THE CLIFTON MORTGAGE.


Mrs. Clifton had just finished
ironing, and seated herself at her
sewing, when there was sound OF
feet OH the graveled walk, and in a
minute or two there was a loud
knock at the door.
She lay down her work, and going
to the front door opened it.
She saw before her Nathan
Burton, commonly known as Squire
Burton, who lived in the large brick
house next to the church.
Good morning, Mrs. Clifton"
said the squire.
Good morning, sir. Won't you
walk IMP"
THANK you, l believe | will
I have little matter of business
with you"
They went together into the
little sitting-room. plainly but
neatly furnished, and Mrs. Clifton
drew forward the rockingham in
which the squire seated himself.
He was little man, somewhat
inclining to stoutness, with cheek
the color of parchment, and willy
look in his face, which did not inn
press those who met him favorably.
Mrs. Clinton sat in silent ex-
pectation, waiting for him to COM
municate the business upon which
he had come.
"Ahem!' coughed Squire Burton,

aware that hold mortgage OH

II am aware that you hold such
mortgage, but my husband paid
you six hundred dollars upon it.,

"Please to repeat that remark,
Mrs. Clifton"
She did so looking at him in
some surprise.
III am very much surprised to

"Y on are under strange mistake"
"What do you mean?' demanded
the widow, quickly.
81 mean that your husband never
made me any such payment. The
mortgage remains undiminished."

slowly, looking him steadily in the
face, "what your object in making

"Do you mean to accuse me Of

"You are very generous, Squire

lou are very generous, Oqulre
Burton"
III understand you, madam, but
the offer is made in kindness to
yourself. No doubt you would
have difficulty in raising the
thousand dollars, and at auction
you would be compelled to sacrifice
your property. don't care much
about the house, but | will make
you fair offer for it.
"And shall you be willing to
accept me as "a tenant, when the
house has become yours?"
"Why, ahem! | have partly
promised to let it to nephew OF
mine who is going to move into
town in the course of the summer.
1T seems to me, Squire Burton,
you are little precipitate in
letting a house that doesn't belong
to you"
II thought you would feel dis
posed to accept my offer"
81 must have time to think about
this. The blow is very unexpected,
said Mrs. Clifton.
"Oh, certainly, any reasonable
time. Only can't wait after the
time expires. Of course if you can
raise the thousand dollars ! shall
not object to receiving it"
81 persume not, as in that case
you must have no resource but to
accept it,"
"I'll humble her cursed pride, :"
muttered Squire Burton as he left
the house, irritated by the contempt
which he read in the widows face.
"I've got the whip-hand of her, as
she'll find"
Weeks passed. Mrs. Clifton
searched the house over for the
lost receipt, but could not find it.
1t was great mystery. She could
not believe that her husband would
neglect the precaution of taking a
receipt in a matter of such import
ance. Yet where was it? 1t was
easy to ask the question but hard
to answer. She could only con-
clude that she had lost it, and
Squire Burton had found it.
Mr.. Clifton had died very sudden
ly. He was victim of heart dis
ease, and being attacked i'll the
street, was carried insensible into
Squire Burton's office-where med
ical aid was called. But he was
then past help.
1t was the night before the day
OH which the squire would have
a right to foreclose the mortga &c,
and still Mrs. Clifton was unpre-
pared to meet it. She sat despond-
ent in the little sitting-room when
there was a hurried knock at the
door. The visitor proved to be
Christopher Davenport, a youth OF
seventeen, who was employed in
Squire Burton's Office.
"Will you come in, Christopher
said Mrs. Clifton.
THANK you, | want to ask you
one or two questions. Does Squire
Burton hold a mortgage on this
house,"
"He does"
"For how much?"
"A thousand dollars
"Has any Of it been paid"
"He says not, and threatens to
foreclose tomorrow.
"But your husband did pay a
part-did he not?"
'He paid six hundred dollars,
but l have no proof of it.
"Then Mrs. Clifton, | am glad to
say that ! can give you such proof"
"You CAM exclaimed the widow,
ioyously and eagerly.
Eyes, here it u.s." and Christopher
drew from his pockets receipt i'll
form of six hundred dollars, duly
signed by Nathan Burtom, and
made ont to Mr. Clifton
