We must then be guided by what term you wake with Pearman." "I think I follow jou, Silky. And non each to his avocation, and good-night." "Oood-nlght," laughed D.illlon, a he followed (irenvllle to the door. "If ever Ram l'earman was In a biggish hole, he is Just now.

Wondtr why tbey do it! Never was spoons myself but once, and" and despite his tirade, Dal lison sat down and mused for more than an hour over that bygone flirtation of eight years ago. He might be cyntc&l about all that sort of thing now, yet there was a woman still living who could make hli pulses leap, should she meet him. It is a fact that, In some cases, women retain their sway years after they re not only unconscious of it, but have almost forgotten their admirer. It is true we also sometimes see the converse of this, when a woman would fain pick up the dropped stitches of a bygone love affair, but the male creature has freed himself from the yole. CHAPTER XIX. The early train on Thursday morning saw (irerivllle Kose, accoaip&nied by Mr. Nightjar, solicitor, Junior partner of the firm of Hawk, Sparrowbltl and Co., on his way to Slantovcr, the nearest railway station to Mannerslcy, from which it was distant about four miles. Having arriv ed at the tatter place, and ascertained that l'earman was at home, (irenvllle sent In his card, and a request to see that gen tleman for a few minutes, on business of Importance. Now, It so happened, that though Rose had a thorough knowledge of Sam l'earman, the other knew nothing whatever of him. He bad never encoun tered him personally, excejit to exchange that sentence or two after the Xminster ball. I don't know whether even then he bad Identified him; but of a surety that scene bid pretty well faded from bis memory, especially as regarded the personality of the other actor therein. It was as an entire stranger that he rewir ed the jouiig barrister. "I must apologlte for troubling you, Mr, Pearman, but I am here as the represen tative of Mr. Harold Denlson." "You could not have come with better credentials, Mr. I tone. Charmed to see both you and your friend :" he glanced at the cards In bis hands. "Mr. Nightjar, I think ? Will you take some lunch now, or after we have bad our little palaver?" "Nothing, thanks; our time is pre cious, and we will detain you as briefly as mavbe. You are, of course, aware that there Is a death fine on Mannentley ; or, to speak wore intelligibly, that the owner of (illnn lias n right of herlot over your manor on the death of any bolder thereofr , "A right of berjot!" muttered rear man. "No, I never'heard of suek claim; and I think my father died in complete Ignorance of any sttefa right." Though far from suspecting what was about to take place. Ham l'earman knew enough of law to understand this expres sion, "You bad better read that deed, Night jar, hucli right exists, and has been al ways exercised , generally compromised as a, Cue a course we proiwse to adopt In the present Instance." The solicitor laughed, and opened, first a somewhat musty parchment, and theft a document consisting of some two or thrco sheets of foolscap. "I will be aa short as I can, Mr. IWmau, but the story I a little Intricate to follow, I must premise that Maunersley us by no means originally part of the (llinn proper ty. It seems to have been granted by the Abbot of Xminster to one Hugh Wilson, 3 toman, for service rendered, conditional upon his bearing arms for the abbey, and being ever ready to do service under the banner of 8ir Jame Denlson of (llinn, the then lay lord and cliumplon of the bbey. He further lay under the right of herlot; in the first place, to the monks of Xminster, who were entitled to claim three beasts upon the deatli of Hugh Wil son, or any one of bis descendants hold ing Mantiersley, as an acknowledgment of tk iitw tw nwo-i in the fcbberi la V(T JGs 21 for Wife nr- SMART the second place, of one beast to the lords of (llinn, as a similar acknowledgment to the secular representative of the ab bey. Hut the monks of Xminster were swept away In the Reformation under Henry VIII., and of course that right of hrriot disappeared. 