LEAnxg A NEW AVORD. am informed , by these who ought to mow , that a credit balance nb one's Iwnkera possesses grcnt virtues tis nn elevator of both norals and character. That , apart from iny sordid consideration or miserly Joy , it nobles n man to face with greater conrago .ho smaller ills nnd annoyances of life , ren- lera him less llablo to many temptations , fcachos him to regard his fellow-creatures frith moro affectionate eyes , and generally acquiesce in I ho wisdom of the arrange- nent which made the world as it Is. If Uifc X ) so , the universal dcslro to grow rich may ave for its mainspring the noblest motives. As in ntno coses out of ton a woman holds noney In fnr greater rovcrenco and awe than I man docs , the possession of such a balance lionld bo to her doubly gratifying and ovatlnt ; . With money woman is a power. I was the weak concession , begun years ago 'or ' man's selfish cndi , completed to-day for .ho FflkooC justice , that n woman has any ight to hold property nt all , which has led pto the demand for womanhood suffrage. Beatrice had a very Inrgo credit balance i the hands of the family bankers , Ho'srsl irlonjr , Stephens , Furlong , Sos'inourcS : Fur- ng , an ostablishmciit which , for the sake ot irovlty , and on account of its antiquity , was iommonly known as the BlacUown Old anlf. It vms a very Inrgo balance ; BO largo at it annoyed Horace and Herbert to think if Its lying nt the bankers. With their iralseworthy regularity tlio trustees had rery half year jvild their nleco's incoino to r account at llcssrs. Furlongs , nnd as Jcatrico did not spend onc-flfth of it the ioney bred with its proverbial fecundity. Until their iiicco came to stay with them iho Tnlbcrts liad , without oven consulting or , invested all surplus incoino in goal tvidend-paying preference or debenture ocks , chosen because they only j > ald four cr cent. no well-advised bonowor should link of offering moro than four per cent. loing so creates mistrust. During the last ear Beatrice ha.1 asked them to let the lonoy lie at the bank. So at the bank it as , as Horace Mild , not tearing n fraction f interest. It vexed him to ECO such waste. Only nt Clnistinas ho had remonstrated ith her. "You are simply making our Wends" several members of the elongated ttrm lived in the neighborhood "almudsomo caily present. Paying ono of their clerk's ialary , In fact. " "Porlmps that was why Mr. Stephens was attentive to mo at dinner last w eck , " said Scnti ice placidly. "Oh , noiiEoiiol Tt's a mere nothing to lietn. But why should they have your money for nothing , nnd lend it out at seven or eight per cent , j'1 ' Beatrice could give no reason. She simply said she wished it to remain as It was for n while. Horace nnd Herbert began to wonder If she bad afoot any scheme for endow ing a hospital , or restoring the parish church. However , the money lay idle and at call , and if Horace's explanation of the method by which bankers make fortunes was correct , the page in the red basil-covered ledger , headed "Beatrice Clauson , " must have boon a gratifying sight for the Messrs. Furlong and the rest of the firm. Ono moniiug the A cry morning which Mr. Hervoy had appointed for his second in terview with Bcatiicc a few minutes after the respectable liveried porter had drawn the bolts of the outer doors , and so pro claimed that the bank was ready for all coiners , a chock for ono thousand pounds , payable to "self" or "bearer" and signed "Beatrice Clauson" handed was across the broad mahogany counter to the spruce cash ier. ier.Ho Ho leaned across the counter nnd asked her in the politest manner : "IIow'1-you-lmvMtr Mrs. Miller would have flvo hundtodin gold , and flvo Bank of England notes for ono hundred pounds each. The money was counted out. Mrs. Miller buttoned the notes inside her dress. The bag of gold she placed In her pocket , where w ith every movement it bumi > cd heavily but reassuringly against her leg , and in dumb but painful show pro claimed that it was safe. Then she rejoined her misti oss , and the cab carried thorn to Blacktown railway station. They booked to Paddington. As they wanted no companion ? they entered a ladies' carriage. Every traveler knows that solitude