ure, Predicts S14. 800, 900 Surplus.

London. April 20.-David Lloyd
George. chancellor of the exchequer,
reintroduced last years budget in the
house of commons yesterday.
He declared that he realized that the
present deficit of s131,24O.OO0 would
be more than wiped out when all ar
rears had been collected and that
there would be an actual surplus of
S14,SOO.000 If the budget had been
passed as usual last year. he said.
there would have been a surplus Of
$21 100000
The chancellor commented upon the
remarkable decrease Of 30 per cent in
the consumption of whisky. which de-
crease he attributed mainly TO the eX-
ira duty imposed. The loss in the
revenue from spirits as compared with
the estimated figures was s14,OOO,0C0.

Van Torp was speaking with Kra-
1insky IN low tones. Lady Maud spoke
to Logotheti again, after an instant. in
which she drew q painful breath and
grew paler.
Miss Dome knows that you are on
board" she said but she wishes me
to say that she will not see you. and
that she considers her engagement at
an end, after what you have done"
Logotheti did not hesitate.
viii you kindly give a message to
Miss Dome from me?" he asked.
That quite depends on what it is,"
Lady Maud answered colby.
She felt that she herself had got
something near a death-wound. but
she would not break down.
81 beg you to tell Miss Dome that
yield to her decision" said Logotheti
with dignity. I'VE are not suited to
each other, and it is better that we
should part. But 1 cannot accept as
the cause of our parting the fact that
I have given my protection to a young
girl whom I have extracted from great
trouble and have treated, and still
treat, precisely as 1 should have
treated Miss Dome if she had been
my guest. VIII You tell her that?"

He turned and went towards the

Torp.

though he is strikingly like him I
have to thank you for giving her an
opportunity of satisfying herself. Good

Mr.. van Torp was extremely CRATE
full to Logotheti for having ruined
himself in Margaret's eyes. and would
in any case have seen him to the
gangway, but he was also very anx-
ious to know what Kralinsky and Ba-
raka had said to each other in Tartar.
He therefore opened the door for the
Greek. followed him out and shut it
behind him. Baraka and Spiro had
disappeared; they were already in the
launch, waiting.

Edmund HALEY was the son of

began i'll early youth to study astron-

knowledge of comets and especially on
the fact that he inferred that the so
called comets Of 1881, 1907 and 1852
were the same body and that it would
reappear in 1888. prediction that
came true From that day the comet
