CHAPTER XVI.
A TAME SURRENDER.

TAME SURRENDER.
This is true copy OF the letter which fell
like bombshell between the gentle and
peace-loving Talberts:
"BLACKTowN, Dec 81, 1S--To the
Messrs. Horace and Herbert Talbort: Gen
tlemen-We have this morning been con
suited by Mr.. Rawlings with reference to
your refusal to restore to him his child John
Rawlings, whom he lost about two years age
in a mysterious manner, and whom he has
recently discovered to be living in your
house.
The circumstances as explained to us by
our client tend to show that the child was
left by some person unknown in a railway
carriage, and that it eventually arrived at
your house, where, we understand, it has
since remained.
"Mr Rawlings will call at your house on
next Saturday afternoon, at o'clock, with
a carriage, and We trust you will, without
further opposition, allow the child to depart
with him.
In case you still refuse to give up the
child Mr. Rawlings has instructed us to take
immediate legal action to obtain possession
of his son, and we are informed that proper
legal proof az to the identity of the boy will
be hereafter adduced
1--WE are, gentlemen,
Your obedient servants,
"BLACKETT AND WIGGENs."
No wonder that after reading the last para
graph, and realizing the fact that the man
with the terrible name meant TO fight for his
offspring, Horace ejaculated 1.-THE child
must be given up" No wonder that Herbert
in his tam echoed his brothers exclamation.
Unimaginatve as they We're, dreadful pic
ture of the consequences of resistance fixed
itself on the mental retina OF each
But Beatrice was by far the most ayitated
Of the party. Her cheek grew white; the
hand which she mechanically held out for the
letter trcmbled. Herbert gave her the eps-
tolary bombshell, and whilst she rca it the
two brothers gazed at each other in that
sadly calm and gravely reflective way at
times natural to men whose min * FRO made
up that particular path Of duty must at al
cost be trodden to the end. Whon such
gaze passes from man to man it strengthens
the feet of each to tread the stony course.
Beatrice read the letter twice. Without
word she returned it to Herbert; then she
walked across the room TO the fireplace and
