Kenyon was on his way to lunch next
day when he met Wentworth at the
door.
Going to eat ?" asked the latter

couldn't stay last night to have a talk
with you over the meeting; but what
did you think Of it?'
''Well, considering the articles which
appeared in the morning, and consid-
.ering also the exhibition made of my
self in attempting to explain the merits

about it. You see, I have attended a.
great many gatherings of this sort, and
it struck me there was certain cut-and-
driedness about the meeting. / can't
say whether it impressed me fayorably
or unfavorably, but noticed it,"
''I still don't understand what you

of the option. Don't you see that when
they get over there, allowing them few
days in New York, and a day or two to
get out to the mine, we shall have little
more than a week after the cable dis
