CHAPTER XII.
 FRIENDS IN NEED.
 ''Now, papa" said Clara that morn ing, wrinkling her brows and putting her finger tips together with the air of an experienced person of business, T want to have talk to you about money matters"
 "Yes, my dear" He laid down his paper and looked a question.
 "Kindly tell me again, papa, how much money I have in my very own right You have often told me before, but al- ways forget figures"
 "You have e250 year of your own under your aunts will"
 "And Ida?'
 "Ida has e150."
 s"Now, think can live very well on $50 year, papa. am not very extrava- gant, and could make my own dresses if had sewing machine"
 "Very likely, dear"
 ''In that case have e2OO year which could do without"
 "If it were necessary"
 "But it is necessary. Oh, do help me, like good, dear, kind papa in this mat ter, for my whole heart is set upon it.. Harold is in sore need of money and through no fault of his own." With a woman's tack and eloquence she told the whole story. "Put yourself in my place, papa. What is the money to me? never think of it from years end to years end. But now I know how pre- cious it is. I could not have thought that money could be so valuable. See what, can do with it. It may help to save him. I must have it by tomorrow. Oh, do, do advise me as to what l should do, and how should get the money" The doctor smiled at her eagerness. ..TYou are az anxious to get rid of money as others arel to gain it," said he. 'In another case knight think it rash, but 1 believe in your Harold, and I can see that he has had vi1lainous treatment. You will let me deal with the matter"
 You, papa?"
 "It can be done best between men. Your capital, Clara, is some e5, ,O0O, but it is out on mortgage. and you could not call it in."
 ''Oh, dear! oh, dear!'' "But we can still manage. I have as much at my bank. will advance it to the Denvers as coming from you, and you can repay it to me, or the interest of it, when your money becomes due"
 "Oh, this is beautiful! How sweet and kind of you."
 ''But there is one obstacle-I do not think that you would ever induce Harold to take this money"
 Clara's face fell. Don't you think so, really?"
 Il am sure that Ee would not"
 'sThen what are you to do? What horrid things money matters are to ar rangew
 ''Ishall see his father We can manage it all between us"
 "Oh, do, do, papa! And you will do it soonw
 "There is no time like the present. l will go in at once." He scribbled check, put it in an envelope, put on his broad straw hat and strolled in through the garden to pay his morning call. It was 8 singular sight which met his eyes as he entered the sitting room of the admiral A great sea chest stood open in the center, and all around upon the carpet were little piles of jerseys, oil skins, books, sextant boxes, instruments and sea boots. The old seaman sat gravely amid this lumber, turning it over and examining it intently, while his wife, with the tears running silently | down her ruddy cheeks, sat upon the sofa, her elbows upon her knees and her chin upon her hands, rocking herself slowly backward and forward. | sHullo, doctor" said the admiral holding out his hand. "There's foul weather set in upon us, as you may have heard, but I have ridden out many 2 worse squall, and, please God, we shal all three of us weather this one also though two of us are a little more cranky than we were"
 "My dear friends. came in to tell yor how deeply wo sympathize with you all My girl has only just told me about it. 7"
