Poverty presses harder on a man’s pride generally than on a woman's, perhaps because most women care more for persons than for things; ancl while those near and dear to them are well and happy, the pin pricks of having to go without many things their neighbors have are not so keenly felt, while to a man each is a morti fication. Harold Dynevor was a good son, and a brave man; but poverty tried him sorely, and there was a constant chafing at the injustice of circum stances which made his life harder than It might ’tave been, but which those who knew his story thought only natural. Harold was a gentleman farmer. He worked quite as hard as many farm ers who did not own the prefix; but he was the last male representative of a good old county family, who had been known in Sussex for many gen erations. He was popular wherever he went, his mother was devoted to him, his pretty sister, Kitty, looked up to him with fervent admiration; but Harold Dynevor could not be called a happy man. He had inherited a grievance, and the recollection of it marred his content. “You're tired out, Harold,” said Kitty gently. “I’m sure you work as hard as any of your own men. Sit down in your armchair, and I’ll go and hurry tea.” "AH right, dear,” he said gratefully. “It may do me good, for I’ve a split ting headache.” Mrs. Dynevor waited till her daugh ter was out of hearing, then she asked anxiously: is there anything wrong, Harold? You were going in to Marton; did you 3ee Mr. Proctor?” ‘‘I saw him, mother, and got a re ceipt in full. There's bad news. I meant to keep it from you, but I can see I’ve betrayed there’s something wrong, so I’d better tell you the truth, for fear you think it worse than it is.” “You don’t mean that the mortgagee wants to foreclose, Harold?” Poor lady! that was the bugbear of her life. Uplands, the land which her son farmed, was her very own. It had been her wedding portion, and the home of her married life. When bad seasons came, and expenses multi plied, with her full consent her hus band raised a mortgage on the farm. They had thought lightly of it then —a few good harvests would soon en able them to pay off the debt; but it had never been paid oft in all those years. If hung like an incubus about them, and Mrs. Dynevor’s one dread was that some day the mortgagee would foreclose, and, if they could not find the £6,000 due to him, they would have to leave their beloved home. "No, mother,” said Harold quietly, “It’s not so bad as that; but you will like the news as little as I do. It seems Mr. King has been settling his affairs, and he has transferred the mortgage on the Uplands to some one else. Proctor told me the interest was still to be paid to him, so we shall have no personal dealings with our new creditor.” “Then I don’t see that it matters,” said Mrs. Dynevor. “Your dear father always said Mr. King was a very hon est man. Do you mean that you have heard a bad account of the new mort gagee?” “He is a man we both have cause to fear and dislike, mother—Eustace Lin don!” Mrs. Dynevor had grown white even to her lips—nothing could have ter rified her more; but she was a brave woman, and she knew, besides, where help and strength were to be found. One silent prayer to heaven, and sh9 answered calmly: “There is only one thing for it, Har old—we must raise the £5,000 and pay off the mortgage. To be at that man’s mercy is more than I can hear!” "I don’t see how we’re to do it,” said Harold, gloomily. “There’s no money in the bank, and we must spend a good sum on the farm this year, for everything wants renewing. The blow couldn't have come at a worse time.” “I wonder what his object is?” said Mrs. Dynevor quickly. “He has never once been near this place since he left it with your poor Aunt Nina just after their wedding. Not a year after her death he let the Manor to General Cra ven for fourteen years, and, except pocketing the money from the estate, he has taken not the least interest in the property since.” v , ‘‘Proctor says he has married again, and thinks he means to settle at the Manor. The general’s lease expires year, and he has refused to renew it” "If he means to live here, of course he would want to get rid of us first” said Mrs. Dynevor quietly, "for men never like the near presence of those they have wronged.” Now, according to the strict letter of the law, Eustace Ldndon could not have been said to have wronged the Dynevors, yet every one for miles around Dynevor Manor regarded him as their despoiler. It was a sad little story, so well known that every villager could hawe repeated it. When Mrs. Dynevor mar ried and settled at the Uplands, her husband had an elder brother, Frank, who was ‘squire of Dene, and the largest land owner for miles round. Frank Dynevor was devoted to the young couple at the Uplands. A good deal older than his brother, Charles, and a very studious, reserved man, he had reached the age of 40 without marrying. People were beginning to look on him as a confirmed bachelor, and to regard the little boy at th» 2arm as the lieir of the Manor, when, be fore Harold was 5 years old, his uncle suddenly returned from a summer hol iday with a wife of 18. There was not the least mystery about his young wife’s antecedents. She was an officer's daughter, and had been brought up in an orphan asylum, which found her a situation a3 soon a3 she was old enough. She had been in It just six months when Mr. Dyne vor came on a visit to her