All this Uncle Horace told Beatrice In his
own fashi0n-all except the Wildcat episode,
That was past and zone; Frank was now
successful man, 30 his youthful sins "!ght DO
forgotten.
Beatrice until now knew nothing about her
fractional cousin. An intermittent and Ian
gushing correspondence had existed between
her mother and Mrs, CarTuthers but upon
the death OF his first wifo Sir Maingay had
not the least interest In keeping rp any form
OF relationship with Mrs, Carruthera II is
doubtful whether he even knew OF her exist
ence. The Talberta, who were far too proud
10 disown any OF her kin, had met the young
man several times and had liked what they
had seen OF him. They had asked him To
0akbury, and after excudng himself once or
twice he was now coming there
"Is he a clergyman asked Beatrice.
''Ho must be, suppose"
"No," said Herbert. HE never took
orders The fellowship he holds did not

"They ought all 10 bo like that Raid
Beatrice. "Men oughtnt 10 bo forced or
