bert's little womanlsn ways seemed part and
parcel of the pleasant home. She thought
of old Whitaker, of William Giles, of the
other servants. She thought, with a pang
of deeper regret, of Sylvanus Mordle, who
had also found in her the woman he could
love. She even thought of young Purton's
welLmeant but unsophisticated advances.
Then, of course, she thought of Carruthers

And Frank? Did Frank know, and if SO,
what did he think of her? Or, when he
knew, what would he think of hers Did be,
would he, curse her very memorys All, SO
far as her love was concerned there could be
no hoe for better days
At this juncture Beatrice broke down, just
as she had broken down when she refused
Franks love. She laid her head on thu
table and sobbed bitterly. Sarah returning
from posting her letter found her so, and of
course knelJ beside her, cried with her, and
soothed her

self up. groaned 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 a blank SO far as
literary work went
Two days after this his friend Field called
on him. II say, Carruthers," no exclaimed,

significantly.

CHAPTER XVIII,
" CANNOT LIVE THIS LIFEl q

O1AN'N'O1
Beatrice was at Munich. Munich, that
ital in Europe Munich, with its fair streets,
noble statues, palaces old and new, Libraries,
museums, art galleries, and fast fleeing
reputation for cheap living. Munich, which
stands boldly out on a barren plain, no
doubt feeling it has little which it need be
ashamed to show to the world, except per-
haps the vagaries Of the eccentric being, its
king.
Beatrice never quite knew what induced
her to choose the capital of Bavaria for her
resting place. Honestly, when she wrote
from London to her uncles, she had not set
tied whittier to wend her way. She might
then just as likely have gone to Paris, Brus
sells, Vienna OF Berlin as to Munich.
She fixed on Germany for various reasons,
She had that feeling, which Justly or un=
justly, is common to most English neopIe,
that an unprotected and not unattractive
woman is more free from annoyance in
German than in French town. She also
fancied she knew the German language bet
ter than she knew French The scientific
severity of the great Teuton;c tongue had
always charmed her She had studied it
deeply. She could read it in its classic forms
with a certain amount Of facility. she be-
1ieved she could speak it well enough for the
purposes of ordinary conversation. Alas! she
was but one Of the many who when gut
turals, compound words and divisibls par
ticiples are flying about like hail, find what
fraud is the boosted phonetic spelling, and
what an age it takes to feel at ones ease
amid the elephantine gamhols Of the I'M
wieldY language. Nevertheless, for the
above and other reasons she chose Germany.
As the party had left BIacktown provided
with no travelling indispensables, except the
most important of all, money, many pur-
chases had to be made in London. Ali were,
however, made in time te catch the evening
train to Dover, and that night Beatrice and
her charges crossed the channel Then it
seemed to her she was once mora able to
breathe. In London she had been haunted
by the dread that aerYey would follow AMI
find her. Onca out Of England she felt safe
Be it understood that Beatrice was not
flying from the shame which revelation of

opened and the two men confronted each
other on the threshold.
eff you write to Miss Clauson will you
give her message from me?" asked Hervey
with forced civility.
THAT depends exactly upon what the mes
sage may be-"
"Will you tell her that called on you and
said the matter could now be easily arranged?
There's no harm in that
''There seems none. When write I'll give
it,"
You'd better mention my real name. It's
not Henry Morris-It's-n
81 am acquainted with your real name,"
said Frank, with perfect nonchalance Her
vey grew very angry.
"Now, l wonder who you may be, !" he said,
''you who write to her. Perhaps you're sweet
on each other, and look forward to a. happy
marriage" An incautious remark Of the
rogue's, yet one he could not refrain from
making; nor could he refrain from cycling
Carruthers to see how the shot told. Hard
as the effort was Carruthers preserved his
equanimity.
'Perhaps so" he said carelessly IT can't,
however, imagine it can be of the slightest
interest to your The scornful emphasis laid
on the last word f1icked Hervey like whip
''Perhaps sop he echoed with his hooking
laugh 'sHa, ha do you think I'm fool?
Do you think you take me in with your
studied ease? Don't know you're dying to

in scathing tones. eff I felt any wish to
know more 1 should apply at Scotland Yard
Or wherever the proper office may be-"
This taunt was more than even the most
amiable tlcket-of-leave man could be expect
ed to let pass It finished Hervey entirely.
He boiled over. With the violent expletive
which invariably accompanies such an act he
struck out full at the speaker.
This Carruthers was one of those decep-
tive men who at first glance gave little
promise of much strength. Yet if his frame
was spare his shoulders were square, and all
the weight he carried was bone and muscle.
He may be summed up in the simple word
wlry; and wiry men, as many muscular
looking athlete knows to his cost, are not
adversaries to be despised He was far from
being one of those marvellous creatures,
usually officers in the guards, who, in fiction
at least, can crush up silver fagons, toss
with one hand siXteen-stone ruffian over q
ditch or railing, but all the same he had
his fair share of manly strength
After parrying Hervey's blow, he simply
jerked 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 received
Franks blow, was standing on the landing.
He staggered back and went headlong down
the steep stairs. 1t seemed as if his neck

Beatrice unused. After all, the suggestion

Mrs. Miller seemed on thorns of suspense.

