CHAPTER Xxx.

Although the steamship that took Kenyon
to America was one OF the epeediest in the
Atlantic service, yet the voyage was mex
pressivciy dreary to him. He spent most
of his time walking up and doEn The Geek
thinking about the other voyage OF u few
months bcf ore. The one consolation
of his present trip was its quickBess.
When he arrived at his hotel In New Yerk
he asked if there was any message there
FOR him and the clerk handed rim an en-
yelope, which he tore open. 1t was cable
dispatch from Wentworth. with the words
"LoDgw or;h at Windsor. Proceed TO
Ottawa Immediately. Get option renewed.

John Knitted his brows and wondered
where Windsor was. The clerk seeing
his perplexi;y, asked If he could be of any
assistance

quite understand it. Where is Windsor?''
"Oh. that means the Windsor Hotel, just
up the street."
Kenyon registered, and told the clerk to
assign him room and send his baggage up
TO 1t when it cane. Then he walked out
from the hotel and sought the Windsor.
He found that colossal hoste,ry. and
was just inqairing of the clerk whether a
Mr. Long worth was staying there when
that gentleman appeared at the desk and
took some letters and hiskey.

Young LonSworth turned round with
more alacrity than he usually displayed, and
gave a long whistle of surprise when he
saw who ii wsts..
In the name of All the gods" he cried,
'wifat are you doing here?" Then before
Kenyon could reply, he said, "eome up to
my room-"
They went to the elevator. rose few
stories, and passed down an apparently end
less hall. ClrDptad with M Safa cSr,fS
that gave no echo OF the football. Long
worth put his key into the door and opened
1t. They entered a large and pIcasan mt room.
Well" he said, "this is a surprise. What
is the reason of your being here? Anything
wrong In London"
Nothing wrong so far as am aware.
We received no cablegram from YOU and
thought there might be some hitch In the
business; therefore. / came"
"Ah, / see. Icabled over to your address
and said was ying at the Windsor for
few days. 1 sent cab'egram almost as
long as letter, but it didn't appear to do
aUy good
mo; 1 did not receive it,"
''And what did you expect was wrong
over here?''
THAT did not know. Ikncw you had
time TO get to ottawa and see the mine
In twelve days from London. Not hear
ing from you in that time, and knowing the
option was running out, both Went worth
and became anxious, and SO came over''
Exactly. Well. I'm afraid you've had
your trip for nothing
''What do you mean? Is not the mine
all said il was?"
"Oh, the mine is all right; all meant
was. there was really no necessity for
your comipg.'
But. you know, the option ends in a
very short time.'
well, the option, like the mine, is
all right. 1 think you might quite safely
have left it iD my hands"
1t must be admitted that John Kenyon
began to feel that he had acted with un-
reasonable rashness in taking his long trip.
"Is Mr.. Melville here with your"
''Mr. Melville has returned home He
had not time to stay longer. All he want
ed to do was to satisfy himself about the
mine. He was satisfied, and he has gone
home. II you were in London now you
would be able to see him."
ibid you meet Mr. on Brcnt?"
"Yes; he took US to the mine.''
"ADd did You say anything about the
option to him?"
well, we had some conversation about
1t. There will be no. trouble about the
