sent IL TO the editor of the opposition
paper. Wentworth came in next, then
Melville, then Mr.. King. After this
they all adjourned to the directors
room, and in few minutes the others
were present.
"Now," said Longworth, "as we are
all here, / do not see any necessity for
delay. You have probably read the
article that appeared in this mornings

ten a statement in relation to that which
gives the full particulars of the inside

Mr.. Kenyon, perhaps you will tell us
something about the NINE"
Kenyon, like many men OF worth and
not OF words, was a very poor speaker.
He seemed confused, and was often a lie
tie obscure In his remarks, but he was
listened TO with great attention by those
present. He was helped here and there
by judicious question from young
Longworth, and when he sat down the
impression was not so bad as might
have been expected. After moments
silence IL was Mr.. King who spoke.
AS take it," he said, call we wish
TO know is this: Is the mine what IL
is represented TO be? Is the mineral
the best for the use Mr.. Kenyon has in
dicated2 Is there sufficient guam
tity OF that mineral in the mountain he
speaks OF 10 make Il worth while 20
organize this company? IL seems 10
me that this can only be answered by
some practical man going out there
and seeing the mine for himself. Mr..
Melville is, l understand, a practical
man. III he has the time to spare, /
would propose that he should go TO
America, see this mine and report"
Another person asked when the option
on the the mine ran out. This was
answered by young Longworth. who
said that the person who went over

Emotions Which Young Father Fecll

Emotions Which a Young Father Feels
When He Trundles the Baby.
IL is always a little amusing TO see
a young father fare forth with baby
his baby--in his arms for the first
time. 1t Is no use for him to try to
appear unconscious to everybody that
it is his first appearance in public in
the role OF father.
His awkwardness is manifest, but his
pride is also in evidence, and the two
form combination OF which no young
father need to be ashamed. There are
some men and some women who are
sentimental enough to have their hearts
quite touched by the very sight of
young couple overlooking with tender
ness and pride and solicitude over their
first born. Those to whom this not
uncommon spectacle appeals are apt to
be middle-aged or elderly men and
women, whose own youth has long been
only memory. But If they have lived
honestly and truly it is pleasant mem
DRY, and the sight Of n young couple and
their first baby gives rise TO some of
the sweetest memories of their lives.
They recall the time when life was
all hopes and all harmonies to them, and
the coming of their first little one gave
them new hopes and sweeter harmonies.
The little one is n man now, perhaps,
with children Of his own, but you can
remember just how he looked in his
swaddling clothes, and just how you
felt when you first appeared in public
with him in your arms. You don't
talk much about IL now, because you
don't want to be thought "silly" or
sentimental" but il you are the man
or the woman you ought to be you will
have taught your children that God can
give them no higher proof of His favor
than TO give them little ones Of their
ovn.-Detroit Free Press

two?"
To this Kenyon replied that he did
not know. The owners might put .
higher price on the property, or the
mine might be producing more mica
than IL had been heretofore. and they
perhaps might not be inclined to SELL
lie thought that things should be ar
ranged so that there would be no ne
cessity of asking for an extension
OF the option, and to this they all
agreed.
Melville then said he had no objcc-
ton to taking trip to Canada Itwas
merely a question of the amount OF
the mineral in sight, and he thought he
could determine that as well as any
body else. And so the matter was about
to be settled. when young Longworth
rose, and said that he was perfectly
willing to go TO Canada himself. in
company with Mr.. Melville, and that
he would pay all his own expenses, and
give them the benefit of his opinion as
well. This was received with applause,
and the meeting terminated. Long
worth shook hands with Kenyon and
Wentworth.
I'VE will sail by the first steamer"
he said, land, as / may not see you
again, you might write me letter of
introduction to Mr.. Won Brent, and tell
him that l am acting for you in this
affair. That will make matters smooth
in getting the extension of the option,
il il should be necessary"

All that you have to do 10 70 pay his

lengthy article saying that, from OUT
side information received with regard
to the Canadian Mining company, he
regrets very much that the former
article was an entire mistake, and that
there Is no more secure investment In
England than this particular mine. But
now. when he has come out with his cd
itorial, think IL isn't worth while TO
have any further dealings with him.
Anything he can say now will not

