This was what had hapâ€" to Squire William Cliefden. father’s one prayer, one sincere lustre, had been that he should win the old lands back again. He had died with such words on his lips; and they had set his son‘s heart on fire. But it was much easier for him to spend than to save.

It mught have been worse «death is worse.” “Worse, Dolores?" he questioned sadly. “Ah, no! Death is much more merciful than poverty and ruin.
