What did the words mean, and how far
would they aid him in; findmg. Beatrice?
He soon settled in his mind that ''Madonna j
di Tempi" must be the name of a picture. !
But what picture? Where was it to be
found? -'"
Of course, it did not follow that supposing
he could^ascertain all about this picture,
-tiHnch'~might or might not be a world
famed one, that he would find Beatrice near
yecvertbeless, the clew w?s worth fel?

Hr. Carruthers was" no* one-of the inner
circle of.art worshippers. ..His sallet, his
sturm und drang, his ?notional days, were
well over bef ore 'che era of blue and white
china. He had no rhapsodies, written or
spoken, to arise hereafter and prick his con?
science. He had not bowed his knee to. the
intense,'nor sacrificed cn the altar of the in?
comprehensible. Ho was fond bf pictures as
picrtares, and, was boldf enough ..to say he
liked what he did like and' that he'disliked
what he did djalii a? Hence it w?l be at once
seen that, his opiaion was worth nothing to
gav one except himself.
?avmg lound the^ knowledge riot indis?

of tl? grand old masters and marne the spot

"Do you know any picture called the 'Ma?

"A picture c?lledlibe 'Madonna di Tempi*

"Where is it?" asked Frank quickly.

Frank jumped up. "Thank yon,*' he said,
"I am so much obliged"
'l?ot going, Carruthers! Oh, sit down
and have a chat. Tell me all about your

"No, Pm not. I must go now. Good-bya"
"But where are you gxaiag?"
"The words you read have fired me. I
am going to Munich to seo the 'Madonna di

get ?ut another question Carruthers waa
gone. -

"Frank! Fran?;!" she cried. " You heret"
He took her hands in his and regar?ess of
bystandars gazed into her gray eyes. For a
moment he could hot speak. The sight of
Beatrice, the touch of her hand sent the
blood rushiag through his veins. Days,
weeks, months, he had pictured this meet?
ing, and now it had come to pass !.
She. was fairer than ever-fairer than
ever! The pure classical features seemed
even more perfect, the clear pale face more
beautiful* fhe dark gray eyes more wonder?
ful than of old. And, as she had given that
little cry of joy, something had leapt into
her eyes which Carruthers had never before
seen there, or never before seen so clearly
and undisguisedly. The surorise of seeing
him had swept away caution, and for the
space of two second*, Frank was able to
read tho very secret of her soul.
??o'wonder he held her hands and gazed
silently in her face. "What had he to say
what could he say? The certainty that she
loved bim made his task no easier-the task
of telling her that he knew her secret, or at
least a great part of is-the task of asking
her to confide in him and let him help her.

The light bad faded from Beatrice's face.

