He did not know of her existence, but
she felt quite sure that she shotld recog-
nize him If ever they met in the street,
whose noisy, busy life swept on far be-
low their feet. She could always single
him out among the mechanics working
there in mid-air. No other workman trod
the iron beams with such assured poise,
nor squared his shoulders just as he did
to the days work. He did everything
with an air of absolute confidence which
thrilled and mastered her.
He was too far away for her to scru-
tinize his features, but she was quite sure
that he had honest, clear blue eyes and
brown curly hair. And his eyes could
twinkle merrily-tllis she knew by the
jovial way in which he signaled his fellow
workmen. -.a

A Step Towards Reciprocity With
80 Canada. = - :.

The substantial removal of the duty on
bituninous coal for one year, by means OF
a rebate equal to the whole of the Gus
toms duties on innportations Of coal, may
be long step towards reciprocity with
Canada in this commodity. There would
have been no doubt about it, If the duty
had been absolutely abolished, instead OF
temporarily removed by means OF a re-
bate. .s ......~
/ The governing principle of the Canadian
coal tariff schedules is a reciprocity In tar
ifs with the United States. If there had
been no American tariff on bituminous
coal when the Canadian tariff law of 1897
was passed, Canada would have put coal

AS the American duty on ordinary btu
minous coal is CT cents ton Of 2,24O
pounds, the Accent minimum tariff OF
the Canadian schedule has never been
proclaimed. In view Of this evident in

make their coal duty vary with that OF
