 If lad hcgnning prcssagcs good 'nding. tine two amateur company pro notcrs ought to have been well pleased 5nt. such is .e incorsistcncy of human ,ature. they were u~t. Wentworth was the least depressed by the cminous tart, although be admitted that the ptter received from the manager of the hina manufactory asserting tl.at the par shown to him was of no particular Yalue, was d serious setback Kenyon maintained that Melville and Brand, his manager of the works, were either ig norant or falsifiers of fact. The mineral. he insisted, was all that he claimed it 10 Ee. s--as- ----az-'sss ss-,,<S
 ''i hardly see how that helps Us" sad Wentworth. "Thcy cant b. ignorant. for they krow how to make china. while s;e don't. On the other hand why shouii ihry lie to us? What object could they have in not telling the truth?.
 That was q question that John was not prepared to answer, so. being sen ;ible man. he remained silent.
 When he read Edith Longworth's let
 
 due time, William Longwcrth himself wrote. asking for an appointment. say ng he had rcconsidcred the matter, and, if satisfactory arrangements could be made. he would be glad to assist them in forming company.
 When the three young men met ill ,Fentworth's office. Longworth ap- 4, l.l, .lusaStic about the project, but as urcd them that q company could not be -ormcd in inc economical manner they had intended. Much depended on ap- .,earanccs in the city; handsome oi1i- ces would have to be obtained. good firm of solicitors should be chosen and there would be much printing and ad- vertising to be done.
 Kenyon pointed out that all this re- quircd time and money, both of which requisites were short
 We are making strike for 6o,00o each" said Longworth, calmly, focus ing his gIittering monocle on Kenyon That sum of money is not picked up in London every day, and it is never picked up anywhere without taking little risk. If you economize on your sprat you will not catch your gudgeon'
 'l'ut we haven't the money to risk persisted Kenyon.
 "Thcn. my dear sir," said Longworth, ''cease 10 fish for gudgeon, and return to the highly respectable profession of mining engineering. If 1 am going to join you can't afford to go on to cer- tain failure. if you can't pay for the lottery ticket. it is foolish to expect to draw the grand prize; now. isn't it?''
 Wentworth, who knew more of the city and it's ways than his partner did. at once recognized the truth Of Long, worth's theories on the subject. You are quite right, MT. Long, Morth.' he said; land I think that all we need now discuss are the terms of our agreement with each other.'
 ''TheTe will be little difficulty on that ! score" replied Longworth q will take |; third of the risk and a third of the profits, if that is satisfactory to you.'' The agreement was completed on this basis, and Wentworth felt that long step had been taken toward the S5iu NSSHCus DuO Ou WOnutTtd W It their new partner had so suddenly i changed his mind. Offices were taken near the bank. and much time and money were spent in fitting them up. Both Kenyon and Wentworth chafed at the delay, but their partner pointed out that nothing was to be gained by un- due haste. Any attempt to rush things would have bad effect in the city. Capital w;:s timorous, and nothing must be done pfematurely.
 All in all Kenyon and Wentworth re- ceived many excellent business maxims [ from theirnartner, ard it is to be hoped they proiited by them.
 Preparedness were printed. and firm of solicitors was retained: but in spite Of all this 10 real progress was rsas'e toward the formation Of the Canadian i Mica Mining conrany G;mited).
