At any rate it was Irene who finally threatened
that she would not speak to him again that day if
he stirred out of his tent before dinner.
And indeed Dick required no rocking when, after

Stump glared up at him. No man had ever before

Royson tried to escape. In his hurry
he did not notice bulky letter which
lay on the top of one of his leather
trunks. Stump called him back
You re missin' your mail, Sir Rich

turned. Oddly enough, the letter COW
cred the initials r. K" painted on the
portmanteau. Turning a deaf ear to
Stump's further pleasantries, he opened
the envelop. A scrawl on sheet of
thin continental note paper contained
the brief statement that, "by mad

The Enclosures, which were from Forbes,
bore out the accuracy of Mrs. Haxton's
revelations. He was in very truth the
twenty-seventh Baronet of his line, sole
owner OF Orme Castle and Its depen-

and estate to take a social position Of
no mean order.
For an instant he forgot his sur
roundings He recalled the stately old
house and its beautiful park as he had
last seen it, with all its glories rejuven-
ated by the money that was pouring
into the Golfers of his detested relative.

outraged enthusiasm of the collector
was a torrent that engulfed charity

Nothing short of the most painstak

convince the millionaire that Won

Royson was far from expecting
this development Yet, now that it
had occurred, he saw it was inevi-

he guessed why Fenshawe wanted
him in such a hurry.
Irene, who had never known her
grandfather to be SO greatly dis

lover, If granddad wishes you to

The Results,

Under the leadership of that great

English manufacturers earnestly sup
ported the demand for free trade In

tain protection and under the minis
try of a former ardent protectionist,
Sir Robert Peel, the whole system
was swept away, corn laws, naviga-
ton laws, and all The results need
not be described Philadelphia Rec
ord
The results are too well known to
require description. British manufac-
turers are being undersold in the
British market the United Kingdom
has become dumping ground for the
cheaper wares of competitive coun-
tries, British workmen in vast num-
bers are out of employment, and the
British pauper percentage is the high

the results of displacing protection
and installing free trade.

The Well-Dressed Woman.

The news comes from Paris that
leader of fashion says a woman
cannot be we'll dressed in the gay
French city for less than $40, 900
year. She must pay at least
5000 for a dress for ordinary wear
and $4,000 for a creation. Proper
hats cannot be had for less than
$3.50 each, and the dainty hosiery
of my lady of fashion must run S

That story was probably only
circulated in America, and with
the intention to catch the Ameri-
can eye and gull the American
trade. Because of our lavish use
of money, Americans have come
to be regarded by Europeans as
wholly money mined. They think
we have set up the dollar mark as
the arbiter of good taste, and
judge only worth and elegance
and art by what they cost in terms
of gold 1t is not true that the
dollar mark is the symbol of value
to all OF us. We do not form our
tastes upon the size of it. We do
not think that riches mean
elegance, or gaudiness beauty.

Asked to give his views on in
ternational marriages, he said:
Il think can account for the
rush for foreign noblemen. In
matrimony as we'll as finance the
American men like to dominate.
He wants his wife and daughters
to enjoy things in his way. He
is liberal, kindly intentioned, but
domineer;ng. He forgets that his
home is not the market, and he
drags his work into it, and serves
it up to his family three times a
day, or as often as he is at home.
He is like machine. All of his
tenderness has been lost in his
business. Whatever the foreigner
may be, he never forgets the at
tentions due the woman he loves. -