he knelt beside her and took her hands. "If
once I. wLhed to know all, now I say, tell
me nothing. What is the past to me? Hide
it away, forget it, scorn it. Our life begins
to-day. '? I love you. Bend down and tell
me you w?l be my "wife.'*
She forcibly drew her hands from his, cov?
ered her eyes and sobbed.
"You love me," he went on, passionately.
"Is it for my sake y on will not do this thing?
Look at me-read in my eyes what my heart
desires-know that you have the power of
making'or marring a, man's life. Beatrice!
My Tove, my only love, answer me!"
Once more he tried to take her hands. She
tore them away with a cry bf anguish, and
her cearful ey?s rested on his troubled, up?
turned face.
"Frank," she said, ''you are killing me.
Spare me and let rue speak."
He waited in anxious silence until her
sobs died away and sustained spe?ch was a
possibility.
"Frank, Frank!"' sho said. "You have
been misled. You have beard but half the
truth. You love me, yet dare to think that
if what you have heard is truo I would D3
your wife. I cannot blame you for believ?
ing. I have no right to blame. My actions
have helped that b3lief. Yet ia believing it,
you, Frank, have given me the sharpest
pain of all that I have known."
Carruthers bent his head and prayed she
wcuM forgive him.
"I have nothing to forgive From whom
did you think I ihd-from what danger?
Frank, I fl?? from the man who is ray hus?
band-tho man who more than five years
ago tock advantage cf a girl's folly, married
her and made her lifo a miseiy."
Carruthers rose from his knees. His face
was white as a shoot, fie wa* the picture of
despair. A legion of Mrs. Millers would
not now have caused hope to throw up the
tiniest shoot. Her husband! Tho room
seemed to swim around him.
When ho recovered himself ho saw Beatrice
with the tears falling down her cbee'.cs. Tho
sight was a bitter reprpach to hiux How
bad he kept his vow? Instead of giving ber
comfort and aid ho was tuc adding to her
trouble. Moreover, a kcr-u sense of shaine
came home to him instead of joy he felt
fresh misery when Beatrice's words told
him that her secret was not une of such
nature as be had been lcd to believe. That
his first thought upon hearing the truth
should have been one of sorrow showed him
that he had reached a depth of selfishness
end degradation which no love could excuse
or condone. He blushed for himself, and
for the sake of his manhood strove until he
regained composure. There was a strange
calm on his face' wheo once more, he drew
near Beatrice1. * - . ' ?
"Tell me all," he said, in a quiet voice.
"No, don't fear for me." She glanced at him
haquiringly. _4'Tell ma all; ? caa bear it. I .
can neip you."
She'to?d him all ToH lum without self
excuse, without even exaggerating her hus?
band's sins . against. the world and. against
her. She told him without claiming. mercy J
on account of what she had suffered; , but
there "was a pathos id'her voice; an utter
hopelessness in her. manner which told her
listener more than words could have told.
Has heart ached as he thought of her; his
blood boiled as he thought of the villain who
had wrought this misery.
He heard her to the very end in silence.
Throughout her tale she had not spoken of
'her husband'by- any name; but from the"
first: Carruthers, guessed who' he was. As
she finished speaking' ha turned his pale face,
to her. "The man's name is- Hervey," he
said . : . :
.."Yes. Do you know Inna?''
!:':44I have seen him twice." As he spoke
, Carruthers involuntarily clenched, his hands.
There was a kind of savage satisfaction in
thinking under what, conditions he last saw
.'the?rogue.Re. wished he .had struck even,
harder. He frowned, and his mouth grew
hard and stern. Beatrice saw the facial
change., -v .,..- .-.,- - :s.
.\"Doyou Hame" me too. much to forgive
me, Frank?'' she asked, anxiously.' He
looked at her with eyes as soft and tender as.
a woman's. '...?.'...'._
"Blame youl Who am I to blame you?
What have Irte forgive*; ;You have all my
.pity-all my sympathy. Again I offer you
such , help as I ^??n give-such help as a
brother can- giv? a "sister. You will take
I this from me,- Beatrice?"
She.placed her hand in bis. -: "Yes, I will
. take it.. It. is. more than I deserve. Ah,
me! why should my trouble enter into your
: His fingers tightened on hers. His eyes
r ?ought hers. "Beatrice," ; he said, . "I did
not live unifciLi kne w yon... You haye a. right
to. claim all I can give. Yet there is some?
thing T must esk-something I must know.
You have told me much-will you tell ine
ear . . . ,. . . .... .... ?
" "Ihave told you aH.": .
"Ne, not alL; . Beatrice, life promises to be
but a sorry affair for me. " Let me have such
cold consolation'as it can give. Bea trico,
let me hear you say with your own-Hps that
had things been othervise you could have
doved'merr-wouid.have teen my. wife."
She met bis eyes- braveha.. "Yes, Frank,*'
she said softly. "I w?l say. that. I will say
more. I .Tlove youmow. Ah, Frank, re?
proach me, blame mev when I tell you that
although I 4mew" it-meant unhappiness f r.
you it was a sweet moment to me when fin t
I knew that.you loved me."
- After this avowal there was silence for a
minute. Then ? Carruthers leaned forward.
"Beatrice, ?my love," he said hoarsely, "kiss
anio once. I only ask it once."
She flushed to the xoots^of her hair, yet
she made no resistance. Carruthers drew
her to him and for the firs", and, for all
.Ixe: knew, the last time their lips met Ha
. took, she gave, the -one kiss. When it wai
.aver Carruthers released her from .his em?
;,brace aud the.two drew apart. :
Ber-.\ no doubt, Mr. Carruthers will . sink
immensely in' public esteem, ile acted as a
hero is never'-supposed to act, br at least in
fiction. He lostraa opportonfty."Every one
who has studied the natara of true love as
depicted by the modern passionate writers
and skilled an aly sis ts of the human neart
must feel that Mr. Carruthers should have
then and there clasped Beatrice to his heart
and have sworn that love overruled every?
thing. He should have followed that one
modest kiss by thousands. . He should have
said, "What is the marriage tie when two
souls are in such ecstatic communion as
.yours and mine?' He should have said,
"There are other lands. Lands where ao_J
one knows us, where life may te a perpetual^
-dream of love. Let us fly there and /-be
fessed." In the mad whirl of his passionfsuch
?pies as she, for appearance^sake, urged

