BY Y HA CHAPTER VI. The solicitor drove away, fuming wkh Indignation. "Pompous, poverty-stricken !" were the epithets he applied to the squire. In these first moments of his wrath. Even 1 usurious solicitor is possessed of pride f some kind, and though he may hold it In tolerable subjection during the early stages of his career, like other men's, it waxes fat and thrives wonderfully under the accumulation of wealth. Harold Denison had trampled it remorselessly unler foot. Then the irritation subsided, lad the astute oM head once more began to reckon up the chances of the game. He played it all over again in his own nind. No," he muttered; "don't think I made inj mistakes! I was a fool to lose my temper, though. Hadn't I made up my mind, all along, that he'd take it pretty much in that way. to start with? When think how many of '3 I've seen run rusty about their family names, places, tad plate ! It was foolish ay, very foolish to be annoyed at Denison's tantrums. Names? bahT continued the old man, contemptuously. "If it came all the way from the Conqueror, its worth on stampid paper is the only valid test." Sam Pearman, when he heard the remit of his father's mission, took rather 1 different view of it from hio progenitor. As a younger man he lacked t je patience ; led then, moreover, was there not the Mow to his self-esteem? Between twenty md thirty we feel that acutely; from thirty to forty, with a sort of modified soreness; at fifty the conceit has been taken out of most of us, and we are no longer astonished at finding that the world rates us a little lower than our own valuation. Electroplate may pass for gold for a short season, in these days, but society is pretty certain to detect the ring ftf fale uaetal ere very longSamuel the junior had so far been a fortunate man in pursuit of his ambitions. Though not so successful as. he could have wished, yet, to a certain extent, he had worked his way into the county society. There were many houses that he was occasionally asked. to, as an odd bachelor to mal.e up. Despite all his father h.id said at the time, a man with Sam rear.-nan's eye to the main chance could not conceive a man in Harold Denison's position rejecting a proposal so very much to his own advantage. He might recognize a certain amount of difficulty 0:1 the part of the lady, but men of his age are not wont to be diffident about their own powers of attraction on these occasions, and San Pearmjin was ne of the last to entertain apprehensions n that score. "II don't knw what's good for him. nd that's about the size of it 1" 'vas that pentleman's remark, as his sire retailed die account of his interview with Peni10 n. "W'e shall have to exercise a little rntle pressure. I'm Dot going to be choked off my game, at all events at this itage of the proceedines. Invalids often require coercion to mike them take the nios necessary for their existence, and jt will be for you to make Denison underitand that he will cease to be Denison of niinn. at all events, unless he is prepared lo welcome me as a son-in-law." "Leave it to me, Sam, and don't bo in a hurry. I made up my mind about it ;be other night. I don't say all, my boy, jut a good many things I have made up oy mind to have come to pass 1b course of ;ime. Leave me alone to work the oracle ust now, and, depend upon it, I'll give fou due notice when it's time for you to iake a move.' Th son acquiesced. If at times he thought his father was getting a little low at turf tactics a purs ut from which e had in great measure withdrawn he f till held a firm belief that his parent vas difficult to beat in the great game of fe, more especially when he held a win ning card or two in his band. Some two or three weeks elapsed; and ;hen, one spring morning, Harold Denison received a letter to the effect that Mr, Vomrmaa of Mannersley felt it incumbent n himself to call in his money lent on mortgage, a more favorable opportunity lor investment having offered. ' That this would probably be the result it their last interview, the squire had foreseen. Yet, as days went by without ny such notince, he began fondly to hope lhat the attorney had seen tne presumption he had been guilty of. and that things would still jog qnietly along in their old ay. How ephemeral that way had now become,' under almost any circumstances, he still kept locked within hi own breast. lut as he read that letter the squire knew well that the rubicon was passed, that his chips were burnt, and himself defeated. He knew, too well, thai to raise that ten thousand anywhere else mould result it an exposure of his effairs tantamount to ruin. He was quite aware that Pearman was equally conversant with the fact. He prepared himself for the impending crash. But there is a certain amount of notice requisite on the calling in ol a mortgage, and this gave Harold Denison time to reilect whether for good 'oc evil the readers of this story must determine. Had the blow fallen at once, he would have abandoned Glinn, grimly, and set up his lonely tent in some remote watering place. Bat the crafty solicitor had measured the strength of his prey with great accuracy. It was not without design that the notice of the foreclosure of the mortgage had been delayed. "Give it time give it time," quoth that fisher of feeble humanity. He was right; and day after day did Harold Denison ponder over the old fisherman's trims; at first contemptuously, then moodily, until at last he bgan to think that it was his duty to retain Glinn at all hazards. Once arrived thus far, the speciousness of the reasoning became easy and rapid. "The lands I received from my ancestors it is my duty to transmit :o my descendants." A fine cocntry gentleman's sentiment, that would have invariably insured a round of applause at the farmer's ordinary in any market town of respectable dimensions. Now, of course, h was all plain sailing, moraily. As a personal matter, the meanest lodgings at Hastings or St. Ionards would have sufficed. It were hotter so than to see a Denison of Glinn so vilely mated. P.ut there were other ties to be -considered, lie. Harold Denison, had undoubtedly betrayed the trust of a long line of ancestors. Then he Legan to think once more of his daughter. He felt compunction at the idea of yielding his handsome- Maud" to this low-born suitor. P.ut then Maud' Lad never been to hirn what nn only child in to most fathers. He had never quit0 forgivea the f.ict of her nor lr:mz a ton, and sh bad ever been rcor' Ikt mother's pet than his.

