but I cau't do it."

"Isot even for old times' sake. Master Tom?" "No, by George! That makes aU worse. When I was a lad wo went all over the hills together, shooting and fishing, and I told you all my school and love scrapes and thought there never was such a true, noble old fellow. It's too bad—it's too bad, Dykos but, indeed, I am sorrier for you than for myself to-day." lie went rapidly out of tho room but turned back a few moments afterward to say: "Never mind tho Whitehaven cottages I will call and get Tatham to attend to them. The new master of Sweetheart cannot be the old one's agent"

Dykes made no answer his arms were across the table and his head in them. Tom almost believed that he was crying and for one moment was tempted to say a kinder farewell. But ho did not, and on further reflection was glad he did not. Indeed, ho rather congratulated himself upon tho temperate way in which he had taken the shameful wrong done him for Tom, at this time, could imagine no circumstances in which it would have been right for such an old servant of Sweetheart to sit as master in its halls.

Dykes' suggestion, however, about his Uncle l'ealo appeared to be a good one and he determined to go to see him before ho made any other move. What kind of a man in: might be Tom had not the least idea, for in those days people did not distribute photographs broadcast.and a cotton spinner was an unknown person in Tom's little world. He found him a very imposing-looking man, tall, stout, blonde, with his h.ands in his pockets and that air of "What have 1 got to pay'.'" about him so common to the rich Knglishman. He looked indifferently at the tall, handsome fellow who lifted his hat and approached him until Tom, in his usual confident boil homie, said: "Good morning, uncle! How do you do?" "Eh! liy George! uncle! Why, who are you?" "Tom Sweetheart." "God bless you. Tom. Why, I never thought of such a thing. \ou are •welcome, sir, very welcome."

Tom, indeed, could not know how welcome, for the one bit of romance which Josiah l'ealo cherished was the memory of his love-match with the beautiful Mary Sweetheart, the late baron's sister. Mary had lived only ten months after the marriage, and after her death and -losiah's second marriage, the Sweethearts had quite ignored the temporary connection but still that ten months lay in .losiah's memory like a charmed interval, love laden and rose coiored. To have Mary's nephew come smiling in, and greet him as uncle, was a real delight, lie gave Tom both hands and took him home in a kind of triumph.

Mrs. i'oale was equally ready to like such a cheery, splendid-looking youth, ller own two daughters had been long married one was in Dradford, the other in Halifax. She was very glad of some new olijeet in her monotonous life, an very soon the stately house of the l'eales began be thrown open anil to echo to young, light footsteps and laughter and song. •losiah, though very sensitive, to the glory of his high mercantile position, had all tho Knglishman's veneration for "family his connection with the house of Sweetheart divided with his commercial success his proudest and deepest sentiments. When, therefore, after Tom had been a year in tho mills, he added the old name of Sweetheart to the firm, he felt that everything had been done for the honor of the house of l'eale that was possible.

Nearly three years passed, and so happily that Tom began to forget his purpose, and to feel that ring on his finger a reproacli. For he was spending all his income, and his uncle frankly told him that a share in the firm was all that he could justly give him. One day, when lie was very dissatisfied with himself, ho thought he would go home and talk things freely over with his aunt. On entering her parlor he found it darkened, antl she catnc forward with an imperative "Hush!" pointing to a couch, whereon lay a beautiful girl in a deep sleep. "She han hail an accident and a narcotic. and must not be awakened." "Who is she?"' "Kleanor Droadbent." "How lovely she is! Why is she here?" "She had been unexpectedly calling on me after her tliree years' absence at school, ller horses look fright, she was thrown out and brought back here, l'oor little Nellie!"

Tom stood a moment looking at the exquisite face, the loosened glory of the rich brown hair, and the graceful girlish figure, and went out on tip-toe, a completely enthralled and charmed man. Kvery meeting with Nellie made him more so, and. being ou terms of frankest confidence with his uncle, he very soon asked "what chances there were in his favor? Would his gentle blood stand for auything?" "Not farthing's worth with old Broadbcnt lie came to Manchester without a crown, and considers the mayor of Manchester quite as great a person as a royal duke." "And his daughter will have a great fortune?" "I don't think she is liis daughter seeirts to me her mother was Broadbent's sister—but daughter or niece, it is all one, she will have everything. Not much chance there, Tom, unless you have money with your birth."

But for somo reason best known to himself and his aunt, Tom thought differently. Mrs. Peale, indeed, laughed at her husband's doubts, and thought "Nellie llroadbent would choose tor herself." Doubtless Mrs. Peale knew that she had good reasons for her confident opinions. Anyway, Tom began now to seriously improve the business advantages his uncle had so generously opened to him and no sooner had ho set his heart upon making money than everything set with him in the same direction.

He got a letter from Tathain, of Whitehaven, offering to give him four thousand pounds for his cottagcs and before he could reply, Dykes, who had

never noticed him since they parted, wrote and begged him on no account to sell just yet. Tho railway mania was just then beginning, and Josiah readily divined tho cause of these letters. "Some new company is needing your land, Tom. I'd do what Dykes says, for he is a shrewd scoundrel and though I don't see his drift, I think here you may safely follow his lead."