haihould have home her off,
bis forever aWLveverl Ye?, he lost such an
.opportunity thaj hiVconducc must be apolo^
gized fori
44 Beat rica, my lover," Tie said, hoarsely;
. He did none of these wild, passionate things
simply because he.was an English gentle?
man, who wished the woman he loved to be
bis wife and the lawful mol her of his chil?
dren.- True, that his love had carried him
away, sufficiently to make him willing to
blot out an imaginary past. It was great
enough to raise and restore tho woman he
loved, but it was not great enough, or shall
we say too great, to dream of degrading
her? _
CHAPTER xxvr
A WOMAN WITH A MISSION.
Inspiration, as a rule, soars above the pet?
tiness of detail, and of all inspiration that
ene whose wings are worked by religion flies
the highest and freest from trammels of
custom and caution. A man or a woman
inspired with an ethical mission to hu?
manity feels fully convinced that, provided
the eyes are kept steadfastly on the glorious
result, the brambles which have for ages
choked the path leading to the great goal
will in some mysterious manner get cleared
out of the way: without faith of this kind
inspiration sinks to the dull level of wisdom.
Sarah Miller was a woman with a mission;
a mission, however, of a personal, not of a
general nature. Her mission, as she read it,
was to insure the worldly happiness of her
beloved mistress, and her faith La the in?
spiration which prompted the task was such
as to make her believe that she would suc?
ceed.
Everything in this woman's li"e turned on
her devotion to Beatrice. Her mind wa*,
like a dark, sunle;s ruin, in tl$> canterof
which springs ono pure white marble colurnn,
and that column her love for her mistress.
The wild words she once usod when 1^lin

Beatrice's sake, if anything, fell.'!
truth.
It is absurd to suppose that any'
is entitled to such adoration iroi
creature. Very probably David h:
not deserve Jonathan's unparall?
tion any more than B?atrice dese
of Mrs. Miller. Nevertheless,
affection woro doled out into the si
personal merit most of us wouli
tremsly ill in this world. Simpi

whether by threats or by'?uti?a&ei' She
felt that all she had to do. waa tb inset-tho
man face to face, and thou she would And
herself giiided to act for the best. '
Bea erice, who had some misgivings on the
score of aUowing har faithful servant to
make so long a journey unprotected, bad
carefuEydooked uprou'.es.and trains; She
fancied that Sarah would travel in greater
ease and safety if she went to England via
Paris >by the j great through express train
which rims across Europe from. Constan?
tinople to Paris, stopping ondytwo or three
- times, in each country which, it; traverses.
So"Mrs!. Miller traveled in such luxury. as. a
railway train can offer.r' - : "
... She-reached London without any mishap,
Here she "went to a friend's, the one to whose
care Beatrice's correspondence had been in?
trusted. .After a night's rest had dispelled
the fatigue of the journey she bogan the first
part of her n?ssio5?--that of finding Maurice
. Hervey.... .. . . [ .....
J )The task was a admple one. She inquired
; -until she ascertained" where the register cf
ticket-of-leave men . resident in London was
kept; then, upon applying at the proper
office and satisfying the author!tics-that she
* soughtrthe man for no'evll purpose, the ad?
dress was given her. She took a cab and
drover straight to ifc
. Eervey, who; had py effluxion of means
been thrown from the lap of luxury onto
tho hard floor of l are existence, was housed
in what was little more than a garret. In?
deed the money which Mr. Field paid him
on behalf of Frank Carruthers was the one
plank between him and starvation. He had
parted with bia rings and other valuables.
Ail-that ho rcsld call his own was a decent
suit of clothes. This he had clung to tena?
ciously, knowing that if it ceases to tog?
ging, a fairly dressed man ha* a latte*
chance of awakening sympathy cru? OOM
who is in Tags and tatters. The contrast
between decent broadcloth and empty pock?
ets is so painful- that when asked one feels
compelled to do something to tone it down.
He. was sitting ih, his cheerless, sordid
room, smoking his short.pipe and working
"out schemsifofvengeance and plunder much
as he had. worked them out in .his secluded
state in Portland prison. He was-carsing
his own clumsiness and want of foresight,
as indeed h i cursed them at least a hundred
times a day., He wa? unwashed and un?
shorn, and his right arm, although nearly
mended, was still in one of those shiny
black slings. Altogether the mam was in a
condition of body and mind far from envi?
able.

