A FAMILY AFFAIR
BY HUGH CONW AY,
Continued from last aoeek. ].

There, if you please, said Beatrice, hand
ing him paper. Mordle stared, and could
scarcely repress cry of surprise Thepaper
bore the words, ''The Cat and Compasses,
MARKET Lane" He wondered what The
world Miss Clauson could want at fifth
rate Blaclztown inn. However, he gave the
order, and in due time the cab drew up at its
guphonical destination.
The ''Cat and Compasses" was an Inn
which had seen better, much better, days, on
the strength of which it still ventured to call
itself a family and commercial hotel. Per-
haps it spoke the truth; perhaps its assertion
was but laudable evidence of desire to
regainits former status. Itstood in narrow
street very near to Blacktown market, and,
very last place at which either a family, or
even one Of those dashing representatives Of
commerce of our day, would dream of stay
ing 1t boosted billiard room, built over q
stable at the back, and approached by step
ladder. Saving this, its attractions were
few, beyond the gay looking bottles and neat
little kegs ranged temptingly on shelves
above a battered but bright pewter counter
cheerful gauntlet to be run by all who
entered the house itself What could bring
Miss Clauson to such place?
Simply this: the widowed landlady of the
house was an old friend of Mr.. and Mrs
Rawlings. These respectable people were
staying with her, and Beatrice had learned
the address given to her uncles. Her bust
ness was to see Mrs. Rawlings.
As the cab stopped Sylvanus, who knew
nothing of the claim made on little Harry's
person, looked inquiringly at his companion.
He saw that Beatrice had at glance taken
in the rather disreputable look of the 'Cat
and Compasses," which was doubtless un-
fairly enhanced by man with sodden,
gin-besieged face, who leaned against the
doorpost smoking a short pipe. He saw,
moreover, that Beatrice appeared agitated.

Free at last! Free to turn where he liked,
and, within the limits of the law. do as ne
liked; in splendid health; in the prime OF
manhood Free to redeem or cancel the past
by honest work, or by dishonesty sink lower
and lower in the future. In his pocket the
sum of five pounds seventeen shlllings anu
sixpence, the result of years OF self-enforced
good conduct and unavoidable hard LABOR.
The lingering of this money gave him new,
or at least awoke dormant sensation. IL
was more than four years since his hands
had touched a coin Of the realm. Think OF
that and realize what penal servitude means.
The first use he made of his liberty and
money was characteristic, and fear may
awaken indulgent sympathy in the minds OF
the majority of man mot woman-) kind.
He went into tobacconist's and bought
ninepenny cigar. He lit it, sat down upon
chair in the shop and for some minutes
smoked in blissful, contented silence. The
shopkeeper eyed his customer narrowly. HIS
general appearance, especially the look OF his
hands, did not seem compatible with what
the tradesnan called "ninepenny smoke
gent" Hervey caught the mans eyes fixed
on his hands. He himself glanced at them
with look of disgust and muttered curse.
Years of turf carrying and digging and delv-
ing for Portland stone play havoc with q
gentleman's hands. Hervey's nails were
broken, blunted and stunted; his fingers
were thickened and hardened. Altogether
bis hands were such as person solicitous as
to the refinement of his personal appearance
would prefer to keep in his pockets.
There were other aculons which showed
the ticket-of-leave man to be possessed of a
fastidious nature. The first enthralling
solemnity of the rebound enjoyment of good
tobacco having passed off, he left the shop
and went in search of ready-made clothing
establishment. Here he bought a shirt and
collar, pair of shining boots hat, gloves,
and cheap suit which for few days would
hang together and present an appearance
almost fashionable. He asked permission to
change his apparel on the premises. Then
having had brown paper parcel made of
the suit presented to him by a generous
government he went his way, no doubt
much relieved by the ame1ioration of his ex-
ternal condition.
After few more purchases needed by a
gentleman for his toilet, he found his money
had dwindled down to very little. He had,
however, enough left to buy a shiny black
bag. Into this he tumbled his parcels, and
hailing hanson paid his last shilling to be
conveyed to the door of well-known hotel.
A luxurious dog this convict
He engaged a bedroom. He ordered a
dinner of which even Horace and Herbert
might have approved. He rang for hot
water, and spent half an hour soaking his
hardened and disfgured hands. He scowled
as he realized the painful fact that hundreds
of gallons of hot water and months of time
must be expended before these badly-used
members in any way resumed their original
appearance. Then, without shilling in his
pocket, he went to his dinner, with which he

