was the head Of his family. He was going to
give Beatrice away tomorrow; indeed, Beatrice
would drive TO the church from Rashborough'
town house, though the reception was in the
Royal Palace Hotel
Beatrice passed her hand across her face weari-

her thoughts very far away. AS she turned sud

hesitation towards the door.
"T am afraid" the stranger said in a soft,
pleading voice; "I am afraid that have made a
mistake"

have come to see Sir Charles Darryl, why, |

II struck Beatrice just for moment that here
was an adventufer after the silver plate. But
glance at the smooth, sorrowful face beat down
the suspicion as quickly as it had risen. The
intruder was unmistakably lady, she was
dressed from head to foot in silver grey, and had
bonnet to match In some vague way she re-
minded Beatrice Of a hospital nurse, and then
again of some grande dame in one of the odfash-
ioned country houses

NO. no." Beatrice cried quickly. 'Please
don't. Perhaps if you tell me your name may
be in position to help you to find anybody you
may chance"
The stranger shook her head as she stood in
the doorway. Her voice was low and sweet as
she replied.
'It does not in the least matter" she said.

disappear. Very quickly Beatrice changed her
seat, so that she could command view of the
drawng-room without herself being seen. The
side door opened and Mark Nentmore came in
again. He carried a tray still, but he no longer
looked like a waiter. With one quick glance
around him he advanced to Beatrice and knelt
by the side of her chair
'Nly darling" he whispered. "Oh, my dear
little love! Am too late?" Nentmore's arm
stole about her; her head dropped to his shou
der. There was a faint, unsteady smile on the
girls lips as Ventmore bent and kissed her pas
sionately.

"Oh, fear so; fear So" Beatrice murmured
"If you had come a week ago / should have ask

ALL And yet, if had done so, my father would
have been ruined and disgraced"
Mark Nentmore moved his shoulders little
impatently.

was always very good at those insinuations. He
has played upon your feelings, of course, sweet
heart"
"Not this time, Mark. He has mixed himself
up in some disgraceful City business. a prose

tea, strong tea, without milk or sugar"
The waiter bowed and retired Beatrice sat
there with her head back as if utterly worn out,
though her heart was beating thick and fast. She
looked up again presently waiter entered
leaving the necessary things on a tray. 1t was
not the same waiter but taller, fairer man
who bowed as he held out the silver salver.
"The tea, Madame" he said. MAY / be al

The last word was no more than a whisper.
Beatrice checked the cry that came to her lips.

Charles, who was bending tendery over the very
pretty woman on his right hand. Apparently
the baronet had not single care in the world.
Bennington gave him quick glance of contempt.
'I do not see what Sir Charles has to do with
it," he said.

atrice said. "Does ne not look happy and pros

Here's that confounded waiter again"
Beatrice felt inclined to laugh Historically at
Berrington's sudden change of tone. The dark
eyed Swiss waiter was bending over the girls
chair again with a supplicatng suggestion that
she should try little wine of some sort. He
had clean list in his hand. and even Berring-
toms severest military frown did not suffice to
scare him away,
"Ver' excellent wine," he murmured. "a lit.

With an nsistence worthy of better cause.

words were few but significant. "In the little

can see how ceverly he has done it. Look here!''
Beatrice displayed the card with the penciled
words upon it, Berrngtons quick intelligence
took everything in at a glance.
"Of course that is intended for you," he said
"a neat handwriting. And yet in some way il

about the room.
Good morning, miss, she said "a lovely
morning, And if there's any truth in the saying
that 'happy's the bride that the sun shines on
why"
The maid stopped and smiled before she caught
sight of Beatrices pale, set face.
81 suppose you think I am to be envied?" Be
atrce asked. "You have a sweetheart I sup
pose?"
"Oh yes, miss. He's in shop Some day he
hopes to have shop of his own, and then"
"And then you will be married. You love him