CHAPIEi ANl.-CONTINUED
On Monday morning as he came in by
train, his eye caught flaming poster
on one of the bill boards at the station.
II was headed Financial Field, and the
next line, in heavy black letters, was
"The Mica Mining Swindle." Kenyon
called newsboy to him and bought a
copy OF tho paper. There, in loaded
type, was the article before him. 1t
seemed, somehow, much more impor-
tant on the printed page than it had
looked on the proof.
AS he read il he noticed an air of
truthful sincerity about the article
that had escaped him during the brief
glance he had given it on Friday. 1t
went on to say that the Austrian Min
ing company had sunk good deal of
money in the mine, and that il had
never paid a penny OF diyidends-rthat
they merely kept on the mine at a con-
slant loss to themselves in the hope of
being able TO swindle some confiding
investors-but that even their designs
were as nothing compared to the bare
faced attempt at swindling contem-
plated by John Kenyon. He caught
his breath as he saw his own name in
print II was shock for which he was
not prepared, rs he had not noticed IL
in the proof. Then he read on. 1t
seemed that this man, Kenyon, had Sc
cured the mine at something like 6 TO-
900. and was trying TO shove il off on
The unfortunate British public at the
enormous increase of zoe, 1000; but this
nefarious attempt would doubtless be
frustrated so long as there were papers
of the integrity OF the Financial Field
that took the risk and expense of max
ing such an exposure as was here set
forth.
The article possessed a singular fas-
cination for Kenyon. He read and re-
read II in n dazed way as If the state
ment referred TO some other person,
and he could not help feeling sorry for
that person.
He still had the paper in his hand rs
he walked up the street, and he felt
numbed and dazed as IL some one had
struck him n blow. He was nearly run

lie passed the door Of his own gor-
geous Office and walked considerable
distance up the street before he real
lied what he had done. Then he turned
back again, and, just at the doorstep,
paused with a pang at his heart;
IT wonder II Edith Longworth will
read that article" he said to himself.

Adulteratod Article.
In communication recently received
from the British board of agriculture
by Acting Secretary Of Agriculture
Dabney, a return is made of samples Of
imported butter analysed under the di-
rection of the board from May, 1895, to
February, 1896, inclusive. The total
number OF samples so analysed was o95,
representing the products of IL diff
ferent countries. The countries in
whose products adulterated specimens
were found are as follows: Belgium,
samples, / adulterated; Denmark
1s2 samples, adulterated; Germany,
154 samples, 43 adulterated; Holland.
$50 samples, &C ndulterated; Norway
and Sweden, 100 samples, adulterated;
Russia, 40 samples, adulterated.
The countries contributing samples
among which no adulterated specimens
were found are: Argentina, 4 samples;
Austria, 81; Canada, 30; France. co;
New Zealand, 81; United States, GO.
In regard to the adulterated products
the noteworthy points are the tre-
mendous proportion of specimens, over
"a per cent. from Germany; the largo
proportion, numbering over 25 per cent,
contributed from Holland, and the fact
that Denmark, by far the largest con-
tributor OF foreign butter products to
the British market. and enjoying
hitherto an almost irreproachable repu-
tation in the butter market, should
have contributed on total of 1872 spec
linens, adulterated, or nearly per
cent. In regard TO the other countries
the presence of the Argentina in the
English butter market. even though no
doubt to n limited extent, is worthy of
note.-ChicnQo Inter Ocean.

cUApTER XVII.

When John Kenyon enterd his Office
IL seemed TO him that his clerk looked
ut him asl0ance. He imagined that
innocent gentleman had been reading
the article in the Financial Field, bug
the truth is John was hardly in frame
of mind TO form n correct opinion on
what other people had been doing.
Everybody he met in the street, IL
seemed to him. was discussing the
article In the Financial Field.
He asked IL anybody had been in that
morning, and was told that there had
been no callers. Then he passed into
the directors room, closed the door be-
hind him, sat down on n chair and
leaned his head on his hands with his
elbows on the table. In this position
Wentworth found him some time later,
and when John looked up his face was
