CHAPTER V.

John Kenyon, deserted by his only
friend on board, made no complaint,
nor did he endeavor to make up for his
loss by finding new acquaintance. lie
was not Il man who formed friendships
readily, but fate was kind to him, and
had already set about adjusting the
balance of profit and loss; moreover
fate, who likes to do things in fitting
manner, used the deserter as an in
strument.
Wentworth's conscience seemed to
be troubling him because he left his
old friend so much alone going east,
whereas they had been constantly
together on the trip westward; there
fore he considered it his duty to make
an apology to Kenyon every morning,
before placing himself for the rest of The
day under the fascinating influence Of
Miss Brewster.
There is nothing you wish to tall,
| asked Wentworth on one of these occa-
sions, looking down at his friend seat
| ed in his deck chair.
Nothing whatever"
Then you don't mind"
Not in the least" interrupted Ken
yon, with a smile.
Il want you to do some energetic
thinking about our mine, you know,
SO that you will be ready to open the
campaign when we reach London.
Thinking which is worth anything is
best done in solitude, Kenyon, so l will
not bother you for all hour or two"
hut
'eply, and Wentworth departed.
The elderly gentleman whose chair
was next to Kenyon's, looked round at
the young man when his friend men,
toned the mine and his name.
Are you Mr.. Kenyon, the mining ex-
pert?" he asked, when Wentworth
walked away.
Il am a mining engineer" answered
Kenyon, with some surprise.
Did you go out to Canada to report
on mines there for the London syndi-
cate?''
"Why do you ask?" said Kenyon, all
his native caution being aroused in a
moment, on hearing the astonishing
question.
The elderly gentleman laughed. "Be-
| cause I am, in measure, responsible
for you," he said. 81 am Mr.. Long
worth-John Longworth, of the city
and a member of the London syndi-
cate. Two names were proposed
Sections and yours. 1 voted for you;

but some of the others seemed very
anxious that Section should go, SO I
thought it best to vote for you. There

partly responsible for your being

with the result, Mr.. Longworth.'

you are cautious man, and those who

to visit the properties, but I was de-
tanned so long in the west that I did
not have time to go north. How did

'Since you complimented me on my
caution, Mr.. Longworth, should be
sorry to forfeit your good opinion by
answering your questions"
"Quite right; quite right" said the
elderly gentleman, laughing again.
'sThat's one for you, and very good
one, too. I must tell that to my daugh-
ter; and here she comes. Edith, my
dear. this is Mr.. Kenyon, who went
