ir TT i n. Race HAWLEY CHAlTKtt IV. The nut day I'earroan became exec Ively enamored of hit hopeful "on' pro ject, though be illil not at an uisgune to htmself the difficulties that stood tn the war of It accomplishment. If he had not had the advantage of uch an education as 8am had hat). yet he had nude a large fortune by trailing on the w eaknrtsc of hi fellow-men. Those who achieve this, though It may be little to their credit, become more thoroughly acquainted with the spring of the huuun mind than all the metaphysicians and phi losopher, who have ever written or dream ed aboat It. The son might be an astute tnkn enough at hi location of the turf, but he was a child, compared to hi fath er, when computing to what cxtrnt he could persuade, bind, or break men to bis own will. The son thought the advan tagra of such an alliance must be so transparent In a worldly point of Tlew to Harold IVnUou that he would be a willing coadjutor In the scheme, from the moment it was proposed to him ; the fath er at once forouvw the old family pride that would be up In arm against blra the Instant he mooted the Idea. Itut he said to himself, "1 hare bad much to do with Harold DenUon, and should know him thoroughly. He it seltUh at heart to the core. lu all those trou blous day of bis, when I was settling his affairs, I never knew him dwell upon wtiat the results might be to his wife and daughter. It was ever what be had to give up. He'll scout this proposal with Indignation when I first mention It to him; but he'll come round to it In time. Aa for the girl's that' Sara's affair: but when Denlson has once made up bis mind to her marrying him, he's as likely a man as I know to turn on the domestic screw heavily. 1 ve seen that oracle worked more than once, and it's generally pretty efficacious. They run way with somebody else afterwards, oc casionally, but that's tht fault of the fausboudV not kerpinjc them within bounds. Yes ; I'll r.de over and see Den lson to-morrow. It won't be a very pleas ant Job, 1 doubt , but I am used to that." The owner of 01 Inn felt that slight nervous perturbation that invariably at tends the call of a large creditor. The noise of the carriage wheels had merely produced a feeling of languid curiosity; but the announcement thkt Mr. I'earman wanted to see him nude the squire's pulse quicken, and It was with an anx iety be was unable to disguise that he welcomed him in bis own peculiar alow tones. "Sit down, I'earman. Take that arm chair, and make yourself comfortable. I hope to heaven jou haven't come to make me the reverse" "Not at all. Mr. DenUon. My visit U not a business one, though I have some thing I should like just to talk to you a little about presently. Shocking weath er we're baring. Had for the farmers very. Isn't it?" "You may say that. Nothing we have to Bell seems to be worth anything. AH farm produce Is a drug In the market. How's Coriander going on? It looks like jour gathering a terrible harvest In April at Newmarket, anyhow. The horse Is doing well, I suppose?" "I'm, I believe so. You know, Mr. DenUon, I'm getting too old myself to ee after such tilings. I leave all that to Bam; but be tells me the bone will run well for the 'Guinea,' Ur accidents." "Hun well!' 'liar accidents '.' Why, 'bar accident,' be must win," cried the ever sanguine Denlson. "I never bet now, as you know; but in the old days I should have bad a thousand on him." "Ah, well," said the old lawyer, "there's vyherw It Is. You always would bellere In certalntlm In racing. I never myself cot further than believing s horse would run well." "Yew," laughed the squire: "and In consequence jsu made a fortune while I lost one. I'm afraid, too, It would be the same thing all over again If I could begin once more." I'earman shot a keen look at him from under his grlzxled broks, and thought most assuredly that It would be so, and how very much It would facilitate bis present design If the squire was a little involved In that way at present. He of course knew the main part of Harold Denlson' entanglements', but even he. though bis priuciiat man of business, did not know how bad things really were. It would have given him more confidence to unfold the object of Ills embassy bnd be been poiMettked of such knowledge. "WeU, I'earman," continued the squire, "I am afraid I have no money left to put upon Coriander. Those old days are gone. Yes," said DenUon, bitterly ; "half pence are of more account to me now than sovereigns were then. D"t what I it you want to talk to me abv..t? Noth ing to my advantage, I'll be bound." "I'm afruld not; not but that It might be. Hut I've never been able, Mr, Denl fton, to Induce you to listen to anything to your own advantage." "'Gad, sir, I can call to mind rery lew of jour propositions that tended that way, A few hundreds to be saved here and there, at the cost of total abandon ment of my social