Carruthers understood her. He forced himself to talk to her in something like bis old st b, if it could even be hollow. The imitation . atrica was grateful; if ouly to have her thoughts turned from tho one current, “No one can fully thing it is to bo I “until he has tour in German lize what a noble ,” said Frank, to London after a gratifying thing land for the first time comprohiend tho true mission of the great Teutonic race, hat mission?" lo find,” continued Frank, “that this great nation was created apparently for the purposa of supplying waiters to the English speaking races. 1t i3 a great patriotic truth which kas consoled me for many in- i 1 bave suffered from its ap- Then he told her about the strange people at his hotel in Munich. About the smart American girls who would call Paris “Parrus.” About all the other familiar tablo d'hote characters. “It amuses we most,” he said, “fo talk to the porteurs and waiters about the king. Every one has some fresh tale about his eccentricities. You know he turns night into day. Starts off driving at 1 jn the morning Yes, Beatrico had of course heard that. “Floats about on a lake, on top of tho palace, and fancies himself Lohongrin, Hides away frdm everyone—do you know why?? ““An unhappy love affair years ago,” said trice, “That may have bemn the origin of tho tomfoolery,” said Frank. *‘But tho reason he keeps himself hidden now is not roman- tie. He is growing so fat he is ashamed to show himself. Fancy a fat Lobengrin!” “I don't believe it,” said Beatrice indig- nantly, “Mostladies look upon King Ludwig as possessed of the bonuty of a Greek god,’ “It’s quite true, other night he sent for one of the singers from the opera. She bad to sit in a punt on the lake and sing to him. Fancy a prima donna in a punt sing- ing to an invisible king, Well, the punt was small and tho lady stout. Just in the middle of a grand cadenza over went the boat. What do you think the king did " “Naturally, pulled ber out,” “Not a bit of it. Ho rang a bell and walked away, leaving the poor thing to splash, Makos ono feel & republican to bear such things,” So Frank talked, but all his fooling was forced. They had been walking about aim- lessly, and scarcely noticing where, “Shall we go any where—to one of the galleries? asked Beatrice. 0,” said Frank., “It's too fine for pic- Let us go and look at the statue of Bavaria.” The statue being a long way off, they took one of those delightful little flacres, hired, including a coachman with a broad silver band round his bat, for some- thing like sixpenco the balf hour. One, al- most the only cne, relic of bygono cheap living in Munich, tures, They inspected the colossal statue, but did ot yield to the temptation of going up inta its head via the lag, They walked through the Hall of Fame at the back of the statue, But sight-sceing did them no more good than Frank's forced gayety, They were both sad at be: “Where shall we go nowf” asked Frank as they came back to the fis “Is there anything slse tosee abouthere?! He couched this question in curious German, and ad- dressed the driver. The driver said the south cemotery was not far off, don't like cometorios,” said Frank soubtfully, 1 do,” said Beatrice, cording to her wish, passed under the great arched en- trance to the place of tombs. Beatrice, who was now desp in sad thoughts, looked neither to the right nor left—and Frank was looking only at Beatrice, They walked straight into the great open space, and for awhile, with the bright May sun shining down on them, wandered about the forest of tombs, which, after the manner of all continental men al stones, looked untidy {rom the withered or tawdry wreaths which had been placed on them last All Souls' Day, and left to decay at ease, Carruthers was somewhat disappointed in the cemetery, Although this was his first visit to Munich, be fancied he bad read or heard that this cemetery was one of the finest in Europe. He told Beatrice ho was disappointed. “‘Perbaps the finest monuments are under the piazza,” she said, They walked across to the broad piazza which runs round the center space, As Beatrice bad suspected, the finest and most costly and artistic monuments wers against the wall. Some of them were magnificont works of art, but Carruthers paid them scant attention, Whether it was the mel- ancholy surroundings or the strain which at Beatrice's wish he had put upon himself 1o keep their conversation away from the subject ever uppermost in their hearts, ho could not tell, but it seemed to him that at this moment bis sorrow was more unen- durable, more abiding than ever, “This!