" Madame Berrogain might not "Milord, you will only be ill agree with the fellow'suruined. You again," remonstrated the old man. ""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.

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*- Bible," he replied, with hie rare and 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 �yaghar gray Noir came in, and, having heard astliness which only comes on t r=ows iu bis cool, uninterested way, eat remarked carelessly : "Well, lade we will do the beat weoan for you, if you win stay on with us. �,. et 1 came Then *the bolt of rugg a ai future as he.ftntied before bias, tbo fitti�re of ai. restreiipt which he bad chosen.” Waiting'ratherimpatiently till rho do re of the luggage rowut back to.

They were sad, but on the "Good-bye.

Ain't you a quays. She, the holy child of his fool 1 ain't you a fool, Milord 1" 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 could you not let 'tile leavfi th'q DSS.

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 Good 1 I think we have r,.tracedrhim." 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' a.Drleans" the chief states that a man Aitiwatrng to your description,much • above the usual height, pale, with thick light hair and ma d. st cast in One eye, was ,t}lia. /morning at the station.

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.

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- tunate for a miserable trifle such as that !" "I am not rich," said Donovan, "nor are you unfortunate." ' "Miserable Englishmen!" cried out M. Berrogain. "Why do you mock me? You aro come to drive mo to dispair, to death 1 Why 1'0 BE CONTINUED.
