They argued the matter for some
time, but Ruth refused to eonsidsr re-
treat at this stage, and John. impress
ed though he was by the others EVIL
dent sincerity, gould not help feeling
that as an outsider he did not under.
stand the necessity Of the recovery Of
the plans. -. .s.---.,
When he and Sir Donald talked Il
over alone the baronet was even more
insistent.
He characterized the whole expedi-
ton as rash and plainly stated that
should the British government get
wind Of such a search immediate steps
would be taken to see that the Ameri-
cans went no further.
Dorr was unconvinced and finally IN
timated that Faversham had not meant
what he said when he had volunteered
to help them. .~-
Sir Donald shrugged his shoulders
and admitted himself helpless in the
face of such arguments.

are concerned the proposed Law
makes no change, don't know
whether he would wish to go on
record as stating that the proposed
law in nowise AFFECTS the farmer, or
not; 1 hardly think he would. for It
appears to me that the provisions Of
the act would create conditions that
would be felt by the farmer in no I'M
certain manner.
Section II Of Senate Document 3
provides for the creation Of an In
dustrial Accident Commission OF
three members with salaries aExre-
eating $4,000, q secretary with salary
Of $500, an appropriation Of $4,000
for expert and clerical assistance
and other expenses in organising q
suitable system Of admtntstfa&1pn.
From and after Jan. LIST 1916. thu sum
of $4,000 per annum for txaNolling
expenses, witness tees. physiciAnis
fees, etc., ETC., etc. !
Now, If the farmer could thinle that
he had no part Of this additional
burden to bear he might not caro- CO.

paid more thao his just proportion Of
every appropriation ana probably NJ!
ways will: and this knowledge will
not lead to any great degree of en-
thusiasm for the w. c. A In the rural
districts. {
Now to disclose another anglo Of
the situation-and as q fore word to
a comprehensive grasp Of the matter
will say here that IL the bill under
discussion becomes a law It Will COM (

the risk such law would impose

The proponents say: You need not
be an asserting employer unless you
WISH" but they see to It that tho
punishment provided for the non
asserting employer is 20 drastic that
he might as well close up az take the
chances.
There are, I believe, about 1900
small mills similar to mine in this
State. I base my opinion upon q TACT
that was brought out at the 18th
Legislature-thatt there were In tho

estimate. L have no doubt many Of
the owners OF mills similar to mine
will pursue the same course I have
decided upon. Just what this means
to the farmers Ia best illustrated By
an account OF my own experience this
winter; on account Of the volume Of
work in other lines Of business had
decided not to DO any custom saving
this season, but the urgent requests
of many farmers having logs tina.
they must have sawed into lumber for
the ever needed repairs and altera-
lions in farm buildings induced me %
change my plans and admit logs to

sawed from his own logs gets II for

Most decidedly" said the baronet
"And the waiting isn't 50 bad, is it?'
The steamer was slipping easily
along across a moonlit sea that night,
and Ruth ard Sir Donald were far in
the bow watching the waves foam
softly away from the cutwater.
The girl lad awakened during the
past few weeks to the dim happiness
Of being always the center Of mems
thoughts.
She was not in love, but she was
ready to be. The experienced man be
side her surmised this His own heart
was beating a new tune. He had lived
much. and women had not been aioof
from his life.
But this fair, proud, inexperienced.
yet self contained girl wakened in him
a deeper feeling than he cared to con-
fess.
To be sure, he had John Dorr to con-
tend with. Faversham did not under
estimate him as possible rival when
he allowed himself to go so far as con-
templating marriage with Ruth.
He liked the young American and
none knew better than he the effect
that constant association with Dorr
must have upon young and very i'm
pressionable girl. Johns own send-
ments were unmistaka ble-he was
deeply in love.
From Hongkong they transshipped
to P. and o. steamer for Bombay.
and under Sir Donalds expert guild
ance they shortly found themselves in
India and installed in very good ho-
tel.
eve must wait here till I discover
through natives just where that fellow
is bound for
"Wby not simply trace him" de-
manded Dorr, impatient to be about
his errand.
THAT would be out Of the question"
Faversham explained. In the first
place, you don't understand any native
tongue. and In the second place the
British government doesn't look with
favor on strange and unattached Eu-
ropeans Stumbling about among the
natives.
''If you leave it to me / think I
not only can ascertain the exact place
where this fellow comes from, but the
temple where the idol belongs"
Several days passed, during which
Sir Donald was busy among old &C.
quaintances. leaving John and Ruth to
their own devices.
They occupied their time in sight
seeing. At last Faversham came into
dinner one evening with smile on his
face.
I've found your man and learned
something of the history of the image"
he said.
"And we can get it back?" Ruth in
quired promptly.
Sir Donald shook his head gently.
"Not so fast. young LADY,"
"But that is what we came for" she
went on.
1.-THE fact of the matter is this" said
the baronet-"that image was stolen
