sent it 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
Financial Field. Mr.. Kenyon has writ
ten statement in relation to that which
gives the full particulars of the inside
of very disreputable piece of business,
1t was merely an attempt at black
mailing which failed. l intended to
have had the statement read to you,
but we thought it best to get it off as
quickly as possible, and it will appear
tomorrow in the Financial Eagle,
where, l hope, you will read it. Now,
Mr.. Kenyon, perhaps you will tell us
something about the mine"
Kenyon, like many men of worth and
not of words, was very poor speaker.
He seemed confused, and was often Il lit
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 it was Mr.. King who spoke.
"As l take It," he said, "all we wish
to know is this: Is the mine what it
is represented to be? Is the mineral
the best for the use Mr.. Kenyon has in.
dicated? Is there sufficient guam
tity of that mineral in the mountain he
speaks of to make it worth while to
organize this company? 1t seems to
me that this can only be answered by
some practical man going out there
and seeing the mine for himself. Mr..
Melville is, / understand, practical
man. II he has the time to spare, l
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
and reported on the mine could cable
tile word right" or wrong" then
there would be time to act in London
in getting up the list of subscribers.
II suppose" said another, that in
case of delay there would be no trouble

remedied yet, mind you, if you like.
All that you have to do is to pay his
price, and there will be an equally
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 ed
itorial, / think it isn't worth while to
have any further dealings with him.
Anything he can say now will not
matter. He has done all the harm he
can. But l would at once put the boot
on the other foot. would write down
all the circumstances just as they hap
pened-give the name of the young
man who called upon you, tell exact
ly the price he demanded for his si-
lence, and / will have that printed in
an opposition paper tomorrow. Then
ii will be our friend, the Financial
Fields, turn to squirm! He will say
it is all lie, of course, but nobody will
believe him, and we can tell him, from
the opposition paper, that if it is lie
he is perfectly at liberty to sue us for
libel. Let him begin the suit if he
wants to do so. Let him defend his rep.
utation. Sue him for libel! know a
game worth two of that. Could you
get out the statement before the meet
ing tonight"
Kenyon, who had been looking for
the first time in his life gratefully at
Longworth, said he could.
every we'll; just set it down in your
own words as plainly as possible, and
give date, hour and full particulars.
Sign your name to it, and 1 will take it
when l come to the meeting this after
noon. 1t would not be bad plan to
read it to those who are here. There
is nothing like fighting the devil with
fire. Fight a paper with another paper!
Nothing new, l suppose"
NO" said Kenyon; nothing new
except what we are discussing"
"Well, don't let that trouble yon-
Do as say, and we will begin an inter-
esting controversy. People like fight,
and it will attract attention to th-
mine. Good-by. shall see you this
afternoon" And with that he was
gone, leaving both Kenyon and Went
worth in much happier frame of mind
than that in which he had found them.
II say, Kenyon" said Wentworth,
"that fellow is a trump. His advice has
cleared the air wonderfully. believe
his plan is the best, after all, and, as
you say, we have no money for an ex-
pensive lawsuit. I will leave you now
to get on with your work, and will be
back at three o'clock"
At that hour John had his statement
concluded. The first man in was Long
worth, who read it with approval, mere.
ly suggesting change here and there,
which was duly made. Then he put the
communication into an envelope and

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 question of the amount of
the mineral in sight, and he thought he
could determine that as well as any.

to be settled, when young Longworth
rose, and said that he was perfectly

he would pay all his own expenses, and

CHAPTER XVII

When John Kenyon enterd his Office
it seemed to him that his clerk looked
at him askance. He imagined that
innocent gentleman had been reading
the article in the Financial Field, bus
the truth is John was hardly in frame
of mind to form correct opinion on
what other people had been doing.
Everybody he met in the street, it
seemed to him, was discussing the
article in the Financial Field.
He asked if 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 a 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
haggard and aged.
"Ah! l see you have read it."
"Yes."
DO you think Longworth is at the
bottom of that article?"
John shook his head. "0h, mol" he
said; ''he had nothing whatever to do
with it,"
"How do you know?"
Kenyon related exactly what had
passed between the oily young man of
tho Financial Field and himself in that
very room. While this recital was 60
ing on Wentworth walked up and
down, expressing his opinion now and
then in remarks that were short and
pfthy, but hardly fit for publication.