SMART son. As to Maude, her nffectioss must lie wholly unfettered. If she cV.ild be brought to think cf this man as a husband, it would really be a good thing for her in the end. And by such reasoning the squire gradually worked himself round to the conviction that it was, at all events, his duty to submit Pearman's proposal to Maude, and, further, to press it strongly on her attention. But before Harold Denison had arrived at this conclusion, there had been much grief at Glinn. He had told his wife of the contemplated foreclosing of the mortgage, and explained to her that it meant ruin that is, ruin inevitable, as far as their still continuing the possessors of Glinn went. "Yes, Nellie-, it's all over," said the squire ; "I'm beaten at last. Dear old Glinn must go through the hands of the auctioneer, and become the property of whatever greasy trader happens to have most money at his disposal just now. It's hard lines for you to have to leave the place wherein I installed you as mistress so many years ago." "Don't think of me," replied Mrs. Denison, tearfully. "I shall be always happy as long as I have you and Maude with me. It will be sad to leave all my old cottagers and almoners to the tender mercies- of others ; but oh ! it will fall heaviest on you, Harold, to give up what has been the home of your people for so many generations !" "I don't deny it. It will be a dread ful wrench to think of Glinn passing to strangers; but I suppose it must be so The follies of our youth, Nell, smite us sharply as we grow old. We shall have to end our days in some cheap conti nental town." CHAPTER VII. Very sad was Maude when she heard the evil tidings, and that she had but a short time left to look upon the grand old chestnuts, the groves of laurel, and th soft, pleasant, turfy vistas amid which she bad been born, liitterly she thought how the loss of all the accustomed surroundings would be felt by the jrentle mother she adored; and well she divined what would be her father's sensations when, having left the home of his ances tors, he should find himself exposed to the monotonous existence of some watering place or dull continental town! How he would brood over the extinction of the IHnison of Glinn none realized more fully than Maude. She knew her father thoroughly; she was a clever girl, and fully recognized his foibles and weak nesses. She comprehended the shock it would be to his family pride what the loss of country pursuits would be to him; what it would be to find himself a mere Mr. Denison on straitened means in some quiet place where gossip was rife, and jour 80cial status was pretty nearly gauged by the bills incurred at the butch er's and the wine merchant's. And then the girl thought, sorrowfully, how little she could do to alleviate all this. To her mother ah ! yes, she could do much to lighten her troubles, and be a comfort to her; but for her father, nothing and the tears trickled through Maude's long lashes as she thought how little she could be to him. Such, so far, were the results of the machinations of that experienced "fisher of men," Mr. Pearman, on the unfortu nate family at Glinn. I have told the ingenious process of reasoning by which Harold Denison had. at last, not only soothed his conscience, but arrived at the conclusion that, like the grim old Grecian, his duty required him to sacrifice his daughter. I often think that old story a grand allegory Agamemnon sacrifices Iphigenia, even yet, pretty constantly at St. George's, Hanover Square. We substitute the ring for the knife, and the wedding breakfast for the smoking sacrifice; and we wreath ourselves with flowers and silken raiment as we offer up our maidens at the shrine of Plutus. f Who chad say that, after all. that was not the meaning of the fabler Hut Harold D?nison was conscious of an inward feeling that the newly formed idea was an extremely awkward subject to broach either to his wife or daughter. That he had never even alluded to Pear man's proposal I need scarcely observe. and that it looked still less pleasant to touch upon now he had made up his mind to be an active supporter thereof, must be equally obvious. Still the clouds were gathering so thick over the house of Glinn that no time was to be lost; and at last the squire nerved himself to the task arid sought his wife's boudoir, having pre viously ascertained that his daughter was out of the house. I want to talk something over with you, Nellie," he observed, as he entered "I don't think that it will be quite pleasant to hear, but, at all events, it can't distress you, as you will have the power of deciding as you like about iL" Mrs. Denison raised her face anxiously to her husband's. Decision, on any point was painful to her, and she was too wel aware, from former experience, that this was but the prelude to some scheme in which her concurrence had already been practically marked out by her lord and master. Harold Denison's consultations, at such times, generally comprised a mere synopsis of his intentions, revealing some minor unpleasantness which he looked to her to carry out. Poor Mrs. D?nison might well be diffident about suc h, confidences; as a rule, they had borne but bitter fruit. "What should you say." continued the squire, "if I tell you that it is possible to save Glinn to us yet?" "Oh, Harold, can it be so?" cried Mrs. Denison with clasped hands and beating heart. "No, you don't look like it; I see in your face there is more to follow. It Is some bare chance, and your sanguine nature has led you astray concerning it." "Nellie, don't be foolish. There is a way of arranging all these miserable money matters that has been submitted to me, and which, should we consent to. there is no doubt will prove perfectly satisfactory. I have turned it all well over in my mind, and though 1 have, as yet. come to no determination concerning it, yet I don't deem it altogether impracticable. Will you hear me patiently?" "Yes, Harold," was the meek response. "Well, what I want to talk to you about in this. Of course you must be aware that Maude is not only grown up and handsome, but has arrived at an age when wooers may he expected." "What do you mean?

