"You will get wet through, and that is not pleasant with a train journey on tne top of it." "It is very good of you, but " "You had better stay, Mr. Ack- royd," Joel said quickly. Ackroyd made an effort at self- control, but his flush betrayed him, and the Jew knew that he had hit the mark. "Ackroyd ! My name is Sinclair. I think that I told you so." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Sin- clair," Joel said effusively. "But you are very like a man I know in ; there is any immediate danger. But the City.

"Not good-bye, Mr. Ackroyd, we shall doubtless meet again," Joel rejoined harshly. The other made no reply but dis- appeared from the hall. "I don't like that man," Joel continued to Harecastle when they were alone. "That is very evident. What do you know about him?" "Nothing to his credit," Joel re- joined evasively. "I am extremely sorry for your father's illness. I hope it will not be serious." "Quietness is indispensable," he said gloomily. "I do not think pidity at not having grasped it be- fore. "Yes, Rebekah. True, it would be the first time that such a name has been borne by a Countess of Wolverholme ; but it has a classi- cal backing. "Rut I don't understand.

"I don't only wish it, but there is no alternative," he replied with a grim look. "Utterly impossible. Even if I were engaged to Ethel Fether.^ton, i should still be unable to do as you wish."._ "May I ask the reason?" "I do not love her," Harecastle replied simply. Bay is vulgar. In another 1 should call 'â- % caddish." "My position is desperate, and you do not seem to realize it." "I am sorry, but I repeat once and for all that I shall not marry MisB Josephs. He must be told at once. He must not labor under this illusion for a moment longer. You shall not trade upon this, fa- ther." "You are an utter fool, Harecas- tle, and I forbid you to speak to him. Man, you will stop him from advancing me the other twenty- five thousand," he cried furiously. "You must be mad." "That is what I intend to do. I have been blind too long. I had implicit trust in you, and the last few days have completely revolu- tionized my ideas. From this mo- ment I must have a say in your af- fairs. I have the right." "You are quite hopeless, Cyril. At least promise me not to speak to Joel for a week." Hareca.stle looked suspiciously at i 11 rM SHOW-RING PRACTICES.

"Then indeed 1 cannot take it as a compliment that you should mis- take me for him." "It is no compliment, and none was intended," Joel said brusquely, 4ind Lord Harecastle stared at the rough tone of his voice. "The man of whom I speak might be termed a bad lot were ha not well veneered with coatings of re- spectability." "I thank you, Mr. Josephs." "There is no need, but I should like to meet you again, if you will give me your address. I might be of some use to you in the City." "You are very kind." A servant burst into the room in a state of extreme agitation. "Come quickly, my lord," he cried to Harecastle. "The Earl is dying." - Lord Harecastle rushed in the di- -rection of the library. Ackroyd rose to his feet. "You must not go, Mr. Sinclair," Joel said quietly but firmly. CHAPTER VII. Lord Harecastle hastened to tho library, where he found the Earl ly- ing back in his chair unconscious. His face was of a deathly pallor, and his lips were bloodless, but to his relief ne saw that ho was still living. He ordered one of the ser- vants to go immediately for a doc- tor. He himself made his father as comfortable as possible, but he had little experience of dealing with sickness, and it was fortunate that Mrs. Goldberg came to his assist- ance aud at once took the direction ct affairs in her own hands. She unloosened his collar and sent to her room for oau de Cologne. For a while the Earl lay there. Hia breath came in gasps, and his body twitched convulsively. Hare- castle looked on anxiously, and to liis relief the Earl opened his eyes. "'Fhe medicine," he whispered hoarsely, and made a feeble motion with his hand towards the writing- table. The bottle had not been re- placed in the drawer, and Hare- castle hastened to pour out a dose. The effect was immediate, and the Earl endeavored to sit up, but the «ffort was too much for him, and he sank back with a groan. "I think we had better get him to bed," Mrs. Goldberg suggested, and thoy carried him upstairs. In the meantime Joel and Ack- royd were waiting in the hall. "Do you think I have killed him?" Ackroyd said with a grin. "Uiile.ss my judgment is at fault you are capahle of anything," Joel said significantly, "and I would prefer to hear what is the matter with the Earl, before you take your departure." Ackroyd mixed himself another whisky and soda, for he was be- ginning to feel the effects of the, afternoon's excitement. So far he nad succeeded, for he held the cheque in his pocket, but the Earl's death would stultify hia success, as in that event the Bank might refuse breath to honor the draft. To his great re- lief Harecastle soon returned. "He is better, and they have tak- «n him to bed," he said gravely, but his face showed signs of the â- tra'n he had undergone. "What is the matter?" Joel ask- ed. "Heart trouble. He is liable to these attacks." Ackroyd looked at Joel, and then laughed gNmly. "I hope jou are satisfied now. I believe thi.s man thought I had murdered jour father," he said to Harecastle. "I am quite at a loss why he should show such antagon- ism to an entire stranger." Joel laughed derisively. "You must hurry up, if .you want to catch your train," Harecastle •aid brusquely. solute rest The letter that Harecastle wrote to Ethel Fetherston was a prevari- cation that he heartily disliked. Ho informed her of his father's sudden illness, but made no mention of the Earl's objection to their marriage. In fact, he led htr to believe that he had not broached the subject. At any rate this illness would gave him a few diys' grace, and in tho meantime he might be able to dis- cover some way out of the difficulty. Joel fumed at the delay, for when he wanted a thing, he wanted it badly, and at the e.irliest possible moment. For a day or two the doc- tor would not allow any one to visit the Earl, and even forbade Hare- castle to see him. But while these heart attacks are acute, the pati- ent as a rule soon recovers from their effect ; and within a week Harecastle had the doctor's per- mission to discuss business matters with the Earl. Had the matter not been so press- ing, he would have delayed it for awhile, but he foit that, the present position was impossible. He would be severely handicapped at the coming interview, for he would be unable to speak hia mind so freely as he would have done if his fa- ther's health had been normal. The Earl bore evident traces of his illness, for iiis face was thin, and the lines around his eyes seem- ed to have deepened. t'"or the first time Harecastle tlioroug'.ily realiz- ed that his father was an old mar. The Earl's eyes were troubled, am] he greeted his son with a wan 8n:i!e that was pathetic. "I'ta not dead yet, Cyril, but it was a close shave. Perhaps it would have been hotter if I had died," he said, pensively. "You've yearj of life before you yet, father. But you must take great care of yourself. Don't wor- ry." "That is easily said, but the car- rying out is difficult. I have many troubles, Cyril, but I cannot bur- den you with them." "It is my wish to share them, and perhaps I know more than you think," Harecastle said siiguificant- ly- The Earl's face flushed hotly, and he made an effort lo speak. A hor- lible fear seized him that Ackroyd liad broken faith. "I know of your lo.sses," Hare- castle continued. "Tliey need not trouble you. It is of my niarriagc that I want to speak." The Earl made an impatient movement with his hand. "You must hear ino, father. The subject cannot be po.stpoiied indefi- nitely. I must consider Miss Feth- erston. If your objection is purely financial, you niunt waive it. I am not ambitious for wealth. Let us break the entail aud settle all our liabilities. There will be sufficient left for us to live with comfort, if not with splendor." "It would mean penury, Cyril. That course is impossible. I will never consent to it. May I ask how you know that I have sustained auv loss?" "Joel told me." The Earl swore beneath his being so, it is only one step on to The Earl's features expressed ! add some binding material to the great agitation, and he placed his ! dust ; call in the aid of an expert hand to his heart.
