q am glad you think so," replied the

''i am glad you think so, rephed the young gentleman, fielding up the proof and putting it in his inside pocket. "Now, as I said before, although am net the advertising canvasser of the Financial Field, I thought I would see you with reference to an advertise ment for the paper
 Well, you sec we have not had meeting of the proposed stockholders yet and we are not in position to give any advertisements about the mine. l have no doubt advertisements will be given, and, of course, your paper will be remembered among the resi- "Ah!" said the young man, "that is hardly satisfactory to us. We have vacant half page for Monday-the very best position in the paper-which the proprietor thought you would like to secure.'
 ''As i said q moment ago. we are not ! in ;i position to secure it. It is prema [ ture 10 tal,s cf advertising at the pres eEt s,atc e. ;..lairs-
 Ii think you know it will le to your interest to t;.l-c tie half page. The price is geo. ;Hd besides that amount we should like to have some shares ill the company"
 Do you mean for one insertion of the advertisement?
 Yes, that is what I mean"
 Don't that strike you as being a trihe eXorbitant? Your paper has a comparatively limited circulation, and i they do not ask us anything like that | +I, 1.,r ,l.,,I
 'Ah. my dear sir, the large dailies are quite different. They have tre- mendous circulation, it is true, but it i is not the kind of circulation we have No other paFcr circulates so largely among investors as the Financial i Field. It is read by exactly the kind of people you desire to reach, and 1 may say that, except through the Field, you cannot get at some of the best men in the city.

 Then l am very sorry to say that we cannot on Monday publish the article I have shown you.''
 'Very well, I cannot help it. You are not compelled to print it unless you wish. ] am not sure, either, that pub ! fishing the article would do us any good. It would be premature, as l say. We are not yet ready to court publicity until we have had our first meeting of proposed stockholders"

 Very well, we could put that an nouncemcnt in another column, and I am sure you would find the attendance at your meeting would be very largely and substantially increased"
 Possibly, but l decline to do any thing till afte~ the meeting"
 II think you would find it would pay you extremely well to take that half page"
 Il am not questioning that fact at all. l am merely saying what l have said to everyone else, that we are not ready to consider advertising"
 T am sorry we cannot come to an ar rangement, Mir. Kenyon, very sorry in deed." and saying this, he took another
 
 handed to Kenyon. If we cannot come to an understanding, the manager has determined to print this, instead of the article 1 showed you. Would you kindly glance it over, because we would like to have it as correct as possible.
 Kenyon opened his eyes and unfolded i tl.c paper. The heading was the same. Eut he had read only q sentence or two when he found that the mica mine was one of the greatest swiHdles ever attempted on FOOT old innocent finan- c:al LoEdor.
 ")o you mean to say, cried John, looking up at him with his anger kind ling. that if 1 do not bribe you to the extent Of [ 3Cn, lesides giving you an unknown quantity of stock. you will publish this libti?'
 T do not say it is libel" said the yoang man smoothly; that would be
