THE BEAU-RIVAGE.
A ROMANCE OF SWISS TRAVEL.
(CONCLUDED.)


From that time not one day of
happiness had shone upon the ia
ther and daughter. Miss Kendall
had been utterly miserable, fitful,
wayward sometimes seeming al
most as if her mind were shaken.
She did not seem to have had any
suspicion of the part her father
had taken in the Punishment of her
lover, and that was Kendall's only
comfort. When he found that his
daughters heart was really bound
up irrevocably with her lover, he
made energetic efforts to discover
poor Charlie's whereabouts, but
without success.
"Sir," he said to me, striking the
table as he spoke, "Fd give half my
fortune this moment to find that
unhappy young man. Inever car
ed for him. l was glad to be rid OF
him. But if his father had been q
murderer or hangman, | should not
care, where my poor girls happi-
ness is concerned. But Charles
West, I fancy, is either dead or
gone to the dogs"
had heard in China of the break
down and suicide of Charles fa-
ther, and, that poor Charlie himself
had disappeared. Indeed, I heard
afterward that some Of the family
had received tidings of his death
in Mexico or California. OF his
engagement to Miss Kendall 1 had
not heard.
Lately, Mr.. Kendall went on to
me, an offer of marriage of a most
desirable kind, had been made to
his daughter, by a gentleman Of
large fortune and high character,
member of Parliament, one who
would still be called young for
public man-in short, just the sort
of person a respectable British ia
ther would accept with pride and
delight as son-in-law. All the in
fluence Mr.. Kendall could exert he
had brought to bear to induce his
daughter to accept this gentleman,
and at last she had made a kind of
conditional surrender. She had
promised to marry Mr.. Patton, the
suitor, when he had heard fully the
story of her lover and her disap-
pointment. And Mr.. Patton had
heard, and was quite willing. Mr..
Patton, i presume, was what would
be called sensible man. He knew
perfectly well that many of his per-
sonal friends lived very happy with
wives who, according to all report,
had been crossed in love before
marriage and he saw nothing to
object to in the fact that Miss Ken
dali before she knew him had loved
somebody else. The somebody
else" was out of the way, was prob
ably dead; and, even were he alive
and near at hand, Mr.. Patton was
placidly satisfied that an English
lady married to Mr.. Patton, M. p,
would always conduct herself in
manner befitting the wife of such
a man. So poor Jennie Kendall
yielded and promised, and the mar
riagc was to take place in the be-
ginning of the next year; and
meantime the lover was to join her
father and herself at the Beau-Ri-
wage the moment he could escape
from the house of Commons; and
he had telegraphed that his coming
might bc looked for the very day

Drought 10 Charlie West. 1t was
a summons which not even his chiv-
alrous and fastidious spirit of indie
pendence could refuse to obey, for
on his obedience depended the
whole earthly happiness of the girl
he loved, and who so truly loved
him. at is more than a summons
from death to life," said Charlie to
himself; "It is o call from Tartarus
to Elysium. can tell you that
there were times when I felt to the
full what Tennyson-isn't it,
means when he speaks of lonely
hell. Lonely, don't you see, be-
cause no one cares for anybody,
loves anybody, ,pities anybody there;
but everyone is wrapped up in his
own misery" Yet it is to the cred-
it of Charles manly and generous
nature that not even in the full
flush and Joy of his recall to life
and happiness did he forget for
moment the dear friend who had
gone to death.
Charlie came to Lausanne. No
eyes but their own saw the first
meeting between him and the girl
who loved him so faithfully and so
fondly. Mr.. Patton, NJ. p, went
back to London, bearing his dis.
comfture like dignified English
gentleman, and Jennie Kendall
soon looked the brightest, happiest
woman at the dining table Of the
Beau-Rivage.
One odd fact I must mention.
Charlie West insisted that he never
passed along any balcony on tho
memorable night I have described.
He and his companions dined with
a Spanish gentlemen in a private
room of the Beau-Rivage. They
left rather early, and he remained
behind moment or two to ask
some questions of one Of the Of
ficials, and then followed his COM
panions. Rut he had no recollec-
ton of passing along q balcony,
and was sure he had never done so.
Therefore it pleased Miss Jennie
and himself to see in the whole in
cident q supernatural visitation
and intervention, providentially de-
signed to tell her that her lover liv-
} ed and was near her. did not care
to dispute it. My own conviction
was that Charlie, followed his COM
panions, lost his way, strayed from
corridor on the balcony, and from
the balcony to a corridor again,
never needed. Our room was in
darkness when he passed, while
the moonlight illumined his face
and figure; and thus he went on,
unconscious that the woman he
loved above all the earth was near
him and saw him. But neither he
nor she would ever yet-although
they have been more than a year
married and now have a baby-ac-
cept such an explanation. Why
should I insist upon itl If the
stars in their courses did really
pause to guide and unite my two
dear friends, that fact only adds the
deeper interest and mystery to my
romance of the Beau-Rivage.
