CHAPTER 3. H

MIR. Bragger was in the business OF
having ships built, and always kept a
large company Of men of all sorts around
him, and as he considered himself rich,
and withal possessed an unbounded dis
position or faculty Of boasting, joined to
the most disgusting oaths and vulgarity,
that he was known all about the com.
munity, far and near, as MIR. Bonas
Bragger, and my friend Clara Trueman
knew her man and understood his char.
acter from the first hour that she met aim
and she had often heard. Lawyer Stead
man declare that Mr., Bragger was man
Of no principle, and, of course, depended
entirely upon his money, and she had
seen enough of him a hundred times to
be entirely disguised, but she had her
victory to gain, and had armed herself
we'll for the battle. She felt determin-
ed, ii all friends should give out and fail
her, to still persevere until her object
was accomplished. But now with all
that could be done at the Savings Bank
or in any other way by her friends, it

seemed that the shavers had claimed it
for their own. Now comes along Mrs.
Fenno, as she hsd heard that the estate
was to be sold for about two thousand
dollars. She had come to look over the
premises, and being we'll pleased with
the house and situation, she said it was
her intention to purchase it for herself,
and wished to know if Mrs. Trueman
and her daughter was willing that she
should come to the auction. TIA
"Oh, certainly" said Clara, &" You
have as good right to come as any one,
and if it is to be sold in that way shall
hope to see you here, for believe there
are quite a number of persons tina,
would like to have it," .l ,- I'D ,...t
All this time Mrs. Trueman was like
ship in a storm on the ocean, for the
long attachment of fifteen years to her
home had made it seem dear es her life,
and then there was Luke, still doing
worse than nothing at all.
ooh! Clara :" Mrs. Trueman ex-
claimed, "where shall we go? Where
shall We find so pleasant home? Oh +!
my dear child what will be our situation,
now that / am old and love my home
so dearly, that nothing seems to look
pleasant to me, only when we are here
together" 90. .fa rnaI. .....t.H

many plans in my head, mother, do not
fear, we will fix them yet. Your daush-
ter will never give up. But here comes
Lawyer Steadman, and we will see what
new plan he has in view for u.s."
GOOD afternoon, Mr. Steadman,"
said Clara, "what is your prospect now
for us? or what is the next proposal you
would help US to do?"
"Why," said the lawyer, 81 should
think we may get a Savings Bank to
take this mortgage, surely, as well as
not, certainly it is very good property,

and think ! should advise you to send
them a proposal immediately"
"Send them a proposal?" said Clara.
"Never, Sir, after visit to this Com
pany of Shavers, 1 am sure never shall,
for know enough of them already, for
they have made such uneqeal laws and
have locked up their money against wo-
men. They say that women are sell

sea hAu.-she farmers and mechanics get
along, for in six days more, and our es
tate must be sold, if we cannot obtain
the money for Mr., Bragger."
"Well," said Mrs. Trueman, go on
then, my daughter, go on"
81 shall work as for my life, mother"
said Clara, 81 have all my plans in my
head, and my heart shall 60 with me too,
mother. Six days will do something
for u.s."
"But will call on my Lawyer again and
learn how much he has DONE"
/" Good morning, Mr.. Steadman," said
Clara, "I have come to know what you
have DONE"
SWELL" said the Lawyer, find that |
can do nothing more unless it is taken out
of the paper, and l really think that we
must let it come to an Auction"
"Wel," said Clara, "as we have had
six days to look round, and you tell me of
no prospect in view, will 60 to Mr.
Bragger's again, and see what he intends
we shall do.'
"Well," said the Lawyer, "that would
be good plan, for am sure we could
raise the money if he would entirely take
it out of the paper"
"Well, then,'' said Clara, 81 will 60 and
inform my mother, and call on Frank by
the way, and tell him about our plan, and
in fifteen minutes more Clara Truemnn
was seen in Frank Fearing's store.
s"Now Frank" said Clara, i have one
more battle to 60 through, and if MIR.
Bragger will not have the sale put off, will
you stand by our estate? ] wish you to
understand that we know our friends, and
those that would take away all we have if
they could. Fear not, Frank" said Clara,
" we very well know that Mr.. P. Green
would set you against us if he could, aud

learn in dealing with our City shavers.-.
We would give you an opportunity to do
something for us, that you will he honOred
in feeling that you have been our lriend.-
Remember, continued Clara, that it is by
our deeds we are known, and not by our
words alone, Frank. True friendship is
always known by it's deeds, and now by
this act we shall know that you are our
friend. You shall not loose anything by
us. This is not our intention assure you.
This we shall be able to prove TO you.-
Let Mr.. P. Green say what he may.
"Yes,' continued Clara, he has told you
to keep entirely clear from helping US, and
is foolish or green enough to think we
don't know it. No, Frank Fearing, we
do not intend you shall lose dollar by US.
But we do mean to save our estate and
now is the only time for you to help u.s.
Say what you will do" continued Clara,
for we are determined not to sell our es-
trare. - '---------------

On her arrival, she happened to see him
near the house. So away he come, DASH
