CHAPTER V.
Mr. Corvin has been a fortunate man.
8 the world reckons ami yet ho hud
never looked like a happy one. If he
were happy, he was very Mircesuful in
disKUlsiiijt the ordinary external symp
toms of It. To look at him. you wnuM
have said that he was a victim of losses,
disappointments and diseoml'oils.
He was the richest man In town, and
the most powerful; what he said, went,
and what he wanted, rami', l'oople
were In awe of him. and judgiiiK ly
their manner when conversing with
him. vou would have thought they were
devotedly fond of him. Hut if you had
heard them talking nl'out him. when
lie was not present, you would have ie
ronsldered this eoncluslon.
tine misfortune, to he sure, he hail
nirt with: and It comvrned his only son,
l'eter. This young Kentleman had lu'.-n
put In the way of gotting a liberal edu
cation: he had attended the bent school
and the best college; but owing to per
sonal peculiarities of nature and char
acter, he had not aeheived a brilliant
or even creditable record la these places.
He had learnt limv to spend money,
though: but sumo of the things he
bought with it h not been of beiictlt

to him either In health or reputation.
It was surmised that this had led to
UisaKieement between his father and
himself. l'eter had not taken the
paternal remonstrances in good part.
At last things seemed to arrive at a
rort of crisis; and after it had passed
Peter was no longer aji Inmate of his
father's house, nor. It was understood,
the recipient of any income from him.
Nor did Lawyer Corvin encourage any
inquiries about his son on the part of
Inquisitive acquaintances. It was now
three years since he had spoken the
young man's name, and nobody knew
(or cared) what had become of him.
Since Lawyer Corvin had no other liv
ing relatives, it was a matter of specu
lation what he would do with hls prop
erty, when the time came for him to
be gathered to his forefathers In the
better or at all events the other
world. It mu.t have been annoying to
lh:. Corvin to have spent his life in so
'arduously scraping wealth together
only to find, at last, that he could do
nothing better with it than to bestow
It upon some charitable Institution. It
must be painful for one who carefully
ahstained from doing any good in the
world while he lived In It. to be almost
compelled to appear as a benefactor
after his decease. Why does not civili
zation provide openings for posthumous
Investments more adapted to the tem
per and predilection of person's of Law
yer Corvln's kind?
Mr. Morford walked Into the sitting
room, holding Nellie by one hand, and
In the other the folded paper which
they had found In the tree. Mr. Corvin
was standing before the table, with his
hands behind him. staring gloomily at
n. pile of gold eagles and doube-eagl"S
which were heaped up ujon It: and
Nancy was on the opposite side of the
table, with her eyes spnrkllng anil her
cheeks red. holding in her hand. a slip
nf paper, frephly written, and bearing
the appearance of a receipt which in
deed It was.
' "frood, morning, Mr. Corvin." said
Hlorford': "do I Intrude, Miss lilshop?"
"No, Mr. Morford. that you don't! I
was Jest settlln a little account I had
with Mr. Corvin. I was tellln' him I
was sorry I ain't got no bank-notes, but
ef he can't carry It off In his poskets,
I'll have a t.uertry fetched up and send
It down In that:"
"I don'-t understand this," paid Mr.
"orvln. "Vou had no money yesterdny,
find today the house sterns full of gold.
I shall make Investigations. If thin
money was found anywhere In the land
adjoining the house, I shall lodge a
claim to it: the In nil being mine, so Is
the money."
"Land sakes! That can't he right,
can it?" Bald Nancy, appealing to Mor
ford. "Mr. Corvin Is a lawyer," replied the
latter. , "He must know about such
things. Tf ihe owns the land, and you
are buying It of him with money yon
found on the land, he may have the law
fin you. Of course. If he merely held a
mortgage on the property, he has no
more right to make such a demand than
I have."
"This Is none of your affair, sir," said
Corvin, harsililv.
"It's his affair tonnswer a question cf
T ask him. Mr. Corvin." Interposed
Nancy, whose spirit was evidently ris
ing. "Kt It's your affair tb troike out
that's what mine 1y right, ain't mine
hut yours lest because you're a law
yer and I ain't -then I fay It's a poor
Affair for a man to be In! There's your
money, sir, to take or leave; an' I don't
want to hurry you hut . . . "
And she looked at him with the resolu
tion that Is so effective In good and
gentle persons, once they are aroused.
Corvin met the look with a sullen
frown, and begnn putting the gold
Into the pockets of his various gar-

