Terence flushed But even this state

1t was with heavy heart that Terence
/ went back to the studio, which he had left
/ in such high spirits only few days before.
/ His longing for the sea seemed to have
I been suddenly quenched. In its stead a

the Strand, only TO find that both brother
and sister had gone away, leaving no
address. He looked gloomy for a little
while after this, but elastic hope soon
sprang up again, ana ne returned TO his
studio and worked harder than ever.
About a month after this he saw in the
papers a paragraph which gave MIN more
pleasure than annoyance. II recorded the
capture OF remarkably clever young r3s-
cal, who was described as ''well-educated"
and "well-connected, =" with long list of
aliases among which was that OF Fred
Jellett." To Terence's relief his real
name, Burn, was not among them. There
was a long list OF charges against him,
the chief being theft more recent and
more daring than that Of the Alassio Ru-
bens, so that Terence hoped he might es-
cape being called as "a witness. This hope
was fulfilled, for influence being brought
to bear upon Lord COpleston, the viscOunt
declined to prosecute The later loser by
the mans predatory procliVities was, how
ever, not so lenient. and Fred Jellett'
was sentenced TO seven years penal SER
Vitude.
Terence's selfish thoughts now turned
wholly upon Bessie. Deserted by every
one. safe from her brothers influence,
would she not now be willing to take
the hand held out to herr The arrest of
Fred Jellett having set people talking,
Terence about this time overheard a man

He was Of respectable parentage, and ms
real name was Reginald Burn. He had
disgraced himself at Cambridge and had,
in consequence of later misconduct, been
cast of by his family, as Bessie had
said. He had an only sister who had
taken his part, and mad been thrown
over, also, in consequence by the fam
I lily, who affected, at least, to believe her
as bad as he.
Al this point of the narrative Terence