is moat often lound in these compartments reserved exclusively for the fair set This is adclieato compliment to man , bub not , perhaps - haps , fully appreciated by such men. who , after eying vacant scats enviously , luno to enter a can iago nioio than thrcopaits full of people. Iho train started. For a while Beatrice 5at as ouo in a roverio. Mrs. Miller , who held the boy , watched her face. Beatrice sighed , looked up and mot her companion's gaze. "Ho will follow us,1'bho said. She trembled is Bho spoke. "Yes , if ho can find in. Poor dear ! if ho : an do so ho'll hunt you to death. We'll go nhero bo can't llnd us. Theio we'll wait until he can trouble you no moro , my sweet. " "Ah , when will that bo ? " sighed Beatrice. "When bo is struck down. When my prayers are answered. When you look on has lead face , and know that you are freol" ' Hush ! huihl Hoiv can you dare to prayer [ or a man's death ? Evcii I , whom ho has so rouged , could not force my lips to form Lhot prayer. " "Oh , my dearl my dear ! that is different STou would bo praying for your elf. God ivould not listen ; but I pray only for you uidHowill. " "Sarah bo silent " said Beatrice. , , . She hod dways set her face sternly against her maid's oligious ( lights , But MM. Millor's oxclte- neut had by now reached a pitch wliich ro- ilstod oven Bcati ice's command ! ! , "Seel" she said in thrilling tones , which nado oven the child open his eyes in wonder neut , "lost night a sign came tome , n dream. . ' looked down from somewhere and saw my- clf as I must bo , as it was llxcd 1 should bo > eforotho woild bcgau , where the woint lieth not " "My poor Sarali , bo calm. " "Whero the lire a not quenched. I saw nysolf , and I saw him. Ho was clcso at mud. Oh , God means to stiike , and boon , , -ciy soon. " Her voice had such intensity , hcroyes such twild look in them , that little Hairy , who md watched her in that ( .poll-bound manner winiawi to reflective hildrsu , came to tha ioecluslon that something was wrong , and et up a lusty roar. "See , " said Beatrice , reproachfully , "you lave f lightened the boy. " The woman grew calm nt ones. Tbo blaze if fanaticism faded from her face , and aha * as once more the attentive nurse uud faith- ul servant. The train humod them ounmds m their flight. Flight I Yes , it waa flight ! Hervey's hrcat hail struck homo. Jt had carried con- 'iction , Beatrice never doubted his osscr- Ion that although it might 1 * impossible for ilin to force her to como to his side , ho could I'gallytako the boy fiom her , She deter- iilnod to fly , lea\o no time , hida for n while , ml lot the man m her absence do his worst , f ho told her friends tjie tale of the marriage t would nt least sa\o her fiom the vain f BO doing. Kha had not yet settled whither o go , but blio meant to-night to ba out of England , The Httlo boy , ns was usual when ho np- eared in public , had attracted much nttuu- Ion whllo they waited on tha Blacktown ilatform , fie greet is the interest excited iy such a perfect specimen of childhood that very woman and not n few men turned and aokod after him. At the ilrst stoppage a idy who taw him through the window Uually fetched her busdwnd out cf the efreshuicnt room to luol : at his golden hair , iho was but a young wife , or ehe mi-lit iavo known bettor. Pleasing as such adul ation unuthjcye l ij & B atrjcv , it Willed to trouble Mrs. Mllfcr. As the train n sumed its course , she turned to Beatrice "It must bo done , my dear. It must b done , " Beatrice , who now had the boy , hutrgoi him tightly. "I won't I caa't do It , " gh said. said."Wo "Wo shall bo traced nil over the world bit - < it , my dear , " said Mrs. Miller , sadly. "Oh , Sarahl It is too cruel too cruel See , let us twist it up nnd hide It. " Therewith she twisted up Harry's nmnj locks , turned them over on the top of hh head and fastened them with n hairpin. His cni was replaced , and very comical the boy looked with lib hair growing upwards. And very pretty bo looked when , a minute afterwards , tlilnking this wasn now sort oi game , ho shook off his cap , shook out UK knot , nnd , prcstol jlowu fell the glowing cloud ngaln. It was tnckotl np again. It was shaken enl again nnd again nnd again. It