Race ?A -. r F5 HAWLEY a -r-Ji l t :'& CIIAPTKIt xvn. il Maude Denlson' eye flashed, nnd her lips quivered. She laced her hand close- i If together; but nit she mIJ was the inonoxylbble "Gren." Small mercy was .Mm, I'pcrott likely to meet with at hb hands; her Insolence had atrcady made Hose's teeth grate. "Unfortunate, .Mn. Uperoft." he ob- served, with nn evil smile; "Imt I am afraid the butcher will bare to wait for I some time before he next enjoys the pleas ' lira of your society. You see, you have i unluckily admitted, before myself and MIm Denbon two witnesses, bear In mind that you were privy to tfci rwnor al or abstraction of a deed of value, ' even If jou did not actually reroore sjcIi deed with your own lnnd. The law, of I which you are aware 1 am an expounder, rail a casualty of this kind by the nknje 'I of felony, and recompense It with varied I terma of tranportallnn. It b uupleas- i srtt, Mrs. Uperoft; but 1 fe.r. unle you 1 can recollect where thote particular pa pers are, there Is nothing for It but to wait here patiently until the police escort 1 am nlwut to summon hai arrived for you " The sulky lno!ence was taken well out ef the tinhapp? housekeeper before Itose' speech was Imblicd. I.Ike mt people of that ela. she had but very vague Ideas of the power of the raw, and an almost 1 1 morbid horror of encountennc It In any shape. The harriterV accusation, too, sounded very plausible to unpractical ears. "Oh ! Mr. Grenvllle. after knowing mc all this time, wboerer'd have thought you'd go against me In this way? Oh, dear! oh, dear! what shall I do." "Do what you ought to have done, at once. Tell Miss Maude this Instant where tltoe paper are. None of your nonseo about not remembering. You know perfectly well what you've done with them. I'll glre you two minutes to collect your Ideas, and It you can't do it by the end of that time. I'll lock you In here and send for the police." "Oli. please don't ! I don't know, right ly. I think, Mb, they were all put up In an old trunk lu the garret overhead," robbed the now thoroughly cowed house keeper. "Go.and tee, Maude," said Hose, quiet- I. Miss Denlson tripped out of the room. leaving Grenillle to the quiet contempla (ion of bis lictim. "Oh, my I oh, my !" sobbed the house keeper, "to think of those old rubbishing things bring of any consequence! And what right have you. sir, to say I took them? To think of my being accused of taking things, after all these years I Hut I aup'Kc a ioor servant's character is not to be taken away for nothing? I'll have the law of you. I will." r "You're right, Mrs. I'pcroft; you will, and very much to your detriment, too, if the j wiper I want is not forthcomnlg. You're not talking to a woman now. You'll neither frighten me, nor get the slightest mercy at my hands. You're in as fair a way of spending the next Ix or seven years at Portland as any body 1 know; and, by heavens, I'll take pretty good care you get there! They have stood your insolent long enough here. If you want to take a few thing with you. I'll ring, and one of the maids ran put up your box. I'll run through your accounts after you are gone, and fan cy I Cfcn substantiate a tolerable charge of peculation to boot." The housekeeper bad rallied a lltttle, but this hist speech of Hose's completejy crushed her. She, knew that she had carried on a systematic scale of robbery for years. bhe flopped down on ber knees, and Implored that mercy might be bowu ber. backing her eutreatle with many fcolxi and tet-rs. "Here they all are, Gren." said Maude, entering the room. "I tumbled them Into this towel; I couldn't carry them iu my hands. Good gracious, Mrs. Uperoft, do jet up. Wlut Is the matter?" "Stay where you are, and apologize to Miss Denlson for your luij.ertlnence. be fore you rise," thundered Orenville. "Quick, woman, and I'll be lenient about the wscuiid chtrge I have against you." "Oh. please forgive me. Miss Maude! I didn't mean it Indeed I didn't!" whim pered the crestfallen housekeeper. "There, that'll do," said Hose, con temptuouxl), while Maude stood in open eyed wonderment at the complete subju gation of ber ancient foe. "Eureka !" he shouted, as. after running his eye over some balf a dozen mouldy pa'iers, a more musty parchment limn usual came Leneoth his ken. "This will do. You can go, Mrs. Upcroft, without a police escort for the present ; but you bad better bear In mind, In future, that if you are Insolent to Miss Denlson you will settle with me, and that next time I promise you it shall be a settlement Iu full." With a low curtsy the discomforted housekeeper left the room nnger raging! In ber breast, out nnxeu wiiu a strong proportion of fear. Her malevolenco would know no bounds If she should ever see her opportunity; but for the pres ent Gremille Hose hfcd established a wholesome terrorism. "Let her go, my darling," said Gren vllle, as be stole bis arm round Maude's waist. "Till Is the deed I wanted. I must leave for town directly after break fast. Armed with tills. I think I can for Wife D.Y- SMART fely say l'enrman shall trouble you no more. What guerdon Is your champion to fiave when he has rescued you from the dragon?" "Nothing, I'm afraid." "You Ingratel What do you mean?" "What I said. I fear. Gren." reidled the girt, as she lifted her smiling face to his that I have glu-n my champion all I have to give already, and It that don't satisfy him. I can only " Miss lenlson's further views on the subject were never promulgated, for rea son that are palpably obvious; nor will an ordinary ob-crwr be much astonished to hear that the cousins put In a dis gracefully tate appearance at the break fast table a fact that may lie quoted In support of my great theory, that early rising is dependent on fictitious excite meut. aud uot lu accordance with natural law. llrekkfast over, Grrnvllle bad a hur ried interview with the squire, the result of which was great Jubilation on Harold Denlson's part, anil n remark that he had nlnnjs had an immense opinion of Gren vllle talents, and that be thought pres ent circumstances already justified his opinion. "Good-by. uncle," said Hoe. as be stood on the step of the carriage that was to convey him to the station. "I think I'm right, but you mustn't blam me it I've made a mistake. I'll telegraph as soon as I have lud counsel's opinion on ray friend here;" and he t&ptn'd bis trn'rilng ling. In which reposed the anx iously sought for deed. "Heaven bless you, boy! I feel you're right jou must be. Good-by. Drbe on." "Stop stop! he can't go like that:" and Maude, like a flash of sunlight, dash ed through the porch. The idea of any Ivdy baring Gllun without a flower in his buttonhole! "Gren, dear, one too- .ment, while I put this In your co.it. Keep It," she whispered, "to remind you of me." "Not much necessity for tlifct," be re plied, as he beut over ber. "Hut you shall see It, darling, next time I come. Good by!" "Not for long; mind and write; tbey wont care now, will they?

