NNGCS Eyes, my dear"
He laid down his
paper and looked question.
Kindly tell me again, papa, how
much money 1 have in my very own
right. You have often told me before,
but 1 always forget figures"
you have two hundred and fifty
pounds a year, under your aunts will"
"And Ida?"
ida has one hundred and fifty"
Now, 1 think can live very well
on fifty pounds year, papa. am not
very extravaganza. and could make my
own dresses if had a sewing-machine.'

like a good, dear, kind papa, in this
matter, for my whole heart is set upon
| it. Harold is in sore need Of money,
and through no fault Of his own" With
a womans tact and eloquence, she told
the whole story. Put yourself in my
place, papa. What is the money to me?
I never think Of it from years end 10
years end. But now know how pre-
cious it is. 1 could not have thought
that money could be so valuable. See
| what can do with 1t. 1t may help to
| save him. I must have it by to-mor-
| row. Oh, do, do advise me as to what
1 should do, and how I should get the
Money"
The doctor smiled at her eagerness.
you are as anxious to get rid of money
| as others are to gain it," said he. 'Tn
| another case I might think 1t rash, but
1 believe in your Harold, and can see
that he has had villainous treatment
You will let me deal with the matter"
You, papa?"
ut can be done best between men.
Your capital Clara, is some five thou
! sand pounds, but it is out on a mort
gage and you could not call 1t In"
"Oh, dear! oh, dear"
But we can still manage. I heve
as much at my bank. will advance 1t
to the Denvers as coming from you, and
you can repay 1t to me, or the interest
| of it, when your money becomes due"
"Oh, that is beautiful! How sweet
and kind Of your
"But there is one obstacle: I do not
Ind

Clara's face fell. Don't you think
so, really2S
"I am sure that he would not"
"Then what are you to do? What
| horrid things money matters are to ar
rangew
81 shall see his father. We can man
age it all between u.s."
ooh, do, do, papa! And you will do
it soon?"
"There is no time like the present
will go in at once" He scrubbed a
cheuue, put it in an envelope, put on
his broad straw hat, and strolled in
| through the garden to pay his morning
| call.
It was a 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 round upon
the carpet were little piles of jerseys,
| oil-skns, books, seXtant boxes, instru-
ments and sea boots. The old seaman
sat gravely amidst this lumber, turn
ing it over, and examining 1t intently,
| while his wife, with the tears running
quietly down her ruddy cheeks, sat up
on the sofa her elbows upon her knees
and her chin upon her hands, rocking
herself slowly backward and forward.
"Hullo, DOCTOR" said the admiral,
holding out his hand, there's foul
weather set in upon us, as you may
have heard, but have ridden out many
a worse squat, and please God, we
shall all three of us weather this one
also, though two of us are little more
cranky than we were"
my dear friends, 1 came in to tell
you how deeply we sympathize with you
all. My girl has only just told me
about It,"
1T has come so suddenly upon us,
DOCTOR" sobbed Mrs. Hay Denver. II
thought had John to myself for the
we have not seen very much Of each
other-but now he talks of going to
sea again.
AYE, aye, Walker that's the only
way out Of it. 1 was thrown up in the
wind with all aback. 1 give you my
word that / lost my bearings more COM
pletely than ever since 1 strapped a
middy's dirk to my belt. You see,
friend, know something of shipwreck
or battle or whatever may come upon
the waters, but the shoals in the city OF
London upon which my poor boy has
struck are clear beyond me. Pearson
had been my pilot there, and now
know him to be rogue. But I've TAX
en- my bearings now, and / see my
course right before me-"
what then. admiral?"
