Thank ; but you. have not tol J me yet whether you enjoyed jour bll.H "V, (ht I (II J; I got lot of danc ing, and I da like that, you know. Hut how about yourself, Oren? I don't think you Quite did your duty." "Pretty fftlrlr. I fancy. We can't b expected to consummate tbe amount of pirouetting that your wi delight in. I danced a good deal, and it was real pleas ure to me to see the little sensation you nude. I like to we my pretty cousin appreciated aa ahe should be, and taking her tegttlmntefpoHlou In the county." "And what' that, pray?" "Why, as the belle of all Hampshire, of course. I wish, though, you hadn't danced with that fellow Prarman last night. I've a sort of presentiment III will come of It." "You stupid Grcnvllle; what can come of It? I am not likely to see him again for months i-crhap never. At the wont, recognition of his existence on meeting is all that quadrille entail." "Well, I suppose you are right, Maude; but It Is time I was off. Uood-by," And Grenvllle' pulse tingled a little, as his lips touched the fair check so quietly yielded to him. "Kind regards to my un cle and aunt, and drop me a line now and then." "Don't be afraid of that." laughed MUs Denlson; "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 faior. Good by: don't be long before you come and see us again." GrenviUe Itose pondered moodily over his visit, as he drove to the station. lie bid not quite mastered the fact that be waa la lore with bis cousin, but he had arrived at some dose apprehensions on the subject. He felt that he would have been a good deal better satisfied had bis parting salute been much less easily ac corded. Maude, fresh as a rose, after a turn round the garden, come In just In time to greet her mother on her return to the dining room, felting her mother Is oue of the chief pleasures of Maude IVnlwn's life. On this occasion she conducts her Into the easychair next toe fire, make tbe tea, and then, drawing a stoor near. ' seats herself at Mrs. Denlson' feet, and with girlbh delight recounts all her suc cesses of the previous night ; to Nvblch the fond mother listen with quiet happi ness, as her hand plays with hrr daugh ter' silken tresses. That nobody could eclipse, that nobody could erer be wor thy of mating with her peerless Mande, waa a thing that Mrs. Denlson would have deemed absurd to argue. "And, mother, dear" said tbe girl, at last, "Grenvillo wtld, before he went away this morning, I wo quite the belle of the tall. What do you think of your daugh ter sow? Won't that satisfy papa, al though be did grumble so about die ex pense of the dress?" "Yes, love. He will be quite content ed when he hear bow thoroughly you en joyed yourself. I am only so sorry tbat I was not strong enough to have been present myself at my darling's success." Harold Denlson entered the room In til usual listless fashion. He kissed hi daughter carelessly, asked If she had en joyed ber ball, scarce listened to her af firmation, and then plunged at once Into the letters and papers that lay piled alongside his plate. He was a tall, slight, bandrome man, with a keen, cold eye and rather undecided mouth, verging on fifty years of age. The slightly grluled eye brows knit aa be skimmed his correspond ence. Duns, lawyers letters anent mort gages and sundry other liabilities, form ed the staple of the dally missives tbat constituted the accompaniment to bis breakfast. Can It be wondered that the man' temper wss soured? that the whilom gay frolic squire of Olinn had become a cold, caustic and mIIuu man of the world? "Things seem to be getting worse and worse, Kleanor," he observed, throwing down an epistle on the best superfine blue post, and sipping hi tea moodily. "Tbe old cry from Ileyuolds and Gibson that tbat interest on the mortgage will be due next month, and begging prompt settlement this time, aa tbe fellow is get ting rather uneasy about the stability of the security, on account of tbe delay of last half-year. It will be bard to scrape the money together. Sheep, too, are. down to nothing almost so Thompson tells me or else I have a hundred to tell that I looked to to help me through slth this." Mrs. Denlson sighed. Bbe bad, gone through a good many such breakfast in her time, end felt is helpless as ever In suggesting expedient for tbe occasion. "It' very unfortunate," she said at length. "Mr. rearman is not pressing, at nil events, I hope." "No; he ha the grace to remember tluit two-thirds of the property have al ready fallen Into Ms hands. He Is al ways tnlertbly lenient about his money. Tbe