With this perting magnificence the colonel extended his neatly gloved hand, and took his way down the dark stairs, and thence into the High Town with the air of ammn who g has discharged a delicate com- mission mission In an eminently praiseworthy fashion But if he felt on suoh excellent terms with wealth failed to penetrate ; while on its preserves, while the unhappy owner of either side of the smoothy shaved lawn, Fernleigh had no sympathy with the pur- with Its spreading copper beeches, was a snit of either foxes or pheasants. Colonel Sandhurst had no personal antipathy to his neighbour ; nevertheless, when an oppor- taiiity offered for a heavy mortgage, he jumped at the chance. And now that more than two years' interest wan in arrear, and the Colonel in a position to foreclose at any moment, the temptation was too strong to be resisted. "I do not see why I should drag a lot of roses, shaded by espaliers and arched bowers sentiment into the matter," he said reflec- of the filbert and golden pippin, with just tively. "Of conrae I am very sorry, and all enough neatness in its elegant disorder to show the hand of care. There was a fragrance in the air, a sent of sweet briar and lavender, mingled with mignonette half - hidden under the fallen petals of the apple blossom. The same now as it might have been a century; since the same as its sorrowing mistress first remembered it, when as a tiny child she rode on her, father's shoulder and plucked the sunny peaches on the ripe south wall; the same as when her whitening hair was a tangled net of gold and eloping bank topped by a thick laurel hedge, beyond which lay the gardens, each enclosed by high stone walla. And if Mrs. Charlesworth loved one part of her fair demesne better than another, it was the garden. There appeared to be no serious attempt at order, as one sees in such places nowadays, for the mossy paths were overgrown with eglantine and tulip and York that kind of thing ; but if I don't have it, slilme one else will, you nee." "I am afraid so," the lawyer groaned parenthetically. "I see that plainly enough." " Very well, then.

"I should like, metaphorically Fernleigh, a book in her hand, the other speaking, to throw your mortgage in your resting on the shoulder of a boy some twelve fade and snap my fingers at your legal rights. It all comes of this atrocious sentiment ; and the worst of it is that your offer is so magas• ficent, that speaking as a man of business, I dare not refuse it; only you must give us a week to think over;it.' Colonel Sandhurst smiled benignly, and expanded, as a man will who is conscious of having done a generous action, " Fernleigh is a beautiful old house," he observed com- placently, " and will be a very fine place for Frank end his bride. The old soldiers are pretty tough in a general way ; but hard service begins to tell after fifty, and I should like to see my boy settled before Iong.