ments, but at this Juncture Morford
said:
"Hold on a moment. Mr. Corvin: I
have something to offer that may
save you trouble In fact, there are
two things; for I knew I should be
likely to mieet you here, so I brought
a letter for you from the postolHce:"
and he took from his pocket a sealed
envelope addressed to Isaac Corvin,
and bearing In the upper left hand
corner the printed name of a New York
hospital. Corvin gUinced at the sub
scription, but did not Immediately
break the peal. "What may your other
matter he, Mr. Morford?" he demanded.
"It I this document." said Morford
referring to the folded paper In his
hind. "While this little girl mid I were
rambling about the place just now. she
found this, and from the glance 1 ven
tured to take at It. I think It contains
matter of Interest 'to both vou and Miss
Millop. Head It. Miss r.illop." he added,
giving It to her. "and see If I am mis
taken." Nancy took the paper, unfolded It,
and begin to read it with a strangely
startled and perplexed expression.
"You take a remarkable Interest In
subjects personal to other people, It
strikes me. sir" said Corvin, still frown
ing. "Well. I like to he of use, when the
chance offers." answered the other with
a smile. "iy the way. Mr. Corvin. you
have possi 'slou of a gre.it deal of farm
Kind hereabout. I think: would you be
lrelined to dispose of It?"
"No. sir in a foot of It," said Cor
vin. curtly.
"I was told that you hold some of It
011 a m titer uncertain tenure." the other
continued: "that ou are liable to be dis
possess d nf It. In certain contingencies.
In f.i"t. If that Is so, it might be worth
your while to tlnd a 'purchaser, even If
he were to ak you to make an abate
ment In the price. In consideration of
the risk he would assume."
"You've b..en misinformed, sir:
what's mine Is mine, and 1 don't Intend
to pnit with i:."
"My information came. to me pretty
straight." re marked Morford. "I was
told you held this land because some
paper showing that It really belonged
to '.mother had been lost."
"If you choose to go about picking up
fouls' gossip. It's no affair of mine,"
t-torted Corvin. angrily.
"Perhaps, since you have no son or
ruber ksnl heir, your Idea Is to leave
this property to the heirs of the person
to whom it Justly belongs? In this case.
I shouldn't press you to sell, though
"Will you mind your own business?"
shouted the old man. quite losing con
trol of his temper. "Who are you. I'd like
to know? You came to me the other
day to work off some of your stock on
me. I'm glad I put off closing with you
till now; I don't believe your stock is
worth the paper It's printed on: I be
lieve your invention is a swindle. As
to my having no fi-lr to. leave my prop
erty to. we'll see about that! I'm not
dead yet. to begin with, nor like to be;
and I've gtt a son. though your In
formant seems to have forgotten to ti ll
you so. Folks may think I've cut him
off with a dollar; may be I did; but I
r an take him back again when I chouse;
and I choose jiow! I shall write to him
by this day's post to come back here nt
once and when he comes, I shall settle
everything I've got on him. I see your
game! You think you can get some
pickings by working up some Idiotic
conspiracy or other with that fool of a
woman, to cheat me or frighten me out
of my property; but you've got hold of
the wrong man. If you don't want to
get Into trouble, and bad trouble, let
me alone!"
"Do you know your son's address.
Mr. Corvin?" asked Morford. very
quietly. "If not, I have reason to think
you may find It In thait letter."
"We'll see how much you know,"
said the lawyer, with a sneer; and he
tore open the envelope anil ran his eyes
over the enclosure. Then his arms fell
heavily to his sides, and his face turned
dingy white.
"Is 'he worse, asked Morford
quickly." -
"Is tie worse?" nikoil Morford, qulck
h'm. "Who are you?" he demanded
after a pause. In a heavy tone. "This
letter says my boy, l'eter. Is dead. Hut

hand. "No. no. iMr. Corvin, he said, not
unkindlv. "I knew your son; I met
him in New York. He fell ill, and as
he wis destitute, I had him taken to the
hfvrpll.il from which that letter came,
where he could get good- nursing. Hut
he was not expf-eted to live. I am sorry
for you."
"Keep yoiir sorrow!" ild Corvin. set

sooner than Nancy Hlllop, or any one
(die's plotting with, shall have as much
of It as would do to bury em!"
Morford yed him rather sternly for
a, moment, and then turned to Nancy.
"What Is your news, MUw Ilillop?" ho
said. "
Hut Nancy hafl hidden her face upon
her arms on the table, and was crying
silently. Hho did not look up, but
pushed the papfr towards Morford.
with her hand. "Read It to him prior
soul!" fihe said,, with a sob between
t'he wnrds. ,
' iMorford took It up, and faced the
lawyer, again. "This paper, iMr. Cor
vin." he nald, "to -In your handwriting,
and 'bears date about ten years back.
It Is signed by you, In presence of two
witnesses. Wt states that In considera
tion of the sum of ten thousand dollars
to you In hand paid, by Matthew Ilil
lop, of Fen brook, you do hereby dee-d
to him. his heirs, and assigns forever,
the certain' tract and parcel of land
herein named and described. You re
member th writing, I presume; at any
rate, If you mil end to deny it or to con
test It, you will 'have the opportunity
when I bring It before the court, on
Mlss BHlop's account, as I shall loaa
no time In doing. Meanwhile. I shall
keep It In charge."
The old lawyer was terrible to look
at while iMorford was shaking thus.
His dry llptu curled back from his yel
low teeth, his tierce, crafty eyes were
concentrated In a stare of mingled hate
and fear, lie leaned forward over the
table, and peered Into IMorford' s face.
"Who ure you?" he asked. In a husky
whisper. "What does all this tom
foolery . mean? Who are you?" ,
"It will soon be known who I am,"
replied the young man; "I came here to
make It known, among other things.
Hut I will tell you mow. I nee you ask
me. that I am Tom Linton."
Corvin nvi a kind of .hoarse cough,
and reeled back. Ills own hands
clutched the table clouh as he fell, and
dragged It down with him. He fell to
the lloor wfth a crash and the Jieop f
gold coins fell clashing and jingling
over him. Some of them rolled away
Into corners, but the bulk of them lay
heavy on his heart, which had ceased
to beat.

WALL STREET REVIEW.
New York. Sept. 26. The stock mar
ket still maintains Its professional
character and it looks very much as If
the activity and advance In cotton and
wheat has diverted the attention to out
siders, at least for the time being, to
these products. Tle recent remarkable
rise In cotton followed up today by a
gain of two cents in wheat, fully ex
plains 'tfne Indifference of the speculat
ing public to the present dull and nar
row stock market.
As a result the market for stocks was
entirely professional. Heports of a
further advance in the price of cosl
started up a livelier business In Head
ing and Jersey Central around mid
day. In the afternoon the- market ills
played weakness on rumors that $1,500.
000 gold would be shipped by Satur
day's steamers. This gave the room
traders a chance to uttaok the list, and
prices re-ceded Vi to 1,'4 per cent. Spec
