haps, fully appreciated by such men who,
aftsr eying vacant seats enyiousy, have TO
enter carriage more than three parts full
Of people,
The train started, For while Beatrice
sat as one In reyerie Mrs Miller, who held
the boy, watched her face, Beatrice sighed,
looked up and met her companions gaze,
"He will follow us, she said, She tremble
as she spoke.
"Yes, II he can find us, Poor Ssarl II he
can do 30 he'll hunt you TO death, Wen go
where he can't find u.s. There wen wait
until be can trouble you no more, my sweet
"Ah, when will that bein sighed Beatrice
''When he IL struck down, When my
prayers are answered When you look ON his
dead face, and know that you are free'
"HushI hushI How can you dare TO pray
for mans deathl Even !, whom he has 30
wronged, could not force my lips to form
that prayer"
ooh, my dearl my dearl that ~ lifferent
You would be praying for yourself, God
would not listen; but pray only for you
and lie will"
"Sarah, be silent, said Beatrice, She had
always set her face sternly against her maids
religious flights, But Mrs, Miller's excite
ment had by now reached pitch which re-
sisted even Beatrice's commands,
"SeeIn she said In thrilling tones, which
made even the child open his eyes In wonder
ment, "last night sign came 10 me, adream
| looked down from somewhere and saw my
self as must be, az 1t was fixed | should be
before the world began, where the worm
dieth NOT
"My poor Sarah, be calm,'
"Whero the fire Ia not queichcd, / saw
myself and saw him, He was close at
hand On, God means TO strike, and soon,
very soonn
Her voco had such intensity, her eyes such
wild lock in them, that little Harry, who
had watched her In that spell-bound manner
common TO- reflective children, came 10 thg
conclusion that something was wrong, aDd
set up luoty roar,
"See,n said Beatrice, reproachfully, ''you
have frightened the boy,n
The woman grew calm at once, The blaze
Of fanaticiam tOdod from her face, and she
was onco moro the attentive nurse and faith
ful servant Tho train hurried them onwards
on their flight
Flight Yes Ii was flight Eloryey's

yiction, B0atrice never doubtel his Hsscr-
tion that although II might be impossible for
lin 10 force her 10 come TO his side, he could
legally take the boy from her She de,or-
mined TO fly, leave no trace, hide for awhile,
and lei the man IN her absence do his worst,
II he told her friends the tale of the marriage
II would at least savo her from the pain
Of 30 doing, She had not yet settled whittier
10 60, but she meant tonight 10 bo out OF
England
The little boy, az was usual when ho np-
peared IN public, had attracted much Nttcn-
tion while they waited on the BlNcGtown
platform, so great N the interest excited
by such perfect specimen Of childhood that
every woman and not a few mon turned and
looked after him. Az the first soppage u
lady who saw him through the window
actually fetched her husband out Of the
refreshmont room TO Look at his golden hair,
She was hut n young wife, or sh' might
havo known bcttcr. Pleasing as such admit
ration must hnyo been 10 Beatrice, II seemed
" trouble Mr.. Miller As the train ro-
Bumcd Us COURSE she turned 10 Ioairico,
Ut must bo done, my dear. II must bo
dono.n
Beatrice who now Ind tho boy, huggcd
him tightly, ~ won't--I can't do it,h Sho
said
1--WE shall be traced all over the world by
II, my dear" said Mrs, Miller, sadly
"Oh, SOrNhl II Is too crLol-too crucll
See, let us twist II up and hide IT,
Herewith she twisted up ilaTy's sunny
locks, turned them over on the top Of his head,
and fastened them with hNirpin, His cap
was replaced, and very comical the boy looked
with his hair growing upwards,
And very pretty he looked whom, n minute
afterwards thinking this was new sort Of
game, he shook of his cap, shook out tho
knot, and, prestol down foll tho glowing
cloud again.
II was tucked up again, TWAS shaken out
hgain-and again and again. II was fino
glance timidly at her maid who shook her
head ominously. 1--WE shall be followed every
whore, " she said, Beatrice sighed.
"He'll bo big boy In no time my pretty
said Sarah, "then II must como of, Don't
run the risk now, There's not such hair in
the three kingdoms"
Strange that woman who beloved no
implicitly in destiny, Mrs, Miller should bO
In her calm moments 10 calculating and foro-
seeing,
Beatrice kissed tho soft cloud, and said that
was why II was such sin, Sarah, without
n word, drew out a newspaper aud largo
pair OF bright scissors, Beatrice turned
away TO hide hor tears,
Sarah cut hole In tho contro Of the ncws.
pOper-a hole just big enough for tho boy TO
put his hood through, Ho did so, and thought
II great fun, His blue eyes danced with
delight, Hold the corners, mi@,n said
Sarah, Beatrice with Ovcrtcd eyes took up
two of them In her trembling hands, Tho
oruol work began.
