p~aradoSial conclusion that it would so
iarlner II divided between himself and
somebody else. He had fallen in love
with Agnes Torrens, an attractive
young woman: they We're both full of
the hopefulness of youth, they both be-
l1eved that b was bound to make
q name and earn a constantly increas-
ing income, so they married.
A year passed Very. very happily, but
after tine birth of the baby there MAS
a change in their circumstances. Rob-
ert determined to try a novel, and for
that reason had ~relinquished some of
his regular journalistic II literary
work which had supported him.
Money was becoming scarce and they
were running into debt. but it was all
to be set right when the novel was
finished. Robert INDUCED in dreams of
the extent of the sum which would be
paid TO him for the copyright. if he
sold 1t, or the total of the royalties he
would receive on the sale of so many
thousand copies of his work. They
would be rich.
1t was a great shock to Robert and
Agnes when the novel was refused by
the publisher TO whom it was first Of
fered. and the refusal was repeated by
all the chief publishing firms as he
tried them one after anotehr.
The book has good points but
Then followed a reason that differed
every time. Robert Mason became
morose; angry With fate. he turned his
attention to the work he had secretly
despised before the failure.
This trial brought out the weakness
of both natures. Agnes old him that
he ought to have mad his characters
do this or that as she had originally
suggested; her husband was annoyed,
his pride was hurt. and he answered
that she knew nothing about ii.
In less tina six months things had
gone wrong with their happiness, there
was constant quarrelins-petty quar-
rels. just enough to make life miserable,
no blows as with many others. but
sharp speeches that cut quickly into
the sensitive natures.
If Robert had had success in his
journalistic career. All might have gone
smoothly. but i'll luck pursued him and
his earnings, dwindled until they We're
living in gentle poverty.
AT last it came to a bitter alteration
in which each said more thai he or
she had intended.

large. There was a general falling off
in business =. every section of the
country during 1903; a severe reaction
occurred in the steel and iron industry,
railroad earnings showed some heavy
decreases, there was a prolonged and
continuous de.>iine in the stock market
and n large number of corporations

dividend disbursements entirely. These

slowly recede To normal proportions.
For the last month every steamship
leaving the port of New York has been

passengers bound across the Atlantic

three months this crush will continue.
r-he German steamers sailing from Bal

There is always rush of tourists
abroad during the years of prosperity
when there is no great country attrac-

exhibition. When our people are making
money they spend a liberal share of it
in importing articles of luxury from
abroad and in travelling on the Contl-

amounts to such an enormous sum that
it is most important factor in the
movement of foreign exchange as well
as in the visible and invisible balance