CHAPTER RXVI.-CoNTINUED.
On Monday morning as he came in by
train, his eye caught flaming poster
on one of the bill boards at the station.
1t was headed Financial Field, and the
next line, in heavy black letters, was
"The Mica Mining Swindle." Kenyon
called a newsboy to him and bought a
copy of the 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 it 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 a good deal of
money in the mine, and that it had
never paid penny of dividends-that
they merely kept on the mine at a con-
stant 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. 1t was shock for which he was
not prepared, as he had not noticed il
in the proof. Then he read on. II
seemed that this man, Kenyon, had Sc.
cured the mine at something like C TO-.
900, and was trying to shove it off on
the unfortunate British public at the
enormous increase of 100000; 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 sci
forth.
The article possessed singular fas'
cination for Kenyon. He read and re-
read it in dazed way as if the state.
ment referred to some other person
and he could not help feeling sorry fol
that person.
He still had the paper in his hand as
he walked up the street, and he fell
numbed and dazed as if some one had
struck him blow. He was nearly run
over in crossing one of the thorough
fares, and heard an outburst of pro
family directed at him from a cal
driver and man on a bus; but he
needed them not, walking through the
crowd like one under spell.
He passed the door of his own gor
geous office and walked a 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:
II wonder if Edith Longworth viii
read that article" he-said to himself.

Four Minutes
Of Your Time,

While we tell you about our "Gol-
den Fleece" tea. The tea you drink
should be
l. Pure.
2. Wholesome.
8. Pleasant.
4. Economical,
and "Golden Fleece" justly claims pre-
eminence on these grounds.
The manipulation of tea is an art in
which the Chinaman excels, and in
many of the inferior kinds the quality
is infinitely deteriorated thus:
"The dust of the leaf is mixed with
clay and manipulated into the form of
the orninary leaf" This with the ap-
propiate term 'lie" tea.
"Tea leaves which have already
been used are again manipulated and
rolled into shape.and sold as genuine
tea."
In buying and drinking Golden
Fleece" tea you get perfection being
the result of civilized labor and intel
ligence.
Golden fleece" is undoubtly the
best soc tea in the market today. Are
you usingit? If not, try it the first
opportunity.
"Golden Fleece" is making friends
wherever it goes, and it is going into
new homes every day.
"Golden Fleece" will take the place
of any Japan tea you ever drank, no
matter what the price you have been
paying.
Golden Fleece" once tried, always
used.
We shall be glad to give you sample
of "Golden Fleece" feeling sure that
if you try it you will use no other. We
want this name "Golden Fleece" to
run in your mind from now until you
want tea again. so you will ask for
"Golden Fleece" Think of it when
you are sleeping tea, think of it when
you are pouring tea, think of it when
drinking tea, think of it when you
start to buy more tea, keep thinking
about it until you reach Bowlby &
Halls store, where you will find Gold
en- Fleece"
Yours truly,

WHILE WE SLEEP.

While we sleep Gods silence holds
Earth and us within Its folds.
Clasps us close, and bids US rest
Safe and sweet upon its breast.
While we sleep all life moves on,
Silent forces-one by one.
In our chamber, through the hours,
Keeping time to times own powers,
Rhythmic in it's tock-tick-tock
Speaks our faithful friend, the clock;
Counts the minutes on their way
Till the dawning of the day.
While we sleep the iron horse
Girdles earth with winged force,
While 1t carries us afar,
Safe within its palace car.
While we sleep stars in the sky
Keep their vigils up on high.
Jeweled lights resplendent shine,
Crowning darkness as divine,
Watching earth, we love to feel,
Guarding us with ceaseless zeal.
Tempests come and tempests go
While we sleep, nor do we know
OF their battles. or the cause,
Or the potencies and laws
That surround us while we sleep,
Rocked in silence, still and deep.
We may rest upon that will
Saying to US: peace be STILL"
We may rest and we may wait
While for US sleeps open cato
Bids us enter and be blessed
With a courage new possessed
With more strength for duties near,
When new duties shall appear.
Sacred night, we welcome thee,
While we sleep so silently!
