CHAPTER XX.
8am Pearman had received the writ
or service of this beriot claim with ap
parent equanimity.' It must be borne in
mind that practiced speculator on the
turf, aa elsewhere, are accustomed to
take their reverses with much outward
nonchalance. But, nevertheless, when hi
visitor had departed he commenced pac
ing the room after the manner of a caged
tiger. It wa not likely Den i son, whom
be had deemed so entirely in his power,
would have ventured upon such a bold
stroke as this except under very high le
gal opinion, and whatever it might suit
him at the time to say in disparagement
of Rumford, he was quite aware that no
counsel's opinion in London stood in
higher repute. He foresaw, at one sweep,
the npset of all hia forthcoming schemes.
His father had told him how Harold Den
lson had first taken his pretensions to
Maude's band. He knew, none better,
how, under the pressure brought to bear
upon him, the squire of Glinn's self-interest
had been enlisted in his behalf. He
was far too keen a judge to think that
be had any bold upon Maude's affec
tions; hi idea was that she just liked
him sufficiently to marry him if her par
ent made a point of it. He was entirely
ignorant of there being a favored lover
In the field. He felt little doubt that
if Denleon could extricate himself from
hi power and should he establish bis
claim he would go near to do so hi
marriage would be postponed to the Greek
Kalends.
Now for tie other point. If he dispute
this "right of heriot," could they prevent
hi running Coriander for the Two Thou
sand? That became a question of great
importance. He had backed the horse
heavily yes, taking last Monday's work
into consideration, very heavily for the
race; and if be was not to run, there at
once was a loss of some thousands, to say
nothing of the big stake he had hoped to
win over that event.
"Ai !" he exclaimed, "that's it ! There
Is some inkling of this in the turf market,
and that's the reason the horse has been
so much laid against lately. This ac
counts for Plyart' determined attack,
and his betting me a hundred even that he
don't start. I'm off to town by the three
train."
Pearman drove straight to his solici
tor's, from Waterloo Station. Office
hours were over, but he contrived to catch
one of the firm as shrewd an attorney
a one would often meet with. He shook
his bead over the case more especially
when he heard of Rumford's adverse opin
ion. '"I don't like it, Mr. Pearman, at all,
but I will look over the Mannersley title
deeds the first thing to-morrow morning,
and then go over to Hawk, Sparrowbill
and Co. and ask them if they will let me
see Rumford's opinion. But these unen
franchised heriots are the very deuce to
deal with if the right, as in your case,
U of great value, and the opposite side
are aware of it"
"Well, you must make out all you can
for me. What time shall I be at your
office to-morow? the earlier the better,
mind. Time in this case is worth some
thing like half a sovereign a minute to
me."
"Certainly, sir. Say ten ; and you
mustn't mind if you have to wait for
me; I shall be conferring with the ene
my, but I'll be back at the office as near
tbat as I can."
"That'll just do. I must catch the
eleven train from Waterloo, if possible.
Good-night."
8am Pearman strolled into his club.
He was, as one may naturally suppose
in no great humor for conversation. It
is one of the drawbacks of these pleasant
caravansaries that the old adage of "Save
me from my friends" is unattainable
therein. You always run the chance of
some garrulous acquaintance discoursing
upon that amusing case in the divorce
court, utterly unconscious that you are
one of the parties implicated. You are
asked, perhaps, after your wife, by some
old friend of bygone years who is entire
ly Ignorant that you have either buried
or separated from ber. Our taciturn Brit
ish reserve has its advantages. Why
should there not be a small coffee room
instituted for sulky members, where at
tempts at conversation should be penal
ixed with expulsion? There are times
when we hate even ourselves much more
our fellow creatures.
Pearman was Imbued with a considera
ble amount of this latter- feeling aa be
strolled into the Theatine and ordered
his dinner. His Nemesis wa awaiting
blin. Ere he had finished hi soup, a blue
eyed, fair-haired, vacuou member bad
greeted him, and asked him what the
deuce was the matter with Coriander?
"Nothing. The horse is well enough.
Why?"
