""You'll do for yourself one of these know he can't live here."
"You are mistaken," said Dono-
van, quietly. "He is not ruined."
"What!" cried Noir, in a startled
voice. "You mean that you have
let bim off ? that you've been such
an utter fool as to let those thou-
sands slip through your fingers
again?"
"Exactly--yes—such an utter
fool," said Donovan with a touch of
satire.
"Well, Milord, you are a softer
fellow, then, than I thought. A
woman's tears and an absurd scare
lest a weak minded wretch should
have drowned himself, and you melt
directly, become the generous hero
of the piece, fling "largesse" to right
and left. and walk off amid cheers
and applause. I had no idea you
were so weak minded ! Besides,
you know well enough you'll repent
your bargain in a few days. As
your favorite Monsieur Renan says,
'Most beautiful actions are done in
a state of fever.' You will recover
and repent it."
"Do I seem feverish ly excited?"
asked Donovan, quietly. "And. do
I generally fail in deliberation?"
"Don't bother him now," inter-
posed the old captain. "We've
had an awful day of it."
"What in the world you did it
for I can't conceive," said Noir, un-
heeding. "You' who profess to
rail at the injustice of life 1 you
who call yourself a misanthrope
What induced you to spend your
time on such a *catch? What does
it matter to you if all the world is
ruined?"
"I suppose, after all, I didn't
hate the whole world," said Dono-
van slowly, "or else the hatred was
all needed in another direction."
Noir caught his meaning, and;
because he could just recognize it
humility and sad honesty, it roused
all the evil in him; he knew that
his companion was slipping away
from him.
"And how does your moral high-
ness propose to live if you refund
the money you won?" The question
was put with a contemptuous sneer.
"How shall I live, Noir," answer-
ed Donevan, gravely, "I cannot tell,
but by gambling l shall not live."
"We shall see," said Noir, "when
you recover from this state of fever.
Why, do you think that in a mo-
ment like this you can end the
strongest incentive of your life?
You know1 perfectly well that you
do not care a rush for anything ex-
cept cards."
"You've about bit it," said Dono-
van; "but," with a firmness which
seemed to give treblelforce to eaoh
separate word, "I will not play
again."
For a minute both the FreWins
were silent ; both involuntarily
looked at their companion as he lay,
his thin skilful hands clasped over
his dark hair, his face resolute and
full of noble purpose. He was
quietly renouncing all he had as yet
cared for in life—all by which he
could win admiration, success, plea-
sure, and these two men know it.

lie would have moved 'to the
staircase, but Mme. Berrogain laid
her hand on his arm. She glanced
rapidly at the paper, and now the
tears were streaming down her
cheeks.
"No, no; monsieur,. that is too
good ! Ibis must not be ! Take it
back, monsieur, I implore,"
"Madame' asks what is imps*-

beautiful smile. "One day's pod•
session is sufficient for me. Only,
if I might be allowed one auggea-
tion, I would say that it were bet-
ter need for madames own needs,
not risked again at baccarat."
"Ah ! God bless you! God guard
you 1" exclaimed the little wife,
clasping her hands together. "Mon-
sieur, I shall remember you always.
On my knees I eha11 remember
you—believe it. Ali ! Heaven !
if all were but like you!"
He submitted to having his band
pressed in both hers for a moment
then, bowing low, he hastened
away.
After that, naturally enough,
came the reaction. He was dread-
fully worn out, and, apart from his
relief, everything that faced him in
the future was most painful. For
this great shock had shown him
what a hateful life he was leading,
and he knew that it must be for-
saken.
He found the old captain in his
room smoking, told him of M. Ber-
rogain's probable whereabouts, and
then, with a sigh of great weariness,
stretched himself at full length on
the hearth rug. Before very long

