The western country at large has
been worrying and figuring trying to
find out how old is Johnnie Jones. A
brother of the famous Ann. But the
question that is worrying two popular
McGillites is what is it?"
The Denver papers that started the
Johnnie Jones query offered a prize
for the solution of the mathematical
problem, and from all Indications, a
small prize will be offered by the two
smelter boys for the answer of their
argument.
Last Sunday Chas. Mathews and
ing trip and took with them as guide
the famous scout and Indian trailer,
Shorty Hicks" After walking sew
eral miles they came upon a trail
which for a time Shorty thought
was that of the national bird but
which turned out to be? and that is
where the argument comes In.
Charles says it was an owl and a
boot owl at that. George isists that
it was a broad faced duck; a very
rare SPECIES for this part of the
country. He claims they only live in
the heavy timber of New Hampshire,
and for one to be SO far from home
is more than he can figure out. The
powder burns OF Its" face would go
to show that ut" was shot at very
close range So that is a point in
favor of Charles, as he says an owl
cannot see in the day time.
We are unable to find out If a broad
faced duck is blind or If their eye
sight is also bad in the sunlight. If
some good sportsman will please call
and have a look at "It" and decide
the question:, we are sure he will be
entitled to at least one square meal
at the Mathews hotel. Until then the
question remains unsettled. What
is 1t?

Your Choice of Magazines and Papers at Net Cost
Important Announcement

Last year this list was not is-
sued until after January first, but in
spite of this fact and that most people
had already done their clubbing, we
received orders for fully $1,000 worth
of magazines and papers. We are
confident that if any one will just look
the offers over they will subscribe
through US for all their magazines and
papers. We can give better prices
than regular agents because all maya
zine publishers make net price that
must not be quoted in catalogs for the
public, but by quoting in connection
with our publication we can quote
their net price to US. For instance
the publishers of one $3.50 magazine
will not allow 1T to be quoted to the
public for less than S1.25 but the pub
fishers accept ST from US. Now for the
sake of getting renewals for the Mon
itor promptly we are willing to give
you the benefit of this cheaper rate
and in this list that magazine with
the Monitor is quoted at $3.50. That
is what we mean when we say Maya
zines and Papers at met Cost" We
can buy the magazines just as cheap
as any one else but are willing to do
the business FREE for the sake of the
Monitor subscriptions. All subscription
agents make living out of the bust
ness or at least a profit We accept
from you just what we forward to the
various publishers and do the business
for the sake of Monitor patronage.

CHAPTER VII.
MORE WRECKS.

~eHE next morning Moran grudg-
ingly announced that he would
probably be able to get Jackson
~ temporary job in the bake
shop. The helper was still sick.
Gentle soon arrived. accompanied by
the young diver. Both were intensely
interested in the millionaire's venture.
This morning Gentle was off duty,
while Philip had another diving Job
to attend to. Philip went away. first
arranging with Haggleton to meet him
at Chatham square at quarter past
r.
Nor was the morning wasted. Gen
tie put up shelves: Haggleton sorted
out rubbish. Gentle quietly noticed
that Joe was actually busy under the
driving influence Of the millionaire.
Jenny helped with suggestions and lit
tie touches. The fat was beginning
to take on homelike air.
At II O'Clock Haggleton left the fat
to keep his appointment. He was in
excellent spirits.
"Ah." exclaimed Philip as they met.
80 you came! You're game. all right
Well. let's eat-in here. Keep your
hat on
They entered a Bowery restaurant
near Chatham square. battered place
seen through two dusty windows. At
long tables were silent. shifty eyed
men who seemed to sit as far apart
as possible. And they all kept their
hats on and their coat collars turned
up, while hard faced walters moved

Philips face was set. This man
wanted to see poverty and misery.

sumption. Well go there first
On the way he spoke briefly of the
case. The old lady had no one in the
world to care for her but a little grand
! daughter eight years old. The child
went to school. so the sick woman was
absolutely alone for hours every day.
| And she was SO feeble she could
scarcely lift herself from the bed.
Philip turned into a dark hallway
with greasy green walls; they climbed
four flights of stairs to tiny room

wished the sun could shine in. She
loved the sun. There were a few
weeks in June when the sun did shine
in. but June was a long way off, She
closed her eyes YEARLY and lay still.
"Well?" asked Philip.
There's nothing to say replied
Haggleton. ''She's going to die. We're
all going to die
but that child-only eight years
Old?"

The next case was farther down the
street-an Irish longshoreman about
thirty-five. who also was nearing his
end-consumption and cancer Of rhe

He wanted to be near the wife and