"Why, haven't you seen the evening pa
pers?" "No; I have only just got to town.
What about it?"
"They are laying all sorts of price
against him. He is quoted at fifteen to
one offered, and rumor ay, in some case
twenties have been laid."
"Hum," grunted Pearman. "lou'd bet
ter lay K, Curion, if you think be' gone.
I can only say, when you see he's about
to start for the Two Thousand, I recom
mend you to hedge every shilling, If you
do
"Thanks," drawled the other, and walk
ed away to disseminate what he had gath
ered from Coriander's owner.
Hi ollcitor the next morning gave
Pearman little satisfaction. Messrs.
Hawk, end Sparrowbill had been most
courteou; they had allowed bim to see
the deed, and also Sergeant RumfonT
opinion thereon. In hi humble opinion,
the case wa very strong; the writ or
selsure they bad Issued would hold per
fectly good; they might take Coriander
when the, liked. "And I am afraid
sir" be concluded, "that we should only
get cast If we tried to upset."
-Xbsn the can prevent my running the
ew
vttltl9tla.
Wif
SMART
horse next week, if I contest this claim
legally at once?"
"I should be afraid so, really; but in
negotiation you had better Insist opon
your right to, of course, do what you
like with the horse till their claim to
him is established."
"Very good Now I am off."
On arrival at X minster, Pearman pro
ceeded direct to Glinn. and inquired for
Mr. Penison. He wa shown Into the
library, and speedily joined by that gen
tleman. "I have come over, Mr. Denison, to
have some conversation with yon about
the somewhat preposterous claim of your
as to Tight of heriot over Mannersley."
i4 "l m advised," replied the quire,
that the claim is a perfectly valid one,
and of course. Just now valuable."
"My dear sir, I am not alluding to th
right or wrong of the case; but, situated
a we are to each other, it seems rather
absurd our going to law with each other."
"Better, Mr. Pearman, say, situated
a we were. Moreover, the nearer and
dearer the relationship, the more acri
monious the law uit ; for a bitter qufflrel
commend me to brothers, from Cain and
Abel downwards."
"Then I am to understand that my en
gagement with Miss Denison Is at an end?
May I ask upon what grounds it Is brok
en off?"
"If you wish to know upon' what term
you stand with Miss Denison, see her, and
don't trouble me."
"You said 'situated as we were.' "
"Of course I did. I owed you 10,000,
and hadn't got it. Now, it seems, you
also owe me 10,000, which, of course,
makes my not being able t pay yon of
very little consequence."
"But you consented to my engagement
with your daughter."
"And would now, if I thought you'd
ever want it." !
"I don't understand you."
"Then it' no use continuing this con
versation." ."Will you answer me a straightforward
question? May I ask you if my engage
ment with your daughter is still to bold
good? I care little about this other affair,
if that remains as it was."
"And don't I keep telling you that tbat
being an arrangement between Maude and
yourself if you have any doubts upon the
subject, you had better see her?"
"I will ask leave to do so presently. In
the mean time, Mr. Denison, to return to
this claim of heriot "
"Excuse me, Mr. Pearman ; that I can't
touch upon. I have put myself complete
ly in my nephew's hands regarding that
subject; but I will send him to you at
once, and merely remark that any ar
rangement you may make with him has
my cordial assent."
CHAPTER XXI.
Grenville Rose, meanwhile, had early
cognizance of Pearman' arrival, and pre
pared at once for the encounter. He first
ordered a horse to be saddled, and a groom
to be in readiness to take a message to
X minster. Next be summoned his cousin
to come to bim in bis uncle's sanctum.
"Maude, dearest," be said, as she en
tered "the crisis of our fate is at hand."
"What is it GrenT' And the grej
eyes opened wide as she saw the grave,
earnest look upon her lover's face.
"Pearman is here, and your father
is gone to see bim. But in a few min
utes I shall be sent for. I'm playing for
a great stake this morning, Maude; to
wit, the freeing your father from his diffi
culties, and to win your own sweet self
for mine own love. Listen. James ha
got a horse all ready to go for me to
Xminster. You see these telegram sheets :
I shall come here for one minute, and fill
one up with a message. Mind James
has it, and is off with it at once. You
see be does not linger. It is of the ut
most consequence to us."
