band TO Brighton for the honeymoon.
Here they fell in with the Rawdon
Crawleys. Becky, mistress Of a fine
establishment, and surrounded by re.

wheeling tradesmen and standing off
creditors, that she made 1t possible for
them to maintain a fine social posi-.

Soon after this, among the brilliant

our friends were all In Brussels.
George, now desperately infatuated
with Becky, and neglectlng his six
weeks wife shamefully. slipped a note
In bouquet at bau, 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 Rawd0n Crawley, promoted
for gallantry, returned In triumph. and
he and his wife passed the winter Of
1915 in Paris in much splehdor and
gayety. Becky's salon became ia
nous, and great people hobnobbed
there. Colonel Crawley's dexterity

his guests, and under Becky's tute-

Amelia. now the Widow Osborne,
and with small son, Georgy, was in
sad penury; her father-in-law retus-

Becky, too, was the mother of q son,
hut 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
and left his wife. Then, Becky, fol-
lowing her o yn devious ways, became
an undisgnised adventures and
neglected tc care for her reputation.
She bobbed about from one city 10
another; now bounded by creditors
now cared for by some rich admlrer.
At last, when poor Becky had fallen
very low In funds and in repute, she
was found by Joseph Sedley and his sis
ter Amelia. The old acquaintance was
renewed, and gentle, generous Amelia
took her One-time bosom friend into
her heart and home. Major Dobbin
strongly disapproved, and denounced
Becky for what she was in her very
presence. Amelia resented this, and
DObbin then begged Amelia. once
again to marry nina plea he had
often made. On her refusal, Dobbin
went off vowing never to r,turn, leav-
ing Amelia alone with her fcalty to her
dead George. Whereupcn Becky,
learning the state OF things, told
Amelia OF Georges note to her, asking
her to elope with him, and contrasting
the faithless George most unfavor-
ably with the patient and long-suffer-
ing Dobbin. So Amelia recalled Dob
bin, married him, and they lived happy
ever after.

not by any legal bonds. He was
her utter slave, and insured his life
heavily for her beneit-and benefit she

Rawdon Crawley died, too. and the
son Rawdon refused ever 70 see his
mother again.