was flno sjKirt for the baby , but Beatrice began to glance timidly at her maid , who shook her head ominously. "Wo shall bo follow ed every where , " she said. Beatrice sighed. "He'll bo a big boy in uo time , my pretty , " said Sarnli , "then it must couio off. Don't run the risk now. There's not such hair in the three kingdoms. " Strange that n woman who believed so Implicitly in destiny , Mrs. Miller should bo In her calm moments so calculating and fore seeing. Beatrice kissed tire soft cloud , and said that was w hy it w as such a sin. Sarah , without ntronl , drew out n now spapcr and a largo pair of bright scissors. Beatrice turned nwny to hide her tears. Sarah cut n hole in the centre of the news paper a hole just big enough for the boy to put his head through. Ho did so , and thought it great fun. His blue eyes danced with delight. "Hold the comers , miss , " said Sarah. Btati ice with averted eyes took up two of them in her trembling hands. The cruel work began. Kuthlosa ns the sucnn of Atropos , Sarah piled her bright blades , nnd the boy's glit tering locks fell in soft mosses on the out- spioad Stnudaid , Kbver before had the columns of that influential journal gleamed so brightly. Clip , clip , clip , went the scissors , every clip seeming to cut Beatrice's hcai t. In ih o minute * the w ork was i oughly Every clip sccminff ( o cut lieatrtce's heart. done , and the glory of Harry's hair gene forever. Beatrice positively sobbed. She gathered up every thiead of gold , kissed and wept over the wreck , then put it away to bo treas ured up. She clasped her dlsflgurod darling to her breast. "Oh , my poor little boy ! " she cried. "My little shorn lamb ! Oh , it was cruel , too : nioll A cruel , wicked mother I am to you , my pet. " She hugged the boy , and bewailed , the loss of his curls a loss which the late proprietor appeared to view with intense sat isfaction. Ho w as experiencing n now sensa tion , and at every age n now s > ciisation is a natter of gieat interest. Presently somothiug seemed to stir Beatrice - trice into great animation. "Mothei' ' " she iaid , Tnothcrl Listen , my pet , say after no , mother. " Ho smiled his little smile , pursed up bis ips , and mode , for the first attempt , a very lair imitation of the word. The tears itreamod down Beatrice's checks. She kissed , ho boy passionately. "Say it again say t always , " bho cried , "mother , mother , nother. " The little autocrat , being in high good mper , consented to humor her , and all the voy to LonJon Beatrice taught her boy the low word oven made him dimly compro- icnd that it was in future to bo the title of ho person whom his lisping tongue had un- II now only given the name of Bee-Bee , or omo such infantile rendering of ; the style by vhich ho heard her addressed. The comfort which his icadlncss to catch ip the now word hi ought to Beatrice's heart Jmost compensated for the regret she felt at ho ruthless deed which had been done by ho scissors. CHAPTER xxm. PAINFUL DUTIES. After Iho two great crimes of "removing ho landmarlcs of the constitution to jiaudor 0 the masses , " nnd not wiping ono's shoos ho cno nn imperial , the other a domcsticsln , ot equally grave unpunctuallty at table , as the most heinous offense in the eyas of loraco and Herbert. Without being exactly ourmauds they liked their food cooked to a urn. Most bachelors who have turned 40 xhiblt the same liking. The Talborts took a reat deal of trouble about their cublno , nnd xpccted to bo lowardcd by finding every- oing , fiom the salt'to the salmon , as it iiouid be. Such a matter as n lim-cl-lieartcd otato was all but unknown nt their table , nd would have f aimed the subject for a wrt of inquiry , nnd , if needed , u lovUou C kitchen utensils. At their reflnod dinner wirtios it was un- lerstood that after a certain thno of grace nome mo was to bo waited for. It was their theory hat keeping several gucstj waiting for ono nggardwosa bieach of politeness. There vere unkind people who said that the broth- rs would bleak this rule for u lord. They rrongod our friends. They would have raited for no ono under the rank of a duke r at least a mmquls , So that when Whlttakor having struck the Cbonaut gong and so