"Probably your philanthropy and In
creasing practice, then, led you to run
down with a view to rescuing your uncle
from bis difficulties?" aald Denison, bit
terly. "Yea, and no." said Hose, starting to
Ma feet. "I have come for two reasons :
Firstly, ,to win Maude for my wife, if I
can ; secondly, to release you from all ob

Harold Peulson paused. He had never
seen bis nephew breik through his con
ventional, cool, easy manner In this wise
before. He felt that he had been terribly
In earnest all through their Interview.

from bis face as he eitended bis hand.
"I've had a deal to. try me lately,
Oren, difficulties have thickened and
complicated above tay bead. You mustn't
think anything of what I say. Show me,
boy, how to raise ten thousand to-morrow
morning, and we'll talk over other things

"Good-nlgbt, uncle," said Grenvllle. as

Leave me to work npw, and If I'm not In
a position, to forbid the banna by break
fast to-morrow, may I never have another

Long and nmlously did Grenvllle wade
through those villainous musty old parch
ments that night. It was a big bor, and
contained some two or three hundred such
old leases, agreements, mortgage deeds
since cancelled, deeds of trust, and mar
riage settlements of bygone DenUon now
sleeping their long sleep In the quiet old
churchyard, The clock bad struck three
ere, with a chill feeling of defeat, be took
out the last musty paper. Could this be
It? No! It was but some old parchment
connected with ft right of water power In
the last century. Badly Grenvllle tumbled
the mass of papers back into the box, and
gloomily sought bis pillow. Had be dreamt
of the deed be bad looked for? "No,"
bo muttered, as be undressed! "I mw It
once in that room. What can have become
of it? Maude, my dearest, have I told

