 Exactly" said John Castlemaine; what then?'
 "I think we could invite to our house those whom we could really benefit by inviting"
 Start sort of hotel for poor peo- pie. I am afraid it would not do, Olive. They would be miserable amidst such surroundings"
 There are many people we know who would not be miserable, and to whom we should be rendering real kindness by inviting. In this way we could be using this great house for the good of needy people. There are young professional men, ministers, doctors, and the like who are very poor, and yet who are people of pe- fined and cultured tastes. An invita- ton here would be perfect godsend to them, and at the same time we should be meeting people who are our equals in the best sense of the word"
 "Yes," said John Castlemaine, there is Dr. Richards daughter, whom you used to invite to The Beeches. A fortnight here would be like paradise to the girl"
 There are hosts of such. Blu, more than that father; I think it is possible to help those who might not be happy as our guests in the house or for that matter whom we might not like to have there"
 well, what would you do for those ?" "I would choose one of the love- Hest spots on the estate, and build a large house, fitting it up on the lines of a good hotel. would make il Yopen to those to whom it might pos sibly be kind of health resort" Would you admit them gratis?' asked MT. Castlemaine with a smile 'or would they have to pay, like ordi- nary residents in a hotel?" T think they should pay; but their payment should be so arranged that while no one should be pauperized no one, whom it might be desirable to receive, should be kept out be- cause of money considerations" Again the keen man of business smiled.
 And what would you do with them when you got them here, Oliver" he asked.
 Well, as I said. the place should be fitted up on the lines of a hotel ol hydro, so that there should be plenty of opportunities for indoor amuse. ment."
 "Yes, but this is essentially an out. door place.
 Exactly. therefore you should have tennis courts, cricket field and, what more, golf links"
 John Castlemaine lifted his eye. brows.
 Have you any idea what thi. would cost, Olive? ?" he asked.
 "Yes, I have pretty shrewd sus. picion, but, as you told me just now you are a rich man, and no one has the right to either hoard up money or to spend it entirely on one's self Besides. there is a tract of moorlan6 just behind Hillhead Farm which when laid out, would make a perfect l golf links. There I think a clut house should be built'' Would you allow intoxicants to bs sold?" asked John Castlemaine, an6 he was sorry he had asked the ques l tion the moment it had escaped his lips. He knew it made her think o1 Leicester, and brought up many pain. full memories. She did not speak fol a few seconds, but presently she an. swered quietly:
 NO, father, and if the estate were mine, not single public-house should exist on it."
 | Have you finished sketching youl plans yet?" asked John Castlemaine | 'No, not yet" was the reply. 'T would build a little church, and viii lage hall. The parish church here is in a moribund condition, and tht services, owing to the vicar being ou of harmony with the times, art neither interesting nor inspiring Among your guests you will hay, ministers of all denominations.

 'But even then you would mee | the needs of only a part of youl visitors. Many belonging to the State Church would come, we should hope.'
