 q would let them sue me if they wanted to do so. Of course, their can vasser called to see you, didn't he, Ken yon?'
 ''Yes, he did,
 ''He told you that he had a certain amount of space to sell for a certain sum in cash?'
 "Yes."
 And, if you did not buy that space, this certain article would appear; whereas, if you did, an article of quite q different complexion would be printed?"
 You seem to know all about it" said Kenyon, suspiciously.
 'Of course, I do, my dear boy. Every body knows all about it. That's the way those papers make their money. think, nyself.as general rule, it is cheaper to fuy them off. I believe my uncle ali ways does that when he has anything special on hand and doesn't want to be bothered with outside issues. But we haven't done so in this instance, and this is the result. It can be easily remedied yet, mind you, if you like. y price, and there will be an equally lengthy article saying that, from out- 'ide information received with regard 10 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. I think it isn't worth while to nave any further dealings with him. Anything he can say now will not matter. He has done all the harm he can. But I would at once put the boot on the other foot. 1 would write down all the circumstances just as they har pened-give the name of the young man who called upon you, tell exact ly the price he demanded for his si- lence, and I will have that printed in an opposition paper tomorrow. Then ii will be our friend, the Financial ield's, turn to squirm. He will say [ is all lie, of course, but nobody will believe him, and we can tell him, from the opposition paper, that if it $ l:e he is perfectly at liberty to sue us for llDcl. AcG Hlul De,Sln luc suit II Ac wants to do so. Let him defend his rep utation. Sue him for libel. I know a i game worth two of that. Could you get out the statement before the meet ing to-night?"
 Kenyon, who had been looking for the first time in his life gratefully at Longworth, said he could.
 Every well; 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 I will take it when I come to the meeting this after noon. It would not be bad plan to read it to those who are here. There is nothing like fighting the devil with fire. Fight paper with another paper !! Nothing new. 1 suppose?"
 "No,' said Kenyon; nothing new except what we are discussing"
 Well, don't let that trouble yo'i Do as I say, and we will begin an inter- esting controversy. People like fight, and it will attract attention to th- mine. Good-by. 1 shah see you this afternoon And with that he was gone, leaving both Kenyon and Went, worth in a much happier frame of mind than that in which he had found them.
 II say, Kenyon" said Wentworth, that fellow is trump. His advice has cleared the air wonderfully. I believe his plan is the best, after all, and, as you say, we have no money for an eN- 1 pensive lawsuit. l will leave you now to get on with your work, and will be l back at three, o'clock
 At that hour John had his statement concluded. T he 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 sent it to the editor of the opposition paper. Wentworth came in next, then