position cases In which the saving was Incommensurate with the sacrifice." "You judge me hardly, Mr, Denlson. Ofl the occasions to which you allude, for Wife! BY- SMART .. pardon me If I say that It was on over strained delicacy on your part which pre vented matters being brought to a more satisfactory conclusion. It I the way with you all." muttered the old lawyer, musingly. "You forget these scruples when they might be of use to you, and hamper us, who have to put your affair straight, with them afterwards." "A DenUon of dlinn, sir, Is not to be Included in the same category ns a bank rupt trader, I presume," remarked the squire, haughtily. "No; but It would be better both for him and his creditors It t could be so. You repudiate the Idea of all compro mise, and say, 'In time, everybody shall be paid In full.' The result Is you never get clear, and the creditors are never satisfied.- "Itut they will be In time," returned Harold Denlson; and the uncertain tone In which he uttered the words were n stringent commentary on his previous speech. "It's just about that," said Tearman, "that I'm wishing to talk to you now. It' a cruel pity that a tine oM property like Gllnn should be brokrn up. A good deal of It. you see, bas fallen Into my hand." "You need, not remind me of that," Interrupted Harold Denlson; "I am quite aware of the price I am paying, for the follies of my younger day. "It la not likely I should recall such disagreeable facts to your memory, If I bad not something to propose with re gard to tbelr being to a considerable ex tent wld out. You will do me the Jus tice, I think, Mr, DenUon, to admit that since I have bad the honor of being your pecuniary adviser, I have never held bit ter to your Dps, when I deemed any thing more palatable would meet the ex igencies of the case?" The squire nodded assent. lie certain ly had a confused Idea that 1'rarman had made a pretty good thing out of the adjustment of bis affairs. "Now," continued the attorney, "I see a way lu which you may be relieved from all Immediate embarrassment connected with money matters, and by which Miss Denlson may be the eventual mistress of Gllnn In its original integrity." Denlson started. Tu be released from the harassing strain that lie on him now with regard to pound, shilling and pence that the old property should once more cumulate In his luughter opened a gor geous prospect to bis eye. It was a piece of good fortune that he had never dreamed of. Itut be kuew his man by thU time well. What wa the price he was to pay for this? He said nothing, but Inwardly his brain wa busy In vain conjectuVe as to what I'earman would demand a bl guerdon for producing such a transformation scene. The Idea of that worthy solicitor ever doing anything with out an ulterior motive was one he nerer entertained for au Instant. What would be want? What did be mean? CHAITBU V. A silence of some Ave minute ensued between the two men; the old lawyer was anxious that the tempting bait he held out should b thoroughly gorged be fore he was called upon to state upon what terms all this might be brought about. His best experience of men told bim that there waa no such mistake in life as hurrying an axiom mowt of us learn, though generally too late but to derive minor advantage therefrom. "This sounds too good to be true, I'ear man," at length remarked the squire. "If It can be done, you must have some In fernal rider to the proposition, that It is hardly ;olhta I should assent to." "It Is not likely that this can be brought about without some valuable assistance from yourself," rejoined the solicitor. "Hut will jou bear steadfastly In your mind the great advantage that will ac crue Immediately to jourself, and ulti mately to MU Denlson? Will you, more over, be good enough to bear me patiently to the end)" The squire nodded an impatient as sent. "You must, of course, be quite aware that now Miss Denlson ha arrived at a marriageable age, her great personal at tractions have claimed tb attention of a good many young nv-n in the county." The attorney paused, but bjs auditor looked grimly at the fire, and expressed hU feelings by neither word nor gesture. "Well, a young gentleman of consider able property, and still better expecta tions, who has had the privilege of meet ing MU Denlsou, Is so struck with her charms and accomplishment that he ha commissioned me to ask our permission to try whether he cannot succeed in in ducing her to accept him a a husband. On the point of family he I quite aware that he ha no pretensions to Mis Denl son' band; but as regard Income, I think there would be nothing to bo de sired." "Who do you mean?" broke In the squire. "Has Maude given hlra any en couragement, that you come with this story to me?" "My dear lr, hi acquaintance with MUs Denlson i far too slight for any thing of that kind ever to have been even thought of on bl part. He 1 