®” he muttered. “To this it all comes, The end of love, the end of ambi- tion, of wealth, of poverty, of pain, of Joy. All come to it, and other ‘men and women walk over our graves and wonder who we were. Beatrice! Beatrice!” he cried, in a voice of exquisite agony, *‘we can live but once and our life is wasted I" Bravely as he bad borne himself, Carruth- ers bad ab last broken down, 8o they drove ac- Beatrice started. These words were the first which had been wrung from him which fmplied tho slightest reproach, It only wanted this to complete her misery, She bent her head and the tears ran from her eyes, Then she looked at Frank with a piti- ful, appealing gaze which went straight to his heart “I was a fool—a weak fool he said, “Forgive me.” you are wise, Oh, why was I ever tus go,” said Frank. “I hato this abode of dead mortality.” Bo with heavy hearts they walked along the broad piazza toward the entranco to the cemetery. Somehow their hands met, and they went hand in hand. Neither spoke, Carruthers was telling himself that be was weaker than he thought, that Lie could not bear the situation longer, Ho would see Beatrico safe in England, He would seo this man and insure her future peace. Then he would—ho must leave her, To seo her, hear her voice, touch her hand, yet know she could not be his was more than he could ask himself to bear, 80 as they walked down that piazza they felt that they were bidding each other a farewell which might well be eternal. No wonder their hands refused to part, As thoy drew mear to the entranco thoy passed what was to all appearanco a shop with a plato glass front opening on the pinz- za. In front of it were two or three men and women and several children; tho laste named on tip-toe, and flattening their flat Teutonic noses against the glass, Frank also glanced that way and saw such a curious sight that, in spite of his preoceupation, he stopped. A little way inside the glass was arranged on Lanks of evergreens aud flowers what soemed to bo a dozen dolls, of various sizes, but all large for dolls. Bach was dressed in smart long robes with tinsel and other deco- rations, and each doll bore a large number, A curions sight! Carruthers drew near and then the truth flasbed upon him, They wero dead babies! There, each in its little nestof Jeaves and flowers, they lay awaiting tho day of burial. ‘‘They are dead!” said Frank, turning to Beatrice, “Yes, I remember hearing it was the custom hero to let them wait like this; but I forgot all about it. A horriblo custom, is it not?? Is it a horrible custom? If startling to strangers, is it more horrible than the Kng- lish custom of letting the poor dead thing lie for days in an upper chamber, lio thera often until the last sight ono carries away of theloved one is a sight to be forgotton? Who has not known those fearful days which precede an English funeral? The fearful room with its boxed-up odor of death striving with those of sweet scented flowers, eau do Cologne and carbolic acid, It may soem harsh to bear away the poor dead clay at once, but not so harsh as the custom which joopards health for the sake of sentiment. Isit a horrible custom to think of a loved one exposed to the eyes of the public? Hor- riblo at first sight to watch women bring- ing children and lifting them up to see what lies bohind the gl But why should tho doad fear to face their fellow creatures gaze more than tho li Why sbould the living be taught that the sight of death is so to be dreaded? But if the sight is horrible to a stranger it is fascinating. Notics all who visit the Munich cemetery for the first time, If they peep in at one window of the wartsaal they will peep in at all. Beatrico anl Frank formed no exception to this rule, There are several of these windows. In the one next the babies they saw the body of all old priest. Ho lay on his slanting bier of evergreens, dréssed in his best clothes, hus cold hands holding the crucifix to his cold heart. Hs slept with peace written on bis sweet waxen éucu. ‘Was this horriblef And so to the end. With reverent eyes Frank and Beatrice saw them all, the poor dead things, lying on their green bi awaiting wterment, lying there with a wire fastened to the hand so that il life was by any chance to return, whether by night or by day, a bell must ring and bring aid, Lut they never ring for aid, these poor dead things! Frank and Beatrice turned away., It seemed to Frank, at least, that thé spec- tacle they had seen was a fitting ending to their excursion, They walked away slowly and in silence, - But they had not seen all. Ina roomatthe very entrance, so that comers and goers miglit the more readily notice it, lay the body of aman. Not on fragrant boughs, but on a plain slato bier, for there was' no one to authorizo the ex- penditure necessary to give it a bod of ever. greens. A black ¢loth was thrown across the body and the white face was turned toward the windoy. And Frank saw that white face and knew it—and Beatrico saw that white face and knew. She grasped Frank's arm, strove to speak, gavo o sharp cry and fell sousoless on the stones, Carrutherslifted her and bore her to the fiacre. Ho bade the man drive home at ouce. Baatrice revived. She looked at Frank in adazed way. ‘I dreamed—it was a dream!" slhe sail ina w bl?')r‘,r. Bealr ce saw that white face and knew, “It was no dream,” answered Carruthers in a hoarse, choked voice, Not another word was exchanged until they reached Beatrico's home, Here Frank wanted to accompany her to her rooms. She shook her head, “Go back, go back,” she whispered. *You v\ul' see to