Let her marry me,” exploded Cromwell, ner vously. ••Really, you surprise me,” said Mr. Manton. “You wish to marry Clara?” “I should consider myself the most fortunate of men if I could win her as my wife,” said Cromwell, who talked more freely than usual under the influence of the tender passion. “It is an important matter,” said Mr. Manton. slowly, “giving: away the hand of an only daughter in mar riage.” “I will do my utmost to make her happy,” said the enamored lover. “1 have no doubt of it. To be sure I have not known you long; but I have formed quite a favorable opin ion of you from our brief acquaint ance. ” This was hardly true, for Mr. Man ton had designated James Cromwell as an awkward booby in familiar conversation with his daughter, and she had assented to the justice of the epithetr. “Thank you, sir,” said Cromwell; may I then hopo for your consent to my suit?” “Why. you see, Mr. Cromwell,” said Mr. Manton, throwing one leg over the other, “there are several things to be taken into considera tion besides the personal character of the husband. For instance—1 hope you won’t think me mercenarv —but I want to make sure that you are able to support her in comfort, so that she need not be compelled to enduro any of the privations of pov erty. ” “I have a good business,” said Cromwell, “which is sure to bring me in a good income. ” “Do you own your shop and stock up clear of incumbrance? Is it all paid for? ••Yes. sir.” “That is well—for a beginning. Now what property have you be sides?” “Why,” said Cromwell, “I make about $500 clear from my ward, Robert Raymond. “Indeed! That is handsome. Still, he is likely to be taken from you.” “I don't think he wilL” “Still, it is not a certainty. It is not equal to property producing this amount of annual income.” “No, sir, but—” “Hear ine out. There is nothing so substantial as property invested well. A good income is a good thing, but if it comes from anything else it is not sure. Now I will tell you what rny intentions have been when anyone applied to me for my daughter’s hand, though I did not expect the occasion would come so soon. I meant to say, that is, pro vided the party was otherwise suit able, ‘Are you ready to settle $5,0 JO on my daughter on her wedding day, and will you still have an equal sum left?’ . That is the question I meant to ask. and I will ask it now of you.” He leaned back in his rocking chair as he spoke, and fixed a glance of inquiry on James Cromwell. He hoped that the young man would be able to answer in the affirmative, for if Clara could be well married, he would have his income entirely to himself and he had made up his mind in that case to go to Europe on a pleasure trip. This he could do without breaking in upon his principal if he went alone; but as long as Clara remained unmarried, he knew that he should be expected to take her with him. and this would involve more expenso than he was willing to incur. James Cromwell was taken aback by this unexpected difficulty. “I am afraid my means are not sufficient to admit of my doing this, just yet,” said Cromwell, reluctantly; but just as soon as I am able I will agree to make the settlement you propose. ” Mr. Manton shook his head. ‘•I am sorry,” he said, and here he only told the truth, “that you are not in a position to comply with my conditions, for they are indispensa ble. You must not think me mer cenary, but I don't believe in love in a cottage! As for Clara, she is a dear, unselfish girl, and she would think me mercenary. She never thinks of money, (I wish she didn't, he mentally added,) and would as soon marry a poor man as a rich man. But I want to guard her against the chances of fortune. So I desire that five thousand dollars should no settled upon herself, so that if her husband should fail in business, and you know such things happen very often, she will have a fund to fall back upon. I am sure you will think I am reasonable in this.” “My buuress ia a very eafn one, and the percentage of profit Is largo," pleaded from well -other downcast; ••and 1 think there would bo no dan ger of that.” “Yes, of course, you think sa Nobody thinks ho is going to fail. But disasters como to tho host busi ness men. ’’ “Then you insist upon your condi tion, Mr. Manton,” said James Crom well. in a tone of disappointment. “I must," said Mr. Manton with suavity. “Of course, 1 am sorry to disappoint you, but then the happi ness of my daughter is the first con sideration with mo.” -Then,” said Cromwell, “I may tell you that, though I am not now worth tho sum to secure your con sent, I havo a relative who has mo down in his will for a legacy of ton thousand dollars. I don’t think he will live long. Within a fow months I may bo worth tho roquired sum.” “I hope you will, Mr. Cromwell,” said Mr. Manton; “when that time comes, come to rao again with your suit, and I will grant It, that Is, unless Clara has formed -another at tachment during that time." Cromwell winced at this sugges tion, but he saw that ho could ac complish nothing more with the father, and in rather an unsettled framo of mind he took his leave. CHAPTER XVI. Love and Lucre. When James Cronvvell alluded to the possibility of his receiving a leg acy of ten thousand dollars at no dis tant date, it will be understood at once that ho alluded to the sum promised him by Paul Morton in the event of the death of his ward. Ho had endeavored to compass Robert's death at Niagara Falls, but since his failure there, he had lot the matter drop, partly from a timid fear of con sequences. partly from the thought that even without this sum he was sure of a good income. But the un expected condition proposed by Mr. Manton again turned his thoughts ,to the question of Robert’s death, and its pecuniary advantage to him self, and again our young hero was menaced by a peril by no means in significant. But Cromwell’s timid nature shrank from the audacity of the crime which suggested itself to his mind. Besides, though he was fas cinated by Clara Manton, he was not clear about settling so large a sum as five thousand dollars upon her. He would have done it if in his pow er, rather than lose her, but if he could obtain her on any easier terms he thought that it would be better. He decided, therefore, to