Carruthers, as was his custcm, called for
Beatrice early one morning Now that he
had firmly resolved that he must, would,

position which il seemed likely was to be his
for the future he could see no reason why
he should be debarred from enjoying every
moment of Beatrice's society. To say that
he was resigned to his fate would he absurd
No one is resigned to fate. One II compelled
to submit to its tyranny, that is all
OF course Frank was unhappy, and of
course Beatrice was unhappy. AT heart
they were as wretched as any sentimental
school girl could wish them to be amid such
circumstances. But all the same they were
not SO truly miserable as they imagined
Given two young lovers kept apart by fate
with "a lookout Of eternal darkness-with
ont even the hope of seeing hope glimmer in
the distance, SO long they know that each
loves the other, even as he or she loves her
or him; so long as they can see each other,
talk to each other, even if that talk must be
on Indifferent subjects, they can not be alto
gether unhappy.
This morning Beatrice left her boy in
charge of the smiling Bavarian servant and
went for a walk with Frank. 1t was fair
May morning, fairer pei haps elsewhere
than in Munich, which 10 dry dusty,
barren land. For some time they walked In
silence, and apparently without any settled
destination. BY and by Carruthers spoke.
"When do you think you will be ready to
return to England r. he asked. Her eyes
We're cast down. She did not answer his
question.
Beatrice, you will take my advice in

Her eyes filled with tears as she spoke.
Frank clenched his hands behind his back
What do you propose I What do you

II think we should go straight back to
England; straight to Oak bury. / will come
with you, and il you wish it, tell Horace
and Herbert everything"
What will they sayt What will they

me out of their house"
Frank smiled sal little smile. 'Dear
Beatrice" h. said, ''can you fancy either
Horace or Herbert turning out dog who
came to them for protectioni That is" he
added, ''if the dog had not been in the mudr
'Ah, Frank but have been in the mud"
said Beatrice sally. Il have years of mud
upon me. 1t will never come of, Frank"
Frank, as a man should, tried to console
her. tried to persuade her that the mud
was after all neither so very black nor so
very thick. She shook her head.
"Ah" said Beatrice, lit all comes back
TO the old cry-'If what has been done could
only be undonern
YES" said Frank, 'the cry Of the first
man who developed speech: his thought
perhaps before speech came to him. and so
it will De the cry of the last man who
stands on the wreck Ol the worldn
There was silence once more until Frank
broke il by repeating his original question.
Beatrice told him she could not leave
Munich until Sarah returned.
''But she is in London Why not tele-

asking the address"
And she is making terms with this man, -
said Frank rather bitterly, ''is empowered
TO let this ruiiian rob you"
'Money is nothing. He can have all he
wants If he will trouble me no more"
Carruthers bit his lips. He cared little
for money as money, but ii enraged him to

expense Of the woman he had so wronged

Carruthers understood her He forcei
himself to talk TO her in something like his
old style The mirth, il 1t could even he
called mirth, was hollow. The imitation
ran falsely. But Beatrice was grateful; If