proclaimed that lunch t as ready , ten minutes pushed by without icatrico's responding to its liajpitablo sum- nous , it is no wonder that Horace nnd Her- ert began to look grave , The soup was on tie table ; Whlttakor was waiting his mas- er's commands. Ho , who from long assocla- lon , felt the situation as much as they did x > ked absolutely sympathetic. Although head ad no icason to suppose her estono dcnf ho eutured to sugge.it that Miu Clausou had ot heard the gong. The beauty of the Tnlbsrts' character was iat iKDlltonoss invariably triuraphoj over rlnclplc. Punctuality was hero the prin- Iple ; it wns outraged , yet forced for n whllo ibubmlt. Hoiacofoibado a repeated sum- ions , and they actually waited another 11o ilmitea before they tcnt Whlttakor to in- ulro for Miss Clnuson. Whlttakor rejwted aat Miss Clauion , iho nurse and the little oy had gone out immediately after brcak- ist nnd had not yet relumed. "Then the nurbcry dinner will Iw spoiled , X ) , " said Horace sadly , as ho seated himself nn ladled out the coup. Horace , with lib Ind heart , felt for any ono who was doomed > buffer from n upoUoJ dinner. After a solemn lunch the brothers waited > r a whllo in the diulug-ioom. They ex- Duted every moment that Beatrice would ppenr. They did not of courao mean to : old her , but were prepared to say a few ords of mild remonstrance ; to show bor , 1 fact , how tha bad example of uupuuctual- y mu > t demoralize an establishment. But nsBoatiico did not appear the well- leant little lecture they were tacitly pro- iriug turned Into ojitii expressions of won- er as to w hy her morning ramble should bo ) protracted , Perhaps/sho bad gene soroe- uero to lunch. Perhaps something had appened. Just as thAy bad reached this last ao ot suDKO itlon , WU4tak.aLbrouKUt too telegram. It wns from Beatrice a l son from Oxford Circus Wo nro In London I ran do not bo uneasy ; will write to-night. They were greatly surprised , and marvcla on what errand could she hnvo gene to Lou donl No doubt it was all right. She 1m mosb likely gene to Iwr father's. Perhnp SirMatngay was ill. Beatrice might hav intercepted n telegram and Impulslvcl ; started off nt onco. But hy tnko the chili nnd the nursol Why ? There they wen unnblo to make bead or t.iilot the matter , si could only wait for the morning's post. "Beatrice might have been more explicit , ' said Horace , looking nt the telegram once moro. "Yes , " said Herbert , "sho bad ntuo wonl to spare. " ' 'Telegrams nro ono of the posts ot moderr life , " continued Horace. "People dash ofl these ill-worded , unpunctuated phrase * 1 stead of n proper letter. No ouo can write c decent letter now , " Horace , who had th&clftof writing pecu liarly well-constructed and elegant , If rather too lengthy , epistles , felt keenly on Uio ten dency of the ago to conduct its correspondence - enco by means of short , snapping sentences , nftor the manner of Mr. Mordlo's style ol talking. "I bopo she will bo back soon , " said Her bert "Frank comes to us the day after to morrow. " "Ho Is In good health now. Isn't hoP "Splendid , 1 believe. " "Then I think wo can give him the ' 53 this time the ' 471s growing low. " This was not meanness. It was but tha caution n w iyi man exercises over his collar. Besides , w ho could complain of the delicate graduation ? 1S53 is a line wluo ; many prefer it to 1S17. Beatrice's promised letter cnmo in the morning. Horace rood it first. His fnco was a ircrfoct blank. Ho road it again before ho handed it to the anxious Herbert , who , al though ho saw from lib brother's face that something btrnngo had hapjwned , was for once unnblo to make the slightest guess at the truth. Hero L Beatrice's letter : "My Vcrv Dear Uncles : I should bo ungrate ful for the klndnass you have shown mo If I left you in any anxiety a moment longer than I could help. 1 ic'it you n telegram yester day afternoon to show you that no ON 11 had befallen mo. "I scarcely know what to say to you. I can nt present offer no excuse for what I am about to do. I can give no oxplanatlo > . When Icamo to Hazlowool House I hoped to bo able to make it my homo for so long ns you would keep 1119. Now , I ihul , I am forced to leavoyounndmakonliomoof my own.

