fiscal year ending June 80. 1914,
the customs revenue from sugar was
yer 100000 and even with the
over duty in force since that time
The net income from this source has
approached $5O.OOO.OOO year. On
the basis OF last years imports a

A strong probability exists. there

In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity of con-
struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone, and cement, and materials COM
monty used In road work Increased In
price between 1917 and 1920 from so
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these In
cfeases in cost were reflected In the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
S4,535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from S21, ,165 to upward Of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.
AS funds available for road con-
struction are largely limited by stat

deliberately withheld work. the plans

be described as meaning "a man who
without being noble by race, has lofty
sentiments, elegant manners, and does
noble ucts." With regard to the word
gentleman" it is to be described In
the dictionary as ian English word
sometimes employed in French In the
metaphorlcal and moral sense Of the
word gentilhomme."
This Is undoubtedly not :, the last
time the French academy will he
called upon to give an official welcome
to an English word which has become
current in the French language: for
example, the word "home" ia becoming
great favorlte. and the misuse OF
the words smoking" and dancing"
for Smoking jacket and dance halr
has become so usual that the English
origin of the words is quite forgotten.

CHAPTER Iv-continued.)


"Whats that you say about French
ships in the harbOrs Of ireland? he
said in a tone that showed interest
"Of course, 1 know there's been lot
of talk Of a French raid on Ireland,
but l didn't know it was to be So
soon."
"0h, it's near enough! It's all been
arranged" replied Boyne. "There'll

Boyne drew from his pocket a small
leather-bound case and took from 1t a

Dyck looked at the document, then
said:
