Rcatrix went in search of Mr.. LennOX
She never enjoyed anything very mucl
unless her uncle shared in it.
"~I.i>t"n. UNCLE" she said-"I have
found hrro-iistcn To what my hero la.
done"
In her clear. sweet voice. that seemed
10 Thrill! with passionate emotion, she read
the story again. and then she laid down
the newspaper.
SHE was only !: servant goirl, uncle;
but i, s.Hns to me that the more lOwly
the lot. The more striking is such gener-
Osity. Had she been rich and had in1u-
ence, M uight have hoped for some re-
ward: Us it was. he could not hive ex-
rccted nty. Uncle. l am glad that l rcnd
this. shall always believe i'll heroes
now"
HE is II clever man M we'll as a good
one" sud Peter Icnnox. II tell you
what, Eratrix-I am SURE to drift into IL
lawsuit, with the Eastern Mining Com
pany: | shall place it in his hands. 1t
will be worth several hundred pounds to
him"
When will that begin. unclcy' she
asked.
Not tor some time he replied. II
must have their answer first"
II should like to see MIR. Carcw, and
toll him what l think of him." she said.
$50 should l." added her uncle. IF
he wins my case. l shall lie delighted.
That Eastern Mining Company is a COM
plcte swimdle, although l am not prepar-
ed to prove it just yet" SO saying, Peter
Lennon quilted the room. leaving his
niece with the newspaper still in her
hand.
"Rcltran Carcw." she repeated to her
self. ~ like the name. 1t is II beautiful
namc 'Reltrnn' brings before me the
picture of IL bcltcd knight. 'Cnrew' all
ways had ii noble sound. ! wonder il 1
shat! ever see Bcltran Carcw! wonder
if he is like my idcal?"
4 few days after this the Duchess of
Elmslic srnt to ask if BcatriX would drive
out with her: aud. having no special en-
gascmcnt. she consented.
II have Il whim this morning. BratriN.
said her gcdmotllcr. land with me Il" have
Il whim means gratifying it"
What is IL wllim!" asked RcatriN.
~ am going to srr Mrs. Carrw. How
we'll you look in those trailing black lncrs.
Beatrix. They suit you so we'll. Yes, l
am going to see Mrs. carcw."
"Who is Mrs. Carrw:'
The duchess opened her tine blue eyes.
"f'avc you not heard of Mrs. Carrw!:"
she said. ''Thcn l will tell you about
her. To begin with-slic is 81 wonderful
woman. 81 perfect wonder. She must tie
more than forty: yet she has the look. the
manners. and the grace of II girl Of TWEEN
ty. She is witty: and even her husband
whom i really consider most dense. SO
far as understanding gocs-can under
stand her jcsts, and laughs ut them. She
has pretty ways; she is charming in Al
drawing room."
But who is shc.' asked Rcatrix. al
most imrntiently. You have not told me
who she is"
Mrs. Capcw is an artist" replied her
grace. but an artist such as the world
does no, often see. She paints portraits
and such portraits! They are master
pieces of art. She will not paint every
one. She selects her subjects, l assure
you. Mrs. Carew came to London some
twenty-five years ago. and she has con-
quered her world. 1t is one OF the things
that every one wants. to nave IL portrait
painted by Mrs. Cnrew. You must have
yours painted, Bcatrix. as Duchess Of
Hca.hland.'
