I had no wish to blight his faith in
the superlative Mr.. Shaw, and said
nothing. This evidently panied him,
and he continued to sound the praises
of his idol. 1t seemed that as

all the honors of its former prestige
restored, for the tailored suit is an abb
solute essential to good dressing.
There are many new points Of inter-

Of opinion is that it is perfectly prop

he was left behind in London, only
! half recovered Of a wound received
in the Antarctic. His old companions
had taken again the path of glory, and
were far on their way back to the ice
fields Of the South pole. Only Dugald
Shaw was left behind.
"And So" the even voice flowed on,

was feeling fearfully low, do assure
you. A chap of his sort naturally
hates to think he's on the shelf.
swell, old Shaw was fancying there
was nothing for it but to go back TO
his place with the P. & O., which
seemed a bit fiat after what he'd been
having, and meant he would never get
beyond being the captain of liner,
and not that for good many years
to come, when cable came from this
Miss Higglesby- Browne offering him
command Of this expedition AS
neither Of us had ever heard of Miss
Higglesby- we were bit

a pipe on It, and then he said, old
chap, if they will give me my figure,

old chap, and I'll go along, too
Il had to argue quite bit, but in
the end the dear old boy let me come
after wiring the pater and what not.
And I do assure you, Miss Harding,
it strikes me as no end Of a lark-be-
sides expecting it to put old Shaw on
his feet and give US hatfuls of money
all round
Well, it was plausible story, and
had no doubt, so far as the Honorable
Cuthbert was concerned, an absolute
~ truthful one The beautiful youth
was manifestly as guileless as a small
boy playing pirate with wooden
sword. But as to Mr.. Shaw, who
could tell that it hadn't after all been
a trumped-up affair between Miss
Browne and him-that his surprise
at the message was not assumed to
throw dust in the eyes of his young
and trusting friend? So great was
my faith in Aunt James gullibility,
so dark my distrust of Miss Browne,
that all connected with the enterprise
lay under the cloud Of my suspicion.

the only gold to be won by anybody

subject Of them approaching. He lift
ed his helmet, but met my eyes un-
smilingly, with a sort of sober scru-
tiny. He had the tanned skin OF q
sailor, and brown hair cropped close
and showing a trace of gray. This
and certain dour grim look he had
made me at first consider him quite
middle-aged, though knew later that
he was not yet thirty-fve. AS to the
grimness, perhaps, unwillingly con-
coded, part of it was due to a scar
which scanned the right temple to the
eyebrow, in a straight livid line.
He was welcomed by Mr.. Vane with
joyous thump on the shoulder-blade.

turned out to be the most fearful

fair enough until one discovers that at

that the price of dollar in coppers
runs from 1870 to 40, Instead OF the

This state OF things gives rise TO

A woman under such conditions de-
yelops a poor memory and yields to

for 80 cents and thus completes the
transaction. But before she leaves
the counter, she says oh, by the way
and purchases another so cents worth,
