CHAPTER XI. ^ A TCRS IS TH* WHEBLS OP FATE.

Palmer Earle and bis wife sent a somewhat formal hut kind letter of condolence to Mrs. Crabam upon her

upon Mrs. Graham and the Fields before their departure for Europe. They were not hard-hearted people —the Earles—and apart from Palmer Earle's unfortunate business connection with Harold, they bore no ill-will —certainly not toward Mrs. Graham. To be sure. Palmer Earle was Harold firahntn'a heaviest creditor, and lost a fargo amount of money through the failure, and for him to conqg$e as much as he had In writing

Doubtless be was sincere In this in•cluslve speech, but It was perhaps only chance that his eyes should rest especially, upon Beatrice In uttering the last words of regret; and it was, of course, but chance that Beatrice's bright face should grow rosier aud

shyer under his eyes.

"Oh. but then you know It Is only for two years, Mr. Bensonburst—I could wish It were ten.” cried Cora, vivaciously. *T wish I might live in Paris foreveri—I love It so!"

But John Wluthrop and bis falling* were forgotten for the time In the rush of preparations for the Journey; and the day of departure came, mid Mr*. Graham, with the Fields and Kathryn Franklin and Althea Duuraven, sailed In the Etruria. For a couple of weeks they lingered In London, aud then went up to Scotland In accordance with the desire of Frances, whose deep nature was touched by the picturesque scenery and the strong clan prejudices. Thence touching nt Paris, on to Toscany to rest for the summer. In the early autumn they went to Italy, to Rome and Florence; and ns the season Opened In Paris, they established themselves there for slu> winter: in the spring they would start eastward, and. returning, would give Cora another season In tho French city ere they returned home. Harold Graham had a sister, a Mrs.

John Wlnthrop had few acquaintances in tie city. Palmer Earle indorsed him utterly, and Palmer Earle's -word was law among moat; bnt socially, John Wlnthrop kept rather proudly apart Consequently, he dared not venture to call upon Mrs. Graham, although he had lately

beauties.

“I hate him!" she cried, breaihlessly, “There I* no need for me to tell you that I bate him. let me have his letter. Let me tear It to pieces, Alecla- I cannot endure that you should have even that of his In your possession. And some day be may learn how I hate him." "I think that you misjudge him.

"And unless you curb your temper Bee.” said Marion, calmly; “you will some day spoil-your life.” "Nevertheless," said Cora, laughing, "I believe that I would tbtfrpughly enjoy bearing Epitfire lecture Lawyer Granite! She would strike sparks from even his flint If any one could. X rather think he would clench those strung bands of his, longing to choke the words back in her teeth.” “And just to disturb that hateful calm of Ms, X would do much,” cried Beatrice, In a muffled voice, with Aleda's soft hands laid upon her rebel-

"And to know that be goes to Europe, too, makes me almost willing to give vp Paris,” added Cora.- With

Miss Beatrice. Only," hla voice was very winning, “yon are not to forget old friends for new.

Promise me that!”

“A promise qaslly given and easily kept Mr. Bensonburst" she answered, lightly. He should not be sUowed to guest that she cared more than the others. “One never forgets old faces If they arc faces of friends. One’s memory should be a pleasant storehouse of good things to fall back upon when there Is need. Who said that? Borne one. I am sure, for It never originated with me. I'm not n bit wise,

Alecla daring this time had regained her old brilliance, although there was an undercurrent of sorrow that gave added charm to her manner and conversation. She mingled more with the social life this season, and there y*re those who whispered that the beautiful American widow might accept more than one suitor, were she so disposed. But Alccia's heart was still her husband's, and her worldly knowledge saved her many friends who might have been turned from her had she given them the opportunity of offering her more than friendship. She could be reserved as well as attractive, these men learned, and ft jjero changed from warm friendship

by words of love.

So far, nowhere had the TVinthropa crossed the path of the Fields, and for this Alecla*was grateful. - 1 Not that she had forgotten John WThfhrop—iicf husband's ehc called him in her thought—for itfulness of him meant forgetfulness t her old memory. She did thlnk*of