8(111 the masters of (llinn continued to exercise their claim upon everv occasion lor rrther over two hundred years, at the expiration of which time. In consequence of the decay of the Wilson family, Mantiersley fell, by pur chase. Into their bands, where It remain ed till sold to Mr. 1'eartns.n twelve year ago. The curious thlw: Is, this ilht of herlot still exists; the owner of (llinn Is still entitled to dennnd whatever Usist he may choose upon the Mantiersley estate upon the death of an owner thereof, ami the sueocsor can but submit to the claim. Do .vtMi follow- tne, Mr. Pearman?" "IVetty well. I thenk. May I ask when was thts right of herlot last enforced, and in what shape 7" "In 17IH Stephen Denlson, Esq., of (illnn. received the sum of "-'." In lieu of the right of herlot on the death of Mat thew Wilson. That was the last case. It was his heir and wipfs.or that ixdd It to the Denton that being Stephen, be fore mentioned." "Well, gentlemen," rejoined Pearman, "of course I aw wot rlte preiwred as jet to acknowhhlge this right I HHtsl consult my solicitors first on the subject. Still, it looks ptkusltde enough. I nm afraid." said he, laughing, "money don't go quite so far as In Matthew Wlton's ilay. What, may I ask, do jou aseee me atr "Ten thousand pounds" replied Orea- ville Rose, quietly taking up the parable, as had been agreed between himself and his coadjutor lieferehand. Ten thousand I Why. you're road!" Rut there was no laugh now In hi re Joinder. Hit quick Intelligence gathered at a glance what a desperate position he was in; and, moreover, that the opposite side were pretty well aware of It. "We're certainly not mad. I don't think we are foolish. I don't pretend to know much about these things myself, but the veriest tyro knows the first favorite for the Two Thousand, ten days before the race, is worth a big sum. Mr. Denlson li In dltheultles; money Is an object to him. We give you the option of pitting 10,(i00 fine or letting u make what we can out of Coriander. I fancy there will be plenty of (x-ople to bid for him, either one way or the other I mean either to try and win with him, or to take very good care he don't." Sam l'earman' turf training stood hits In good stead. He bad learned how to lose. He swallow cd the ferocious execra tion that rose to his lips. "You will al low me to look at that deed?" he inquir ed; "and, of course, you cannot expect an answer till I have bad time to com municate with my solicitor." "Certainly," returned (Srenrllie; "and your solicitors may aleo peruse It at the offices of .Mmrs. Hawk. SparroWblll and Co. I tell you fairly we bate had coun sel' oidnlen upon It, and there Is no iloubt the right f herlot still exists. We mean to wake the most we tan out of It. and either take Coriander or a flO.UU equivalent." Sam l'earman ran his eye rapidly over that old deed, which stated, after some technkulitie: "And uhepsis Hugh Wll mjii, veoman, did render good and secret sen ice last time Ralph Uversley did lay claim moat sacrilegious ami outrageous on land appertaining to us, ab) ami chap, ter of Xminster, in the year of our I.ord H."1, we do hereby grant to him and his body' heirs the fee-ilmple of the manor of Mannendey, in perpetuity, on the right of herlot of three beasts, to b delivered as token of fealty to us the said abbot and chapter of Xminster; with further right of herlot on the jmrt of Sir .lame Denleon of (illnn, and his heir, to claim one bat In acknowledgment of allegi ance to him as lay-baron ami secular liader of the retainers of Xminster Ab bey. The above acknowledgment of feal ty ami allegiance to be paid on the death of the then bolder by bis succetwor and heir male. Signed, Edmund ' Oervolse, ' Abbot of Xminster. March 10th, 1 1.VI." - "All very well!" said l'earman; "but If thi is all jou have to go upon, you can scarcely exieet tne to pay much at tention to the claim, more especially when fixed at such a preposterous figure." "No, of course not ; wo never thought jou would. Serve the writ of seixure. Nightjar, and then I think we newl in trude on Mr. rarman no longer." "Two questions, please, before you go," replied the owner of Maunersley, as he accepted a neat legal document from the solicitor. "First, tlmo I an object, at all event to tne, In this case. Ifeve ou any objection to say whose opinion you have taksn on that obsolete parchment'" "Not in the least. Rumford's. Refer jour solicitors to him." "Good man; getting a little old, per haps, but still safe. Hable to mistakes, as tbey all are, of course." "Wo consider him good enough. Any thing more?" "Well, e; ore you aware of my pecu liar relations with Mr. Denlson' family just now?" "Perfectly; and equally so with the causes which led to that result." "You are traveling rather out of the record, sir," rejoined Pearman. "I will see Mr, Denlson on Ihc subject myelf to-morrow." "Certainly, jou will find him nt hornet but H'rmtt me to my that I consider 1 Iimo expounded his lev pretty accurate ly, so rar. ' "IVrlutp o; but I'vo known people it....... .,.... !......