all, learn everything, will you not " Ho nodded, re-entered the carriage and drove back to the cemetery, The blood ran flercoly through his veins, This man, tho man who stood between him and happiness, dead! It could not bel Such things as this never happen in 1eal life, Some chance re- semblance must bave misled bim and Bea- trice. ~Will Carruthers, who had never yet wished a fellow creaturo dead, ba blamed because he trembled at the thoughti There was no mistake, He galned access to the room, He saw the body uncovered, saw the sling which had beon removed from tho broken arm, ~And as he stood and gazed at the dead man ho seemed to hear the voice of the strange servant begging him in wild accents to wait for Beatrice, Her prophecy had come true; her curious faith had not deceived her, Ho looked long on the white face. Pity, except the pity one feels for violent death, did not move his heart. But, nevertholpss, the man lying there had once been loved by Beatrico; ‘mizht, had he so willed, be loved by ber ‘even now. How strango it all seemed! At last be turned away, Ho had ‘to answer than questions; see suudry officials, Ho said he identified the man as ons Maurice Hervey, an artist, He could say nothing more about him—nothing about his friends. Ho bad exchanged very few words with him. Then be left money for the corpse to be removed to another wartsaal and decently laid ont. money for funeral expenses, and for a stone with M. H. on it to be put over the grave. They told him the funeral must take place o the morrow, Then be weat back to Bea- rice, She would not see him, so he left a note saying that all was done, The next day he stood over Maurice Hervey's grave. CHAPTER XXXV, OLD FRIENDS AOAIN, Ho did not sco her the next day, He called twice: the second time she semt word that she would rather not see him until to- morrow, She was not ill; she would only rather be left alone. So in a curious, in describable state of mind Mr. Carruthers spent the day in wandering about Munich, On the morrow he called and was ad- mitted. He found Beatrice Bho looked pale, but very beautiful. He noticed atonce a change in her manner, A certain ful timidity and shyness scemed to o fallen upon ber, which added a new charm to the girl he had hitherto found so calm and sell-possossed, Beatric, it may be, noticed a change also in Carruthors bearing. “Tell mo all,” sho said in low tones, as after a quiet greeting he took a chair near her, He told her all. How the man some nights ago had been picked up on the rai almost cut in two by the wheels of an e gine which had passed over him. How he had been carried into Munich and placed in the wartsaal. How, the usual formalitios having been observed, he had been left for identification, and then, with or without identification, for burial. He told her what instructions he himsolf had given, and how yestorday he saw his grave, Beatrice heard him without interruption. ‘When his recital was finished sho sat in deep thought. Frank watched her in silence, “How did he come there, on tho railroad, Imean” she asked at last, Frank shook his head. *No one can tell,” bo said. ““It might have been accident, it might have been suicide. From the position in which he was found tho authorities in- cline to the latter, But he had plenty of money in his pocket. I don't know bow much, for in theso cases the exact amount is never stated. Inshort, no one knows how it happenod.,” Frank spoke the truth. No one know. Tho railway tickets having been collectod long Lefore Munich was reached, for all tho officials of the train knew, Hervey and Mrs, Miller might havo disembarked with other passengers. Tho woman's box, which was rogistered through to Munich, was lying in the baggage office unclaimed, rhaps it lies thero till this day. Her hand bag went whero such things go when left in a train, Could the steward or the guard haye scen the dead body they might have recognized it as that of a passenger; but it was put out of sight long before the great train camo tearing_back from Constantinople. Sono one in Munich knew more than was embod- ied in the official report, “What brought him to Munich?® asked Beatrice. *‘How did he know I was here?" Frank could only shake his head again, “He must have seen Sarab,” she contin- ued, answering ber own question. ‘Ho must bave learned from her where I was, Why did she not write and tell me? Somo barm may bLave befallen ler. I wish she was back, “Would you like to ses his grave?” Frank er a pause, Bea shivered, , “I think not—unle 1l it unwomanly not to do so, " said Frank, “I can see no reason could I do at his grave?’ asked ftly and dreamily. “One goos to a grave to weep. I could not weep. After aload, which one has for years car- ried day and night, is lifted from the mind, one docs not weep, ono rejoices. Frank, I dare not stand over a grave and feel like that, Let me say I forgive him. I can do no more.” 