Aud then she told him all als»ut the ghosts ut Walsham C range.Hut instead of laughing, as 1er-riers half expected, the young fellow took very great interest in the story, got them to tell it again, and then (piito frightened them by jumping up, banging the table, and shout ing, \u201c |lv Ceorge !\t1 vc got it !

and in her unconscious humility «lid not fancy she could be of much importance to anybody in the world except her father.Charles, for his j»art.holding like most other young men & v ery iliflerent opinion concerning Milly\u2019s value, and being a gentleman by birth ami breeding, with a small estate' in tile neighborhood, sought an opportunity to ask Mr.Jarvies for regular permission to .tTer her his hand.He ha«l several times met her in company with his sister, her former school fellow, who had lately married and left Badborough ; but Mill) had few visiting acquaintance : ami her father, cherishing an old grudge against Charley\u2019s family on account of an unjust lawsuit in which the usurer was perjured and defeated, would uevef return thep«|lite salutation of the youth in the village street.\u2022\tOne «lay Charles mde in from Oaktiehl, and boldly called at the house of Mr.Jarvies, the new red-hriek house in St.Mary s Place, intending frankly ami fairly to prefer lus request.The door, as it chanced, in a servant s absence, w as opened by Milly herself ; and it is a fact that the young man blushed much, while the did not blush at all.This would not have been the case if lie bail at once told her his business, of which she lia«l then really no idea: but bethought it would he more honorable first to tell her father.While she was about to answer his inquiry whether he could see Mr.Janies, the old usurer, who hail been out, returned to ids house, accompanied by a fashionably dresseil man of middle age whom Charles recognised a» Sir Fit/.e Deuce, Dart., of Bla- kball Manor.The recognition was mutual, but very un-pleasant.The two gentlemen eyed one another silently, with an air of contemptuous defiance.They had last met .it a certain haunt of mixed company in Lomlon, where the Baronet, a notorious profligate, impudently misbehaved himself, and was checked by Charles with a threat of forcible expulsion.He now fixed upon the young man a glare of hatred whiehlMr.£Jarvies perceived.\u201c Sir Fitze : \u2019\u2019 said the usurer, \u201c is anything th«* matter ?\" \u201c Only that I did not expect to see this yoiing puppy at your house, was the reply.\u201c I shall not stay now.\" Charles Nesbitt's passion rose instantly to the corn I «at.\u201c If this young holy were not here,\" »ai«l he, \u201c I would kick you out and through the street.\" The old man, frantic with alarm anil vexation.succeeded in parting them, and they sullenly walked \u2022ffin opposite directions.Milly ha«l tied up «tailsin terror.When her father, in deep anger, and with real or feigned suspicion, closely questioned her als>ut the visit of Charles, she could only say that he had < .died to see Mr.Jarvies, upon what business she did not know.In answer to further questioning, she admitted having sometimes met him la-fore when she had visited his sister.The manner in which these questions were pressed too soon brought lier, innocent as she was, to understand that her father suspected there might l»e a clandestine acquaintance between them.Indeed, old Jarvies had formed a plan which, if she could ever have been forced to consent to it.weuld have ensured her lifelong misery.Sir Fitzc Deuce, whose fortune was much embarrassed, had borrowed large sums of Jarvies, aml< having often been at the house, was attracted by the girl\u2019s beauty.The father, observing this, and anticipating that he would la-fore long, as principal creditor, hold the half-ruined Baronet in his power, distegarding the vicious character of the man, and esteeming worldly advancement the sole object of life, thought rank an«l title, with an estate which he could finally clear of encumbrance, would be worth obtaining for his only child.It may therefore he well imagined that, if he had before negle«rhap* have been made upon him.After several weeks, ( '(varies was one day riding through the village, when looking in through a shop-window he caught sight of Jarvies'» head, with his- well-known Q w '\tOF PURE SUGAR.V# LAND O\u2019 CAKES! \u2022' slu furls baked wi' bailer fit' trump that day.''