So Tom refused Tatham's offer and very soon forgot it, for the frenzy, with Hudson as its leader, swept over England like an epidemic. Very few had strength to resist it, still fewer had wisdom to guide it for their own advantage. Old Broadbcnt made thousands and hundreds of thousands, and then lost every shilling. Josiah Peale stubbornly refused to touch a bond, but his influence and the fate of Nellie's father hardly saved Tom. Some days he was almost ill-tempered with everyone who said a prudent word to him.

One morning he found among his lctr tcrs one from Tatham, offering, in the name of the hitchaven & Lancaster Railway Company, twenty thousand pounds for his cottages—the land on which they stood having become aosolutely necessary for a depot. Tom asked thirty thousand pounds, and got it. Strangely enough, no sooner was the transaction completed than Dykes wrote, offering t,. sell Sweetheart back again for thirty thousand pounds.

The old rascal has got the railway fever it will be your Nemesis, Totn Will you accept his offer? Don't think you could do better with the tt'' ty thousand pounds?"

Tom hesitated, and his uncle watched hiin keenly. But it was only for a moment. His eyes fell upon the ring, and he said: "It may be a foolish sentiment to you, uncle, but to me it is the redemption of my word and honor. I shall go and buy Sweetheart back to-morrow." "Good, lad! You will be

worse merchant for being a gentleman and they keep money best who keep truth and honor first. But whv not

l'g

to-day?" "f tnust see Mr. Broridbent about Nellie they are in trouble, and Nellie will feel every hour's delay a wrong." "You will get nothing there now, lad." "All I want is Nellie. A gentleman values truth and honor and love above money, uncle."

Josiah laughed heartily '?.:.^'.'V'1 "You have me there, Tom. Nellie is a good girl, and welcome to thee."

Mr. Broadbent's losses had inclined him to listen r.vspeetfully to Tom's offer. "It ir. wonderful." he replied, "how often we lift the broken threads in life's warp. Nellie is not my daughter she is my niece: but no daughter could be dearer: and she was burn at Sweetheart. Now you ask her back there—, it is s!r:i::.r enough." '®f "Nellie born at Sweetheart!" A'S "Yes. My sister inarrkd the steward. It was'a very unhappy mritch: but we'll let tn»* past alone, She left him when her daughter was five years old and came to me. With- all her 'faults she was my twin sist:r. ami loved her."

Tom was" almost stair,yered. lie knew that Dykes' wk'e had left him. and he had heard that Dykes- had a daughter. But it was the on,! subject the steward allowed no one to speak about, and T.»:n never dreamed that Kleanor Broadbcnt could ba that daughter, tt cost hiin a few minutes' fierce struggle to accept the circumstances. bat he did it and. before he left Nellie that night, had taught himself to bblieve that the father's debt was cancelled in the love and loveliness of the daughter. lie went to Sweetheart the next day, and foun :1 both house and gardens in such beautiful keeping that he rejoiced over and over in the prospect of being its piaster again. Dykes offered him his han.1 as he dismounted at the garden gate, and this time Tom took it The old man's eyes were full of happy tears as lie said: "Thank God. you took ray hand this time, sir." "Yes, Dykes, and I am come to ask you, also, i'or the hand of your daughter. I .shall be a miserable baron of Sweetheart, unless Kleanor Dykes is its lady." "My daughter! My daughter! Oh, Master Torn, where is she?''

Then Tom told Dykes all about liis love, and this lime the listener was eager as the lover: bafore tho sale of Sweetheart was mentioned Dykes and Tom were clasping each other's hands and promising to be eternally true to each other.

As soon as they were in the old parlor. Tom said: "Now. father,1 jvill buy back Sweetheart again." "My dear lad, it has never been real-, ly mine. I told you Hint Sweetheart was ruined that I might save you. It nearly broke my heart when you left me yon black day. and it has been no light thing t'i bear my neighbors' illwill and scorning but you'll forgive me, Tom. I never would have been false, save that 1 might be the more true to yon, and I had your father's blessing on the plan." "And your plan, my second father, has madj a man of me, won me the dearest friends, and the best and loveliest of wives. I can make money as well as spend it now. and together we will make Sweetheart the most beautiful barony in Cumberland. "For six hundred years there has always been a Dykes to stand by a Sweetheart." "And now always tliey will own Sweetheart together."

People call Tom a cotton lord, and men who stick strictly to their lands and dignities affect to look down upon him. But to-day there is not richer or happier man in the North country, and in his vast works and enterprises thousands take their daily bread from his hands, ami bless him as the best as well as the noblest of masters.

Dykes and nele Josiah were equally proud of him, though sometimes they did not quite fcgrec as to which of them had the greatest share in savin? the ruined house of Sweetheart Amelia E. liarr, in N. Y. Ledger.