employer, and converted their little nursery gov erness into the mistress of the Manor. If the family at the Uplands were disappointed, they made no sign, and welcomed the bride warmly. Frank Dynevor told his brother he meant to settle a small fortune on little Harold, “in case farming failed;” but he was not a businesslike man, and, being in sound health, no doubt he thought there was no hurry, and he might well wait till his nephew was out of the nursery. The baby who arrived at the Manor within a year of the wedding was a girl. She was 2 years old when her father took it into his head to go out to Australia to hunt up some informa tion for a book he was writing. Nina dreaded the sea, so he left her and her little girl at home. From that voyage he never returned. He died at sea. And Mr. Eustace Lindon, a fellow pas senger, who had been with him a great deal at the last, brought the news to the poor little widow at Easthill. CHAPTER IV. There was consternation at the Man or and the Uplands; but when Frank Dynevor’s will was read, his brother was amazed to find there was no men tion whatever of his promise to secure Harold’s future. It had been made Im mediately after the birth of little Lil lian, and it left everything in trust to his wife for her daughter, and if the child died before reaching the age of 21 her mother inherited everything, with power to bequeath it to whom she pleased. No wonder the Charles Dynevor3 were aggrieved. They would not have grudged the estate to Lillian; but that it should revert to her mother, that a girl who had never seen the old house three years before should have power, if her child died, to leave it away from the family who had owned it for centuries—it was terrible! Perhaps their sense of injustice made the Charles Dynevors keep aloof from the young widow, and so they did not realize how quickly her acquaintance with Eustace Lindon ripened into in timacy; and it came on them like a thunderbolt when, a year and a day after her husband’s death, Nina mar ried the specious adventurer and went abroad with him. Very little news of her reached Easthill. That she had a second child —another daughter—and that her health failed so rapidly she was obliged to live always in the south of France, was all the Dynevors heard in the first few years. Then there came a formal letter from Eustace Lindon, acquaint ing them with his stepdaughter's death; and, barely six months later, another to announce that his wife had passed away. “She will have left him all the ready money; but she can't be so base as to bequeath him the Manor,” Charles Dynevor said to his wife. “I don’t know. She was perfectly infatuated with him, and I suppose she would think of her child,” replied Mrs. Dynevor. But there was no mention of her child in the will. Mr. Dynevor paid half a guinea for a copy of it. It had been made immediately after the death of her firstborn, and it simply be queathed “all property of which I may die possessed, real or personal, of every description whatever, to my dear husband, Eustace Lindon.” I It had been drawn up by an English lawyer, and witnessed by the doctor and nurse who attended little Lillian in her last illness. Everything was perfectly in form. Mr. Proctor, the leading solicitor of Marton, who had been at school with Harold Dynevor, and remained his close friend, said that to upset it would be quite im possible. So Eustace Lindon enjoyed his thou sands and the Dynevors grew poorer every year. The father lived till his only son was old enough to take up the burden he had borne so bravely. His dying words charged Harold to be good to his mother and Kitty, and never, If he could help it, accept any favor at the hands of Eustace Lindon. “I can’t explain it to you, my boy,” said the dying man, solemnly, “but I have thought a great deal about th» I past since my illness began. I would ! not say a word to your mother, lest she should brood over it; but I can’t help feeling Lindon did not play straight. Your Aunt Nina was little more than a child when he married her; but she was singularly frank and true. Knowing as she did that Dynevor Manor had been in our fam ily for centuries, I can’t believe she would have left it away from the old name willingly.” “Do you mean you think the will was a forgery?” asked Harold. “No; I believe it was obtained from her by undue influence. When she waa very ill he must have worked on her fears in some way or other. I can’t explain what I think, Harold; but I seem to know Nina Lindon never did us such a wrong willingly.” “I could understand It better if she had left anything to her child," said Harold. “The injustice to us would have been the same, but it would have been more natural.” Mr. Dynevor shook his head. “It’s a mystery we shan't fathom here, my boy. Only, with the instinct God sends sometimes to the dying, I seem to feel that Lindon is to blame. If he comes to live at the Manor, avoid him by every means In your power.” And that was the story of the past. It was not strange that, remembering his father’s last words, it was torture to JIarold Dynevor to think that the mortgage cn his mother’s home was held by Eustace Lindon. Kitty and the tea tray came in to gether. There was a capable woman servant at the Uplands, but she had her hands pretty full; and both Mrs. Dynevor and her daughter were thor oughly domesticated, sweet, bome keeping women both of them, not learned in ’ologies and