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.

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

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

It all comes of this atrocious sentiment ; and
the worst of it is that your offer is so magas•

Colonel Sandhurst smiled benignly, and
expanded, as a man will who is conscious of
having done a generous action, " Fernleigh

placently, " and will be a very fine place

and humming a fragment of music with
a great ahow of palpably assumed gaiety ;
while Mr. Heath looked out across Castle -
ford's principal street deeply interested in
years of age.
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

ing of inherent w'cakneerl, he became more
dry and busieees like than newel ; hie habit

of yours wouldenablo you to remember where

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,

Mrs. Charlesworth turned from the con-
templation of the peaceful landscape, and
bending over the boy, kissed his brow ten•

The Colonel nodded slightly with a per-

answer. for the simple reason that Mr.
Heath was right. 'There was a momentary
silence between them, in which the humor,

tenderly, almost yearningly, the other with

FIGHTING A MAD )JOG.
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.

And sponged her limbs and body fair.
