CHAPTER X—(Continued.) Beatrix went in search of Mr. Lennox. She never enjoyed anything very much unless her uncle shared in it. “Listen, uncle.” she said ”1 have found a hero listen to w hat my hero has done." In her clear, sweet voice, that seemed to thrill with passionate emotion, she read the story again, and then she laid down the newspaper. “She was only a servant goirl. uncle; but it seems to me that the more lowly the lot, the more striking is such generosity. Mad she been rich and had influence, he might have hoped for some reward; as it was, he could not have expected any. Uncle, I am glad that I read this. 1 shall always believe in heroes now.” “He is a clever man as well as a good one,” said Peter Lennox. “I tell you what, Beatrix— I am sure to drift into a lawsuit with the Eastern Mining Company; I shall place it in his hands. It will be worth several hundred pounds to him.” “When will that begin, uncle?” she asked. “Not for some time,” he replied. “I must have their answer first." “I should like to see Mr. Carew, and tell him what I think of him," she said. “So should I,” added'her uncle. "If he wins my case, I shall be delighted. That Eastern Mining Company is a complete swindle, although I am not prepar- । ed to prove it just yet.” So saying. Peter Lennox quitted the room, leaving his niece with the newspaper still in her hand. “Beltran Carew." she repeated to herself. “1 like the name. It is a beautiful name. ‘Beltran’ brings before me the picture of a belted knight. ‘Carew al ways had a noble sound. I wonder it 1 . shall ever see Beltran Carew ? 1 wonder

if he is like my ideal?” A few days after this the Duchess of Elmslie sent to ask if Beatrix would drive ^ut with her: and, having no special en gagement, she consented. “1 have a whim this morning, Beatrix." Baid her godmother, “and with me to have a whim means gratifying it.” “What is a whim?” asked Beatrix. “I am going to see Mrs. Carew. I low well you look in those trailing black Inees. Beatrix. They suit you so well. Yes, 1 am going to see Mrs. Carew.” “Who is Mrs. Carew?" The duchess opened her tine blue eyes. “Have you not heard of Mrs. Carew?” she said. “Then 1 will tell you about ; her. To begin with- she is a wonderful woman, a perfect wonder. She must be | more than forty; yet she has the look, the manners, and the grace of a girl of twen- | ty. She is witty; and even her husband whom I really consider most dense, so ! far as understanding goes can under , stand her jests, and laughs at them. She has pretty ways; she is charming in a i drawing room.” "But who is she?” asked Beatrix, al most impatiently. “You have not told me who she is.” “Mrs. Carew is an artist," replied her grace, “but an artist such as the world does not often see. She paints portraits —and such portraits’ They are master- I pieces of art. She will not paint every one. She selects her subjects, 1 assure you. Mrs. Carew came to London some twenty-five years ago, and she has con- । quered her world. It is one of the things that every one wants, to have a portrait painted by Mrs. Carew. You must have yours painted. Beatrix, as Dm hess of Heathland.” CHAPTER XL Mrs. Carew was an important unit in • London society. She held ground peculiarly her own. As the duchess had said, | her personal appearance was something wonderful. She had the fair, unruffled ; face, the clear, serene eyes and cairn smile ( of a young girl. She was so quick, so vivacious, so animated, that it was difficult to imagine forty summers had passed over 'her head. She had a charm of manner that was irresistible. Every one liked Mrs. Carew’. No one was jealous of her. | Tire gentlemen admired her—ladies did the same. It was her talent that made : her so popular- the bright-eyed. tail faced lady, who wielded her brushes with almost magical skill, was a genius. Besides a bijou house in Mayfair, sho hud a very beautiful villa at Kew. When ehe was tired of painting, tired of so ciety, tired of the gay, brilliant world and its ways, she went thither and spent a •lew days in seclusion by the riverside, i Ko one knew anything of Mrs. Carew’s vast history. Iler son, Beltran Carew, I was fine of the most promising young men in a day when many were of promise. lie bad been educated at Oxford, Md had chosen the bar as his profession. Mrs. Carew had many admirers, but the only reply she over made to offers of marriage, to professions of attachment, to vows and promises, was—“My dear sir, a burned child dreads the fire.” What mystery of pain and sorrow those words covered no one knew; still, everyone instinctively trusted in her goodness, her truth and purity. The Duchess of Elmslie was very desirous of ha ving her portrait painted, and the clay had come at last when her grace decided to call. She wished to take BeaTrix with be!-, because she knew that her dace would delight Mrs. Carew. They drove together to the house in Mayfair, and found Mrs. Carew at home, Ibut engaged. They were shown into a •yoom filled with articles of virtu; the veiling was painted; the hangings were 4>f blue velvet; the light lingered on deli-