There were gray lines in the soft hair walked by his side to the gates, and aftef• under the white lace cap, a subdued sadness in the fair face, otherwise untouched by the ruffling hand of time ; and yet a pleasant beautiful face, for beauty at fifty ie some- thing we like to gaze upon again. AS she looked up, her eyes fell upon Heath with a pleased smile of;welcome. "This is very good dimness in, is eyes, ronecioue of some feel- ing of inherent w'cakneerl, he became more dry and busieees like than newel ; hie habit when touched. " If this wonderful memory of yours wouldenablo you to remember where your grandfather, hid that precious Design• ment, it would be better for all parties con- cerned. Allowing that the deed cannot be found, Mies Morton takes the whole of the funded property. But if we San only die - cover it, the fifty thousand pounds at pre- sent invested in consols goes to you, and the Kingswell estates besides. " " It will never be found ; indeed, I almost doubt if it was ever executed," said Mrs, Charlesworth wearily. "It is all so strange and puzzling." "Not at all. When you, married your cousin v a Charlesworth, th who was a Vii n great scoundrel, if Lam any judge" --- "John, he was my husband, and he is deed," "And a good thing too," exclaimed the lawyer hotly.—" Well, you know how angry your grandfather, Martin Hay, was about that, though you were his favorite grandchild. By his will he left everything to your cousin Mary, who afterwards mar- ried Wilfred Morton. Of course you remem- ber how the old gentleman used to boast that he never altered his mind ; and when his feelings changed towards you, he refus- ed to make a new will. Bat by deed he assigned to you the income arising from the London property, and the Kingswell estates, There is no doubt whatever about that, The assignment was given into the custody of your father, and held by him up to the time of his death. And ittis my opinion that when Vivian Charlesworth got hold of the title -deeds to this place and tried to raise money on them (as he did), he must have found it somewhere, and laid it aside for future use," Mrs. Charlesworth followed this story with a vague idea as to her legal adviser's meaning. Then, with some faint ahow of interest, she inquired if Heath knew any- thing of this unknown relative who seemed determined to babe full measure of her legal rights. "All I know is that she is young, and is moreover, being well advised—that is, from a purely business point of view. You see they have everything on their side, and plenty of money to prosecute the suit. If they refuse to accept my offer of a compromise, Fernleigh must go." The listener caught the full significance of these last words, and her breath came a little mora quicaly. She looked up to the blue sky above the apple blooms, and away down the dint green avenue to the house beyond. How biteerly hard it seemed, doubly hard standing there in the full fresh beauty of the summer afternoon, hallowed by the sweet recollection of a thousand such, a maze of pleasant memory, back to the dim remem- brance of childhood. John Heath waited to allow the whole force of the declaration to strike home be- fore he resumed again. " Believe me it is beet to tell you this plainly, though it is painful enough to me. I have had a long talk with your mortgagee this afternoon, and he has made what I conetder to be a handsome offer. 01 course he can take the whole place as it stands at any moment; but he will do better than that ; he will buy the place for three thousand five hundred over his claim." " That is very generous," said Mrs. Charlesworth with an unsteady smile. " Would not that sum invested at five per cent. bring ne in a hundred and seventy- five pounds a year ? Three people can live on that." " A Great many people live on less. And besides, if 1 am any judge of Mies Gladys' character, she will be no weight on your handle.—Margaret, you are singularly bless- ed in your daughter." " I am blessed in both my children, John. Now I suppose you will want to bring my generous creditor over here soon? I wish f could feel sufficiently grateful, but I am re- bellious as yet. And if you can forget busi- ness for a time, perhaps a cup of tea---" "Not this afternoon, thank you ; I must be in Castleford by six. I will let you know when the colonel is coming." They walked down the garden path side by side ; and as Heath brought his trap round, Vivian stole from the house to his mother's side. He seemed by some subtle instinct to feel her presence near him, as he could tell the footsteps of those he loved. "Mother, are you unhappy ?" he asked. "I, dear ? Why should you think that ?" "I don't know ; perhaps it was my fancy. Some way, it seems lately that you and Gladys are so much quieter after Mr. Heath comes,' Any reply was prevented by the sound of the lawyer's approaching carriage, They wards stood for a long while watching him as he drove away. Presently Vivian lifted his hand, and laid it gently on his mother's cheek, `° You feel happier than yon did, mother ?" he said. Mrs. Charlesworth turned from the con- templation of the peaceful landscape, and bending over the boy, kissed his brow ten• should be found. I thought Vivian had had derly.

But, as you are bound to meet some time, the sooner the better, I am going out there this after• noon, and will mention it." The Colonel nodded slightly with a per- plexed smile on his lips, but he did not answer. for the simple reason that Mr. Heath was right. 'There was a momentary silence between them, in which the humor, ous oonveraatiou of the cabmen could be distinctly heard, they both stood watching him ; the one tenderly, almost yearningly, the other with a shade of sadness and pity in his honest gray eyes. "John," exclaimed Mrs. Charlesworth, suddenly turning to her companion, "If it were not for him the parting would not be so keen." "Keen enough to break your heart," re- turned the lawyer gruffly.

The Heroic Self -Sacrifice of S1ackemith John Penn, In one of the midland counties of England there lived a sturdy blacksmith named John Fenn. His little cottage adjoined his smithy and he shared its homely comforts with his wife,Eliza, and their first born babe John's namesake., One bright Sabbath morning John wended his way to the little ivy -clad church, as was his onetime on theonlyday of all seven when his clinking hammer was at rest. Taking hie seat in one of the very last pews John listened to the hymns of praise and to the pastor's voice as he preached the truths of the Gospel to his flock. Suddenly the peaceful scene was changed into one of the wildest confusion as a huge hound, snarling and foaming with madness, sprang through the opened doorway and stood swaying its great head to and fro, its jaws dripping and its eyes glaring with rage. John gave one quick glance around at the helpless women and children shrieking with terror, and then, with a quick prayer to God to protect his loved ones at home, he sprang forward and his strong hands seized the great brute's throat in a powerful grasp. A fearful struggle ensued and John's arms were torn and petted by those gleaming fangs,but his grasp never relaxed untilthe hound dropped dead on the floor. That night John's neighbors heard the clink of his hammer until alter midnight and the next morning found him with stout chains fastened to his wrists and ankles and riveted to the heavy anvil. He warned them from him and only asked that food and water be placed near him. One week afterwards brave John died. Bostonian Courtship.
