CHAPTER XVI.


 Edith LOngWOrth was astonished at herself for giving the address to the young woman, but she gave it, and Lady Slavey departed in peace, saying sy way of farewell: I'm not going to write up your household, after all.'
 When the new offices of the Canadian Mica Mining Company, Limited. were completed, Kenyon took charge of them. He was somewhat overpowered l'y their grandeur, and he thought that unnecessary expense had been incurred n the fittings, but as they were now iu for it, he said nothing, although .hiNcr of fear ran over him when he T ught of the possible failure of his s.i cme, leaving tie rapidly accumu- lltjn@ debt hanging over him. He oc ruDied a desk ill one of the back rooms, lille a clerk in the front office gave away prospcctuses to all who called, ;nquiring public. Most of kenyon's callers were newspaper canvassers who wanted advert tisements, which John ;:> that moment was unable to supply -'.n oily young man, whose cast of coun nance indicated that he belonged to :. shrewd, thrifty and money making zee, said he was commissioned by the Financial I Field to get particulars -.~out the mine, and this information i1enyon readily supplied, feeling glad flat TO advertisement was asked for.
 I.ongworth was seldom ai the new offices. He was busy seeing acquain tanccs who would take stock in the new mining company. He constantly cautioned his partners against being ill !oo much of q hurry, and he amazed Wentworth hy informing him that he had overcome the objections and se- cured the cooperation of Melville, wi no Lad reported so urfavorably about the mineral. thus showing that any thing could be accomplished if you took your time over it. A Mir. King. also connected with the china works, had promised his assistance.
 The first meeting of proposed share holders was set for Monday afternoon, and Longworth expressed his belief that the forming of the company would be accomplished before the week was out.
 One day when Kenyon entered the office the clerk said to him:
 That young gentleman has been aere twice to see you. He said it was very important, sir
 What young gentleman"
 That gentleman-here is his card xho belongs to the Financial Field, sir
 Did he leave any message?"
 "Yes, sir; he said he would call again at three o'clock"
 Very good," said Kenyon, and he be san compiling the address to proposed subscribers.
 At three o'clock the smooth, oily gen ticman from the Financial Field put in an appearance.
 "Ah, Mir. Kenyon" he said, q am glad 70 meet you. I have called twice, but had not the good fortune to find you in ( an I see you in private for moment 3"
 Certainly" answered Kenyon. Come into the directors room," and into the directors room they went kenyon closing the door behind them
 Now, said the representative of the Financial Field, q have brought you a proof of the editorial which we pro- pose using, and which I am desired by the proprietor to show you, so it may be free, if possible, from any error. We are very anxious to have things cor rect in the Financial Field," and with this he handed to John long slip of white paper with column of printed matter upon it.
 The article was headed, "The Cana dian Mica Mining Company, Limited" It went on to show what the mine had been, what it had done, and what chances there were for investors get ting good return for their money by buying shares. John read it through carefully.
 Its very handsome article,'' he said, "and it is without an error, so far as can see."
