CHAPTER VIII.

The Sabbath in Mr.. Newton's house
hold was always a pleasant and peaceful
day Of rest. All secular thoughts and
avocatiOnS were, as much as possible, set
aside, and after the usual attendance at
the house Of God the remainder of the
day was divested Of useless solemnity or
formality by profitable reading or cheer
full conversation.
As usual. Grenville was with them at
dinner, and so far recovered his natural
and pleasant department that Roses
heart rested again in happy confidence
and serenity.
Dinner waited some time and was at
last served and over before Dunbar made
his appearance-a circumstance so I'M
usual that it had given rise to some anx-
iety on his account, and Lillian's was not
diminished when she met him in the hall.
Nv hat is the matter, dear Eustace?'
DO not be alarmed, my darling. I
will not keep you in suspense. I am
panied for Door LIE Barron's wretched
family, but l will explain when we are
all together. 1t is story do not care
to repeat but once"
After hasty greeting from the family
he said:
early this morning our friend Austin
called to inform me of the troubles at LIE
Barron's. You all know that the brag-
CART adventurer De Courtney has for
some months had his eye on LIE Barron's
apparent riches under the guise of adj
miration for their eldest daughter. I
knew that Estella and her mother were
greatly smitten with him, and Maud was
pining with envy. The more cautious
and suspicious father had written to some
merchant abroad requesting reliable tes-
timonials respecting this prince in dis
guise before he would yield to the hasty-
contamination of the marriage, for which
the ardent lover was SO urgent. 1t seems

college when he cannot help knowing
that now, if ever, Is the time when we
should all cooperate. know if it were
me l should study to no purpose"
s'Well, dear, we will think of it. Per-
haps you and Ralph are right. But I
don't like to think So"
Eyes, father, l am sure they are
right" said quiet, thoughtful Alfred.
"Ard let me beg you will not separate
me from this work and insist upon my
remaining in college"
The Young man had spoken timidly,
but his face was glowing with deep feel
ing. He was at once interrupted by a
simultaneous voice from all. They were
fully united on that subject. Alfred's
education must be finished. He listened
with attention and heard each objection
to his wishes, and then all ti1nidity van
ished, and one of those changes SO pecu-
liar to his face TRANSPORTED him. The
earnest, manly dignity with which he set
aside the objections raised commanded
respectful attention.
He modestly reminded them he had
heard with great interest, but in silence,
all that had been said of future plans,
was to work whenever the mode of oper-
atoms was defined, but he surely had
not deserved to be severed from all he
loved and trained for a different sphere.
With a tinge of Ralph's humor he re-
minded them that they were always urg
ing him to be less sedentary and live
more in the open air, and now a way
was open to make that q duty which
they had only set before him for idle
amusement.
How proudly all listened to the young
lads manly words, and his father could
not but admit that he was really not in
circumstances to carry out their earnest
desires for their youngest without an
outlay that was scarcely warrantable.
.eAnd in acknowledging this, my chill
dren, which I own L do with very great
unwillingness, / show to each Of you
that it will take time and very close
watchfulness before we learn to adapt
our expenditures to our present income"
The family now prepared to separate
for the night, understanding that after
the visit to Eustace's place the course to
be adopted would be definitely settled.
Toward the close of the evening Gren-
vile aroused himself to take part in the
general conversation, but it was with a
visible effort.
Eustace babe them an affectionate
good night, but Jasper's preoccupied
manner could not be concealed. Rose
fingered with him for few moments in
the hall, and on returning to the family
said anxiously:
