Colonel Childes had been informed at once, and with Charlie Quintard and Mignon, had gone there imâ€" mediately. And Erle Childes had placed his cool palm upon the burning brow, looking downward with eyes that were filled with tears. "I do forgive you," he said gentâ€" ly, "fully and freely. I promise you that living or dead I shall find Bebe, and that I will redeem the past in so far as lies in mortal power." And then he was summoned away before the dry sobs in Meredith Lansing‘s throat had died away. "My whole heart has been centred in you and Bebe. I don‘t ask you to forgive me, because I know you could not, but at least tell me that you will find her and beseech her to think as kindly of me as she can." Mignon remained beside her dyâ€" ing father, holding the hot hands in hers. She had not loved him, but with all her tender heart she was sorry for him. They did not speak, but as they sat so Soeur Mathlide entered. "You see, I have not had time to grant you the few moments you asked, Mr. Lansing," she said softâ€" ly. "The Commune has been so terrâ€" ible in its destruction." "Are there many dying?" "So many! There are men and woâ€" men, and even little, unoffending children, who never can recover. But the saddest case, perhaps, is that of a young girl, so beautiful, who was shot in the back." "Fatally ?" ‘"Alas! yes." "Poor child." "She does not seem to feel it a misfortune, but the very greatest blessing. There are some cases in which death is preferable to life, Mr. Lansing." She who had been for the greater portion of her life called Mignon Moreau was beside him. She had heard the story of her owh life, and of Bebe‘s; she knew who it was that lay upon that couch dying, but she also knew that if she would not shorten her sister‘s life by a few precious moments, she must say noâ€" thing. And how very precious those last moments are to the ones who are left behind. It was in following his leader in a brave attempt to quell the Comâ€" munists that Meredith Lansing had been shot, receiving a wound which he knew from the beginning would prove fatal. "I could not die, Erle, without one kind word from you, my lad," he said, lifting his wan face wistfully. "I DIE CONTENT" Under the physician‘s personal superintendence, the cot containing the form of Meredith Lansing was brought as gently as possible, and placed side by side with that of Bebe. A Child‘s Need "Hush, dear. It is too late to reâ€" gret, eternally too late. God is giving you your happiness in the right way. He knows best." "There is nothing to forgive, poor little one," he answered tenderly. "I am the one who has erred. I am the one who should plead for pardon. My own life has not been so blameâ€" less that I could cemsure you for a fault which was beyond your power to avoid. I have wronged you, Bebe, but if I could die to save you, I think you know I would. Oh, little one, little one, I am so miserably gullty."\ Scott‘s Emulsion "She told me last night. My single sin against you has been in a conâ€" fession of love which was wrung from me through suffering. She gave her life for me, but your honor she has preserved through all!" "You forgive him, Edwin?" whisâ€" pered the child. Childes grasped it warmly.
