When Ii further TRANSFERRED that the

was the brass-spurred and long-mus-
tached Capt. Rawdon Crawley, there
were two cataclysms, one in which

Soon after this, among the brilliant
train OF camp followers that hung

our friends were all in Brussels.
George, now desperately infatuated
with Becky, and neglecting his six
weeks wife shamefully, slipped note
IN bouquet at ball, begging Becky
to elope with him. But before the note |
was answered came the call to arms.
and Lieutenant Osborne, forgetting all
love and intrigue, kissed Amelia and
marched away-marched, alas, to his
death on the field of Waterloo.
Colonel Rawdon Crawley, promoted
FOR gallantry, returned in triumph, and
ne and his wife passed the winter Of
1873 in Paris in much splendor and
gayety. Becky's salon became ia
nous, and great people hobnobbed
there. Colonel Crawley's dexterity
at cards and billiards became SO
marked that he constantly won from
his guests, and under Becky's tute-
lage he became clever and success
full gambler, and thus aided in their
fortune of nothing for year.
Amelia, now the Widow Osborne.
ana with small son, Georgy, was in
sad penury; her father-in-law refus.

ther and mother dependent upon her.
Becky, too, was the mother of a son.
but she cared nothing for her child.
Nor for her husband; indeed, she so
FAR forgot her wifely duty as to be
guilty of an intrigue with the rich old
Lord Stevne. Colonel Crawley dis
covered this, thrashed the nobleman
md left his wife. Then, Becky, fol-
owing her vn devious ways, became
IN undisgttised adventures and
neglected to care for her reputation.
She bobbed about from one city to
another; now bounded by creditors
low cared for by some rich admirer.
At last, when poor Becky had fallen
7ery low In funds and In repute, she
vas found by Joseph Sedley and his sis
er Amelia. The old acquaintance was
and gentle, generous Amelia
ook her one-time bosom friend into
Ter heart and home. Major Dobbin
trongly disapproved, and denounced
Becky for what she was In her very
presence. Amelia resented this, and ,
)obbin then begged Amelia, once

'ften made. On her refusal, Dobbin {

earning the state Of things, told
Imelia of Georges note to her, asking 1
