Ho had seen young Pearnian upon two or three occa sions only. That gentleman, though the blood of his father ran strong in his veins, had unite sufficient tact to avoid showing it. He dressed quietly, and ab stairied from self-assertion when mixing with the class? in which ho was so anx ious to establish himself. He was. nat urally. too careful of his monev to fall into the error of most parvenues, that of ostentatious display. The little he knew of him had not jarred on Harold Den! son. As to Maude, her affections must be wholly unfettered. If she could be brought to think of this man as a hus band, it would really be a good thing for her In the end. And by such reasoning the squire gradually . worked himself round to the conviction that it was, at all events, his duty to submit I'earman's proposal to Maude, and, further, to press It strongly on her attention But before Harold Denison had arriv ed at this conclusion, there had been much grief at Gllnn. He had told his wife of the contemplated foreclosing of the mortgage, and explained to her that it meant ruin that is, ruin Inevitable, as far as their still continuing the possessors ot ulinn went. "Yes, Nellie, it's all over." said the squire; "I'm beaten at last. Dear old Gllnn must go through the hands of the auctioneer, and become the property of whatever greasy trader happens to have most money at his disposal just now.

Harold, to give up. what has been .the home of ypur people for so many generations!" I don't deny it.

"If it came all the way from the Conqueror, its Worth on stamp- . ed paper is the only valid test ham Pearnian. when he heard the re sult of his father's mission, took rather a different view of it from his progenitor, As n younger man he lacked the patience ana men, moreover, was mere uot tne blow to his self-esteem? Between twenty and thirty we feel that acutely; from thirty to forty, with a sort of modified soreness: at fifty the conceit has been taken out of most of us. and we are no longer astonished at finding that the world rates us a little lower than our own val nation.

Though not so successful as he could have wished, yet. to a certain ex tent, he had worked his way Into the county society. There were many houses that he was occasionally asked to, as an odd bachelor to make up. Despite all his father had said at the time, a man with Sam Pearman's eye to the .main chance could not conceive n man in Harold Denison's position rejecting a propostal so very much to his own advantage. He might recognize a certain amount of dif ficulty on the part of the lady, but men of his tiro are not wont to be diffident about their own powers of attraction on these occasions, and Sam Pearman was one of the last to entertain apprehensions on that score, "He don't know what's good for him. and that'stabout the size of it!" was that gentleman's remark, as his sire retailed the account of his Interview with Deni son. "We shall have to exercise a little -gentle pressure. I'm not going to be choked off my game, at all events at this stage of the proceedings. Invalids often fequlre coercion to malte them take the tonics necessary for their existence, and it will be for you to make Denison under stand that he will cease to be Denison of Giinn, at all events, unless he is prepared to welcome me as a son-in-law, "Leave it to me, Sam, and don't be In a hurry.

I have turned It all well over In my mind, and though I have, as yet, come to no determination concerning It, yet I don't deem It altogether imprac ticable. Will you hear me patiently?" "Yes, Harold," was tho meek response. "Well, what I want to talk to you about Is this. Of course you must be nware that Maude is not only grown up and handsome, but has arrived at an age when wooers may be expected." "What do you mean?' 'asked tho moth. er, her pale face Hushing, and a half anxious, half-frightened expression visible In her blue eyes. "Wc will come to that presently.

He can give her a good home and everything she can want now, while nt the death of his father he will be the possessor of largo landed es tates In the county, besides considerable sums invested elsewhere," The poor mother's heart beat quick.

Some two or three weeks elapsed; ,uid then, one spring morning, Harold Deni son received a letter to the effect that Mr. Pearman of Mannersley felt it incumbent on himself to call in his money lent on mortgage, a more favorable opportunity for investment having offered.

How ephemeral that way had now become, uuder almost any circumstances, he still kept locked within bis own breast.

To her mother ah! yes, she could do much to lighten her troubles, and be a comfort to her: but for her father, nothing and the tears trickled through Maude's long lasties as she thought how little sho could be to hi in Such, so far, were the results of the machinations of that experienced "fisher of men," Mr. Pearman, on tho unfortu nate family at Gllnn.