"If I cannot promLso to toll you where I am , I will at least let j-ou hear from mo now and then. Please , oh , please , do not try nnd trace me , but do endeavor to think kindly o : your loving but unhappy niece , BEATHICE. " "What docs it mean , Heiboit ? " said Horace ace m sepulchral tones. "What can it mean ? " echoed Herbert. They Fat staring at ono another and feel Ing that such nn unlookcd for catastrophe bad never before happened since the world began to bo peopled by ladles and gentlemen , Iheir niece , the feminine counterpart ol themselves ; the embodiment , to their minds , Df all that a well-bred , wcll-boru womiu should be , to bo guilty of such an e capado. It was aw fill , pel fectly awful 1 They lead the letter again nnd again , liscussed the meaning of sentences , oven of noids ; but this analyzing process helpoJ .hem nothing. So they turned to reconsider u n new light Beatrice herself as they know JIT or fancied they know her. Although neither of the Tnlberts had over 'elt the tender passion , it wns ihought by nany that if either were attacked , Herbert vould bo the victim. A widow anxious wo o-cnter the holy estate of matrimony would lavodiiected her attention to the younger nan as being of a moro malleable nmtsiial ban the elder. Thciowas , indeed , n vague radition floating about that Herbert had mco upon a time looked rather tenderly upon ome young lady , and that had not Horace dth praiseworthy selfishness promptly inter- ored nnd nipped the affair in the bud he , loiaco. might nowba living in solitude with II the caies of Hnzlowood House on his boulders. So it was Hctbortwho first ap- iroached the puzzle from the romantic side. "You don't think , " ho said , "that Beatrice ould have nny any unfortunate attnch- icnt of which we should have disapproved ! " "How could such a thing bo jios-.iblo1 ? "Wo thought such n thing as her leaving s like this an impossibility. " This argument impressed Horace. Ho bought the matter carefully over. "No , " o said , with the air of a judge giving a do- ision , "it is impossible. She has given nc gns of such n thing. BXo has bcemod quite appy and contented. Her uppoUto has , J ink , been vay good. " "Yes , very good , " said Herbert , "Bosldw , who could there boi Sha h also .er own mlstresi , and if she wished to marry m have no \ olco In the matter. She is quite apablo of having her own way. Witness er leaving all that money idle. " Horace had never got ever that prcssut of aveii per cent , to the bankers. Ht'ibert , in obediouco to his brothar'si views , ismls l the unfortunate attachment theory ud began to look for another. "I wonder , " 0 said sadly , nnd after a long pause , "I lOiider 1C we have misunderstood Bcntiico'j hntncturi' ' "i uia almost nfrald it is so , " said Horace. "Sho seemol so quiet nnd contented , " filled Herbert. "True , that affair about jose people and the boy upset her , " "Noir , " bald Horace. "I bellovo you nro ettlng nearer the mark. Can it DO possible iat any fear that the child would ba taken omliar induced her to make this foolish ight I can call It nothing else ? " Herbert objected in his turn. Beatrice had sen so certain that the claim would como to othiug , nnd events had proved her sagacity , othoy talked and talked , suggested mid rea med , but never got near the ti uth , They jiild not oven frame a theory , Nothing in its world is moio annoying than to bo with- lit a theory. At last Horace roso. "Something must bo one , " ho said , decisively. "Yes , " ossontod Herbert , inquiringly. "Wo an , It appears to mo , placed in n lost unfoj tunato position. This mystoilou ? [ ght involvoi the most grievous couso- nonces. Wo must do something which I > cl sure will bo repugnant to both of us. " "You will not employ any ono to trace irl" "Certainly not. She Is her own mistress , : id can go where she chooaos. I am think- ig moio about ourselves. Life will become itolerabla if tha matter geti bruited jrond. " "How can wo help it ? All the household iions. that Ibatrica has gone , and gene with- it nny luggago. " "That , " said Horace , with mild triumph , 1 huvo thought out. " Ho rang the bell and iked for the parlor tnnld. Wane , " In said , "Miss Claufion lifts been tiled to London. Will you lx ) good enough > got fcucli things packed in her trunks as sha likely to want for a lengthy visit ; also pack ia nurso'i IKJX an 1 the child's things. " Jane courU'sIod nnd withdrew. Presently toreturnol mid asked how iiu.ny dre uj 10 lind better pick ? "Two morning nnd four evening dresses , " ild Horace , promptly.

