 Sir Henry Bessemer suggests the substi- | tuition of aluminium tokens for bank notes of small denominations. He says that with the recent progress in the science of metallurgy these tokens could be made in fashion that would set all the arts of foreers at defiance. In this respect he may be over-sanguine, but he has other arguments in favor of his plan. The chief of these are that the aluminium plate oI coin would be agreeable to look at, clean to handle, and so light that it could no, by any chance be mistaken for silver.

eat a steak from one of these steers, so

the Indians were allowed to brand them

branding was done in most brutal
fashion, the irons often being thrust

slaughter. The crest of the bluff was

went out, shutting the door behind him

his way round to the back door and

meal pa ssed in silence-neither of the

Dick, sullenly, as he rose from the
table and proceeded to draw on his over
coat. The next minute he was out in

down the drifted lane. A great lump
seemed to rise in Ruby's throat, almost
choking her. They had never before
parted in anger, and it almost broke
her heart to see Dick go away in that
spirit. She ran to the front door. in
tending to call him back and ask him
to forgive her, but he was far down

strides-never once turning his head in
