Wentworth laughed. think of d
person buying a mine at an exorbitant
price and not knowing what it pro-
duces! Yes, that is the mineral"
This is not mica, of course?"
No, it Is not mica. That is the stuff
used for the making of china

what are your orders for the rest OF
the barrel?" ~. ~*
What were you thinking of doing
with it?" said the young woman.
swell, 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,"
Il think it is a very good idea.
understand from the cablegram that
Mr.. Kenyon says he will take charge of
the mine temporarily" 49,
Eyes, 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"
Every we'll, then; it seems to me that
the best thing you could do over here
would be to get what orders can be OBJ
tanned in England for the mineral.
Then suppose you could write to Mr..
Kenyon, and ask him to get proper

when he comes over here you AMI
he can have consultation as to the best
thing to be done after that. I~expect
nothing very definite can be done until
ne comes. You may make whatever
excuse you can for the absence of the
mythical Mr.. Smith, and say that you
act for him. Then you may tell Mr..
Kenyon, in whatever manner you
choose, that Mr.. Smith intends both
you and Mr.. Kenyon to share conformity
with him. think you will have no
trouble in making John-that is-in
making Mr.. Kenyon believe there is
such a person as Mr.. Smith, if you put
it strongly enough to him. Make him
understand that Mr.. Smith would never
have heard of the mine unless Mr.. Ken

he is very glad indeed to have such a
good opportunity of investing his
money, so that, naturally, he wishes
those who have been instrumental in
helping him to this investment to share
in its profit. think you could make
all this clear enough, so that your friend
will suspect nothing. Don't you think

Eyes. I don't think there will be
any necessity for doing so, but will
make sure. I imagine John will not

know that he is to have any pecuniary
interest in its prosperity
Very well, then, will bid you good

whenever you hear from Mr.. Kenyon

know"
Certainly. l will let you know
everything that happens. I will send
