What are your orders for the rest of

| the barrel?''
 What were you thinking of doing with it?" said the young woman.
 Well, I was thinking the best plan would be to send some of it to each of the pottery works in this country, and get their orders for more of the stuff, If they want to use it.''
 II think it is q very good idea. J understand from the cablegram that Mir. Kenyon says he will take charge Of the mine temporarily.'
 Yes, I imagine he left Ottawa at once, as soon as he had concluded his bargain. Of course, we shall not know for certain until he writes"
 'Nery well, then; it seems to me that the best thing you could do over here would be to get what orders can be ob- tainel in England for the mineral. Then l suppose you could write to Mr. Kenyon, and ask him to get proper i person to operate the minc."
 Yes, I will do that"
 When he comes over here you and he can have consultation as to the best 1 thing to be done after that. l expect nothing very definite can be done until he comes. You may make whatever excuse you can for the absence of the mythical Mir. Smith, and say that you act for him. Then you may tell MT. Kenyon, in whatever manner you :, you and Mir. Kenyon 10 share con jointly with him. l think you win have no trouble in making John-that is-in making NIT. Kenyon believe there is such a person as Mr. Smith, if you put it strongly enough to him. Make him understand that MT. Smith would never i have heard of the mine unless MT. Ken yon and you had discovered it, and that 1 he is very glad indeed to have such a l good opportunity of investing his money, so that, naturally, he wishes ] those who have been instrumental in l helping him to this investment to share { in it's profit. I think you could make all this clear enough, so that your friend will suspect nothing. Don you think i SOP"
 'Wcll, with any other man than John Kenyon I should have my doubts, be- i cause as a fabricator I don't think have q very high reputation, but with 1 John I have no fears whatever. He will believe everything I say. It is almost a pity to cheat so trustfuI a i man, but it's so very much for his own | good that l shall have no hesitation in doing it.''
 "Then you will write to him about 1 getting fit and proper person to man age the mine?"
 "Ycs. I don't think there will be any necessity for doing so, but will make sure. I imagine John will not 1 leave there until he secs everything to i his satisfaction. He will be very anX- i ious indeed for the mine to prove as great q success as he believes it will be, even though at present he does not know that he is to have any pecuniary interest in it's prosperity"
 every well. then, I will bid you good 1 by. l may not be here again, but whenever you hear from MT. Kenyon shall be very glad if you will let me know"
 Certainly. I will let you know everything that happens. 1 will send you all the documents in the case, as l y to see the original papers, don't you?'
 "Yes, I suppose I do." Miss Long, worth fingered a moment at the door then, looking straight at Wentworth, sine said to him:
 You remember you spoke rather bitterly to my father the other day?''
 "Ycs," said Wentworth, coloring, q remember it."
 'You are a young man; he is old. Besides, think you were entirely in the wrong. He had nothing what ever to do with what his nephew had donc."
 'Oh, know that,'' said Wentworth, q would have apologized to him long ago-only-well, you know, he told me 1 shouldn't be allowed in the office again. and I don't suppose should"
 "A letter from you would be allowed in the office," replied the young lady, looking at the floor.
 "Of course it would," said George Il will write to him at once and apoio- gize."
 ''It is very good of you said Edith, holding out her hand to him, and the next moment she was gone.
 George Wentworth turned to his desk and wrote letter of apology. Thrn lie unused to himself upon the strange, incomprehensible nature of women. 'She makes me apologize to him, and quite right, too, but if it hadn't been for the row with her father, she never would have heard about the transac- tion, and therefore couldn't have bought the mine, which she was anxious to do for Kenyon's sake-lucky beggar John is, after all!'
