"You are going to have difficulty meeting your July notes, as it is." Heinzman hardly seemed to breathe, but a flicker of red blazed in his eye. "Proceed," he repeated non-committally, after a moment. "I intend," went on Newmark, "to furnish this money myself. It must, however, seem to be loaned by another. I want you to lend this money on mortgage." "What for?" asked Heinzman.

Martin Harris furnished the funds for printing the book by a mortgage of three thousand dollars on his farm. He celebrated the completion of the work by inviting all the printers to his house. Mrs. Harris brought his guests within the door as Van Camp relates it and introduced them to his wife, who bowed coldly and took no pains to welcome them.

"But will you let him have the money to pay these creditors?" "That is what I want to speak about. If I can see the list of the sums to be paid, and if you can assure yourself that by paying them I shall get back all the post-obit bonds which Mountjoy has given, and that the money can be at once raised upon a joint mortgage, to be executed by me and Augustus, I will do it.

"Solomon, are you goin' to renew that mortgage when it comes due?" Mr. Cobb pulled his whiskers. "I don't know's I am and I don't know's I ain't," he said.

He said he had a mortgage on his farm and wanted to borrow $200. I lent him the money and he went away. Some time afterward he returned with more tears. He said he must leave me forever. I ventured to remind him of the $200 he borrowed. He was much cut up. I thought I would not be hard upon him so told him I would throw off $100.

"This is a conspiracy to prevent my foreclosing the mortgage. But it won't work," said the squire angrily. "There you are mistaken.

In a space railed off from the cashier's grille in the little building next door they sat down. The teller was visible in the cage, where now he appeared very busy though he had undoubtedly been drowsing when they entered. "So you've bought the Stevenson ranch," Menocal said. "Yes. I've just had the deed recorded." "The mortgage is due in a few days; I told him it wouldn't be renewed by me."

"You're after money," the tall, lank neighbor said. "I'll tell you how we can make some make a lot." "Well?" said Lopez, still far from convinced, and taking things easily. Hardy spoke more rapidly. "If the mortgage I hold on this property isn't paid by eight o'clock to-night, it becomes mine. Keep that paper here until eight o'clock, and I'll give you ten thousand dollars!"

He seems to do it as a great favour to me to offer to come in upon a way of getting of money, which they call Bottomry, A contract in the nature of a mortgage of a ship, when the owner of it borrows money to enable him to carry on the voyage, and pledges the keel or bottom of the ship as a security for the repayment.

But it's curious, isn't it, that I've got twenty-five hundred dollars from Cousin Angeline's estate not even earning four per cent?" I got out grimly and jerked at my bonnet-strings. "You put it in a mortgage, Tish," I advised her with severity in every tone. "It may not be so fast as an automobile race or so likely to turn turtle or break its steering-knuckle, but it's safe."
