straightway to look for that gen-
tleman, whom he eventually dis-
covered in the billiard room. He
was playing a game with Rebekah,
and Harecastle regarded her with
increased interest. However indif-
ferent a man may be to a woman,
the fact that there may be a pos-
sii ility of marriage—however re-
mote—between them, must compel
him to examine her with some de-
gree of curiosity.
As a result of his scrutiny Hare -

would adorn any man's life; and cover his liabilities. For what rea-

her manner that, coupled with a
beauty that was almost cold, made
a contrast that was fascinrting and
unusual. Then Nature had gifted
her with insight, and she was able
to adapt herself in a way that ren-
dered her companionship alluring.
The mere fact that Harecastle
was capable of analyzing her in so
cold-blooded a manner proved con-
clusively that ho was not, enamored

"So I rather gathered, when we
discussed the matter. Neither of
us spoke openly, but we understood
one another. The question is, what
can we do to bring pressure upon
him?" Joel said reflectively.
"It is difficult. He is not easy
to lead and it is almost impossible
to drive him."
"By the by, Wolverholme, have
you rid yourself of those debts?"
Joel asked suddenly.
The Earl was surprised at the
question, and his manner became
embarrassed, and this was not les-
sened by the keenness of Mr. Jo-
seph's look.
"Not quite, Joel; in fact, I want-
ed to speak to you about it," he

Joel did not help him out, but
waited for him to continue.
"1 suddenly discovered a labil-
ity ; a large one, that I bad over-
looked. It is some years old, and
t had ceased to counton it as a

"What about the Statutes of Lim-

trying, Joel. Here am I as weak
as a rat, and I have to contend with
an array of troubles that would
frighten a strong man."
"1 ani very sorry for you, Lord
Wolverhohne, but I do not see my

one thing, you are hiding something
from rue, and I don't like nisteries.
Be frank and 1 will think hat I

"I can tell you no more. The
money is nothing to you. Unless
1 get it immediately I shall be forc-
ed to consider Harecastle's sugges-
tion. I should hate doing it, but
s must have relief."
'•\What has Ackroyd to do with
you 7" Joel suddenly demanded,
and the Earl's ashen face and trem-
bling lips told him that he had
rtruck home.
"Nothing, nothing at all," the
Earl said, and his voice was broken.
"How much do you want I"
"Another twenty-five thousand,"
the Earl said, and his anxious eyes
tried to fathom the Jew's thoughts.
"It is a large sum of money,"
Joel said reflectively.
It may have been a latent cruel
taint in his character that caused
the speech, for Joel had quite de-
cided to let the Earl havo the mon-
ey. The amount meant nothing to
him, and it did net suit his purpose
to allow the entail to be cut.
"Give me the bills. It can snake