cate pieces of statuary, on jeweled tazzas, marble and jasper. • There was a luxurious couch in the 1 apartment, and on it her grace sat down / to rest, for the morning was warm, and ' I she was tired. Miss 1 .ennov amused her ' I self by looking at the different objects I scattered on the tables, line thing struck i her very much a frame of ivory, so deli I eutely and beautifully carved, that it seemed too fragile to be touched. It eon j tained the photograph of a very handsome man fair, with wholesome, healthy fairness, and with great waves of chestnut ' hair clustered round a broad, beautiful brow a fair, noble, kingly face, full of grandeur, of nobility, full of truth and thought. At first she thought it must be a fancy photograph. "1 am sure this is meant for King Ar thur,” she said to herself. "It is just the face for the blameless king, who strove all his life against evil. It is the best face I have seen.” Something in it charmed her. She at bending over it, looking intently at it. and the blue eyes seemed to look back into her own w ith an anxiously intent gaze. "It is a fine fare," thought Beatrix. “But there are no such men in these days. The Duke of Heathland is the best specimen I know, and his face could not com pare with this. 1 can trail full vitality, strong, perfect life here, with goodness and honor. In the faces of many living men I read vanity , self-love, indolence, or ■ j greed. King Arthur, you have a mdde J I face, and I am the better for having -mm I ' 't” She placed the phofogiaph > the table; 1 the duchess was dozing calmly. A short j time afterward Mrs. Carew was d:^mi gaged. Her grace and Beatrix went nt ' once to her studio, the duchess protesting I vigorously, although uncoil radiated, that i sho had not closed her eye., "It was m>t l likely." she said, "in that palace of art ” Beatrix looked on with some curiosit'.