Beatrice stopped, conscious of the fact that she
was saying too much. She ate sparingly enough
of her breakfast she went down to the drawing
room and wrote few letters. Lady Rashbor-
ough not early riser, though Rashbor-
ough himself had breakfasted and gone out long
before. Beatrice was moodily contemplating her
presents in the library when Mr.. Stephen Rich
ford was announced. He came in with an easy
smile, though Beatrice could see that his hands
were shaking and there Just a suggestion of
fear in his eyes. With all his faults, the man
did not drink, and Beatrice wondered. She had
once seen forger arrested on a liner and his
expression, soon as he recognized his position
was Just the same as Beatrice now saw in the
eyes of the man she was going to marry.
'"What is the NATTER" she asked Lstessly
"You look as if you had had some great shock
like man who has escaped from prison. Your
face is CHASTITY"
Richford made no reply for a moment He
contemplated his sullen, livid features in large
Venetian mirror opposite He was not a pretty
object at any time but he absolutely repul
sive just at that moment.
"Bit of an upset" he stammered. "Saw IA
nasty street accident. Poor chap run over"
The man was lying to her. absolutely he was
forced to the invention to save himself from a
confession of quite another kind

On her left hand sat Stephen Richford, dull,
heavy-looRng with a thick lip and sug-
gestion of shiftiness in his small eyes, Alto
gether he bore a strong resemblance to prize
fighter. He was quiet and little moody, as
was his wont, that most of Beatrices conver-
saton was directed to her neighbor on the other
side, Colonel Bennington, brilliant soldier not
long from the East
handsome and MISUNDERSTANDING man he
was, with melancholy droop to his moustache and
the shadow of some old sorrow in his eyes. Col
one Bennington went everywhere and knew
everything, but as to his past he said nothing.
Nobody knew anything about his people and yet
everybody trusted him, indeed in the
army had been in receipt OF more condolences.

he smiled. 1T seems strange to think that when

Positively, | refuse to have words like that

"Looking round the table l can see four girls at
least who are envying you from the bottom OF
their hearts Now could any society woman be
miserable under those circumstances"
Berringtons words were playful enough, but
there was a hidden meaning behind them that
Beatrice did not fail to notice. In way he was
telling her how sorry he was
II don't think they have any great need to be

her head had made her oblivious to
everything else. As matter of fact, Beatrice
was racking her brains for some way out of the
difficulty. The sef-elected waiter could not stay
there much longer, in any case, at least not un-
less the suspicious Richford took it in his head
to return to the dinner-table again.
"It is SO good of you to come" Beatrice said,
still with her head thrown back in the air.
That man has followed me, though Heaven
knows what he has to be suspicious about. Go
away for few minutes, as if you had forgotten
something, and then return again"
Mark Ventmore assented with a low bow.
Scarcely had he left the conservatory by door
leading to the corridor than Richford strolled in
Feeling better now?" he asked ungraciously.
"Funny things, womens headaches!"
"For Heavens sake go away" Beatrice ex-
claimed "Why do you come and torture me
like this? You are the very last l want to see
lust now Don't drive me over the border. Go
back to the others, and leave me in peace"
With sullen air, Richford lounged away;
Colonel Bennington was crossing the drawing,

This morning the Spaulding com

Assessor N. n. Smith and Treasurer
NJ. NJ. Shores appeared before the
agents of the company ia this city
and made them pay taxes on the as
sessable valuation of their buggies
in stock in this city. in the sum OF
$73.3O.
This amount was paid by the
Spaulding company under protest.
but the law of 1895 in this state was
quoted and they Immediately paid
the taxes assessed against them. The
operations of the Spaulding company.
one of many manufacturing buggy
and wagon concerns engaged in DO
ing business in this line, is about in
line with the catalogue houses who
take vast sums of money out of the
country each year while not con trib-
uting one cent to the support of the
government of the section in which
they operate.
This action on the part of the
county assessor and county treasur-
er in making the company pay up
will be generally commended, as the
burden of doing business in any com
munity is considerable and the right
to do business, for which they pay
considerable, should be safeguarded
to them by every possible means by
the law officers.