"Maude can have no attachment as

There U no one I know," she continued, sadly. "Ot to claim my darlings hand. "It's no use feiunn any more, re plied the squire. "Young Pearman was inn.-'i ttrnck w ith Maude at the Xminster ball, and solicits permission to win her, if he can." " "Pearman ! What the son of the law T" cried Mrs. Denison. "You're jokyer : itorold nrelv! You would never consent to such a match for a daughter of yours." "Listen. Nellie, replied tue squire, sauly. "Pcarmau has a heavy mortgage on the property; he has bought the best part of what has been sold, and Maude's marrine with his son wouiu once more consolidate Glinn. Don't interrupt me! he exclaimed, in answer to a despairing gesture of his wife's. "I don't say 11 things stood with us as they did in the old times I'd listen to such a proposal as this; but, Nellie, if Maude could make up her mind to it, Glinn would remain ours, and that would lighten the remainder of my time in this world, and yours, too, wife mine." Not unless Maude were happy, mur mured the poor mother. I can fancv the contempt with whicn a Delgravian matron might regard Mrs. Denison's last remark. A penniless girl offered wealth, country house, etc., and her mother maundering auout tier Happi ness. Uh, it is too aosura (To be continued.) HOW TALL SHOULD A MAN BEP The Ideal Height In Said to lie m Little Inder Sir Feet. Recruits who are much over six fef t tall are not desired for the United States Army. There are exceptions, of course; but as a rule men who run much over six feet lack depth of chest, and by reason of Inadequate lung capacity fall Mow the average in power vt endurance. .The ideal' height tor a man, according to observations from a military Iint of view, is an Inch and a half under six feet. It does net seem to be intended by Natur? that the male human animal shall exceed this stature. if due regard is to he had for develop incut at all points. On the other hand, it Is an obvious disadvantage for physical effectiveness to be under the average nuniler of Inches. .At five feet ten and n half a man attains his best dvelopment of muscle ami bone, with highest vital efficiency. Just what H the average height for a man seems to be not satisfactorily settled. Obviously, it dilTers largely with race, we and the JapaiiN.se represcntinj; anions civilized pooph's the two extreme. On the other hand, the American Indians nre taller than we are and the aborigines of Patagonia niu?t be considered the loftiest folk In the world, ipr.smuch as the nieu commonly run over fslx feet In height. When the early Spanish explorers described them as a race of giants they were not far from the fact. Even .in the United States stature seems to vary considerably with locality. During the civil war. from the beginning to the end of which our government put into the field and on boanl of lighting ships more than 2,500,000 men. the tallest recruits came from Kentucky, averaging over five feet eight and a half inches. Kansas. Minnesota, Missouri, California and Nevada came next. In the order given all of them over five feet eight. Maine. Illinois and Michigan averaged five feet seven and four-fifths Inches, ami Ohio and Pennsylvania a trifle less. Recrulta from Massachusetts and Connecticut stood at the foot of the list, measuring five feet six and a half Inches. After DO years of age the human body leglns to undergo a progressive shdlnkage. Not only do the muscular tissues lose bulk, but even the I tones become smaller.1 Meanwl i'.e, there Is a contraction of the cartilaginous tissue letveen the vertebrae of the backbone, which causes a loss of heisht, a nnfti originally six feet tall frequently losing as i ölen as an inch and a half of his stature by the time he Is 70 years old.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi dent of the lmal Suffrage Lnlon, does not, In any way suit the description usually fitted by chivalrous men to woman suffragists. Far from being a plain-visa ged, badly-gowned, rather pugilistic person, Mrs. Catt is altogether charming, a delightfully womanly woman and quite interested as to the style ami beauty of her dresses and hats. Nothing in the world so Incenses Mrs. Catt as for a person or a newspaper to mix her personality with her propaganda. "One of the most brilliant writers on woman suffrage," she remarked not long ago, "Kills Meredith, of Denver, has this to sny about n certain phaso of enfranchised women, and I wish nil men who discuss the subject would treat it as a tract. 'It Is,' says this caustic chronicler, 'a singular fact that men seem unable to consider the abstract question of voting quite 11 part from Its personal bearings. For Instance, a well-known Denver writer laments that since the disastrous year of he has seen upon the streets: of Denver the sad faces of unloved woman.

