SYNOPSIS.

Darlington loved Kate Cavenaugh.

enaugh- The latter liked carrington. but
refused him as a son-in-law. Young Car
rington, lawyer. held evidence OF Grim
inal financial operations. OF which Cave
naugh was guilty. 1t was Carrington's 5
duty to prosecute the rich man. but he
decided TO lay the whole matter before
Kate. He did the next day. The young
woman decided that to drop the case
would be cowardly even though the ac-
cused was her father. Cavenaugh offered
Carrington n position at $1,000 "A year.
He refused IT. He hid his evidence In the
Cavenaugh safe. after being introduced
to the millionaire's father. The evidence
was stolen that night. Katc's sister
Norah connded that she had told her
grandfather the combination TO the safe.

CALLS ATTENTION TO COUNTRY

Epifanio Portela envoy extraordinary from Ar.
gentina. has risen to remark that Americans
could get more trade with his country If they
only had ships sailing from New York some
other central point to Buenos Ayres. AS 1t is
now, about the only way that American goods
can be shipped to Argentina is by way of Europe.
But four American ships visited Buenos Ayres
in 1908 Despite this handicap. the envoy says.
the residents of his land took nearly $4,000. 900
of American goods last year. The total annual
trade is $500. 600 900.
THE people of our country would like to trade
with America" says Portela but as it is. the
countries of Europe undersell yours on
everything except agricultural machinery, which
constitutes the bulk of the S50.O00.O00 business

w. j. Botterlll. London (England) civil en-
gneer, has proposed the building of sea level
canal 120 feet wide and 81 feet deep across Eng
land, from Yarmouth. the naval base of the Brit.
ish Isles on the North sea, to the Bristol chan
nel 24O miles away. The proposed canal would
also have branch to Birmingham, an important
commercial city. making it port for sea-going
vessels. This section which would connect with
the main canal at Oxford. would be so miles
long.
Engineer Botteril declares the main idea of
the canal to be commerce, but, of course the
naval defense England has expected to make
for herself in the European war that always
threatens comes up for consideration. With this
idea in view Mr. Botterill would provide forti-

Admiral Sir Arthur M

Admiral Sir Arthur Moore. X. c. B.. K c. V.
O., C. NJ. c., who will succeed Sir John Fisher
in October next the active head of the Eng
lish navy. is sailor who has risen to his pres
ent position by sheer hard work and competence.
He is not spectacular person, like Lord Charles
Befesford his immediate predecessor, Sir John
Fisher. but he has distinguished himself by al
ways doing the job that given him in excel
lent shape and without any unnecessary fuss
and noise. Patriotic Englishmen hope that his
advent at the admiralty will mark the end of
the petty personal and political jeaouses which
have done so much harm to the service recently.
Admiral Moore is now 62 years old. He en-
tered the navy in 1860. and specially pro-
