"Ar.d Ma?'" "Ida has £1."0." "Now, I think I can live very well on £50 a year, papa. I am not very extravagant, and I could make my own dresses if I had a sewing machine." "Very likely, dear."' "In that case I have £000 a year which I could do without." "If it were necessary." "But it is necessary. Oh, do help me, like a good, dear, kind papa in this matter, for my whole heart is set upon it. Harold is in sore need of money and through no fault of his own." With a woman's tack and eloquence she told the whole story. "Put yourself in my place, papa. What is the money to me? I never think of it from year's end to year's end. But now I know how precious it is. I could not have thought that money could be so valuable. See what I can do with it. It may help to save him. I must have it by tomorrow. Oh, do, do advise me as to what I should do, and how I should get the money."

The doctor smiled at her eagerness. "You are as anxious to get rid of money as others are to gain it," said he. "In another case I might think it rash, but I believe in your Harold, and I can see that he has had villainous treatment. I You will lot mo deal with the matter." "You, pap: "It can be done best between men.

Your capital, Clara, is some £5.000, but it is out on a mortgage, and you could not call it in." "Oh. dear! oh. dear!" "But we can still manage. I have as much at my bank. I will advance it to the Delivers as coming from you, and you can repay it to me, or the interest of it, when your money becomes due." "Oh, this is beautiful! How sweet and kind of yon." "But there is one obstacle—I do not think that you would ever induce Harold to take this money."

Clara's face fell. "Don't you think so, really?" "I am sure that he would not." "Then what are you to do? What horrid things money matters are to arrange!" "I shall see his father. We can manage aP. between us." "Oh, do. do, papa! And you will doit soon?" "There is no time like the present. I I

It was a singular sight which met his eyes as he entered the sitting room of the admiral. A great sea chest stood open in the center, and all around upon the carpet were little piles of jerseys, oilskins, books, sextant boxes, instruments and sea boots. The old seaman sat

his wife, with the tears running silently d'jwn her ruddy cheeks, sat upon the sofa, her elbows upon her knees and her :hin upon her hands, rocking herself slowly backward and forward. ••Huilo, doctor," s.-v'.d the admiral, holding out his hand. "There's foul weather set in upon us, as you may have heard, but I have ridden out many a worse squall, and, please God, we shall all three of us weather this ono also, though two of us are a little more cranky than we were." "My dear friends. I crime in to tell you how deeply we sympathize with you all. My girl has only just told mo about it." "It has come so suddenly upon us, doctor," sobbed Mrs. Hay Denver. "I thought that I had John to myself for the rest of our lives—heaven knows that wo have not seen very much of each other—but now he talks of going to sea again."

tiireo hours. What, then? My eyes are as good as over, except just for thenewspaper. My head is clear. I'm three and sixty, but I'm as good a man as ever I I was—too good a man to lie up for another 10 years. I'd be the better for a smack of the salt water again and a whiff of the breeze. Tut, mother, it's not a four years' cruise this time. I'll be back every month or two. It's no more than if I went for a visit in the country."

He was talking boisterously and lieapI ing his .sea boots and sextants back into his chest. ?. A#I "And you really think, my dear friend, of hoisting your pennant again?" "My pennant. Walker? No, no. Her majesty, (rod bless her, has too many young men to need an old hulk like me.

I shall be plain Mr. Hay Denver of the merchant service. 1 daresay that I might find some owner who would give me a chance as second or third officer. It will bo strange to me to feel the rails of the bridge under my fingers once more." "Tut! tut! this will never do. this will never do. admiral!" The doctor sat down by Mrs. Hay Denver and patted her hand in token of friendly sympath}*. "We must wait until your son has had it out with all these people, and then we shall know what damage is done and how best to set it right. It will be time enough then to begin to muster our resources to meet it." "Our resources!" The admiral laughed. "There's the pension. I'm afraid, Walker, that our resources won't need much mustering." "Oh, come, there are some which you may not have thought of. For example, admiral. had always intended that my girl should have £5,000 from me when she married. Of course your boy's trouble is her trouble, and the money cannot be spent bettor than in helping to set it right. She has a little of her own which she wished to contribute, but I thought it best to work it this way. Will you take the check, Mrs. Denver, and I think it would bo best if you said nothing to Harold about it and just used it as the occasion served?" "God bless you. Walker, you are a true friend. I won't forget this.Walker." The admiral sat down on his sea chest and mopped his brow with his red handkerchief. "What is it to me whether vou have it

