Vow, OF course, 1t was all plain sailing,
morally. AS a personal matter, the mean
est lodgings at Hastings or ST. Leonards
would have suficed. 1t were better so
than to see a Denison OF Glinn so vilely
mated. But there were other ties to be
considered He, Harold Denison had I'M
doubtedly betrayed the trust of long
line of ancestors.
Then he began to think once more, Of
his daughter. He felt conjunction at
the idea of yielding his handsome Maude
to this low-born sutton. But then Maude
had never been to him what an only child
is to most fathers. He had never quite
forgiven the fact of her not being a son,
and she had ever been more her mothers
pet than his Again, this candidate for
her hand had been brought up a gentle
man, had the mark of the university
stamped on his based composition, and,
in short, had done much to compensate
for the deficiency of birth with which he
had entered the world He had seen
young Pearman upon two or three occa-
sions only. That gentleman, though the
blood of his father ran strong in his
veins, had quite sufficient tact to avoid
showing 1T. He dressed quietly, and alb
stained from self-assertion when mixing
with the class in which he was so anx-
ious to establish himself. He was, nat
urally, too careful of his money to fall
into the error of most parvenues, that of
ostentatious display. The little he knew
of him had not Jared on Harold Deni-
son. As to Maude, her affections must
be wholly unfettered. If she could be
brought to think of this man rs hus-
band it would really be good thing for
her In the end. And by such reasoning
the squire gradually worked himself
round to the conviction that it was, at all
events, his duty to submit Pearman's
proposal to Maude, and, further, to press
it strongly on her attention.
But before Harold Denison had arriv-
ed at this conclusion, there had been
much grief at Glinn. He had told his
wife of the contemplated foreclosing of
the mortgage, and explained to her that it
meant ruin-that is, ruin inevitable, as
far as their still continuing the possessors
of Glinn went. ~
Yes, Nellie, It's all over" said the
squire Pm beaten at last. Dear Oh.
Glinn must go through the hands of the
auctioneer, and become the property of
whatever greasy trader happens to have
most money at his disposal just now. It's
hard lines for you to have to leave the
place wherein / installed you as mistress
SO many years ago"
Don't think of me-" replied Mrs.
Denison, tearfully. II shall be always
happy as long as 1 have you and Maude
with me. 1t will be sad to leave all my
old cottagers and almoners to the tender
mercies of others; but oh it will fall
heaviest on you, Harold, to give up what
has been the home of your people for so
many generations !"
II don't deny it. 1t will be a dread
full wrench to think of Glinn passing to
strangers; but / suppose it must be so.
The foliies of our youth, Nell, smite us
sharply as we grow old. We shall have
to end our days in some cheap CONT
mental town"

CHAPTER VII

Very sad was Maude when she heard
the evil tidings, and that she had but a
short time left to look upon the grand
old chestnuts, the groves of laurel, and
the soft, pleasant, turfy vistas amid which
she had been born. Bitterly she thought
how the loss of all the accustomed sur
roundings would be felt by the gentle
mother she adored and we'll she OWNED
what would be her fathers sensations
when, having left the home of his apces-
tors, he should find himself exposed to the
monotonous existence of some watering
place or dull continental town How he
would brood over the extinction of the
Denisons of Glinn none realized more
fully than Maude. She knew her father
thoroughly; she was clever girl. and
fully recognized his foibles and weak
nesses. She comprehended the shock II
would be to his family pride-what the
loss of country pursuits would be to him.

the girl thought, sorrowfully, how little
she could do to alleviate all this. To
her mother-ahl yes, she could do much
to tighten her troubles, and be a comfort
to her; But for her father, nothing-and
the tears trickled through Maude's long
ashes as she thought how little she could
be to him.

the grim old Grecian, his duty required
him to sacrifice his daughter. | often
think that old story a grand allegory.
Agamemnon sacrifices Iphigenia, even
yet, pretty constantly at st. Georges,
Hanover Square. We substitute the ring
for the knife, and the wedding breakfast
for the smoking sacrifice; and we wreath
ourselves with flowers and silken raiment
as we offer up our maidens at the shrine
OF Plutus. Who shall say that, after
all, that was not the meaning of the
fable?
But Harold Denison was conscious of
an inward feeling that the newly formed
idea was an extremely awkward subject