So the 'shorn lamb" as he was now called,
came to his mother, and all the afternoon
Beatrice considered Mrs. Miller's proposal.
The more she considered the more inclined
she felt to give it her countenance.
In the evening she told her she might go.
She gave her many instructions which were
not to be exceeded. She was to find Hervey
and hear his demands. She was to be firm,
and above all have it clearly understood that
he must sign deed of separation, in which
he relineuished all claim to the boy. Mrs.
Miller nodded grimly. She was not likely

So it was arranged. Fully one-half of that
night was spent by Mrs. Miller on her knees.
She was alone-Harry slept with his mother
as often as with his nurse-so she could offer
up her wild prayers without interruption.

night. For what did she pray? Perhaps ii

A Day of Memories.

I'm day like this. when the streets are wet,
When the skies are gray and the rain IS
falling,
How can you hinder an old regfet,
From rising out of its grave and calling
Calling to you, with voice so shrlli
That 1t scares the reason and Stuns the Will.
On a day like this when the sun is hid,
And you and your heart are housed together,
If memories come to you all untold,
And something suddenly vets your lid,
like Gust Of the outdoor weather,
Why, who is at fault but the dim old day.
Too dark for labor, too dull for play ?
On a day like this, that is blurred and gray,
When the rain drips down in ceaseless fashion,
If a dream that you banished and put away,
Comes back to stare in your face and say
Mute, eloquent words of passion;
If the whole vast universe seems am1ss,
Why, who can help It, a day like this

A Musical I.eception.

Last evening the members of the
Choral and Quintette Club gave a recep-
ton to their friends at the Gymnasium.
1t was one of the pleasantest affairs that

the audience, while the singers were up

The programme was exceIlently rendered
from beginning to end. The result of
steady practice and the careful training
by Mr.. Yarndley was very apparent.

Public Baths.
lDemorest's Monthly.l

Some of the most splendid works of
ancient Rome were its public baths. Their
remains are to-day the wonder of all who
visit the imperial city. 1t is evident that
the Romans under the emperors were
more cleanlY people than the ordinary
dweller in our modern large cities. 1t is
noticeable that in all capitals of the world
to-day there is a disposition to initiate the
Romans. Public baths are recognized as
being as essential as common schools
Public health can be preserved in no bet
ter ways than in providing means for
keeping the mass of the population clean.
We are rediscovering also a fact we'll
known to the Romans, that hot air and
vapor baths have a therapeutic value
They cure diseases of various kinds.
The public baths of Vienna almost vie
with some of the Roman baths, and are
the finest in the world The building is
situated in the heart of the city, is go
feet In length and 176 in width. and has
accommodations for !, 500 persons at one
time. There are also accommodations
for women. In New York and other of
our large cities free baths in summer were
first looked upon as an experiment, but
are now regarded as a necessity, and
their popularity yearly increases. Other
large capitals, such as London aud Paris
are hindered in providing bathing facili-
ties. because of the difficulty OF procuring
sufficient water; but from the tendencies
of the age it is very clear that before the
twentieth century has far advanced, the
public baths of the modern world will vie
with those of ancient Rome, not only in
general utility but in splendor.

CannIbaIrsln among Rats.


MIR. w. Matthew Williams believes
that rats are, upon occasion, voracious
cannibals, devouring one another by
wholesale and without mercy. Being
troubled beyond endurance by these
pests. and getting no relief from dogs,
ferrets, and cats, and fearing poison, he
tried the effects of stuffing he holes with
broken glass. This was successful and
some curious results acc ompanied the
clearance. At first there were streaks of
blood on the kitchen floor in considera-
bic quantity. and distributed over it
These appeared on several mornings. at
about the same time. and subsequently,
much scampering and screaming was
heard beneath. This was followed by a
rapid reduction of the number of the
enemy. My theory. says Mr. Williams.
Is, that when any one rat was wounded
0y the glass, the scent of blood excited
the voracity of the others, and cannibal
struggle occurred that this continued
till extirpation followed-the more fight
Ing the more bloodshed and the more
cannibslism.
Mr.. F. H Halfpenny partly confirms
this view In Science Gossip, where he
says that the black rat is still to be met
with at most OF the London docks; that
the Norway or sewer rat not only Kills its
victim, but devours it. He describes
skins Of freshly killed black rats turned
inside out, and found in various drawers,
boxes, etc, and states that this treatment
OF their victims is usual with rats. AS an
experiment. MIR. Halfpenny gave the car
casS OF a white rat to one of the black
and white variety. 1t was eaten, only a
few bones of the head remaining attached
70 the everted skin.
