-CCL m m n i im Race for a BY Wife HAWLEY SMART CHAPTER II. Continued.) "Thanks : but you have not told me yet Whether you enjoyed your ball.' "Yes, that I did; I got lots of danc ing, and I do like that, you know. But how about yourself. Gren? I don't think you quite did your duty." "Pretty fairly, I fancy. We can't be expected to consummate the amount of pirouetting that your sex delight In. I danced a good deal, and it was real pleas ure to me to see the little sensation you made. I like to see my pretty cousin appreciated as she should be, and taking her legitimate position in the county.' "And what's that, pray?" "Why, us the belle of all Hampshire, of course. I wish, though, you hadn't danced with that fellow, Pearman last liicht. I've a sort of presentiment ill will come of it." "You stupid Grenvllle; what can come of It? I am not likely to see him again for months perhaps never.. At the worst, recognition of his existence on meeting is all that quadrille entails. "Well, I suppose you are right, Maude ; but It is time I was ou Good-by." And Grenvillc's pulse tingled a little, as his lips touched the fair check so quietly yielded to him. "Kind regards to my un cle nnd aunt; and drop me a line now and then." "Don't be afraid of that," laughed Miss Denison; "don't I always write to you when I want anything? and am I not always wanting something? I think the past might testify in my favor. Good- by; don't be lonS before you come and Denison of Glinn see ua again. Grenville Rose pondered moodily over his visit, as he drove to the station. He had not quite mastered the fact that he was in love with his cousin, but he had arrived at some c'osc apprehensions on the subject. He frit that he would have been a good deal better satisfied had hb parting salute been much less easily ac corded. Ma uup, fresh as n rose, after a turn round the garden, comes in just in time to greet her mother on her return to the dining room. Petting her mother is one of the chief pleasures of Maude Denison's life. On this occasion she conducts her into the easychair next the fire, makes the tea, -and then, drawing a stool near, seats herself at Mrs. Denison's feet, and with girlish delight recounts all her suc cesses of the previous night; to which the fond mother listens with quiet happi ness, as her hand plays with her daugh ter's silken tresses. That nobody could eclipse, that nobody could ever be wor thy of mating with her peerless Maude, was a thing that Mrs. Denison would have deemed absurd to argue. "And, mother, dear," said the girl, at last, "Grenville said, before he went away ibis morning, I was quite the belle of the ball. What do you think of your daugh ter now? Won't that satisfy papa, al though lie did grumble so about the ex pen? of the dress?" "Yes. love. He will be quite content ed when he hears how thoroughly you en; joyed yourself. I am only so sorry that I was not strong enough to have been nresent myself at my darling success. Harold Denison entered the room In his usual listless fashion. He kissed his daughter carelessly, asked if she had en all done now, past recall; still, as far is it lay within her power, the wife was willing to bear her share of the burden Harold Denison's folly had entailed on Ills family. nd pray, Maude, did Mr. Pearman honor Xmlnstcr with his presence last night?" inquired her father, sarcastically. "Youig Mr. Pearman was there, but not the old man. Ho seemed to know a good many people there. Mr. Brlsden- "Yes, it's the old story. The old county families are swept away by these spinners, brewers, solicitors, and such Hko. Another hundred years, and there won't be one of the old names left In the neighborhood." Breakfast Is over. Maude flits away to her own little sanctum, with its piano, books, and budding camellias; Mrs. Den ison goes off for a conference with the old housekeeper; while the squire betakes himself to his study, to struggle with fig ures and hold gloomy converse with Thompson, his farm bailiff. The mother and daughter do not feel much mental perturbation about the difficulties that threaten them. For the last five years have they not heard Mr. Denison dis course in the same melancholy strain? Constant jeremiads lose their effect; they thought little of tliQ growling of the storm. But Harold Denison, as he sat puzzling his head in his room over that made her acquaintance, In fact. Now that's1 the lady I've marked down an my Intended." , "Yes,"' said the old man musingly, "that might do If we could bring It about; but he's a proud man, the father very." "We'll come to that presently. Just listen while 1 reckon up nil the advan tages. First of all, I have taken a fancy to tho girl, She's a real beauty, every Inch of her. In- the next place, sho'a an only child. Consequently, it's only fair to suppose that Glinn and what a left' with It will eventually Tall to her. We have got most of the old property now; and that would Insuro tho whole thing being In our hnuds at last." "Yours, Sam, yours. It is not likely I'd last to sec it. Harold Denison Is full twenty years younger than I am, and his wlfo Is younger again: they'll see me out, boy." "Well, father, Its no use denying It may be so.

Mrs. Denison signeu. sue nod gone through n good many such breakfasts in her time, and felt as helpless as ever in Kuirirefltine expedients for tne occasion "It's very unfortunate," she said at length. Mr. Pearman is not pressing, at all events, I hope.' "No; he has the grace to remember that two-thirds of the property have al ready fallen Into his hands, lie Is al ways tolerably lenient about his money. The fellow knows, moreover, that his is the first mortgage on the estate; and, I daresay, at times looks forwprd to being the eventual owner ot Ulinn. biiouiun't wonder If he was, too, some of these days," muttered Denison bitterly. "I used to grieve once, Nell, that wo hadn't a son; I begin to think now It was all for tho best, I should feel It more If I had to think that my boy would never be master here. Yet that is pretty well how the case would stand if we had one." "Providence knows what is best for us, Harold," returned his wjfe, softly; "It was a sore source of trouble to us once; but, as you say, it spares us some bitter' thoughts now." She associated herself with him In his career of extravagance as If she had been equally to blame, though, as far as her gentle uaturo dared, uho had entered more than one meek remonstrance at his reckless career. But Mrs, Denison was pot the woman to throw her husband's fault continually in bis teeth. .It was "I don't see any reason you should not; on the contrary, I should like to see it. Not going to make a fool of your self, I suppose" and the old man look ed keenly at his son. "Tell you more about It when it comes off; but certainly not, I think, in the de sign. We've made a good bit of money between us. I'm not going to say it isn't most of it yours; still, since I have been having a share In the concern, I've put some together myself. Now, what I want in marriage is connection, more than money." "Yes yes, I. think you nre right; but there will be difficulties difficulties, I fear." "Of course there will, to a certain ex tent; there always is about getting any thing worth having in this world; but money is a key to most things nowadays, Tottering coronets must be propped by wealthy alliances.

Yes, I think-that's best; but it would do no harm If you could see your way Into a trifle of property besides." "Exactly.