at the blight eyed, graceful holy who nd | i vanced to meet them. How little did <dm j ; dream that her life would run m at» ugh 4 ■ ( web with that of the WonderfU: a rl o ’ who ' ’ gazed so admiringly nt her’ Tie dm-hc** I । introduced Mrs. t'arew t- Mt" la u x. i and the artist’s face paled as she looked | at the lovely girl in the flush of youth and j beauty. Mrs. Carew began to arrange with th. i duchess ns to when she should begin her I sittings; but while she talked to her gnu < “ I she wns looking the whole time nt the i I lovely patrician face <>f "Prim-c t htirTeV (daughter. Then, uln n all the artati.' meats were' macle. Mrs, t’arew s f <id laugh I ingly: "Now that our business is . <>m imb-l, ( will your grace allow me to show y. u (some very beautiful sketches ” The I duchess gave glad consent. “Miss LeuI nox, you will be pleased with these. 1 . think." added Mrs. t’arew. Sin' seemed to listen with s. inter, st : for Beatrix's voice. She looked intently ( |nt her as she spoke. SI" watched her keenly as she placed the sketches before* her. Some were landscapes, others tig • urs. “This is pretty." said Mrs Carew “a j little summer idyl; it is called ’ The Lox i ers’ Quarrel.’ ” "My dear Mrs. Carew." said tb<> du h i ess. "one of Miss Lennox's peculiaritie s , is that anything relating to love and lev ers annoys and vexes he:.” Such a strange light passed over the I beautiful lace of the artist a strange ' light that seemed to flash from her eye’s into the dark beautiful one s raised to ( hers. "is that so?” she said. "So young an I iso capable of winning love, do y.m not I believe in it?" "I do not believe in what the people I I seo call love, Mrs. t’arew. 1 cannot say ! what I should think if 1 met with real ; love.” “Ah." said the artist, quietly, ”1 under- । stand!” “It is more than I do.” declared the duchess; ami then the door opened, and a gentleman entered the room. CHAPTER XII. "Mother.” cried a manly, fresh, musical voice, and then the voice stopped. “I beg pardon,” he said, in an altered tone; “1 thought, you were alone.” Mrs. t'arew turned round v. Uh a beam ing smile. "Come in. Beltran." she r"qm"U< d. "I am sure that the* din Les - and Mi s I.cn nox will excuM you. Pray <ome in, mv dear.” "1 am glad to see Mr. Carew," raid (he : dm hoss; while Beatrix, with a low, star ■ tied cry, dropped the sketch that she held ] j in her hand, it was "King Arthur” him ( self, tho original of the photograph, who I was standing there “King Arthur," j whose* face* she had thought too beautiful j ami too good to be that of any mortal i man’ “We have met before*, Mr. Carew,” re marked the duchess, good-naturedly. “Bray come in. I ought to apologize for monopolizing your mother; but I have been very anxious, and my peace of mind has only just been secured.” ■ “I am delighted to hear it, your grace.” - he said; and then, looking across the room, , lie saw Beatrix Lennox. I heir eyes met and his hold hers cap- - five; while one of the strangest, and most I solemn pauses ensued. Mrs. Carew broke * it. She glanced from her son to the bril - liant queen of society, and then moved ■ slowly toward them. “Miss Lennox, permit me to introduce i my son—Beltran Carew.” , She wondered why the dark eyes flashed i and the lovely face flushed. She was not ' demonstrative, “Prince Charlie’s” daught tor, but she had met her hero, and her - whole soul was stirred. She held out her

hand to the man who had striven to save a human life the white a,lr< ^ hand that so seldom went out in She looked tip into his fact', ^'^'ting. "Art' you the Mr. Beltran Cn whom I read yesterday?” sho asked V 9 * the music of her voice was dun™ "Hit' gentleman who gave himsej ( f rOUB T infinite trouble to save a poor ,q,,i> "Yes, I helped to save her life" g re; " swered. ’ ho »« "You are a noble man," Bftid H never thinking how dangerous might he from such lips. "When 1 i that story, 1 said that 1 should lik^m see you ami thank you. I little dj ..^ nod that I should soon be able to do 8o ” "I have my reward,” he HU j d( b ' ouding before her, his heart beating h, h and fast. At this point Mrs. Carew called her son to decide upon son^* design for a picture frame, and then Beatrix wnM able to look at him. He seemed to ln#r its though every moment of his Hf,, W ere of immense importance to him, as though ('very instant were tilled up. The large blue eyes were bright ami intent; the face was eager, earnest, ardent; the lips .qen* clear cut and closed firmly there was no weaknesa, no vacillation about tb'' n, •

