From a financial point of view the

yet Cashel was conscious of a feeling
of dissatisfaction. Lady Betty had
shown more interest in Lord Wignham
than he cared about. She usually treat

of way, and had a notion that some

might not agree.
For the next few days he was busy
laying heavily but cautiously against
Viking" He felt convinced that Wing
hams defeat was a dead certainty, and
he made his ook accordingly.
He grew less confident as the race
drew near, however, Wingham was
looking very fit, and Betty's continual
assertions h a he had, a chance took
an effect wen on Cashels scepticism.
Suppose he We're wrong n Viking

would have to go under, to drop out

1 desire again to emphasize the tact pre-
viously asserted that bonds must be val
ued by the company they keep. The time
worn argument about the partner and
creditor is quite as urgently advanced in
selling a low-grade bond as in selling a
! high-grade bond. We are told by the
vendor of bonds that the stockholder is a
partner and takes the risks OF the bust
ness. while the bondholder is a creditor
and holds a mortgage on the assets Of the
stockholders. This is quite true, but the
cases are too numerous to mention where
the investor might. to his greater advan-
tage, consider the financial resources and
earning capacity of the company whose
stock he holds as a partner, and the fl
nancial resources and earning capacity of
the company which Is debtor to him as q
holder of its bonds. The position as a
partner in the business of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad Is far preferable to the
position as creditor OF the Wabash-P.tts-
burg Terminal railway. And so far as
relates to risks assumed by the partners,
It is found that in the case which 1 Illus
