"But Rebekah is young. In a year or two she will forgot me. There are plenty of men who would make more suitable husbands. She may find one that can give her the love she deserves." Harecastle spoke simply but with great feeling. Joel listened with a whimsical smile. "But here we have a marriage at hand that is in every way a tit and proper one. What is there to prevent it? Sho loves you; you never loved her, but still you agreed," Joel aaid with a sneer. "She did not then know that • 1 cared for Miss Fetherston." "That is unfortunate, but it will not, be the first marriage where the love is all on one aide. But I am getting very sick of this talk. Bring your father to the scratch in the morning, and I warrant that Rebekah will give in gracefully. Good night, and pleasant dreams." Harecastle walked moodily up- stairs. The Earl was not yet asleep and he looked up eagerly when his son entered. "Is he still obstinate?" he asked quickly. "As the pig, to which his race ob- jects," Harecastle said with a sneer, of which he was imrnediate- ly ashamed. "I am afraid that he will do what he says.". "But I may be able to persuade Rebekah," the Earl said eagerly. Harecastle shook hia head grave- ly"I don't think wo ought to ask her. Sleep on it father, we will come to a decision in the morn- rn"" I dread the night, Cyril. I am frightened. I can't think," the Earl said brokenly. Harecast:e watched him for a. mo- ment. "Quick!" the Earl gasped. "An- other attack." Harecastle hastened for the medi- cine and rushed ;to his father's side. "Send for a doctor immediately. Tho Earl is ill," he ordered per- emptorily. "Perhaps this will be a solution," the Earl managed to whisper, and lapsed into unconsciousness. pression, save for the dull pain in his eyes. "Can I sco Miss Josephs to- nieht l" be asked at last. "The morning will do. She is in bed," Joel replied triumphant- ly"I think I too will retire," tho Earl said as he struggled. "Cyril, w..i you help me upstairs?" "Yes, father," he answered as he took him by the arm. "It is early yet, Mr. Josephs. Can't you spare mo a few eiinutes t I will come down at once." "Certainly," Joel replied, "I am in no hurry for bed." Harecastle tenderly led his fa- ther to his room. "Don't worry," ho said sooth- ingly. "Perhaps we shall find w solution." , "You do forgive me, Cyril? I have brought you this terrible trouble," he asked appealingly. "1 forgive you, father," Hare - castle said gravely. "Try your Nest to sleep. I will do my best to persuade Joel to forgo his inten- tion. I will look in nn my way to bed to see if you are asleep." "I don't deserve such kindness, sey lad," the Earl said huskily. Then Harecastle did a thing that bo had not done for years. lie bent down and kissed nis fathers forehead. A convulsive sob broke from the Earl, and he silently pressed his son's hand. Harecastle felt that the coming interview was a forlorn hope, but he could not miss the faintest chance of moving the Jew. Joel was pacing to and fro, and he smiled genially when Harecastle made his appearance. "I am glad t, ser that the Earl Is inclined to view things sensibly," he remarked pleasantly. "Take a cigar, and a whisky and soda," "No thank you, sir," Harecastle replied coldly. "I am here to make one last endeavor to save my fa- ther. Be generous, Mr. Joseph. Ile is an old man, and very fra!1. Ne cannot live very long, and I pray you not to embitter his last days." "You have said all that before," Joel said quickly, "and if that is all, you may as well be silent." "I cannot. I must try to pe -- suede you. i am sure that my fa- ther will not succeed in persuadi.n your daughter. I can do nothing to help him ; she had suffered eno'tgh on my account.

Do you wish to lose her love? She is as strong willed as you, and she will keep her word. It is love for me that is animating her; 1 own it gladly. Can you not ap- preciate such large -heartedness? There are very few women who would behave to nobly; you ought to aid her rather than hinder her." "Very pretty. Very pretty in- deed. You speak like a penny CHAPTER XXII. Lord Ifarecastlo sat by his fa- ther's bedside anxiously awaiting the doctor's arrival. S•,on after the servants departure Joel come hurriedly into the room. ''What is toe matter l" he asked, and itis manner told of his pertur- bation. "I hope you aro satisfied with your work,'' Hareastle said cold- ly. "I nm sorry, but he is always having these attacks.

I have fent the chauffeur in a car, so he will not, be very long. 1 am very sorry this has heppened, Harecastle. Le- lieve me, I arm," Joel said earnest- ly. Iu a very short time the doetor arrived, and they buth remained downstairs awaiting his report. His face bore an expression of great gravity wheal he made his appearance. "The Earl is dangerously ill," he said in answer to their questionb. "Will he live?" Harecastle asked. "I cannot say. tie must be kept quiet. I will send a curse as soon as possible.,, "Is it. likely to be a long illness There is a marriage to take place ii. a week," Joel asked eagerly. "The Earl will not be able, to be moved for a long time, possibly months," the doctor replica, and Joel's face fell at the news. Mrs. Goldberg was roused early in the morning, and she at o=ice took the direction of afiairs in her own hands. She did not consult her brother, but quickly informed tall the guests that the marriage must be postponed. At last Itebekah's bell rang, and Mrs. Goldberg hastened to her room. "What is the platter, aunt? Why was I not called?" she asked. "The Earl is ill, and your mar- riage has been postponed," she answered hurriedly "Poor old man!" she said sadly. "Is he dangerously ill?" "Yes, my dear. Cyril has sone to town for Sir Francis Lockyer. "More trouble fcr him," she said with sympathy. "I will get up; he will sorely need some one to comfort Trim." In a few hours Sir Francis Lock- yer, the specialist, arrived, and he bore out the local doctor's opin- ion. "He is evidently troubled about something, and it is vital that ho should he kept• as quiet as possible. It is the only chance of saving his life," he eaid with ominous grav- ityRebekah sat down by the Earl's side, and he brightened up at her presence. "Child, I have sent for you. 1 want you to do me a favor. Will you marry Cyril?" "Don't trouble yourself. Cyril and I aro agreed," she said quiet- ly. "Cut your father—his threat?" he whispered hoarsely. Sho was stricken • with horror. Her father, then, was'the cause of this seizure. He must have told the Earl of his intention of destroy ing him. She haste..ed to comfort him. "Don't fear. He will not, do it. I promise you that if he still threat- ens, I will marry Cyril. Do you understand i Don't tell father that I I have said this. I will bring him to you," she said, with the idea that Joel's presence would tend to ease his ,Hind. She found her father in the lib- rary. "I hope you are satisfied with your work," she said scornfully. "It was not my doing," he lied obstinately-. "I won't discuss that, but the harm has bc;n done, and you must do your best to make things right. Tho Earl is worrying dreadfully. Como to him and te'''l him that you consent to the marriage being broken off. It is only right," she said passionately. "You hesitate," she cried scorn- fully.

The property is now held in trust by a prominent member of Parliament who will personally sign all receipts and will direct the development work. The OBJECT is to take ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (*1,000) provided for in the Syndicate to prospect the claim carefully as soon as the 'now goes. If the property develops, as we believe it will, the Syndicate will form a Company and sell Treasury stack to raise money for further develop- ment, which will give each Member of tin' Syndicate a substantial holding at first cost, and if it makes it success there will certainly be a large profit for each holder. If the Syndicate are not satisfied with the property after expending the money they hill sell and secure as much ns possible.
