President Thomas G. Shaughnessy of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway in his report TO the stock
holders of the road which reached Wall Street
yesterday, indicates that the first made
Of the so 900 capital increase of the company
VIII be toward the purchase of additional equip

six years from 1902 to 1903 the company had spent
approximately S37000.000 for equipment the
prospects that within the next six weeks the
road would be short of freight cars, and adds:
While it is healthy sign 10 have shortage

the public and the best interests Of the company
that neither money effort should be spared to

CHAPTER XVIII.
Old Sam Has a Visitor.

1t was past midnight.
At eleven o'clock old Sam Statham
had descended from the mysterious
upper regions, emerged from the
green baize door upon the stairs,
which concealed another white-enam-
eled door-a door of iron, and, pas
sing down 10 the study, had switched
on the electric light, thrown himself
YEARLY into an armchair, and lit a
cigar.
Upon his gray, drawn countenance
was serious, apprehensive look, as
of a man who anticipated serious
trouble, and who was trying in vain
to brave himself up to face it. For
nearly half an hour he had smoked
on alone, now and then muttering to
himself, his bony fingers clenched as
though anticipating revenge. The big
room was so silent at that hour that
a pin if dropped might have been
heard. Only the clock licked on SOL
emily. and striking the half hour
upon it's silvery bell.
The old millionaire, who, in passing
through that baize covered door had
locked the inner door so carefully aft
er him, seemed strangely agitated. So
apprehensive was he that Levi, enter
ing some time afterwards, said in his
sharp, brusque manner:
81 thought you had retired long
ago. What's the matter?'
Il have an appointment" snapped
his master; AN important one
Rather late, isn't it," suggested
the old servant. Remember that
there are spies about. That little at