What Our Editors Say.
. We Wonder.
. '= Columbia Becord.
r The following paragraph is clipped
from the News arid Courier of the 17tb
inst:
V"A little iconoclasm is now,yarder
in South Carolina. It is time
for ptH?ic offices the men who
lately ?t^cL those pla JCS, and
gard absoluteste notion that
the ConfederateVarmy, or
the bar, or a long) pedigree

or or tr M\ Kve the best men fdr

question. . JlHRers:4iot a jot whether
they spell thei^name ope. way or anoth?
er, or whether their Dame has a flavor
of France^ or of .England ;-or whether
they have or have not ac grand-fatjier
\hi, signed .the Declaration of Indepen?
dence, cr who would have signed it if
he had had the opportunity71
. We wonder what ; turn our esteemed
contemporary will take next 1 The tone
of the paragraph is so unlike the News
and Courier ..that-we would almost be
willing to, believe the. article was print?
ed by mistake. Does the News and<
Courier, really mean that the people
shall have a chance ? If the- editor is
in earnest, then . truly .has'a'change
come over the spirit of nb: dream; l?e
has really raised bis voice^for. the peo?
ple. . Not those "that 4well apia the
steeple,!' but the common,toiling, hon?
est, working people-who are worthy !
The people will say ia return,.;*4Well
done, good , bat; tardy 'servant !" t:But
what arc the brigadiers and those who.-|
have ;a "long;?pedigree of a hundred
years" going to say ? We will wait in
suspense for an. answer. '
. But, putting all levity:aside, the lan?
guage in the passage quoted expresses
our sentiments, and we have no doubt
will moet with - the bearty approval of
all fair-minded persons. Ther war has
been over now for more than twenty
years,_and it - is about time that thoee
who held position in the Confederate
army should have as much rights as
anybody else-but no more. Certainly
South Carolina has not been ungrate?
ful, and if there is an ex-Cod federate of
high rank within her borders who has
not held one or more positions, let him
speak. Our word for it, the people will
rally under his standard-;and elect him
to. office, provided he' prove himself ca?
pable and worthy. But the people of
this State are not given to idolary, and
should not be expected to indulge ia
hero-worship any more than they should
be expected to bow down before the
iron representation of^jie palmetto in'i
the State House^rounds. \VVi'?lregrahj'\
to those of "lp/hg pedigree," wo believe "
that the^oavc also as much right to the
suffrages of the people as anybody else,
but/object to the fossilized potion that
tViey have thc divine right to rule,
dimply because they can trace back tb
a "noble ancestry/* Unfortunately for
oome of this class they fire like the po?
tato vine-the best part being under
ground. Those who prove themselves
capable and worthy should be nomina?
ted and elected To office, not because of
"noble aucestry." "but to show that we
are guided by the teachings of the
American Constitution, which makes no
difference between lordly patrician and
and lowly plebeian. Let us be careful
that we select only those who are capa?
ble and worthy, and there will be no
necessity for looking up genealogical
records lo discover whether they are of
high or low degree.
The Blight of Standing Armies.
Ketc'i and Courier.
The enormous burdens imposed upon
the people of Europe by gigantic stand
lug armies and modern navies is indica
in thc estimate of Mr. Louis Apple?
tbat the total cost is nearly a thou
d million dollars a year. Of thia
fully a fourth is credited to Rus
while France*and England follow
$168,000,000 and ?155,000.000,
tively. Germany comes fourth
e?p?nSrtuf?i of only
ne^f the reasons; for the cnor
cost $5,000 a gua, and DOW some of
thee cost half a million dollars a gan.
Two of tjbe\I.taifab/lrpoeladfl":'obst,^4t
200,000 each, and five others will cost
over $20,000,000. "
Is it surprising t?jat ^now and again
the rulers of the European Governments
should be tempted-to east about for sonic
way "of diminishing tie drain upon the
resources of the peopled It must be
remembered that : the expenditure for .
these immense armies and Davies is un?
productive. The money, tu other words,;
which i's earbeo* bj the,. people : pf the

dently approaching, when there must be
a reduction of armaments, or -there will
be a wholesale emigration from Europe
to the United States. Peace, with.these
European nations, is as costly as war.

The Cause of Temperance.
Pee Dee Index.
It is a matter of gratification to ns
whenever we see the cause of temper?
ance succeeding in any portion of the
State aud a matter of regret whenever
we notice its failure, Along this line
wc were pleased to notice in the Herald
of last week that the New. Council of
L?ureos arc enforcing the law in that
town. From our observation of the
werkiug of the local option law in this
State, we have reached the opinion that
the law has not failed where it bas been
enforced. The trouble in Winnsboro,
Sumter, Orangeburg and other towns
where the local optiou law has failed has
been because the law was paralyzed by
unfriendly municipal government. The
citizens cf any town make a grave mis?
take to expect that opponents of the
law will carry out its provisions simply
because they are sicom officers ; they*
mast be m sympathy with the law. Had
Marion made the mistake of other
towns in this particular her . fate would
have been similar to thcrrsV Bat the
