sweetheart standing there. With a
word of sympathetic greeting he enter
ed and spoke with her plainly. He
urged her to leave the man who had
treated her SO badly, but she refused.
He pleaded that she owed it to herself
and her child, but she still refused, and
he departed.
An hour later he returned with a
woman, bearing food and wine and del
icacies. He assumed control, sent the
mother to bed, sent the woman to care
for the sick man upstairs and then sat
down to rock the baby to sleep.
Loved the Child.
Never before in his life had Milo
Green held a child in his arms. 1t
was reputed among the little boys and
girls of his neighbors that he ate chill
dren, after boiling them alive, and, in
substantiation of this charge there are
several small boys who declare he
growled at them when he caught them
in his apple trees.
Yet, with the infant in his arms, the
man appeared happy, and the child,
which had been fretful and peevish,
seemed to ind something to trust in
the hard, stern face above it, and fell
asleep with its arms clasped around
the mans neck.
Three hours later, when the mother
awoke, refreshed, the house was clean
ed, nourishing meal ready for her.
the woman had gone to employ nurse
for the sick man, and Milo Green was
sitting before the fire with the boy,
sound asleep, clutched in his arms.

was almost smiling as he watched the
boy.
When the boy was in bed Milo turned

Eyes, you have" said Milo Green.
There is the boy. I'll advance you

The Strangest Financial Transaction
Ever Known in This Country.
A ROMANCE is BACK OF IT ALL.
Capt. Milo Green. Tilted by the Girl He Loves.
Advances Money. with Her Child as Secu-
rity, When She Gets in Financial Diff
culties-CIain1 Is Due September
II of This Year.

Peachan, Vt One of the strangest
mortgages ever recorded in this coun-
try is held by Capt. Milo Green, rich
recluse farmer, living near this place.
The amount of the debt is $500, and
the security given is a bright-eyed, sew
en-year-old boy.
The mortgage falls due on September
n Of this year, and if it is not paid
promptly on that day no one who
knows of the case doubts for a minute
but that it will be foreclosed, and lit
tic Claire Leseuer will pass from his
parents to Capt. Green.
That lC may not be paid is more than
a possibility.
To tell the story Of this remarkable
transaction, and the strange romance
which is hack of it, it is necessary to
go back a number of years, and TO the
town of st. Johnsbury, where all of the
characters, with the exception of the
boy, lived 20 years ago. At that time
Capt Green was but beginning to

amass the wealth which is now his;
at that time Jaques Leseuer had but
just crossed the American border from
Quebec and was beginning to thrive in
the lumber business; at that time Ma
RE MERCER, daughter of poor French
Canadian parents, was one of the beau
ties of the district around st. Johns
bury, and among her admirers were
Milo Green and Leseuer.
Green had lived hard life. Born up
in the northern hills of Vermont, of
poor parents, he had had to fight for a
little education, and had succeeded. He
was a reserved, cold, silent man-as
forbidding and cold to most people as
his native hills in winter, but to Marie
MERCER all the warmth that was in
his nature was turned.
Wealth was beginning to come to
him then, and the little, biack-haired,
black-eyed girl perhaps was flattered at
the silent, unasking alteration Of the
man who was so hard to others. She
could turn him with a smile, or draw
him from his Office or his work with
a nod, and she knew it. In those Le-
suer was a strong, handsome, young
man, given to drinking and gayeties.
Green Tilted by the Girl.
There never was any promise, so far
as men knew, from Marie Mercier to
Green, but every one supposed she
would marry him for his money-if not
fol himself; and some thought perhaps
she would love him because he was so
opposite. There was surprise, there
fore, when she was married to Jaques
LeSeuer.
If his heart was broken Green failed
TO show it. He was little more silent,
q little harder, little colder, and he
got rich little faster-that was all.
For FIVE years he continued to live in
st. Johnsbury; then he sold his grow
ing business to a combine, and, with
out word of explanation, retired to a
farm he had bought near Peacham, in
the hills He put his money into mort
cages, stocks and bonds, and simply
dropped back to live the life of rich
recluSe.
Misfortunes in Abundance.
Things went badly with the Leseuers
from the first. A boy was born-Emil,
and three years later he died. Then
business went rapidly to the bad. Le-
seuer drank heavily. His wife stood by
him bravely, even after he was forced
to leave st. Johnsbury and seek work
day labor-at Guildhall What the
little woman suffered in the first ten
years of her married life she alone
knows. Her beauty changed-but she
still was beautiful. Trouble and hard
work could not change everything, and
her eyes were Just as flashing and her
hair as black as ever. The husband
still drank hard, but for time she
thought she had won the victory. He
quit drinking, settled down to work,
and there were three years Of compare
tive happiness Then Claire came, and
the mothers heart, hungering for years
tnT her lost boy. was satisfied.