see Clara herself, to communicate to her her father's answer, and prevail upon her, if possible, to marry him with out her father’s sanction. Chance, as he thought, favored him, for only a short distance from the house he met Clara, herself. She had left the house considerately, in order to allow him an opportunity to call upon her father, aud was now returning. ••Mr. Cromwell?” she said, with affected surprise. “I supposed you were in your shop. I fear you are becoming inattentive to business.” “I can't attend to my business un til one matter is decided” said Crom well. “What is that?” •, “How can you ask? Clara, I J>ave just called upon your father. I ask ed his permission to marry you. ” “W’hat did he say?” inquired the young lady. “He told me he would consent, on certain conditions.” “Certain conditions!” repeated Clara, innocently. “What could they be?” “He said that I must prove to him that I was worth ten thousand dol lars, and must consent to settle half that amount upon you.” "I hope you .don’t blame papa He carries prudence to excess.” “No, I don t blame him. It is natural that he should wish to make sure of his daughter’s comfort” “And what did you say in reply?” asked Clara, considerably interested. “I told him that at present my cir cumstances would not permit me to comply with his conditions.” “That’s a pitv. ” “But that I was expecting1 a leg acy from a near relative that may possibly fall to me very soon, which would remove every difficulty.” “What did he say then?” “That when I received the legacy he would give mo your hand, pro vided you were still willing.” The young lady cast her eyes upon the ground, bhe did not think much of waiting for dead men’s shoes, and doubted whether her lover had any such relative as he referred to In her own mind she looked upon the matter as at an end: and began to consider for whom she had better angle next. “What do you say to that, Clara?” asked Cromwell. “I suppose it is fair,” she said. “No; it is not fair,” he said, “to make me wait so long. I have a good income; I am careful, and not extravagant, and I know I can sup port you comfortably. Do not make me wait. Tell mo you will marry me at once?” “1 cannot disobey my father,” said tho young lady, who had all at once become very dutiful. ••But do you think he has a right to interfere with your happiness?” “Perhaps not; but I have always been taught to obey my father. I suppose he knows better than I what I ought to do.” “Surely, you are not afraid that I should be unable t> support you comfortably?” said Cromwell, * re proachfully. “Oh, no,” answered Clara. “I never think of money. My father often tells more of it I should * Is roT: l h that I ought to think I far as I am concerned, Nr think ol asking whether you wore worth 11,000 or ; iIkuwu ••I am aura," ho pleaded, '‘that If we wore once married your father would not object. The legacy I spoko of is sure to corao to me in a year or two, for my relative is very old and in very poor health, and there is no fear of his changing his will.'' “I have no doubt what you say is true," said Clara, though in hor own heart sho had vory serious doubts; "but then it would not bo vory long to wait a year or two, us tbo monoy will coinn, to you then." “A year or . two!" repeated Crom , well. "It scorns to mo like waiting j forever." "I am afraid you liavo not the gift of patience, Mr. Cromwell," said Clara, smiling archly. "No; I have not in this ease, for I do not think there is any occasion for waiting." | "But my father thinks so, unfor- ; tunately. If you can succeed in por- . suading him to the contra y you will ; find mo ready to do as you desire. ’’ j "Then you are determined to abide by your father’s decision," said Cromwell, in accents of disappoint ment. "I must,” suid Clara, mildly, "however much my own heart suf fers in consequence," and sho put on the air of a victim of parental tyran ny; ‘unless." sho added, "lam able to make my father regard It in a differ ent light.” “Promise mo that you will try," said her lover, grasping her hand. "I will do what I can,” she said. "But, really, I must go now. My father will not know what has be como of me." With a swoot smile* sho left him, and returned to the house. Ho turned, and went back slowly to his shop. _ ' CHAPTER XVII. A Dark Deed. “There is no other way!" thought Janies Cromwell, as fresh from his interview with Clara, he returned to his shop. “The boy stands in my way. His doath will bring me money and then that man will give mo the hand of the woman I love. There is no other way, unless Clara prevails upon her father to recall his condi tion.” But another interview with the young lady tn the evening.dissipated any hope of this nature which ho may have entertained. She reported that her father was immovable on this point, and that persuasion and en treaty hal alike been in vain. “I may soon be able to comply with your father's conditions,” said Cromwell. “I have received a letter to day which informs mo that the party from whom I expect a legacy is in very feeble health.” ••Perhaps there may be something in his story,” thought Clara, and in fluenced by the doubt, she smiled graciously, and said: “Let us wait, and hope that fortune may favor us.” “Promise me one thing,” asked Cromwell, “that you will wait for me. and will not admit the atten tions of anyone else?" But this did not suit the plans of the astute Clara. She by no means wished to compromise her matrimon ial chances by binding herself to an uncertainty, and accordingly an swered: “I would willingly do so, Mr. Cromwell, if papa wore willing, but he has expressly forbidden me to bind myself by any engagement, or make any promises.” James Cromwell’s countenance fell. "After all,” she, added with a smile, “is anv promises necessary in our ease? Do wo not understand one another?” These words and the smile that ac companied them, restored the cheer fulness of her lover. He thought he understood Clara Manton, but in this, as we know, he was egrogiously mis taken. The next morning he received the following note from Paul Morton. It was the first he had received from the merchant: and was in reply to one of his own he had written from Madison. [TO BE COXTINtJED.] House Proceeding*.