now. There's only one stipulation. If things should come to the worst and if the business should prove so bad that nothing can set it right, then, hold back this check, for there is no use in pouring water into a broken basin, and if the lad should fall ho will want something to pick himself up again with." "He shall not fall, Walker, and you gliall not have occasion to be ashamed of the family into which your daughter is about to marry. I have my own plan. But we shell hold your money, my friend, and it will strengthen us to feel that it is there." "Well, that is all right," said Dr. Walker, rising, "and if a little more should be needed we must not let him go wrong for the want of a thousand or twro. And now. admiral, I'm oil for my .morning walk. Won't you come too?"' "No, I am going into town." "Well, goodby. I hope to have better hows, and that all will come right. (.-Joodbj", Mrs. Denver. I fool as if the boy were my own, :ind 1 all not be easy until all is right with inm.

When Dr. Walker had departed, the admiral packed all his possessions back into his sea chest with thy exception oi ono little bra.,s bound desk. This he unlocked and took from it a dozon or SJ blue sheet of paper all IDCTfled over with stamps and seals, with very large V. R.'.s printed upon the heads of 1" r-m.

strode slowly along, his head sunk and his brow wrinkled in perplexity. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He walked back to the railway stall and bought a daily paper. This lie turned and turned until a certain column met his eye, when he smoothed ic out and carrying it over to a seat proceeded to read it at lri.3 leisure.

And indeed as a man read that column it seemed strange to him that there should still remain any one in ihis world of ours who should bo in straits for want of money. Here were whole lines of gentlemen who wt ro turdened with a surplus in their incomes, and who were loudly calling to the poor and needy to

come and take it off their hands. Here was the guileless person who was not a professional money lender, but who would be glad to correspond, etc. Here, too, was the accommodating individual who advanced sums from £10 to £10,000 without expense, security or delay. "The money actually paid over within a few hours,"' ran this fascinating advertisement-, conjuring up a vision of swift messengers rushing with bags of gold tc the aid of the poor struggle?. A third gentlemen did all business by personal application, advanced money on anything or nothing. The lightest and airiest promise was enough to content him according to his circular, and finally he never asked for more than 5 per cent. This struck the admiral as far the most promising, and his wrinkles relaxed and his frown softened away as he gazed at 1 T~ it. He folded up the paper, rose from the seat and found himself face to tace with Charles Westmacott. "Hullo, admiral!" "Hullo, Westmacott!" Charles had always been a favorite of the seaman's. "What are you doing here':" "Oh. I have been doing a little business for my aunt. But 1 have never seen you in London before." "I hate the place. It smothers'me. There's not a breath of clean air on this side of Greenwich. But maybe you know your wa}* about pretty well in the cityV' "Well, 1 know something about it. You see, I've never lived vt ry far from it, and I do a good deal of my aunt's business." "Maybe you know Bread street?" "It is out of Cheapside." "Well, then, how do you steer for it from here? \rou make me out a course, and I'll keep to it." "Why, admiral, I have nothing to do. I'll take you there with pleasure." "Will you, though? Well, I'll take it very kindly if you would. I have business there. Smith & Hanbury, financial agents. Bread street."

The pair made their way to the riverside, and so down the Thames to St. Paul's landing—a mode of travel which was much more to the admiral's taste than bus or cab. On the way he told his companion his mission and the causes which had led to it. Charles Westmacott knew little enough of city life and the ways of business, but at least he had more experience in both than the admiral. and he made up his mind not tc leave him until the matter WJIS settled. "These are the people," said the admiral, twisting ronnd his paper and pointing to the advertisement which had seemed to him the most promising. "It sounds honest and above board, does it not? The personal interview looks as if there were no trickery, and then no one could object to 5 per cent." "No, it seems fair enough." "It is not 'pleasant to have to go. hat in hand, borrowing money, but there are times, as you may find before you are my age, Westmacott, when a man must stow away his pride. But here's their number, and their plate is on the corner of the door."

A narrow entrance was flanked on either side by a row of brasses, ranging upward from the shipbrokers and the solicitors who occupied the ground floors, through along succession of West Indian agents, architects, surveyors and brokers, to the firm of which they were in quesu A winding stone stair, well carpeted an.'. railed at first, but growing shabbier with every landing, brought them past innumerable doors until at last, just under the ground glass roofing, the names of Smith & lLinbury were to bo seen painted in large white letters across a panel, with a laconic invitation to push beneath it.

Following out the suggestion, the admiral and hi- eoimta-nion found themselves iu a dingy apartment, ill lit from
