through the town the next day Horace and
Herbert had an interview with Messrs
Furlong & Co, and ascertained that their
niece had taken one thousand pounds with
her.
When they came out of the bank they
found Frank missing. Indeed, he kept them
waiting fully five minutes before he reap
peared. He had just been round the corner,
he said, looking at some of the quaint old
Blacktown houses. The truth is he had
been to the Cat and Compasses," seen the
expansive widow d landlady, and ascer-
tained the address of her worthy FRIEND
Mrs Rawlings. No doubt the Tabprts
could have given him this, but he did not
care to trouble them for it.
As William Giles had accompanied his
masters in order to drive the horses back,
the Talberts until they were in the train,
could not make known to Frank the result
Of their inquiries at the bank Frank heard
the news gloomilv. The sum taken by
Beatrice showed that she meant her absence
to be a prolonged one.
"Did you get the numbers of the notesF'
he asked. They had not done So

changes can be traced back, and we shall
know where she is

said Herbert, admiringly
Horace said nothing Conscience told him
he would not have thought of it, but self.
respect bade him hide the fact.
In London they parted. The Talberts
went to their favorite hotel. and Frank who
wished to be quite free and unfcttered in his
researches, went to his. The next day the
brothers called on Sir Maingay Clauson, and
Frank found the way to l42 Gray street. the
purveying establishment Of Messrs. Raw
lings Bros
He asked for Mrs. Rawlings, and not know
ing whether it was Mrs John or Mrs. Joseph
was compelled to describe her as the one who
had been at Blacktown some few days ago.
That was Mrs. John. Mr. and Mrs John
were away Would not he back for at least
week. No one knew exactly where they
were. In their absence, caused perhaps b.
another wild goose chase after supposed
son, Frank was compelled to defer his re
searches. His heart was very heavy. 1t
seemed to him that he would only find Bea.
trice by the prosaic way of tracing back the
bank notes. He wished he had not suggested
this course to Horace and Herbert.
He went down to Oxford and settled his
affairs best he could He arranged with
Mordles friend, Fanshawe. brother coach
to take such pupils as he could send him. So
utterly unfit did he feel for work that he was
glad to think that his new appointment did
not become fact for six months: so that,
except for the book which he had to see
through the press, he would have nothing to
occupy him but the search for Beatrice
Horace and Herbert were more successful
in their call Sir Maingay was at home and
appeared delighted to see them But th-

say.

SO delighted, Herbert" exclaimed Sir Main.
gay How well YOU both look! never saw
you looking better"
They told him they were verv well.
You don't seem to grow day older
No family cares to vex YOU. Most men keep
young as bachelors. A family means re
sponsibility as well as pleasure, you know
Sir Maingay nodded his head contentedly a,
one who knows all about it,
I'VE have something to say to you about
Beatrice" said Horace.