in trouble and in secrecy. Now will you or
your husband dare to lay claim to him-dare
to swear it belongs to yous Answer mel''
sob, dear! Oh, dear, dear!' calculated
Mrs. Rawlings Beatrice's face was pale as
death She breathed quickly, as one in pain.
Now, that her hand was forced, now that the
guarded secret of her life was wrested from
her, she seemed to speak like one who, having
told the worst, cares little what follows.
"Save myself and one other no one knows
Hts birth. Iloved it and longed to have
it ever with me. But for years | scarcely
dared to see it. Then came chance I

doing. had my child and could love it and
care for it. I was all but happy. And now,
for what can be of no benefit to you, you
will force me to tell my tale to the world or
part with my child. Yet you are woman,
and must have woman's hearty
She looked at Mrs, Rawlings and saw that
tears were in her eyes.
''I believe you are kind" continued Bea-
trice in softer voice. 'You have forced
me to tell you all. But believe you will
keep my secret and help me to keep it," She
did not mean to sue, nevertheless there was
an imploring tone in her voice. Mrs. Raw
Iings clasped her plump hands together; the
tears streamed down her cheeks. In spite of
years of practice in plating up those mystic
rious white integuments whose fanciful
shapes adorn shops where pork is sold, the
worthy woman was still humane at heart.
ooh, my poor young lady! My poor young
lady!" she cried. "You SO young, so proud
looking, so beautifully To be led astray! Oh,
deari oh deari What villains men are, both
high and low!"
Miss Clauson flushed to the roots of her
hair. She seemed about to speak, but checked
herself. You are satisfied mower she asked
after pause.
''Oh, yes, miss, Oh, I am SO sorry for you.
You were right to trust me, Not word

be disappointed"
"Will any sum of money" began Bea-
trice rather timidly.
"Oh, no, miss Although Rawlings has
neglected business dreadfully for the last

TWO years, and his brother is grumpnng, we
are fairly well-to-do people with a tidy bit
saved Oh, no, my man is single-eyed. He
only wanted his boy"
''How was your child lost?' asked Bea-
trice.
Mrs. Rawlings looked rather confused.
1T can't help believing, miss, that the poor
little fellow was drowned and never found.
But Rawlings he won't have it SO. He says
he was stolen and we shall find him some
day.
After this Miss Clauson thanked her hostess
with grave dignity. Then she dropped her
veil and attended by Mrs. Rawlings went
back to the cab and Sylvanus. She had
gained her end, but at a price only known to
herself. What it had cost her to reveal the
secret of her life to that strange woman can
scarcely be over estimated Such was her
feeling of degradation that she almost wished
that her unc1es had been in the room when
yesterday she went with the child in her
hand to tell them what she had to-day told
Mrs Rawlings. "And after ALL" she muir
INJURED with bitter smile on her face, ''it is
but staving off the crash which must come
sooner or later" Here she sighed involun-
tarily. Mordles quick ear caught thesound.
''Nothing unpleasant happened, I hope?' he
asked.
s'My business was not of the pleasantest
nature, but I accomplished it successfully
replied Beatrice
He said no more. By her desire she was
set down at one of the principal shops in
Blacktown, an emporium of articles of femi-
nine need into which Mordle could not ven
ture to accompany her, She thanked him
for his services, and he knew that those
thanks were a dismissal. He strobe back to
Oakbury looking very thoughtful indeed it
was not until he was well into his own parish
that he remembered the necessity of resum-
ing his usual cheerful air. eft must have
been charitable" he muttered. "But why
the secrecy? Why the Cat and Com
passesY"
Saturday came. All that morning, the
busiest of the week, Horace and Herbert
were fidgety and uncomfortable Long be-
fore the hour fixed by Messrs. Blackett &
Wiggens for the appearance of their clients
carriage the brothers were glancing down
the drive. Miss Clauson, however, appeared
calm and at her ease. Her woman's instinct
told her that all danger from the claimants
was at an end. About Q o'clock Horace
turned to her. ''My dear" he said, ''has
Mrs. Miller made any preparation for the
child's departure?"
'None whatever. He will not be sent for.
1t was but an idle threat''
Horace and Herbert exchanged glances.
They knew it was no idle threat, but they
little knew how the fulf1lment had been
averted.
Three o'clock came-four-fiv o'clock
but no carriage, no Rawlings, no Blackett.
no Wiggens. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
passed without any sign or manifestation OF
hostility. The Talberts were then bound tc
confess that their niece had judged Alright.
Beatrice appears to be remarkably clear
sighted, +" said Horace.
Remarkably SO, answered Herbert.
But had Sylvanus Mordle, who spent the
evening with them, committed breach Oh
faith and mentioned his excursion with Miss
Clauson, the brothers might have suspected
they had credited their niece with quality
to which she had no title