Presently Beltran crossed t spoke to b.er about art ami ■ in a short time they were Strathnarn, Liaiw "You lived there all those yea n<> one but the members ~f household?" In- said. "Why, *llnox. th.it must have nmde you » lO< t ur n painter.” "1 am afraid," she replied, “that it has I made me somewhat of a misanthrope.” i "1 should not be surprised,” he l/dightM. । “Nature has one voice, men have an- । other. 1 think if I had lived so lung in solitude I should never have left it.” “1 did not wish to do so,” said Beatrix; “it was a sad trouble ty me. When I first left Strnthnarn and came to London,” she said, "my life was quite unendurable; but now I have grown aceustomed to it 1 like it better than 1 ever thought 1 should. 1 do not care for the gaieties, the pleasures, but I begin to like the activity of London life, the mental excitement.” "Beatrix,” interim sed the duchess, “I think ve are trespassing on Mrs. Carcw’n time." “1 hope not," said Beatrix, rising quickly; and Mrs. Carew assured her that she was nt leisure for the remainder of that morning. Tin' Huehesx of Elmslie gave Mrs. Carew ami het son a very pressing invita- ‘ tion to dim nt Elmslm House, and they j accepted it. "I intend having a grand charade pnrty ,or fnm-y ball." she said "I think a fancy i ball wmil'l bo best: and, Mr. Carew, 1 i shall Imp.- t<> have the great pleasure of i y<mr soi ety. You must come in eharacI trr.'* "I sh ill be very happy,” he returned. Mrs t mew bad be« n for some minutes ' intently watching the face of the lovely girl before h<r. She sold: j "Miss letHiox, 1 should like to nsk you "i am quite l itre that 1 should (squally I like to grant it." res|wmded Beatrix. "Will you let me paint your portrait? h -i ■ bib..r of lore.f

I dmuid like to call it vrhat ( should 1 roll it, Beltran?" " The 'Lotus Lily.’ ” hr rqplicd; and Mrs. Carew's face brightened. "You always timl the right «!v«igna. tiop,” sin* said. “The 'lx>!us Lily' al- • d\ • •ci i— io no* that jou- r- pt-> -o v the flower. Miss Lentm.v.

WOMEN AID THE STRIKERS. Lend Their Efforts to Assist the Coal Miners —The Present Situation. The week has seen no change in the coal miners’ strike. The men who are out still maintain their resolute starfd, and deciare that they will not go back until their just demands are acceded to. The women of the Turtle Creek valley of Pennsylvania have joined hands with the strikers. Their attention has been called to the fact that the injunction which prevents the strikers from venturing upon the property of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company applies to men only and that nothing in it is said about women. They have been urged to go where the men are unable to and add their entreaties and prayers to those of the strikers in their efforts lo have the men who are yet at work lay down their tools. 1 he women will enter heart and soul into the work and do all in their power to coax the men out. A bomb was thrown into the camp of the striking miners at Sandy Creek when the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company refused to pay the wages due its men. A bitter fight, will be made in the courts by the United Mine Workers to gam the money f or the strikers. The m i" • । ’’i 1 ' * leve l a,, d company has individual contracts with all its men that •ire binding and tight. O ne of G le pro . visions is that in case the men quit work voluntarily, against the wish of the company, they sacrifice all wages yet unpaid in the hands of the company. This District President Dolan of the' Mine Workers. who will make the fight in the courts for the men, considers grossly illegal and will make a test of the legality of the contiacts with the men as early as possible. Ho says the company violated them in two instances ami that they have thereby dissolved all binding obligations on the men. The amount due the Sandy Creek miners is their wages for the first two weeks in July. 1 he miners arc acting in a peaceable and orderly manner and although several mass meetings have been held during the week no violence of any kind has been threatened. TO WED MRS. LANGTRY.

Austrian Prince Who Is to Marry the ‘‘Jersey Lily.” I rince Esterhazy De Galantha, who, it is announced, will soon lead Mrs. Langtry to the altar, is a noted character in Europe, although not well known in America. He is prominent in Austria and is very favorably known at the court of his ■ PRIM E ESTERHAZY DE GALANTHA. country. Mrs. Langtry's prospective husband is 54 years old, but it is said that he does not look or feel his age by twenty years. His marriage may provoke no end of comment in continental journals, but, it is highly probable that Prince Paul will care little what the journals say about

him. Mis. Langtry’s recent divorce leaves her free to wed. OHIO POPULIST TICKET. Middle of the Road Men Nominate Coxey for Governor,.
