sistant in the little nearby town.
Three months previously, at 1887,
the body of the eldest brother had
been found, blown to pieces, upon the
fOotpath of field leading from the
town to his home. The time of his
death was indicated by his watch,
which was found fairly intact beside
him. Whether he had been the vic
tim of an assassin's bomb or what
had happened nobody could ascer-
tain. After some weeks of inVestiga-
ton the matter ceased to be one of
immediate public interest.
Exactly two months later the Sec
Ond brother died A violent explosion
shook the house in which the family
lived. The body of James was found
in his bed, with a gaping wound in
the abdomen. The evidence given by
Mary Harrington at the inquest
showed that he died at five minutes
past one.
That was all, except that Charles
was momentarily expecting the same
fate.
Singleton thought for about eight
minutes, resting motionless in his
chair.
will you let me see your watch?"
he asked of Charles at the end of
that period.
Charles Harrington gave him his
watch. Singleton took off the case
and examined it under a microscope.
you haven't haG it regulated late
Iy?" he asked.
mo. 1t is strange you should ask
me that, because my stepbrother
Stephen is always anxious to regu-
late it for nothing when 1 go into
the shop"
"Ah! You don't suspect him of
completely in this AFFAIR.""
Good heavens, mop answered
Charles Harrington.

Singleton's was~the acutest mind

Mary Harrington did not believe that
he could save her husband, Charles,
from dying an atrocious death. This

There were three brothers, Henry,
James and Charles. The two elder
ones were unmarried. The father
had left his money equally among
the three, but, after the two elder
ones were dead, it was all to vest in
the youngest, Charles. If he died
childless, it was to divided equally be-
tween the widow and Stephen

marriage, whom, old Harrington had

binary railway situation In Canada, fol-
lowing the proposal for loan OF $25,OOO,-

which has been the uppermost topic In
Canadian political circles for the past
week, almost came to a head this after
noon when W. r. White. the Minister OF
Finance, said In the House OF Commons
that the Canadian newspapers quoting
him yesterday as saying that no loan
would be made to the Canadian Northern
did SO with authority
AS to the statement Of Sir William
Mackenzie or remarks that may be at
tributed to him." said Mr.. White. "of
course cannot speak. No application
had been received for assistance by way
of loan to any company. nor was any
expected to be received. So far as I am
aware that Is u correct statement Of the
facts"
Sir william Mackenzie. president Of the
Canadian Northern. gave out a few days
ago. contrary to his lifelong practice. a
long statement to the newspapers saying
that his company was out after big
loan. Whether Mr.. Whites statement
to-day Is to be regarded merely as u
diplomatic denial or not Is n moot ques.
ton. The problem has however. as
sumed the proportions OF "a national issue
and lively developments are looked for

Today we have the account of New York wholesale house which refused to shipment of principal business concerns because York freight agent had said that shipments were accepted to Alaska the shippers risk because navigation is closed banker who would not advance money on draft with bill adng because would take it several months to get returns
