EXCEPTIONAL SUCCESS.
Achieved by tho Penn Mutual Life In
snrance Company During the Past Year.

A noteworthy example of what can be
accom- plished by careful and intelligent
business management is afforded by the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company,as
set forth in its fifty-tourth annual report.
The past year was the most successful IN
the history of the company, and the IN
crease in the volume Of business Is truly
phenominal. The assets on January |,
1902, were $48,979,O2l .54, being larger by
4,7SO,S72.45 than those OF the previous
wear. The reserve fund at 81 and per
cent to re-insure risks was Increased Dy
81 3cc5. .O45 and now amounts to $42, lo4,-
6O7. During 1901, the premiums and an
nuties received were 1862, ,9O2. 30, interest
receipt, etc. $2,35O,23 .O9, dividends to
policy holders, $625,223.54, to which
should be added 1892, ,73O.42 allotted to
deferred dividend policies, making the
total apportionment of surplus during the
year ST ,O17, 1858 90. Losses paid, $2,75o.-
Isl. .25, matured endowment and annui-
ties. $9Il, l,O7S75. There were issued 26,-
249 policies, insuring $62, ,453,057, against
l9.309 policies insurng $52,232, $40 IN
1900. The total number OF policies In
force is 99,OS3, insuring $242,O5l ,662.
Since the organization Of the company
there has been paid to policy holders the
enormous sum of $62,S27, ,323.74, tact
which of itself affords indisputable evi-
dence of the company's financial strength.
The Penn Mutual is now 80 firmly estab,
lished in public confidence that it would
be impossible to predict that measure OF
success the future has in store, but 1t is
safe to assume that it will be greater than
ever. The business in this State is very
large and this is to a great extent due 10
Messrs Bourne IL Durham, general mana

assurance. If he could gain his own
consent to let the past lie buried i'll
oblivion, the vista of the future
barriers to happiness brushed aside.
And yet, try as he might to resolve
to hold his peace touching the past,
he could not bring himself to the
point of taking her conscience un-
awares. He was far enough from
realizing. that his own conscience was
interposing this obstacle. He
thought, when he allowed himself to
think in that direction, that he had
settled the conscientious scruples for
himself once and for all. Neverthe-
less, there had been moments, brief,
feeting moments, for the most part,
when he would have given the rever-
sion of years of life to be as he had
been before the pistol-drawing Incl
dent in Andrew Galbraith's private
Office. But these little upfashes of
remorse had been but match flares,
going out in a sudden Whit of the
wind of fnality. For the thing was
done irrevocably and could never be
undone!
In the aimless detour which led
him from street to street and finally
into a road that brought him out
upon the lake front far from town,
these things all came up for a. hear
ing, and he gave them room patient
ly, as a judge hears plea that he
knows well he must disregard. The
storm was over, and the sun was set
ting in all the glory of the broken
cloud rack in the west. Griswold had
the artists eye for natures grand
eur, and at another time the sunset
would have held him spellbound! But
now he. plodded along with hands
behind him and his head down, seeing
nothing but the all too clear vista of
the past, and that other vista of the
future which had but now become a
valley of shadows. ....z. s..- g.
So plodding along the lake drive,
he came at length to the boundaries
Of Jasper Grierson's domain, and al
most before he knew it, he was climb
ing the path to Mereside. At the
very veranda steps he came alive to
some sense Of what he was about to
do, and would have stopped to weigh
the consequencestoS turn back, It
may be. But trim little figure
slipped from hammock at the cor
her Of the veranda and Margery came
to meet him. .sy: i .&:H * $.L VI

JAPAN'S NAVY. NOW LARGE,

Remarkable Increase in Ships and.

In three and half years Japan
had added to it's merchant navy 900

1896 the country possessed only q.
single steamship over 5000 tons: it.
has now twenty-one of this class.
In1696 Japan owned GIT steamships.
representing 429,774 tonnage, and 174
sailing vessels, Of 24,104 tonnage; in
1899, 679 steamships Of 407,534 tom

710 tonnage; in 1900 753 steamships
of 498,375 tonnage, and 2,7S3 sailing
vessels Of 270,161 tonnage; in 1901.
S42 steamships of 537,166 tonnage, and
3.416 sailing vessels of 315,767 ton
mage.
The number of sailors has increased
until in 1901 there were 1912 of1cer4,
and engineers (304 foreign) to the

foreigners is as striking as tho In

make that rift little wider. For all
his years, and the fierce struggle in
the foam-smother, Andrew Galbraith
was yet conscious when Griswold
dragged him over the gunwale of the
catboat; and his first gasped-out
word was characteristic of the man.
IL told that gandering loon of
an ingineer he'd lose Mr.. Grierson's
boat, and he's done it the moo! And
rs warrant she cost pretty penny,
too"
With the lake still dashed into fury
by the squall, which was now spend
ing itself in spiteful catspaws, Girls
void had his hands full with the
''Sprite;" and yet in all the distrac-
ton of it he saw the. shadow of a
smile in Charlotte's eyes, and found
time to answer it. Found time for
this, and for the thought which
welled up in sudden ecstacy at this
little lovers proof of the consanguin-
ity of kindred souls. But after that
he became the cool and intrepid
sailor-man again.
Taking the tiller, he let the catboat
fall off until he could speak the
yacht. -: f~== n. vi. .<< ..-: :. ). .:.~.

blown back on the gale. ~ -
"All right: we have that one"
shouted Griswold; and at the word,
the two boats shot apart, each to
make it's laboring way towards the
Wahaskan. haven. y RI. IL
Andrew Galbraith was silent on the
short run before the gale to the pier
head at the foot of Main street. For
one thing, he was not q man Of many

intimate, as q gentleman might, that
his gratitude would wait upon . fit
