tied these carefully into a small bundle,

In less than half an hour the Admiral
was whlrled into Victoria station and
found himself amid dense bustling
throng. who Jostled and pushed in the
crowded terminus. His errand, which
had seemed feasible enough In his own
room. began now 60 present difficulties
in the carrying out, and he puzzled over
how he should take the first steps.
Amid the stream OF business men, each
hurrying on his definite way. the old
seaman In his grey tweed suit and black
soft hat strobe slowly along, his head
sunk and his brow wrinkled In per-
plexity. Suddenly an idea occurred to
him. He walked back to the railway
stall and bought a daily paper. This
he turned and turned until certain

Il out. and carrying II over TO seat,
proceeded to read It AZ his leisure.
And. Indeed. as man read that
column Il seemed strange TO him that
there should stlll remain any one In this
world OF ours who should be in straits
for want OF money. Here were whole
lines OF gentlemen who were burdened
with a surplus In their incomes. and
who were loudly calling to the poor and
needy TO come and take II on their
hands. Here was the Ruileless person
who was not professional moneylend-
er. but who would be glad to corre-
spond, etc. Here. too, was the accommo-
dating individual who advanced sums
from ten TO ten thousand pounds with
out expense, security or delay. THE
money actually paid over within few
hours" ran this fascinating advertise
ment, conjurlng up vision OF swift
messengers rushing with bags OF gold
TO the aid OF the poor struggler. A
third gentleman did all business by per-
sonRl application, advanced money on
anything or nothing; the highest and
alrlest promise was enough to content
him according to his circular. and finally
he never asked for more than Ave per
cent This struck the Admiral aH far
the most promising. ana his wrinkles

found himself face TO face with Charles

"Hullo. Admiral"
"Hullo. westmacotti Charles had

"Oh. 1 have been doing a little busl-

his companion his mission and the
causes which led TO II. Charles West
macott knew little enough OF city life
and the ways OF business, but at least
he had more experience IN both than
the Admiral. and he made up his mind
not to leave him until the matter was
settled.
"These are the people" said the Ad-
