Poverty presses harder on a man’s pride generally than on a woman’s perhaps because most women cart more for persons than for things; and while those near and dear to them are well and happy, the pin pricks oi 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 have 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 l’U go and hurry tea.” “All right, dear,” he said gratefully. “It may do mo good, for I’ve a split ting headache.” Mrs. Dynevor waited till her daugh ter was out of hearing, then she asked anxiously: is lucre any uiing wrong, naroia: You were going in to Marton; did you see 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, wa3 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 w'ould soon en able them to pay off the debt; but it had never been paid off in all those years. It 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 £5,000 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 grcfSTii white even to her lips—nothing could have ter rified her more; but she wras a brave woman, and she knew, besides, where help and strength were to be found. One silent prayer to heaven, and she answered calmly: “There is only one thing for It, Har old—we mu3t raise the £5,000 and pay off the mortgage. To be at that man’s mercy is more than I can hear!” i uuu l now we re 10 cio 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 w'onder what hi3 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 he: death he let the Manor to General Cra ven for fourteen years, and, except pocketing the money from the esta!^ he has taken not the least interest ic the property since.” "Proctor says he has married again and thinks he means to settle at thf Manor. The general’s lease expire* year, and he has refused to renew it.’ "If he means to live here, of coursf he would want to get rid of us first,’ said Mrs. Dynevor quietly, “for mer never like the near presence of those they have wronged.” Now, according to the strict letter o the law. Eustace Lindon could no have been said to have wronged th< Dynevors, yet every one for mile: around Dynevor Manor regarded hin as their despoiler. It was a sad little story, so wei known that every villager could havi repeated it. When Mrs. Dynevor mar ried and settled at the Uplands, he husband had an elder brother, Frank who was ’squire of Dene, and thi largest land owner for miles round Frank Dynevor was devoted to th young couple at the Uplands. A goo< deal older than his brother. Charles and a very studious, reserved man. h had reached the age of 40 withou [ marrying. People were beginping to ! look on him as a confirmed bachelor, I and to regard the little boy at the farm | as the heir of tha Manor, when, be j fore Harold was 5 years old, his uncle i suddenly returned fr^m a summer hol iday with a wife of 18. There was not the least mystery j 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 as soon as i she w’as old enough. She had been | in it just six months when Mr. Dyne I vor came on a visit to her employer, and converted their little nursery gov • erness into the mistress of the Manor, i 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 wras 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 j nursery. The baby w’ho arrived at the Manor j within a year of the wedding was a 1 girl. She was 2 years old when her i 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, w’ho had beefi 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 J 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 Dynevors 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 j the Charles Dynevors keep aloof from ; the young widow, and so they did not J realize how quickly her acquaintance with Eustace Lindon ripened into in timacy; and it came ou 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 Easthlll. 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. j 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 j die possessed, mil or personal, of j every description whatever, to my dear ; husband, Eustace Lindon.” It had been drawn up by an English i lawyer, and witnessed by the doctor j 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, j 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 HaKMd 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 the ■ past since my illness began. I would | not say a word to your mother, lest . j she should brood over it; but I can’t i j help feeling Lindon did not play i | straight. Youc Aunt Nina was little more than a child'when he married I her; but she was singularly frank s 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 » nam.9 willingly.” "Do you mean you think the will was > a forgery?” asked Harold. I ‘‘No; I believe it was obtained from her by undue influence. When she ' was very ill he must have worked on t her fears in some way or other. 1 can’t explain what I think, Harold; but I seem to know Nina Llndon 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 J have been the same, but it would bare 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, J seem to feel that Llndon 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 i his father's last words, It was torture to Harold Dynevor to think that the mortgage on his mother’s home was | held by Eustace Llndon. Kitty and the tea traj' flame In to gether. There was a capable woman j servant at the Uplands, but she had J her hands pretty full; and both Mrs. | Dynevor and her daughter were thor ! oughly domesticated, sweet, home keeping women both of them, not learned in 'ologies and science, per haps, but well gifted to make those j 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, I 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 on KUty. “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. Ixn-ing 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 w'oo. 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 w.re forced to see that Captain Tempest was already more to her than Hayold 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 ehe marries; but she is 22, so I suppose it’s time she began to i think of such a thing, and Jack Tem ; pie is a right down good fellow. I took j a great fancy to him when he was j 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! be could not have cared for her really after all.” (To be continued.) NOBLE RED MAN. Difficult 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 j 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 j tors in their education the question is one in which the schools should be particularly interested. It 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 they can therefore be easily trained In the care of stock. Then. too. goats can 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 skins, 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.” Parent* I,lability for Child** Farr.