"I understand, Gren. Anything more?"
"Yes; you may as well write Pearman
a polite dismissal, unless you would rath
er see bim."
"Oh, no! I'd rather write."
"Well, then do so at once ; and I think
there will be no necessity for your seeing
him. But if you must" and ha looked
a little anxiously towards her.
"I shall know what to say don't be
afraid of that though I would much
rather not."
Here Harold Denison entered the room,
jubilant and triumphant.
"The overture is played out, Grenville,
and the real business of the piece is
about to begin. I've told bim you are my
representative in this matter, and that I
am entirely in your bands."
"Thanks, uncle."
And Rose went off to encounter Pear
man. He found tbat gentleman restlessly
pacing die library. A curt greeting pass
ed between them.
"Now, Mr. Rose,' we had better proceed
to business at once. Time I valuable to
me upon this occasion."
"The sooner the better," rejoined Gren
ville. "Sines I last saw you I bare been to
town in connection witb tbi affair, and
am prepared to admit that you hart a
better case than I at first thought you
possessed. Under these circumstances,
and standing a I do with regard to Mia
Denison "
"Hadn't we be.tter confine ourselves
solely to the business in hand, and not
advert to contingencies that may never
happen?" interrupted Grenville, quietly.
"That' it, then V said Pearman coarse
ly. "Mis Denison Intends cancelllsg her
engagement, as part of the program? I
thought as much."
"Excuse me if I uggest the propriety
of keeping Mis Denison' name entirely
out of our conversation. That 1 a mat
ter upon which I have nothing to say.
The question lies in a nutshell. Do you
intend to ransom your horse, or Is that
writ of service, of which you received no
tice yesterday, to be carried into effect?"
"I shall dispute the whole thing, and
place the affair In the bands at lay an
li chore."
"Very good. Under then cirruMstances
it ia only right to tell you that I hare
already applied for an injunction to pre
vent your running Coriander for any race
till the case la decided."
"Ridiculoe! I' poo what ground,
Prayr
"I poo the ground of possible injury,
and probable deterioration of value."
"What do you mean?"
"What I ay. He might be Injured,
or be might be beat; In either case, be
wioeld not be so valuable a bone aa V
1 now."
Pearman aaid nothing for a minute or
two; at last be exclaimed abruptly, "Do
you ever bet, Mr. Roue?"
"Certainly not !" wa the Jesuitical re
ply; for, though Grenville Rose never
did meddle with turf matters, though he
had not made a single bet on the forth
coming "Two Thousand," he was yet
aware that Dallison was betting for him ;
albeit he neither knew nor cared to know,
so far, the particulars of the transaction.
"Yon can hardly suppose I hall pay
such a sum aa 10,000. Perhaps you will
state what compromise you really intend
to offer me?"
"I have none other to propose, than
that you lgn Mr. IVniaon a release of
the mortgage you bold to that amount
upon Glinn."
"Ah, well ! I am afraid yon price the
horse a little too high."
"Not at all! We value the hone at
5.000, and the stakes of the Two Thou
sand' at 5,000 more."
"And who tells you be is going to win
that race?"
"Well, yon see," rejoined Grenville,
smiling, "we are guided there entirely by
your own opinion. We are credibly in
formed that you have thought it worth
while to invest a large sum of money
cn hi chance, and we have a high opin
ion of your Judgment in such matters."

!'Do you mean to say tbat your cus
tomers are more likely to be wrong
than right In their guesses?" was the
surprised question of Mr. Lamb.
"Sure," was the reply, with an In
dulgent smile of superior wisdom on
the frank, open face of the broker.
"A speculator on margin is not only
likely to lose, he Is sure to lose. Of
course he sometimes wins, gets on the
right side of the market, and In a day
or two walks off with $20,000 in his

Not much! That was too easy; and
the next time he loses his $20,000 of
winnings and as much more besides as
he'll stand for or can raise. Why, this
