exclaimed Grenville. with a look OF dis-
appointment he struggled hard to con-
ceal; and then continued his search. But.
no; every drawer and cupboard Of the
school room Is ransacked in vain. Many
relic Of their merry old days there comes
to light. but nothing in the shape Of a
deed or parchment. Maude stood aloof
towards the conclusion of the search, half
leaning, half sitting on the table Her
face was serious enough now, and the
well-marked eyebrows rather knit. She
felt that the promised smooth water Of
the morning was as yet by no means real
lied. Since Grenville had kissed her, and
personally told his love. she felt endued
with infinite powers Of opposition to the
Pearman alliance.

Il must search elsewhere"

/ have an idea"
Her cousin did as he was bid, and
when a stray housemaid, In considerable
bewilderment, eventually made her way
to the disused room, Miss Denison said,
sharply. ''Tell Mrs. Upcroft she's wanted
here directly-directly mind-and don't
let her be as long about getting here as
you have been"
Nov, look here, Gren," continued
Maude, those papers were there. No
body but Mrs. Upcroft would have dared
move them. But. you see. she has known
me as child, and am always hard put
to 1t to hold my own with her. IL shs
don't happen quite to recollect what she's
done with them, she'll give me any an
swer, and won't even try TO take the trou-
BILE to remember. II can make nothing
of her, then you must chime In and fright
en- her. OF course she don't want to con-
ceal them; but she will know she ought
not to have meddled with them, and don't
like what she terms being put out"
There was a tap at the door as Maude
finished her speech, and her cousin had
but just time to give nod of intelll-
gence as the housekeeper entered.
Sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Upcroft,
said Miss Denison, blandly, "but l want
to know what you have done with the
papers that used to inhabit that drawerT
"I'm sure l don't know nothing about
no papers. You might have been sure Of
that, think, Miss Maude, before you
sent for me, and the butcher just her,
for orders an ALL" and the housekeepel
looked as sulky as she rightly dared. Sh,
had for years done as she pleased with
Mrs. Denison, and was bitterly jealous OF
any interference Of Miss Maude.
Excuse me, Mrs, Upcroft, II you dom
know anything about the removal Of such
papers, you should do so. Things ought
not to be moved from one room to an
other without the knowledge and licens
of yourself VIII you be kind enough t.

That's so like you, Miss Maude. Yor

CHAPTER XVI.

Harold Denison paused. He had never
seen his nephew break through his con-
yentional, cool, easy manner in this wise
before He felt that he had been terribly
IN earnest all through their interview.
Had he really some clue that might save
himP Then, perhaps, as far as it was in
his selfish nature to care for anyone, he
loved that child of his dead sister, who
had inst poured forth this torrent OF fran
tic entreaty. The cynic mask dropped
from his face as he extended his hand.

Cren. difficulties have thickened and

boy. how to raise ten thousand tomorrow
morning. and we'll talk over other things
afterwards. At all events, Maude shan't

Goodnight, uncle" said Grenville, as
bs clasped Denison's extended hand. "You
can't think how happy you've made me.
Leave me to work now, and If I'm not In
a nosition to forbid the banns by break
fast tomorrow, may never have another

Long and anxiously did Grenville wade
through those villainous musty old parch-
ments that night. 1t was a big box. and
contained some two or three hundred such
old leases, agreements, mortgage deeds
since cancelled, deeds Of trust and mar
rage settlements Of bygone Denisons now

out the last musty paper. Could this be

Grenville Roses face flushed, but he
answered steadily:
All that must be an after-considera-
ton. Uncle, answer me two questions
tairly' honestly, and as shortly as you
please-and then wait to hear what may
nave to say tomorrow morning."
III l am to listen, then, you'll be good
enough to talk rather more nationally

Believe me, uncle, 1 am speaking In
your interests. Do you owe Pearman
money?-Pshawl know you do. l
want to know how much?"
Really l had no idea you were keep
ing so watchful an eye over my interests.
Frying into the affairs of ones relations
was hardly deemed good taste In my day.
l think l may safely leave that answer
to your own natural acuteness. 1t seems
TO have stood you in good stead so far"
why" cried Grenville, passionately,
you can't think SO meanly of me? You
won't let ME help you? That you owe
Pearman money requires no espionage to
find out. / do know it-never mind
how
Probably your philanthropy and In
creasing practice, then, led you to run
down with view to rescuing your uncle
from his difficulties" said Denison, bit
terly.
"Yes, and no." said Rose, starting to
his feet. II have come for two reasons
Firstly, to win Maude for my wife, If !
can; secondly, to release you from all OBJ
legation to Pearman, If possible. If l
knew what the amount was, 1t would
make it easier for me. You don't choose
to tell me. l can only let you know to-
morrow, then, what sum you can raise to
meet such claims. Will you answer my
other question? Do you honestly wish to
see your daughter, Denison OF Glinn,
married to Pearman?
1t was a home-thrust, this. The blood
rushed to Harold Denison's temples, and
his eyes had an angry light in them as
he rejoined:
"This, / presume, sir, Is specimen OF
the easy manner Of the young men OF the

"Stop; you must hear me-" cried Gren-
Vile. "If tomorrow morning l can show
Won a way to clear all Pearmhn's claims
against you, will you listen to me then,

/ know you better than you think. You
are too far in Pearman's hands, or you

HEARn By RugE.

All Gary people are anxiously await
ing the outcome of the court fight at
indianapolis this week. It is to be
hoped that the strain will not become
uncomfortable.
Tomorrow is the day for the open
ing Of the bids for the city hall plum.
OF course, it will be the case of sour
grapes to all those but the lucky
bidder.
In New York a baby is born every
minute, it is said. An average of one
per day is the best record that Gary
can set without working over time.
Women say lots of things they think,
but a general rule the men think a
lot OF things they wouldn't dare say.
A cold wave is scheduled to arrive
In Lake county this week. It is to be
hoped that it won't strike indianapolis
before the court question is settled.

An impression has also been given
out by the Gary sheet that the Grown
Point attorneys are antagonistic against
hammond for their attitude in the
court night. Such is not the case for
at no time have they interfered or put
any stumbling blocks in the way of
either the Hammond or Gary bills.

, of their own court matters without as
s~istance of outside parties. We have
Remained perfectly neutral to both the
cities throughout the whole fight and
asked nothing Of them. We are fight
ing for a continuous court at Crown
Point, not for an extra judge at Ham
mond or the establishment of a superior
court at Gary. As far as Crown Point
attorneys are concerned 1 can say for
the majority of them that they have
no bitter feeling towards either Ham
mond or Gary"
Such seems to be the feeling among
the attorneys at the county seat. The
feeling displayed seemed to indicate
that Hammond and Gary could fight TO
their hearts content and if both their
measures were defeated the greater
the chance of the establishment of a
continuous circuit our at Crown Point.

Timber Too Widely Scattered.

While there is an abundance of suit
able timber in Brazil, it is difficult to
find many districts where the trees
suitable for lumber are close enough
together for profitable work. Trans
p~ortation causes much difficulty, often
making it impossible to transport logs
to a mill or lumber to a market.