'No one who knew all could ask more,” ““Speak nothing but good of the dead,’” she continued in the same dreamy way, Frank, I cannot recall any good of which to speak. For a few weeks I loved him, or thought Iloved him; but that was years, years ago. Ah me, thoso years! All I can now do is to say I will speak no evil of him, He is dead. 1 forgive him, and will try and forget him, For the first time the tears rose to her eyes. Therg was a long pause. Beatrico and Frank were now standing. He took her bands in his and held then “Beatrice—darling,” he whispered. “Do you remember the words you said a few days ago—said in this very room? When there seemad 1o chanes of happiness for you and me, Dearcst, all is now changed. 'Wa arc in anow world. Beatrice, will you say once more in our new world what you said in the old?” Lower and lower she bent her head, and the blush rose and deepened on her whito cheelt. Then she raised her head, and her gray eyes looked into his, “Let me leave youone moment,” she whis- pered. Without waiting for the permis she drew Ler hands from his and glided away, swiftly as she had left that evening at Hazlewood House, but this time without Jeaving Lim hopeless, Sbe came back in less than a minute, and ber boy came with ber. Holding him by the hand she stood and looked at Frank, He understood. He drew the boy to him, sat down and put the little fellow between his knees, Placing one hand on bis head, Lo looked up at Beatrice with a grave smile, “Dearest,” he said, “children may come to us or not; but this boy shall always be to me as my own son. Ho shall never mourn for his unknown father; never, I can hely, know shame covers tkat father's name,” He raised tbe child and kissed it. Harry, with whom Carruthers was always a prime favorite, put bis chubby arms round his friend’s n Beatrico watched them and smiled softl; Carruthers, after disengaging himself from the boy's embrace, put Lim gently aside, rose and held out his arms. Beatrice came to thom, laid her head on his shoulder and wept happy tears. He whispered words of passionato love, kissed hor in and again, and all the whilo Mastor Harry watched the two with childish attention, and wondered what wal tho meaning of tho s scene. At last they remembered his and Beatrice handed him over to Bavarian nurse—an act of expulsion which he much resented. Somehow, the thought that death alono bad given the right to love made Frank and Beatrice's love-making quiet and restrained, They were happy, of course, or Frank was, but not demonstratively happy. After he had told ber a thousand times that he loved her, Beatrice kneeled at his side and held his band. “Frank, my own Frauk,” she whisperod. “You will never bring the past up against moi I bave been wicked, deceitful, but, dearest, 1 have suffered for it. Frauk, you shall know every thought of my beart, I will be a true wife, If anything ever told me that the remembrance of the past made you doubt we, I should die—I should die, Frank.” Of course he took her in his arms and vowed she was the sweetest, truest, noblest, ete., ete. What, in fact, every ons vows in & position similar to bis, Then she asked him to leave her for awhile —leave her to think over all that had bap pened. He obeyed, He, too, wanted to think, Naturally ho called again later in the day, and the two began in a rational way to dis- cuss their plans for the future, Beatrice was very uneasy mbout Mrs. Miller. She blamed herself for not having taken the ad- dress which would reach her in London, It was settled tbat they should wait a woek longer in Munich, in the hopoe of hear- ing news of Beatrice's emissary, Then Car- ruthers spoke of something which all day he had been revolving in his mind, “ Listen, Beatrice, We aro to go back together aud your cause is now my own, There is something to bo faced, There are those who have a right to ask you to explain your absence, But thero is a right you give which will over-ride %, Dearest, let us return as husband and wite, BSbe flushed and trembled, bhow can It Bosoon i” Soon ! Beatrice, it is more than five yeurs. That man was dead to you more than five years ago. He died when your love died.” “Oh, Frank, “Troe! It is troe " “He died then, not now.” '*1 feel that 1donot ask you to do this for solfish reasons,” said Frank, “I ask it bee causo it is best for you. A fow montk gagement to you would not bo weariness, darling, This I must sacrifice,” His arms went around her and their lips mot, “Now for your answer,” he said. She placed ber hand in his. “Let it be as you will, my love, my lord. I have no will but yours—oh Frank, Frank! I feel that I can face anything, face anybody, o long as Iknow that we are not to bo parted—know that you aro to bs mine forever,” 8o they were married in Mun Why not! Who this dead man that he should statid between them? What had he done that he should be considered? That she should truthfully say that she forgave him- she would speak no evil of him, was all, nay more, then could be justly asked of the woman be had betrayed in even a baser and more callous way than the word usually means when applied to villains and women, Even when he mot his death was be not on his way to work her evil) Maurice Hervey dead a week agol No, the man she had known as Mauriee Horvey died when years ago he dropped his mask, and showed ber what lay underneath, Beatrice and Frank were married. They found an English nursemaid who was going home, T o *1 her to accompany them, and take care of the boy. Induo time they all reachel London. Beatrice's anxiety respecting her faithful sorvant had now grown ve reat; so the first thing they did was to try and gain tidings of her. Tho only thing they could do was to apply to the police; and soon after ths description of the missing woman was given they were told that it scemed to @nswer to that of a woman, unknown, who was in the pauper lunatic asylum. 