"How long have you been here?" he
demanded shakily.

ed to consult his watch.
"Since nine O'Clock last night he
said, coolly. Il was fishing on the is
land and got caught by the storm-like

Hardw1cke's eyes glinted ominous-
ly then. .
"Why did you not let us know Of
your ~presence?' he growled.

found your hat and the lady's hand

The other man was now nearly be-
side himself with rage and anxiety, be-
ing m|iserably conscious that Beatrice
was dropping like Il wilted flower,
But Doctor Merriam affected Il fine dis
regard of the mans anger and the
woman's distress alike.
'YVhy should any of us say, or even
think, ~diSa@reeable things?" he cried,
with a pleasant, oiT-hand air of ais
missing the affair. AN accident is
an accident, but it is my business as
Il surgeon to repair such mishapS. You
and [, Mr.. HardWicke. can surely be
regarded us a suitable escort for a
young lady benighted Oh an island. We
passed the night here together. What
more is there TO be said? What more
can anyone say, even an evil-tongued
woman? L assure you, on my honor,
you two people can rely absolutely Oh
my discretion"
So the unhappy pal" left it at that,
and met with some measure of coESo-
lation when Merriam's Suave word eX-
planned matters to Mr.. and Mrs. Tour
neur. who, with other guests in the
hotel, formed an excited grouc at the
landing place to receive the castaways
from the boat sent to their assistance.
Between exhaustion and mental
stress Beatrice was taken ill. Such
a sequel to an exciting adventure was
only to be expected, and everyone IL
the Lakeside hotel was most sylnpa-
thetic.
Naturally, Doctor Merriam attended
Beatrice professionally. She was con-
fined to her room during three weary
days. but, On the fourth, was allowed
to receive visitors. Mrs. Tourheur
came upon Hardwicke on the veraEda,
and told him that her daughter was up
and dressed, and awaiting him in her
sitting room. He hurried there at
once, being feverishly anxious to as

Hardwicke turned the key in the lock,
took off his coat, and. almost without
any preliminary, the two men engaged
in Il fierce fight.
They were fairly equally matched
in physique, but sheer resolution and
fiery wrath gave Hardwicke the vic
tory. and ne did not leave his opponent
until the man was beaten tC the
ground.
Going then to his own room, Hard
wicke changed his clothes and re-
moved the most noticeable marks of
the contest. Feeling himself unequal
to meeting Beatrice again that after
noon, he left the hotel, meaning TO
walk along an unfrcquented path, ard
successfully lodging Marion Miller,
who, during the past few days, nud
lived III Il veritable inferno of her
W creation.
She looked after him with an eX-
preston of baleful hatred, since hell
hath no fury like Il Woma scOrued,
and encountered Doctor Merriam
While in this harpy'S mood. He. like
nardwicke, vas by no means anxious
to meet any other resident in the he
tel, but the sight of Miss Miller Sug-
gested Il ready means OF revenge. L.
noring a stare of surprise at his Dat
tered appearance, he drew Marion
aside 4 forthwith poured into her
eager a the fell story of the nights
doings on the island.
Three months later Mrs. HardwiGke
died and her husband and Beatrice
Tourneur mad already come to their
senses. They had met often, both il
the hotel and at the girls home, and
the knowledge was slowly forced on
them that they We're unsuited, both in
character and disposition, to the life
long tie of matrimony.
Moreover, another ideal had crept
into the girls troubled heart. She had
met John Burton, and, struggle as she
might against the obsession, became
only too we'll aware that he was the
only nan she could ever love.
Then, Harowicke and Beatrice were
together n day, and chatting mere
1y as friends, when Or. Albert Merriam
was announced. Merriam laid bare
the object of his visit without the
least pretense of concealment.

The rain pelted down in torrents,
but this drawback did not matter eX-
cept that it added to their disconl-
fort. Beatrice was exhausted, Of
course, but profoundly thankful that
her life had been spared. and very
much inclined to regard Hardwicke as
a hero, owing to the GOODNESS he had
displayed in q real crisis.
Supporting her tenderly, he led her
to a point from which he guessed that

Sure enough, they soon reached the

SEVENTH EPISODE
The Butterflies.


A summer hotel IN Lukeland-one
of those sylvan retreats in which men
and women endeavor to lay aside for
a while the everyday burdens of life
lis too often q miCrUcOSm of the great
outer world. John Burton, tenth mar
quiS of Castleton, had never even
heard Of the Lakeside hotel. and would
have been very much surprised if told
that certain tragic issues of grave i'm
port To himself were taking shape
there at the very time he was vainly
seeking rest ana oblivion on a country
farm.
Yet, SC strangely interviewer are the
warp and welt of human existence, a
number of men and women were even
then all unconsciouSly contriving one
of those tangled SnareS of deceit and
misery into which this unhappy young
millionaire so often Numbered. In or
der to understand certain incidents
which befell at a date long before Bur
ton met any of the people concerned, it
is necessary to set forth the main
characters somewhat in the style of
a play.

whose one lapse had punished none
but herself.
The accident happened at a tome
what late hour, and was not bruited
about the city until the following morn
ing. Burton, who had retired to rest
very late, after many hours of anxiety
due to Merriam's unfortunate death,
was somewhat late for breakfast. He
had just opened an important-loOking
letter, carrying the superscription of a
local bank, when Arthur Hardwicke
rushed in, followed by a scandalized
butler who had failed completely to
stop the entry of an impetuous visitor.
The two men knew each other, of
course, but Burton was hardly pre-
pared for Hardwicko's action, seeing
that the newcomer rushed around the
table and snatched from his hands the
very letter he was on the point of
opening.
