good deal on the reports that these two
men have in their possession. The re-
ports, when published, will make big
difference, one way or the other, on the
stock exchange. Iwant to have the gist
of these reports before the London syn
dicate sees them. 1t will be a big thing
for the Argus if it is the first in the
field, and am willing to spend pile
of hard cash to succeed. So don't econ

Canadian mines?"
II don't know that VIC have, but there
is book here the Mining Resources
of Canada;' will. that be Of any use?"
II shall need something of that sort.
I want to be little familiar with the
subject, you know"
"Quite So" said the editor, 81 will see
what can be got in that line. You can
read it before you start and on the way

"AIl right" said Miss Jennie; ''and am
l to take the pick of the two young
men?"
Certainly" answered the editor.
"You will see them both, and can easily
make up your mind which will the
sooner fall victim"
"'rhe Coloric sails in week, docs it?"
"Yes."
'Then I shall need at lenst $500 to get
new dresses with"
"Good gracious!" cried the editor.
There is no good gracious about it.
I'm going to travel as n millionaire's
daughter, and it isn't likely that one or
two dresses will do me oil the way over"
"But you can't get new dresses made
in week" said the editor.
Cant I? Well, you just get me the
$500 and III see about the making"
The editor jotted the amount down.
"You don't think 500 would do?" he
said.
"No, don't. And say, am to get
trip to Paris after this is over, or must
come directly back?"
''Oh, guess we can throw in the trip
to Paris" said the editor.
"What did you sny the names Of the
young men are? Or are they young?
Probably they are old fogies. II they are
in the mining business"
"No; they are young, they are shrewd,
md they are English. So, you sec. your
work is cut out for you. Their names
are George Wentworth and John Ken
yon."
''Oh, Wentworth is my man." said the
young woman, breezily. John Ken
yon! l know just what sort Of per-

too much like John Bunyan, or John

when shall call for the $5OO?"
'OI, that you needn't trouble about.
The better way is to get your dresses
made. and tell the people to send the

"very WELL" said the young woman.
81 shall be ready. Don't be frightened
at the bills when they come in. II they

The editor looked at her q moment,
and seemed to reflect that perhaps II

Miss Jennie took the paper when II
was offered to her, and disappeared.
When she presented the order in the
business Office the cashier raised his
eyebrows as he noticed the amount,

CHAPTER II.
The last bell had rung. Those who
were going ashore had taken their de-
parture. Crowds of human beings clus-
tered on the pier head and Mt the large
doorways Of the warehouse which stood
open on the steamer wharf. Az the
big ship slowly backed out there was
n fiuttering of bandkerchiefs from the
mass on the pier, and an answering
fiutter from those who crowded along
the bulwarks OF the steamer. The tug
slowly pulled the prov of the vessel
around, and at last the engines Of the
steamship began their pulsating throbe
-throbs that would vibrate night and
day until the steamer reached an older
world. The crowd on the pier became
more and more intiistinct TO those on
board. and many Of the passengers
went below. for the air was bitterly
cold, ard the boat was forcing its wsy
down the bay smong huge blocks Of
ice.
Two, at least, Of the passengers had
taken little interest In the departure.
They were leaving no friends behind
them, and were both setting their seces
toward friends aa home.