The Clever Girl. It's rather hard on the girl win is clever lo feel that she is regarded hy the majority of men the sort of men in whose hearts lurks the ohlfashioned idea that a woman Is some thing of a household chattel as some thing that should be seen and not heard. Perhaps, however, writes Karl Kramer, it Is just because she is clever that she can rise above this masculine prejudice and keep right on In her own way. It takes a clever women to live down a man's prejudice. Then, too, poor little girl, she can't help boIng clever, and, on ttu- whole, the clever girl is one of the best in the entire category of the fair sex. She's never tiresome, always entertaining and companionable, and makes the best kind of a friend to a fellow. Her cleverness helps him over bad places and her advice is always good. She's the girl that appeals, first to a man's brain and Intellect, and then. If he is a real man, to his heart, which she holds, even against himself. She NEW IDEAS

The garment on the left-hand figure shows the fashionable combination of materials. The coat Is of sealskin, so soft and pliable that it clings to the form like broadcloth or satin. The broad revers are of a chiffon broadcloth. In a matching shade to that used for the skirt, which is pavement-gray. The buttons, which are of old silver and perfectly flat, have a rim of jet. The hat is of gray felt, faced with seal and trimmed with a band of the same fur and uncurled ostrich feathers. The gown on the figure at the right shows the vogue for satin used as a trimming. The naterial employed for the costume is a pigeon-gray L'rluccs. broadcloth. The sr.lrt is tight and narrow and the coat fits so as to emphasize the short waistline. In the back it comes to within two inches of the floor and sloped graefjully up in the front The broad revers and deep cuffs are of black satin, being without canvas as a stiffening, which allowed them to fall In soft folds. The Lat is of black satlu, trimmed with 'soft gray silk and black quills. '

isn't always conspicuous for beauty this clever girl; she is often rather plain than otherwise, but when It happens, as it frequently does, that she combines beauty with cleverness, sh has pretty nearly everything her own way. She Is ever well-poised and never appears offensively learned nor boldly aggressive. Neither is she retfrlngly shy. She lets her cleverness be respected rather than known, and at the apropos moment she shines forth like a brilliant light. In the household she may seem rather like a caged bird, but when the right man appears on the stage of life, her fluttering ceases, and with the steadying Influence of real love the clever girl Is transformed Into the clever wife and mother, and because her home affairs run smoothly her husband h satisfied, devoted and proud, and her children rise up to call her blessed among women. May the clever girl never grow less. The Cynic. A bachelor, who is known among his friends and their children as being always in the happiest spirits, singing gayly and whistling the newest songs, recently took unio himself a wife. Hearing the news the 8-year-old daughter of a house to which he goes frequently, asked her mother doubtfully: -Won't Mr. Smith sing or whistle any more, mother?" "Why, of course," said the parent, wondering. "Why?" Iiecause married people don't seem to sing much," quoth the cynic, sadly.

Care of th Teeth. A primary requisite in keeping the teeth clean is a suitable brush, adapted to the form and position of the teeth. For babies the very best brush that can be made is a piece of soft linen wrapped around mother's finger and dipped into a glass of water. When the gums are inflamed it is soothing and comforting. For children a small, soft brush should be used up to about the tenth year, then the stiffer brush substituted. Many complaints Incident to childhood could be readily averted by mothers teaching them the importance of the daily care of the teeth and mouth. American Working Grin. A consensus of opinion, appearing from conference with two high-grade employment agencies, four large commercial houses (not department stores), three large professional offices, and a large number of miscellaneous men of experience in the business world of New York City, says Harper's Ilazar, which has been conducting a symposium of working girls' experiences, is that: Taking education, family, training and influence, and personal qualities and characteristics, into consideration in determining what Is meant by "the best" of the wages of "the best" womIN CLOTHES. en employed In this city as clerks, bookkeepers, cashiers, stenographers, filing clerks, saleswomen, etc. the fol.lowlng seems to be true: . They (generally begin at )$7 or $3 per week. It (generally) takes about thre years to advance to $10 or $12 per week. It (generally) takes five or six years more to advance to $15 per week. Not more than 10 per cent ever go beyond $15 per week.