drink the bitter cup ot disappointment?"
lied was not of much use to Grenvllle
Hose that night. He tried It: but. de
spltn his Journey and late search through
those bewildering paper, sleep refused to
visit his eyelids. A little more than
three hour, and he was splashing In his
bath, and, with knit brows, still meditat
ing on what could luve become ot that
all-essential parchraeut. "It looks had,
but I won't give In. I must search fur
ther. I'll have my head In every box,
ecrltolrr, cabinet, or cupboard In all
Gllnn before to-morrow night." In the
meantime he recollected that Maude was
an early riser, no, finished bis toilet and
betook himself quietly to the garden.
It was not long before he caught sight
of the flutter of a light dress; a few sec
onds and he was by Maude's side. Her
face flushed as she met hint, ami her
greeting was evidently forced and con
strained. "I thought, Maude, dearest," he said,
"that I might haic the luck to meet you
before breakfast. It Is the only chance
I have of seeing yon alone. Can you tell
me stilt that jou don't repent what ou
wrote In answer to my letter of some
fortnight or so bark?"
"Oh, Gren, what am I to say to you?
What must you think of me? 1 never
thought yon cared about me In that way,
you know. And then to write to you aa I
did ! Hut. Gren, dear, I did mean It. I
fought hard to be true to you. What can
I do? They say it rests with roe to keep
Gllnn as a home to my father, and that,
if I don't marry Mr. 1'earntan. we shall
be wanderers about the world. That
would kill them. I am very miserable.
You don't know what I had to go through.
I didn't give In till I could bear It no
longer, lie kind to me, Gren, please."
And the grey eyes, swimming with tears,
looked up Into Hose's face with a piteous
pleading expression that half maddened
him.
"Don't know what you had to go
through, my pet? Hum! I think I can
make a pretty fair guess." And even as
he ted his arm round bis cousin's waist
and kissed her, Grenvllle Umt'a teeth
were set lu.nl. "It makes me mad.
Maude, to think that that beast rearman
should ever dare to dream ot you. No,
child, I know pretty well the bullying you
hare had to go through. You wouldn't
hare proved false to jour word, except
under unfair pressure.
"Then you don't think so very badly
of me?" asked the girl, shyly.
"I don't know," smiled her cousin, as
he bent his head down to her. "I'll hear
what you've got to say. Do you love
me?" ,
"Oh. Oren !" And Maude dropped her
flushed, tear-stained fare on his shoulder,
and submitted to the abstraction of un
limited kluws with the greatest meekness.
The tears were kissed away, and a
smile was on her lips " she said, "You
whlsered last night. There Is bope for
us yet:' what did you mean?"
"I didn't say that; when you quote
what I say, be good enough to be correct."
"Hut you did say so." said Maude, open
ing the grey eyes wide as usual when a
thing pawed her corapreesnslon.
"No, Miss Denison; I said, 'Hope for
us yet, darling.' "
"Oh, Gren. don't tease roe; that's so
like your old aggravating ways. Tell
me."
"Well, dearest. I hoped last night to
find a paper that would have, at all
events, broken off your engagement with
I'earman, and left you free to choose
again."
A quiet pressure ot his arm, and a
soft "Well?"
"I didn't find It, Maude, and went to
bed as miserable as a man ran welt do.
Ypur father promised that I'earman
should receive bis dismissal if I could do
what I dreamt I could. I made sure of
finding that paper in the big oak chest
In the study; but though I went steadily
through them all, It wasn't there."
"When did you see It, Gren?"
"Don't you remember when I went mad
upon heraldry, and was ell for putting
your genealogical tree to rights? I went
through those papers then."
"Stop a moment," aald the girl; "let
me think. Yes," she continued, after a
short pause; "and you used to bring
them up to work at to the school room
don't you recollect? And I'm almost
sure, but didn't you throw a few of them
Into a drawer up there, saying they were
no use, but you might nuke up a maga
zine story or two out of them some day?"
"Hy Jove, Maude, you've hit it! I
did, and that would be safe to be one ot
them. Come along, sweetheart mine, and
see. No chance of their being disturbed,
Is there?"
"I should think not; but I haven't, I
really believe, been In the room for the
last two years. We'll soon see, though;"
and the cousins tripped rapidly back to
the house.
Poor old school room ! It was not often
now that it shutters were thrown open to
the golden light of spring. Very different
were tbo old times, when Maude flitted
about it dally, making sunshine within,
whatever It might be without; when the
whistle of the blackbird and the song of
tbo throstle, the twitter of the swallow,
and the scent of the jasmine, with other
creeDers. came drifting through the open
casement. Her she had made much of
b doll, fought with bar nurse, and risen
In more matured rclielllon against rW
governess. Here Groin Ills bad teased,
petted, laughed nt her, mul embarked In
various studies genealogical or otherwise.
No wonder they (mused on the threshold I
It was classic gnmr.d to them, nt all
events,
Grenville Hose, however, though ho may
pause for n moment, Is far too much In
earnest and Immersed In the present '"
give much thought to old memories. Maude
smiles softly as he throws open the win
dows, and she reealls those long pleasant
afternoons they two have passed there.
She has been so miserable of late she Is
so quietly happy now. It Is true this pa
per must be found; but she believes In
Gren, at only a joung girl can In n lover.
It Is the flrst time he has been with her
In that character. It Is so sweet to In
told you are locd at eighteen, when that
confession Is made by the right person.
No wonder the girl's face looked bright.
"Now. Maude, quick which Is the draw
er? This, eh!" Hurriedly the drawer I
dragged out ; but alas ! though all sorts ot
odds and ends, n 'book or two on heraldry,
or a French dictionary, are discovered,
no sign of law papers meets the eye.
"Mistaken the drawer, pet, 1 suppose?"
exclaimed Grenvllle, with a look of ills
appointment he struggled hard to con
real; and then coutlnued his search. Hut,
no; every drawer and cupboard of the
school room is ransacked In vain. Many
a relic of their merry old days there comes
to light, but nothing In the shape of a
deed or parchment. Maude stood aloof
towards the conclusion of the search, halt
leaning, halt sitting on the table. Her
fsce wns serious enough now, and the
well-marked ejebrows rather knit. She
felt that the promised smooth water of
the morning was as yet tiy no means resu
lted. Since Grenvllle had kled her, and
personally told his love, she felt endued
with Infinite (lowers of opposition to the
I'earman alliance.
"It's no use, Maude: the aper I want
Is not here." said Greavllle at length.
"I must searrh elsewhere."
"So you shall. Gren. Hlng the bell.
I have an Idea."
Her cousin did as he was bid. and
when a stray housemaid, lit considerable
bewilderment, eventually wade her way
to the disused room. Ml" Denisun said.
sharply. "Tell Mrs. I'pcroft she's wanted
here directly directly, mind and don't
let her be as long about getting here as
you have leen."
"Now, look here, Gren," continued
Maude, "thoe papers were there. No
body but Mrs. I'pcroft would have dared
move them. Hut, you see, she has known
me as a child, and I am always bard put
to It to bold my own with her. If she
don't happen quite to recollect what she's
done with them, she'll give me any an
swer, and won't even try to take the trou
ble to rrmember. If I can nuke nothing
of her, then you must chime In and fright
en her. Of course she don't want to con
ceal them; but she will know she ought
not to have meddled with them, and don't
like what she terms lielng put out,"
There was a tap at the door as Mauds
finished her speech, and her cousin hsd
but Just time to give a nod ot intelli
gence as the housekeeper entered.
"Sorry to disturb you. Mrs. Upcroft,
said Miss Denlson, blandly, "but I want
to know what you have done with th
papers that used to Inhabit that drawer?"
"I'm sure I don't know nothing about
no paters. You might have been sure of
that, I think, .Miss Mamie, before you
sent for me, and the butcher just here
for orders an all;" and the housekeeper
looked as sulky as she rightly dared. She
bad for years done as she pleased with
Mrs. DenlMin, and was bitterly Jealous of
any Interference of Miss Maude.
"Hxcuse roe, Mrs. L'pcroft, If you don't
know anything about the removal of sueh
papers, you should do so. Thing ought
not to tie moved from one room to an
other without the knowledge and license
of loursclf. Will you bo kind enough to
recollect what became of those po(ers?
They happen Just now to be of great Im
(lortance." "Thai's so like you. Miss Maude. Yon
were Just the same ns a child. Whatever
you wanted must be done right off at
once. I forget about those old paper
now, and must run away to the butcher:
but I'll perhaps think what became of
them In n little. I'm afraid, though, they
went to light fires with;" and with a ma
licious smile the housekeeper turned to go,
