WHATS ALL THIS ABoUTf"

Butcher shanks wns not logical; nor
was Grocer Iiobb. And each was led
by his dislike for the vicar to believe
that the vicar himself had purposely
insulted him. Perks rejoiced to fini
them both In this mood. He struck
while the iron was hot. lie unfolded 10
them his pretty little scheme for giving
the vicar beans. II they, mud the other
tradesmen In the place. to whom the
vicar owed bills, would combine and
hand him their accounts to collect, he
would soon read his reverence lesson.
He would teach him TO be careful how
he insulted honest tradesmen.
Grocer Hobb and Butcher Shanks
liked the idea Of the vicar being taught
that lesson. But they made II "sinc
qua non" that II they did this thing the
other creditors of the vicar In Whin-
field should do likewise.
Perks undertook to see the other
creditors, and, II possible, to secure
their compliance. He saw them; he
talked to them in his most insinuating
way; he worked upon their unqualified
hatred for the vicar. The end Of II was
that the solicitor wus instructed to COL
lcct the seven larger, accounts owed By
the vicar in the Piace. They amounted
jointly to about 200 pounds.
II was then the end Of the first week
In February, and Perks intention was
that the vicar should receive his agree
able communication on the morning Of
Valentines day. Perks had tolerable
notion of effect; and he considered that
the vicar would be doubly incensed IL
he received the dunning letter in the
form of q valentine. He had not told
his clients the exact strain In which he
should write, nor the extreme perempt-
oriness of the demand he should make.
But the letter which he posted to the
vicar on Valentines eve was as good
specimen of the sharp-practice solicitors
composition, when Intentionally in
sclent, us could be well desired. The
rist Of Il was that unless the whole
amount due on these seven accounts
we're paid to him, Sidney Perks, by re-
turn Of post. he should issue process
against the vicar, without further no
tice or delay.
There" said Perks to himself. tri-
Us he sealed up the envelope.
"I calculate this will just about give his
reverence fits"
1t did give his reverence fits. That Is
to say, Il put him into fine state OF
rage and excitement when be read II OF

looks and savage frowns struck de-
cided CONSERVATION into the breasts OF
the two other persons who were sharing
that meal with him. These were his
only daughter. Amy, and his nephew.

frequently came down from town, when
he was not very busy, to stay at the

aware. II had not, however. developed
into an express engagement until that
very morning; when young Miller, COM
ing down early and finding his cousin
In the garden. had taken the oppor-
tunity--for which the day was SO sim
gularly Appropriated declaring pas
sion which he could not any longer con-
ctal.
Amy had answered his proposal with
blushing acceptance; STIMULATING,
however, that Frank should inform her
father OF the circumstances Immediate
ly, and this he had. OF course, agreed
10. He did not, however, look forward
to the interview with any great pleasure
or confidence, for two sufficient reasons.
In the first place. he knew that his uncle
had q prejudice against first cousins
marrying; in the next, his own worldly
circumstances were not, at present, such
as would commend themselves to a
prospective father-in-lnw. lie hnd, in
deed, u little money Of his own; and
the vicar, being well of, might, II he
chose, make his only daughter good
allowance. But whether he would do

gugemcnt ut all, was decidedly Doubt
full matter; though Frank believed that

"Tisnt as II he was hard up" was the
unanimous complaint. "He has plenty

OF course, Perks heard these grumb!ss
In his almost daily intercourse with the
tradesmen Of Winfield. The solicitor

He meant to give the vicar Roland

and II occurred to him, after some re-

II was getting on into February and
the wears Christmas bills still re-

wish that the tradesmen to whom the
bills were due would put them into his
hands for collection. The wish strength
ened into a longing, the longing into
fixed resolve. He began, by gradual
and insinuating process, to get the
tradesmen In the mind to cooperate.
This was not such very easy matter.

crowled at and dislilsed the vicar In 10
measured degree, still his custom was

would have been to DO him nasty turn,

to take a step which would drive him

This, after some demur, the vicar, nt

him that II would be far more dlgnifled
for him to have no personal communica-

tradesmen. And SO the nffair was
placed, unreseryedly. in the young bar

The vicar rubbed his glasses and
looked at the letter again. He felt that
his eyes must have deceived him. But
no. There the thing was In black and

and as the vicar read II second time,
he gave quite n gratiAed smile. But
still he was puzzled.
