and me. Dearest, all is now changed. We
are in new world Beatrice, will you say
once more in onr new world what you said
In the oldf'
Lower and lower she bent her head, and
the blush rose and decpened on her white
cheek. Then she raised her head, and her
gray eyes looked into his.
"Lct me leave you one moment she whis-
pered. without waiting for the permission
she drew her hands from his and glided
away, swiftly as she had left that evening
at Hazlewood House, but this time without
leaving him hopeless.
Sne came back in less than n minute, and
her boy came with her. Holding him 10y
the hand she stood and looked at Frank.
He understood. He drew the boy to him.
sat down and put the little fellow between
his knees Placing one hand on his head,
he looked up at Beatrice with a grave
smile.
Dearest" he said, "children may come
to us OF not; but this boy shall always be
10 me as my own son. He shall never
mourn for his unknown father; never, IL
can help, know shame covers tfat fathers
name"
He raised the child and kissed it, Harry,
with whom Carruthers was always a prime
favorite, put his chubby arms round his
friends neck. Beatrice watched them and
smiled softly.
Carruthcrs after disensaging himself
from the boys embrace, put him gently
aside, rose and held out his arms. Beatrice
came to them, laid heI head on his shoulder
and wept happy toars He whispered words
Of passionate love, kissed her again and
again, and all the while Master Harry
watched the two with childish attention,
and wondered what was the meaning Of the
curious scene At last they remembered his
presence, and Beatrice handed him over to
his Bavarian nurse-an act of expulsion
which he much resented
Somehow, the thought that death alone
had given the right to love made Frank and
Beatrice's lovc-making quiet and restrained.
They were happy, Of course, or Frank was,
but not onstratively happy. After he
had told her a thousand times thnt he love,i
her, Beatrice kneeled at his side and held his
hand.
Frank my own Frank she whispered.
"You will never bring the past up aSains.

dearest, l have suffered Tor it. Frank, you
shall know every thought Of my heart
will be true wife If any thing ever told
me that the remembrance of the past mad,

Frank"
Of course he took her In his arms and
vowed she was the sweetest, truest, noblest,
etc, etc. What, in fact, every one VOWS in
position similar to his.
Then she asked him to leave hGr for awhl
leave her to think over all that had haJ
pcned. He obeyed. He, too, wanted I,
think.
Naturally he called again later in the day
and the two began In rational way to dis.
cuss their plans for the future. Beatrice
was very uneasy about Mrs. Miller She
blamed herself for not having taken tho ad.
dress which would reach her in Loudon.
1t was settled that they should wait
week longer in Munich, in the hope Of hear
ing news of Beatrice's emissary. Then Car
ruthers spoke Of something which all day he
had been revolving in his mind.
Listen, Beatrice. We are TO go back
together and your cause is now my own
There is something to be faced. There are
those who have right to ask you to explain
your absence. But there is a right you can
give which will override all others.
Dearest, let us return as husband and
wife"
She flushed and trembled. "Oh, Frank,