The old captain, with maudlin
tears coursing down his cheeks,
hurried after the retreating figure,
and it was long before Donovan
could quiet the piteous entreaties
that be would change his mind,
would stay at least a few days long-
er,
onb
er, or would promise to come back
when he had seen Ell. Berrogain.
Parting with his companions was a
greater wrench than he had feared
even; they had been very good to
him, had nursed him through his
illness with rough but very real
care, and they were the only friends
he bad in the whgle world. ..nd
yet he knew that he muat leave
them; they were inseparably bound
up with the evil he was trying to
free himself—both must be re-
nounced.
He took leave of Rouge that
night, and early next day started
on his solitary journey—solitary
with exception of Waif. The ad-
dress be needed had been telegraph•
ed to the station, and it was a sub-
stantial relief to his anxiety to be
able to repeat to himself the as-
surance of M. Berrogain'i safety—
"Hotel Montre; Rue Montesquieu,
Bordeaux." There was, however,
just a little flatness and depression
now that all was ended. He took
hia ticket and then went into the
Salle d' attente, the "durance vile"
whin generally gives an English-
man a chafed, caged feeling. As
he passed up and down, too, there
was a touch of a far-off dread in
his face—the dread of the unknown
future, which of all expressions is
one of the most painful to see.
Noir Frewin, suddenly entering
the room in search of his late com-
panion, caught the look and under-
stood it. Unprincipled as be was,
he could not help respecting a re-
solution which could so steadily
perserve in direct opposition to per-
sonal wishes, and there was none
of the malice of the previous night
in his tone when be spoke.
Donovan turned hastily at the
sound of his own name; he was ill
prepared just then for a repetition,
of the scornful upbraidings which
he had borne silently a few hours
ago. Noir saw that bis arrival was
not very welcome.
"I'm only come to see you off,"
he explained. "You're quite right,
Milord, after all; go and save your-
self while you can."
"Saving is not the question,"
said Donovan, "even if I believed
in such a thing. But at any rate
one needn't do others harm."
"A change in your views, lad,
since we first went into partner-
ship," said Noir. "Your anger
with whoever it was who had ruined
you has cooled with time."
"Ilia offence looks small now that
I am the bigger brute," replied
Donovan. Then, as the doors wore
thrown open, he put his arm with-
in Noir's once more, and they went
out together to the train.
"Good bye, old fellow," he said,
rather hoarsely, just before the final
start. "Let us hope my lungs will
not give out again, or I shall be
crying out for you."
"Till then we are best away from
each other," said Noir, giving his
hand a farewell grip. "Good bye,
Farrant. We part as we met, you
see, in a railway carriage."
The train moved off; Frewin,with
,a fierce sigh, turned away, and
Donovan was whirled through the
vast plains of central France, mar-
veling not a little how his compan-
ion had learned his real name,which
he had taken r,uoh pains to conceal.
Thirteen hours later and he was
standing in the crowded room at
the Bordeaux station. He was
very tired, a trifle desolate, too,
alone among foreigners, alone with
such. a "howling wilderness" of a

they were standing by the drap-
ed mantel piece. Donovan partied
away as he spoke, and putting
aside the muslin cattalos looked
down into the dimly lighted street.
He was not sorry to feel the fresh
air upon his face.
There was a moment's silence,
then, &I. Berrogain came forward
and took his hand.
"My friend," he said, falteringly
"forgive what I have said. "I was
in despair. But thia generosity
—no—no, it can not be, it can not
be."
"It must be," said Donovan,
quiety.
"No, no ! leave me enough to go
on upon, or allow rue six months
respite, I should be more than con-
tent with that."
"But I should not," said Dono-
van, decidedly. "No, Berrogain,
everything is settled, so do not let
us waste words on the subject."
"But it is unheard of 1" said M.
Berrogain. "It is noble, generous,
kind; but, wy good friend, before
you commit yourself, think how
you wi 1 get on in the world, if you
act in such a way 1"
"That," said Donovan, "is a ques-
tion yet to be solved, but I do not
mean to live by other men's losses.
Enough has been said though about
it all. Can one get anything to eat
in this place ? I'm 'furiously hun-
memory, was at peace. It was gry."
perhaps well that she had passed "All! but you are an Englishman!"
away from him; he had not been
fit to be near such purity and love-
liness, and as she had grown older
it was possible that he might have
pained her—pained her by his an -
worthiness. The thought was in-
tolerable. And so unconsciously,
he repeated to himself Noir Fre-
win's words—"We were better
parted." Neither of them knew
that the unselfishness and humility
prompting the thought was draw-
ing them to the Souroe of all love.
The walk was a long one,
through broad well built streets,
past the theater; on again into
narrower and darker thorougfares,
till Donovan began to wonder
whether the porter whom he had
hired to carry his portmanteau
were not perhaps taking him by
some roundabout way in the hope
of extorting a larger pourboire. At
last, turning to the left, they passed
through a circular market place,
and down -a narrow street with
high dingy looking houses.
"There, monsieur," said the
porter, with a wave of the hand,
"that is the Hotel Montre.
Donovan saw at the corner the
inevitable Cafe Billard, and upon
the upper stories the name of the
hotel inscribed. The porter went
on to the entrance, and Donovan,
following, found himself in a paved
court yard with two moldy looking
orange trees growing in tuba, and a
dim light proceeding from the
days."
"That means that I shall do the
treat thing that could be done," said
Donovan, with an odd sudden smile
followed by a quick sigh. "But
you see, captain, this coil of flesh is
terribly tough. Good night ! go
borne and rest."
He -pushed back his chair sud-
"r lenly, threw down a franc beside
the captain's cup, and before
Fria companion could remonstrate
mad walked away rapidly alone.
At length, wearily and quite
hopelessly, he went to see if any of
the agencies he had set to work had
been successful in tracing M. Ber-
amgain. He had some minutes to
'omit in the bureau of the chief offi-
o al, but at last a small, sharp faced
Baan appeared with a paper in his
dsand, and an all pervading odor of
;;1'. ', 'gar1iG, which was quite beneath the
' r9igndty of his position.
`"You are come to inquire
ger Theodore Berrogain, disappear -
'feel .aalysteriously since the hour of