science, per haps, but well gifted to make those about them happy. Harold felt quite refreshed after his tea, and asked his sister cheerfully if any one had been there that afternoon. “Only Helen Craven. She wants us to go to dinner there next week. I said Tuesday would suit you best.” When the Cravens settled at Dyne vor Manor they made it perfectly clear to the family at the Uplands that they regarded them as friends and equals. The young Dynevors had spent some of their happiest days at the Manor, and Helen Craven was Kitty’s closest friend. “Tuesday will do nicely,” said Har old. “I shall be glad of a little talk with the general. He may be able to tell me something about his landlord." "Helen was quite radiant,” went oh Kitty. “It seems Alick is coming home next week on leave, and is going to bring his friend Captain Tempest with him.” She spoke with studied carelessness, and yet the speech had cost her an effort. Kitty and her mother were both dreadfully afraid Harold cared for Helen Craven. Loving him as they did, they were of course persuaded he could have won the general’s daughter had he only made up his mind to woo. Both believed only his poverty and pride had kept him silent, and it had come on them as a blow when they discovered the great interest Helen took in the visits of her brother’s chum, and they were forced to see that Captain Tempest was already more to her than Harold had ever been. So Kitty made this remark tentatively, as a sort of breaking the news to Harold that if he entered the lists he would be too late. Dynevor never guessed Kitty’s sus picions. He smiled quite cheerfully as he said: “Sets the wind in that direction? Well, you will miss Helen dreadfully, Kitty, if she marries; but she is 22, so I suppose it’s time she began to think of such a thing, and Jack Tem ple is a right down good fellow. I took a great fancy to him when he was here at Christmas. I only hope you’ll have as good fortune, Miss Kitty, when your time comes.” Kitty and her mother exchanged congratulatory glances, which seemed to say: “He does not mind! he could not have cared for her really after all.” (To be continued.) NOBLE RED MAN. Dlfflcult for the Indian to Become Self Supporting. How to make the Indian self-sup porting is a problem which William L. Brown tackles in the Southern Work man. He would solve the problem by making the red men a race of goat herders. He says: “The question of self-support for Indians is a difficult one. The limitations imposed upon them by the nature of the country in which they live and the lack of an in herited habit of work, together with the pauperizing tendency of the ration system, make it difficult for them to progress very rapidly toward self-sup port. And since a training having this end in view should be one of the fac tors in their education the question is one in which the schools should be particularly interested, if has been suggested that goat culture might of fer a solution of the difficulty in some localities. The Indians’ familiarity with and love for animals makes herd ing a natural calling for them, and iney can inereiure ue easily uaiueu iu the care of stock. Then, too, goats can I sustain life where cattle cannot. That goat culture may be made profitable there is little doubt, since there ap pears to be a ready market for the various products. Statistics show that the importation of the &kins, from which the chief value is derived, in creased 28 per cent in the fiscal year of 1898 as compared with 1897. Most of the goat skins used in this country are imported.. It has been estimated that the market value of the importation of these skins amounts to twenty mil lion dollars.” Parents Liability for CbUd'a Fare, A parent ^ntering a railroad train with a child non sui juris, but old enough to be required to pay fare, is held, in Braun vs. Northern Pacific Railroad company (Minn.), 49 L.. R. A. 319, to be under an implied contract to pay the child’s fare and, on refusal to do so, liable to be expelled frtwi the train with the child, even though the parent offers to pay his own fare or on refunding it to him if he has paid it. , Time waits for no man—unless he is carrying the ticket for his watch. Submarine Trip to Europe. Holland, the submarine boat man, proposes to cross the Atlantic In a new craft which will live under water or travel like an ordinary, respecta ble steamer, just as the owner desires. He has planned the itinerary and de clares there is no more to be feared In making this experiment than when he first took a dive in the orig.nal Holand boat. His new invention will go first to the Bermudas, thence to the Azores, Lisbon and Cadiz, Spain. Much of the trip will be made under vqjater, he says. Budapest*! Up'to-Date Service. A new telephone service has been established at Budapest, the object of the scheme being to supply subscrib ers with reports of all the important occurrences which are ordinarily chronicled in the daily papers. The service has a main line 168 miles in length, and it is connected with pri vate houses and various public re sorts. Between 7:80 a. m. and 9:30 p. m. twenty-eight editions of news are spoken into the transmitter by ten leather-lunged individuals, who work in shifts of two. Virtue eventually manages to get the laugh on those who throw mud at her. In 1890 the mineral production of the United States amounted to $619, 000,000 and in 1899 to $976,000,000. ABSOLUTE SECURITY.
