The peach supply has dropped off con-
slderably, and not one-fourth of the amount
of fruit is being received now that there
was a week ago. The decrease in the GUAM
tlty offered for sale and the superior fruit
which is being received should cause peaches
to bring good prices, the merchants saw,
but the wagons from the country keep the
market glutted with inferior fruit, which
huc6sters sell for almost nothing. While
this kind of fruit does not, to great extent,

CHAPTER V.

Bertram, Lord CarlswOod, had the repu-
tatiOn of being the proudest man in Eng
land. He was proud of his name, of his
race. of his pedigree-proud of his un-
stained honor, of his large fortune, of his
gentle wife, of his fair children-proud of
the repute in which he was held, of his
high standing in the country. AS a river
gathers force and strength from every
tributary stream, 80 he made every gift
Heaven had bestowed upon him tributary
to his pride
People speaking of him said he was Just
and generous but very proud. This pride
was not shown in patronage of his equals,
but in the most rigid observance of class
distinctions. He never pardOned any dis
regard for those distinctions; he was pune
tilious in the extreme; he gave to all per-
sons the honor due to them, and he ex-
pected the same in return. He addressed
each one by his rightful title, and insisted
on being so addressed himself He con-
sidered the Carlswoods of Bralyn among
the leading spirits of the country; they had
few equals, no superiors.
Had the Carlswoods been kings, they
would have known how to reign" he was
wont to say.
Another of his most frequent sayings
was:
The CarlswOods were an old family
when William the Norman took possession
of our fair Saxon land; but study their
records, and you will see that no Carls-
wood was ever dishOnored. There has
never been fortune hunter, or traitor,
or renegade among us: and-thank Heav-
en!-no CarlswOod made low marriage"
There was some who said that pride of
such kind must have fall-that it could
not always remain so arrogant; but the
stately head had not yet been bent in hui
mility or sOrrow-there was no stopping of
the erect figure, no softening of the haugh-
ty face.
Lord Carlswood married the daughter
of the Duchess of Middleham, a gentle,
high-bred, elegant woman. They had four
children-three sons and one daughter.
The fathers face would glow with pride
as he looked round on the young faces.
"There is no fear of the old race diving
out yet" he would say.
He loved his wife, he was proud of his
sons; but the great delight of his heart,
the very light and brightness of his homo,
was his daughter Katrine, a beautiful,
gay, high-spirited girl, who had all the
CarlswOOd spirit with its attendant pride
Her father literally worshipped her. He
watched her beauty as it developed day
by day: he pleased himself by irlagining