8o to the asylum they went, andhaving been shown the clothes worn by the woman, knew that their fears were well founded. Frank had felt no doubt about the mattes The nurse's man- ner cn a certain night had assured him as to what the end would be, He told Beatrice 50. she murmured. was Beatrico was greatly shocked and dis- tressel. “Poor Sarah,” sho said, *she was never mad with me, I could*always calm lor. Sho was my right band for years, Frank, She helped me, tried to shield me—" here Beatrice blushed as painfal memories rose—“You will nover know how the poor thing loved me, Frank.” Nol Frank will never know, nor will his wife know how tho woman loved her, and what she did for her sakel Beatrice saw the doctor and questioned bim. Ho told her that the woman was in a bopeless state; what appeared to him to be the gloomicest, most incurablo kind of ro- ligions manin. The chances were sho would not live leng. Beatrico begged that sho might see hor. The doctor shook his head. An interview would do the patient harm. Beatrico would not believe this, and asked the doctor to tell her poor servant that sho here. Ho could judge from tho effectof tho news as to the advisability of a visit. The doctor hu- mored her. He soon returned and said that the mention of her name seemed to redoubla the poor woman’s delusio had turned her faco to the wall and made gestures of absoluto aversion. Frank drew Beatrice aside. “My dear girl,” he whispered, “dc upon it sha saw this man, let slip the of Munich, and knew that he was on bis way to you Tho grief at what she lad un- wittingly done quite upsat her poor brain. Ble is 5o trowblod at it that she will not see - you.” Beatrice went to the doctor. “Ob,” she seid impulsively and with tears in her eyes, “ill you go to her once more—only once, Tell her, try to make her understand that 1 ed and happy.” arruthers being a beautifnl woman in distress, the doctor, being a young man, obeyed, He soon came L shaking his head. It was nouse. The effect of his come munication bad boen such that he must strictly forbid a visit. It was, ho said, one of the commonest symptoms of such mania that the patient turned with aversion from those who had been most loved by her. Bo Beatrice sorrowfully gave up the strug- gle. All they could do was to see that Sarah was removed to a place where sho could be and where kind treatment was There, let it be said, she is now. 1not be for long, The doctors and the keepers know that the days of the poor mad woman, who spends eighteen hours of the twenty-four on her kness, are numbered, they had done all they could for Barah, Frank and Beatrice turned to thair own affairs. None of Beatrice's people knew of her being in London. Frank, of course, saw many acquaintances, but as Boatrice knew so few people their companionship created no remark. Upon inquiry at the hotel patronized by the Talberts, they learned that the brothers had not yet come up for their perennial v, but were oxpected next wee So one fine day Mr. and Mrs. Carruthers, the boy and his new nurse, went down to Blacktown, * * * * Our lorig lost, but, T hope, beloved friends, Horace and Herbert, wers one afternoon returning from Blacktown in the large wag- onette. As they came up the drive they saw something unusual—somethi; which mada t each other with dismay., On the front doorstep, sunning himself, and looking as if Hazlewood House and its appur- tenances were bis in foe simple, stood a little boy. No wonder, the moment some ono took the horses’ heads, that the Iberts jumped down to inquire what this apparition meant, The loss of the bright hai aving so changed the boy's appearance, they did not at t recogniza him, 50 no wonder that Horac2, who connected painful memories vith mysterious children, groaned out, ‘““another chill 1" They put their eye-glassos up and saw that the small stranger was making violent demonstrations of friendship, The dancing blue eyes which looked up at them seemed ¢ familiar, Herbert was the flrst to truth, * It is Beatries's boy I” he said. “Itis,” snid Horace, solemnly. To make sure they asked bim who be was and whence be came, He informed them that he was mother's bewitchful boy,” and he waved his arms to show that the distance he had coms was more than bis mind could grasp. Then here commenced his friendly advances, holding up his face in a way which showed he ex- pected to be kissed. He was so imperious and assertive that they yielded., Herbart bent down and kissed bim.
