Perhaps Ferdinand Horley felt he wanted
something pleasant in his life just at

could not pay and writs that he could not

uncommony hardly used Here was a
young fellow of three-and- twenty, who had
never known a moments care, after

tormenting creditors. Why they had been
SO long suffering he hardly knew, except,
little fiction he invented of Julian's exceed
ingly frail state of health, which might
result in sudden collapse at any moment.
But in time that would do no good. His
position was really desperate. Them after
long evenings thinking, new light had
cleaned in his eyes, not pleasant one, and
he got up hastily, found pen and paper, and
wrote off to his cousin.
The result of the letter was satisfactory.
Julian would willingly exchange the gloomy
surroundings of his ancestral home where
he knew few friends, for the delights of
gay London.
But he did not mention to his cousin

times at his uncles house in Southam But
Julian had won her heart.

that was precisely the reason why Ferd-

his aid In transaction that many honest
men would have turned their backs upon.

long, thin face, weak eyes, and a general
stiffness of manner.

Mark stiles nodded, as he curled his
carefully waxed moustache.
His client was paying him a very stiff
price for his share in the matter-that is,

quite large enough to justify his closing his
restaurant to the general public for one
day. What mattered 1t If he chose to give
his employees q holiday and superintend
the dinner of just two guests with his own
hands? True, there was his daughter
Clara; but he could send her to spend the
evening with some neighbors.

In the spacious old kitchen where

Ninety-Nine Year Leases.

Ninety-nine year leases are said to
have had their origin in England. In
Queen Elizabeths time law was
made prohibiting property owners
from renting their ground or buildings
for a longer period than 100 years,
and thereafter the 80 year lease be-
came popular. At one time there was
a statute in the Illinois code by which
the length of lease was limited, but
this later was declared unconstitu-
tional