fellow knows, moreover, that bl Is tbe first mortgage on the estate; and, I daresay, at time look forward to being tbe eventual owner of 01 Inn, rYliouldn't wonder If he was, too, some of these days," muttered Denlson bitterly. "I used to grieve once, Nell, that we hadn't a son; I begin to think now It was all For the best. I should feel It more if I bad to tfilsk that my boy would never be master here. Yet tbat Is pretty well how the case would stand If we had one." "l'rovtdrnce knows what Is best for us. Harold," returned his wife, softly; "It was ft sore source of trouble to u once; but, as you ssy, It spare us some bitter thoughts now," She associated herself with blm In his career of extravagance as It she had been equally to blame, though, aa far as her gentle nature dared, she had entered mora than one meek remonstrance at bis reckless career. Hut Mrs. Denlson was not the woman to throw her husband' faulta continually In his teeth. It was all done now, past recall: still, as far ks It lay within her power, the wife was willing to bear her share of the burden, Harold Drntsou's folly had entailed on his family. ..nd pray, Maude, Old Mr. IVarman honor Xmlnster with hl presence last night?" Inquired her father, sarcastically. "Young Mr. IVarman was there, but not the old man. He seemed to know a good many people there. Mr. llrlsden " "Yes It's the old wtory. The old county families are swept away by these spinners, brewers, solicitors, and such like. Another hundred years, and there won't be one of the old name left In the nelghlforbood," Itrvnkfast l over. Maude flit awky to hrr own little sanctum, with Its piano, books, and budding camellias; Mr. Den lson goes off. for a conference with the old houiekeeper; while the squire betakes him-elf to his study, to struggle with fig ures and hold gloomy converse with Thompson, his farm bailiff. Tbe mother and daughter do not frel much mental perturbation about the difficulties that threaten them. For the last five years have they not heard Mr. Denlon dis course In the same mclanenoly strain? Constant jeremiads lo their effect; they thought little of the growling of the storm. Itut Harold Denlson, as be sat putzllng bis .head In his room over that complication of figures, knew that things had pretty welt reached their climax, and that it would be bard to predicate even bow many months be should still remain Denlson of Gliun.

In the very modern but extremely com fortable dining room of Mannersley, the I'earinans, father and son, are sitting. The old man has turned seventy, and can hardly le said to look as If hl money-grubbing career hsd agreed with him. He Is shrunk nnd worn, with a stoop In his shoulders.

"Well, father, I urn sorry for you ; but I don't suppose it will be much harm In your case," "How did he go this morning?" "Well, I wasn't there; but Stephen tell me be did a good steady gallop. If be keeps right, he'll about win the Two Thousand.' " , , "Yes." chuckled tbe old man, "I've been racing now getting on fifty years, and I don't think I ever saw my way Into a much better thing than thl look like. We've got on, too, at a very pretty price, take it all around. It wilt bv a hottlsh Monday for some of them." "I hope so; but there one or two thing I want to talk to you about. There' young Sherrington; he' a crack brained young foot, and I've got him down In my book to the tune of a loser of twelve hundred If Coriander wins. Now, you have done business with him Is he good for that amount?" "Yes, Sam ye. We'll get that from him In time: but I doubt there'll be a bit of waiting for It, Don't take long odds from him again. What else?" "Well. Flathington stands to lose a thousand to us. He doesn't bear the character of a very good payt" "He! the biggest tblet In Kngland; but he'll pay me,' though be don't every body." "And why you, In particular?' Inquired bis son. "Itccnuse he made a mistake about bis name In early life. Ham; and he Is quite aware that I know it, and could rake up evidence enough against him, If lie Irri tated me, to make things, to say the least of It, vrrj unplrasaut, as far as he Is concerned." "Good! Then, with a little pressure, that'll be good money, If lt' won, eh?" "Just so," nodded the fathe. "Now, we'll come to something else. Just listen to this. I've pretty well come to the conclusion that I had better get married." "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 supiKwe?" and the old mail look ed keenly at hi son. "Tell j'ou more obout It when It come off; but certainly not, I think, In the de sign.