Th boxw wcro brought down , placed In th wagonette , nnd Iloraco nnd Herbert , drori nwny with them. Nothing could havw Ixw more skillfully managed. Even Whlttako : was completely deceived. They took tlw lxms ? and warehoused flion In Blacktown. "You ROC , " said Horace , a ho turned the horses' heads homewards "Beatrice Art * gene to London , She mean to mnko a lengthy stay. She tntist w ant hoi tilings. Any woman would. " "Every wonl you sjxjko wn * the oxocl truth , " said Herbert , consolingly. But they wcro horribly upiotr o upsol that they forgot nil about Frank's Impending visit , or forgot about it until tin noxl morning , when they found it was too lat < to telegraph. Frank , with "hopo eternal" growing like eucalyptus , cnmo down as ho bad fore warned his friends , by the morning train. Ho wns lather surprised nt not teeing lili two tall cousins on the platform , or nnj signs of thowngonctto outside the station. Ho secured n hansom nnd dro\o straight to Hnzlowood Houso. Whlttnkcr opened the door. "All well , Whittakcrr1 asked Cnrruthers cheerily. Ho did not hear the servant's reply , for nt that moment Horace and Herbert appeared nnd tliook hands heartily. They took him into the dining room , and once moro the three men hhook hands. "Well , how nro you both ? " asked Frank. They told him they wcro quite well , but , nil the same , Frank know by their tolcmn fnJba that something had gene wrong. Ho won- deicd what thu cook had been up to. "And Miss Clausou ? Beatrice ! " ho con- tinuedwith nn assumption ot eaielessnoss , but longing for the door to open and admit her. The Tnllxjrts exchanged , ul glances. "Beatrice , " snid Horace , "is not hero. " His voice wns so solemn that Frank's blood inn cold. Jlornco was not addicte 1 to the use of canting colloquialisms , but the words wcio spoken in such a way that Frank believed "not hcio" must ino\itnbly bo follow ed by "but gene above. " Ho was Immensely lolled when the speaker stopped short. "Not here , " ho sail , "Gono out , you mean. My gicotiugs must wait. " The brothers' eyes taught counsel of ono another. "Beatrice wont to London yesterday , " snid Horace. Frank scorned much aston ished. "To London ? She left London only a few days ago. Is she gene back to her father's ? " Ho wns already flaming excuses for leaving Hazlowcod House and returning to town. An ominous silence followed his question. "What is the matter ? Is anything wrong ? " ho asked in great agitation. " dear Frank " said Horace " "My , , "some thing strange has happened , but it is so strictly a family affair that wo nro consider ing whether wo ought to mention it to you. Not but what your advice might bo of serv ice to us. " Frank grow seriously alarmed. "But ' . nm ono of the family , " ho said hastily. Thi Tnlberts shook their heads doubtfully. They \\ero not sure about it. The family con sisted of two , or , counting in Beatrice , three at the outside.

"Fiank , " osniil , "uodonot wish to misjudge you , nt the fact of Beatrice's having refused you , nd of j our coming down to rcnow the offer , lakes us think that she must'havo fled to void you.
