Say TOUR nunQred and nifty! And
that is large sum for Carshal, Mr..
Melford. I fear that the poor children
will have to crowd into the old schools
for some time yet"
L hope not. Ny father has asked
me to hand you check for a hundred
pounds, sir
This is very generous of your ia
ther.'
L shan't tell him SO, sir. Candidly,
| think he ought to have put up the
schools at his own cost
mo, no.
"Oh, but l think so. He would not
have felt it,"
Il can quite believe that"
But as he hasn't you must permit
me to have the pleasure of making UP
the balance, sir"
MY dear Mr.. Seymour! The whole
of he balance. Really
Il was going to say that l shall feel
it as little as my father would, but
I'm afraid that would be a mistake. i
may say, however that it will not
hurt me-"
Il can quite believe that also, But
still think it is very generous of you
to subscribe so large sum from your
allowance"
IF l took it from my allowance l
admit it would be rather large sub
scription, but l do not depend upoh
that-large as it is-entirely, Mr.. Lat

The rector bows.

Indeed, | didn't know

L am very glad to hear it. man

Thank you, sir; | was very glad to
have the opportunity and l hope that
when you want anything done in the
parish you will let nae have the
chance of helping you"
"You may depend upon that.''
You don't ask what nay business
is?"
Il am afraid I shouldn't understand
1t, whatever it is. I am the worst bust
ness man in the world"
II deal In stocks and share"

ness you can understand, sir, when I
tell you that earn several thousands

Dear me! But you are very for
tunate. have always heard that most
people lose money when they venture
to touch such things as stocks and
shares"
Most people do, because most PEG.
pie do not understand the matter. And
yet it is very simple. For instance,
few months ago l purchased some
shares in company for which l gave
one pound per share. They were
worth five times that amount when l
sold them. l cleared four thousand
pounds in few weeks"
The rector begins to be interested.
Four thousand pounds in few

rich man, but if am as successful all
through as I have been hitherto, I
hope to be as rich. Mr.. Latimer.'
Dear me, this is very interesting.
But you are speaking to a man, MI.
Seymour, whose hands are bound. l
could not stretch them out to grasp
the most golden of apples. I am too
poor to speculate. AS you are no doubt
aware, the living here is not sufficient
for our needs; and if it were not for
small income which I derive from
some private money, we should be m
a very hard case indeed"
"Mr. Latimer, am going to say to
you what l should not say, think, to

know; we have our secrets, and we do
not disclose them to men outside the

II can quite understand that" the
rector says.
