LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities of Officers and Di-
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of. the
New York Life Insurance cempany
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, On the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilitieS that attach to a going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. i understand" he says,

burden you have placed on my Shout

serves you and the policyholders in

Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are. cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. & Ny thanks, therefore,
he continues, for an honor which out

when the carriage drew up under the
porte-cochere of the hotel. DR.. Starva
alighted and met the concierge at the
vestibule heard little of what was
said at first, but the surprise of the
concierge was evident. He tossed his
arms about, and burst into excited pro-
tests. Presently land / could see that
Starva was annoyed at the action) he

the corner, apparently asleep.

Starva in the same language. THAT

the natural grape-sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is suf

This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think
but exudes from the granules in the
process Of manufacture, when the
starch OF the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This, in effect, is the

Ireachery.
Three hours later DR.. Starva and
myself were on the little steamboat en-
route for Vitznau, journey of an
hour. l had met him at the quay; he
was alone. Madame de WARMER, he
coolly informed me, had taken an
earlier boat. l was not to see her un-
til next morning.
Frankly, 1 scarcely liked that. 1

genial companion. However. l was

ice were to be the opportunity of find
ing Sir Mortimer Brett. Until l had
penetrated the mystery of his disap-
pearance l would be as clay in their
hands. Perhaps it might be necessary
to be their partner for the nonce in
their intrigues. They might wonder
at my docility or guilelessness, but
they should not question it. That was
the delicate task 1 must bend myself
to for the present.

from the chilly air. Already the lights
OF Vitznau could be seen dimly through

brows.