Donovan did not speak, only
'breathect more quickly and clinched
stnd'unclinehed his hands, his usual
sign of strong feeling.
• "Inquiries have been made, and
this is the 'resort -'-.at the "Gare d'

Dou'stless the man thought the
'Ufriendship" was a remarkable one
-one must love a companion much
'to be so particularly anxious about
him, and Donovan's intense relief,
'though undemonstrative,was never-
theless apparent even to the sleepy
official. He arranged to call early
the next morning, for further tid-
ings, and then hurried away to
relieve poor Mme. Berrogain'* anx-
iety.
Any one who knows the sensa-
aon of a sudden respite, the remov-
al of an intolerable load, the relief
from oppressing fear, will under-
stand with what feelings Donovan
hastened along tho gas lighted
streets. He was treading on air;
new life was coursing through his
'veins; tho very consciousness of free,
unburdened existence was in itself
exquisite. And then came the sat -
'ideation of imparting his hopeful
now to the poor wife, amid a tor-
rent of fervid thanks; tears, incoher-
rent blessings and ,exclamations of

Charges moderate.
A call solicited. Victoria St., Clinton
said M. Berrogain, amused by
the request. 'There is a restaurant
just • opposite; let me come with
you."
"To watch the voracious island-
er!" said Donovan, laughing. "To-
night I shall keep up the national
character. I could eat half a roast
beef if there was a chance of getting
it."
"Ah 1 is it possiblel"0 said the
Frenchman. "Ana at this time
of night, too !"
He did not think that the anxi-
ety which he had caused could
possibly have affe3ted his compan-
ion's appetite on the previous day,
and sat amusedly Pt the table,
watching the absolute demolition of
the largest piece of roast beef which
the restaurant could produce
room of the concierge. He inquir-
ed at once for M. Berrogain, and
was relieved to find that he was
known still by his real name. He
was within, too; had taken his key
notfive minutes before. Would mon-
sieur see him at once or be shown
to his own room?
Donovan desired to see M. Ber-
rogain at once, and, having dismis-
sed his guide, was ushered by a
pretty, little white capped servant
up a dirty stone staircase, along a
labyrinth of passages, then up again
and through a corresponding laby-
rinth darker and dirtier than that
below.
"Perhaps Monsieur sleeps," sug-
gested the maid, glancing round as
she paused at a door to the right.
'-It is very late," and she pretended
to yawn.
"Knock and see," said Donovan,
impatient of the delay.
A quick entrez! relieved his fears,
and, taking the candle from his
conductress, he opened the door arid
found himself in a fairly comfortable
room, where, extended on a shabby
green velvet sofa, lay M. Berrogain,
the Figaro in his hand, the Gironde
lying at his feet. For a moment
the thought would come: "He is
unconcerned and comfortable enough
you n ed not have troubled about
him." But while Donovan paused
the unconscious Frenchman glanced
round. He had been absorbed in
his paper, and had half forgotten
that some one had knocked and
been admitted; now, catching sight
so unexpectedly of the man who
had ruined him, he sprung to his
feet with a cry half of fear, half of
passion.
"Ah ! evil one, why do you pur-
sue me ?" he said, in trembling
tones. "Would you i emember a
petty debt of two hundred francs,
when you have won a fortune- from
me? Stony hearted wretch l would
you pelt a fallen man 1 You have
tracked me—you, the rich, the suc-
cessful, will hunt down the unfor-

"I am not rich," said Donovan,
"nor are you unfortunate."

out M. Berrogain. "Why do you
