with a smile.

Down in the village there was a gath
ering Of men. women. and children. The
farms were apparently deserted that the
settlers might attend some public cere-
mony which was taking place In the
village.
The occasion was the raising" Of the
frame of a new church. the first one OF
the settlement. and a great occasion II
was for the Nest.
Mordaunt descended the hill and stood
upon the outskirts of the crowd while
he heard Mr. Nemcome. his agent skill
fully manage to get the denomination OF
the church fixed as he wanted it.

For Mr.. Newcome was what was then
called a "slick one" and had things
about his own way on the patent" He
ran the mills, he was Justice of the peace;
he was storekeeper; he ran, by deputy,
the only inn in the village and was agent
for the landlord.
Mordaunt. as he listened to the man
fooling the people. thought to himself
that Mr.. Newcome was a trife too
slick" for the interests of his employer,
and began vaguely to realize why the
estate had never paid any dividends.
But a rumor ran through the crowd
that the young squire" had arrived
Mr. Newcome picking him out by his
resemblance to his father, approached
him with an air at once servile and pa
tronizing. How he managed to combine
these two opposite qualities in his talk
and manner is a mystery: but he did IT,