merely anxlou to have your permission to try bU luck. Without that, belles a me, he would nerer dare to aspire to your daughter's band." Alt this show of deference Induced As squire tu listen to th proposition, at Kit event, quietly. Who on earth I'earman could have In hi rye he had ifb Idea, That lie could mean hi son all this time never entered Harold Dtnlson' head. Ho certainly knew he had a son, but, mix ing so little as he did In the county now, he had barely seen him, nor had he, but at odd tluuif, oven heard of him. "Hut who Is It, man? I.rt' know th name of thla bashful suitor? It' a quality on see little enough of In the day." "My son, Mr. Denlson, I the gentle man who solicits your permission to do his best to win your daughter. "Your son I Why" -and here the squire stopped, perfectly thunderstruck. It was a levelling age, he kuew; that the tldw of democracy was at the flood, he wa aware; that our cherished Institutions were looked on with disdain, that there were people who saw no virtue In coro nets, and thought an llstabllshcd Church a worn-out Institution that It would be aa well to do away with, he had heard; but that the son of a confounded money lending attorney should presume to dream of mattug with a Denlson of Ollnn lis had never contemplated. For a few niln nte he wa literally speechless; then all the pride of race surged up. He cam of a Hue of rrtuim It bad been often said that their tongue were as sharp and ready as their sword. "Excuse me," he remarked; "I waa not aware that the time were so far advauc cd that our daughter were regarded ai salable commodities out of tbelr own class of life, I waa not aware that the social gap between mjself and my solici tor waa so effectually bridged over. Your son, sir, will have to lake his chance with the young man from the butcher', and Mr. .uffatee, who keepa the dra;er'a establishment In Xmlnster. I shall not presume to Influence Miss Denlson In her choice," Did rrarman had many time In the courso of his career momlltrd upon the weakness of losing one' temper aUuit anything, but the squire' sneer brought the blood to hi pale temple. "Von take a high hand, sir a high hand. I asked you to listen to iho pa tiently, ami you Insult me. I spoke to you humbly enough to start with; but I tell jou now that wealth choose Its mat from blood In these days, and that many a well-born a MIm Denlson have married not a bit better lineage than mine." "1'erhap so. I'eople forget themselves In all cUsse. and forfeit their social status; but It's getting time for money grubber to learn one thing, and that Is that possession of all the gold In Cali fornia doe not constitute a gentleman. or entitle a man to claim alliance with gentle blood 1" The old solicitor's lip quivered, and his lean linger played nervously with his watch chain, as he replied : "I did not come here to argue our mutual social position. I camo here to afford an embarrassed man, for whom I have a sincere regard, in spite of all the hard name be bent" upon tnr, an oppor tunity of freeing himself from those en tanglement. I advanced a projoItlon which rave him a chance of in some way repairing the it II that the early follies of hi youth had entailed on his child, destined to pay her full share of such In discretions, The days of such prejudice aro past, I tell you, Mr. Denlson; and once more I ask you not to give me an answer now, but to reflect upon the pro posal I have made to you." "You do us too much honor. Mr. I'ear man. I'ermlt me to observe that I must decline all further consideration of the subject. I am perfectly convinced the al liance you propone with such a delicious oblivion of all status of society would be extremely unsuitable. Allow me to nuke MUs DcnUon's acknowledgments for the distinction jou would have conferred upon her. and to ring for your carriage." "Very good, sir very good," cried the old attorney, as be rose In his wrath; "the time will come, maybe, when you'll think that old Sam 1'earmnn would have been a good man to have had at your baa. I say .nothlnr, Mr. Denlson; but jou'll find that you hate not made many great er mistakes in jour career than this morn lug's work." And, muttering to himself, the Irate old gentleman left the room, "I wonder what the world I coining to!" muttered Harold Denlson. "The Men of a child of nilne marrying the son of a money-lending solicitor 1" Then hU thought reverted to that ten thousand pound mortgage, and the angry words of the old man at iwrtlng, and h reflected, mcodily, that there wa llttl likelihood of much time Mug granted anent the jwjyinent of the Interest lu fu ture; Indeed, It was more than probable that I'earman, In lit auger, would cull lu hi monej. All which consideration har assed Harold DenUon' mind not n little, and he thought, If It had to be dolus again, he would reject the old lawyer's proposal wrtb rather more courtesy.