Kx pugllists, low publicans, noblemen's but ler that were traders on men's weak nesses or lust greasy, brfcss-chalned, shovel-hatted, braxrn-throated, brazen browed with wolli-.li greed of gain stamp ed more or less on their feature the hnngry, gold-seeking mob oscillate rotiud that low doorway. The turfite' temple never shuts; the fell war between hackers and layers never ceases. Eager murmurs are h.rd midst that vulture-faced crowd. "He went very bad In the market this morning." "Tell me tbey offered threes, at the club." "Wbat'a wrong with bitnr' "What against The Saint?" ami simitar hurried Interrogatories fall on the ear. Now a brougham, now a well-appointed cfcb. whose driver throws the reins from bis lavender-kidded hand to the next tiger: now the hansoms of ordinary life drop their respective occupants at the small doorway. The Subscription Itoom Is full; round the big circular desks much paying and receiving Is going on. The sofas round the room are crowded with louugera; the tessellated pavement Is trod by a fluctuat ing mass, who ebb anil flow to different points a some one or two large specula tors vociferate the odd, or cease to do so. It Is the settling day after the broken week at Newmarket, and sinister rumor are rife a Unit the first favorite for the Two Thousand. He has stood at tire to two for a long while, but reort say that three to one has Uvn laid and of fered, to any amount of money, at the rac ing club this morning. Half-past four fatul hour for many a favorite at Tattersr.il', the, adjustment of last week' accounts 1 o er, and the ring lias time to turn It attention to forthcoming event. "Three to one against Coriander for the Guineas," Is vociferated In more than one quarter. Nothing positive seems known about the horse; but a panic hi. set In, and backers stand aloof from a wager that rstcrdny tbey would bavo Jumped at. Some few adventurous men take the Increased odds to a little, but speedily repent as they find' the disposition to lay that price rapidly Increasing. At this Juruituro I'earman, attired In deep mourning, entered the Subscription Itoom. It was but a few day since hi father' funeral, and, to do him Justice, be would not have been there bad not a friend telegraphed to him early In the day the onslaught that was being mado on Coriander. HusIhcm must be attended to, be argued, whether racing or otherwise, and knowing lib horse to be perfectly well, lie ran up at once to town to stop this demonstration against It. Foremost among the opponents of tli'e favorite, was a big, corpulent north coun tryman, who enjoyed tbo reputation of by no means throwing his money away. In turf parlance, when he persistent) bet against a horse, "he knew something." "Here's 1,000 to 800 against Corian der I" vociferated Mr. Tlyart, for tbt sec ond or third time, " said Pearman,' uuletly. "Ye, sir. Will you take It twice?" Pearman nodded. Tho bookmaker peuclltcd It Into his note book. The crowd, attracted by the fact of Coriander's owner coming to tho rescue, Imd surged round them; but no sooner had Mr. l'lyart completed bis memorandum, than lie reiterated lib hoarse war cry of "Hero's 1,000 to .'S00 axalnst Coriander!" n shout lu which he was Immediately joined by two or three other large speculators. "Put It down again, l'lyart," said Pear nian, grimly; and U-w, Inspired with con lldeiice by the way lu which hb owner had supported hi in, several iHicker In vested on the favorite. For a little, It seemed as It Coriander would rally In the market ; but the layers of odd far exceeded tho bickers; and Anally came forth Mr. Plyart's ominous shout of "-MX.) to l.tXM) against the favor ite for The Guinea 1'" "I'll take that !" cried Penrman, though hb astonishment knew no biur-ib; and, as the bookmaker noted It, be remarked. wlh a sneer, "tou'll find my -horse bad to get out of on the Two Thousand day, I don't think you will hedge, except at a lot "Perhapi st air perhaps so; but I'll bet you an even hundred he don't start. "IVue! and I'll make It ts(HX If you like." "No; you might start him on three legs. I wont risk more than a hundred on his not starting; but here's 4,000 to 1,000 he don't win, onco more." Sam Pearman WV hb head, and, at nil events for once In hb life, walked out cf TnttersaU's thoroughly puiiled. lie knew hb horse to be perfectly well, lis had aeen him that morning.

The decline of the favorite for a h'g race In the market I hardly so dis astrous to the uorld In general as bank share dropping twenty per cent below premium.
