10 the United States from Montreal.
Astor in 1854 had settled in New
York and tried to establish the fur
trade there. 1t was so badly disorgan-
lied and the center was here so he de-
cided to come TO Canada. 1t was not
until 1909, however, that he obtained
the charter under the name of the
American Fur company from the New
York state. legislature and associated
with himself as agents several expert
enced fur men.
He planned a headquarters at the
mouth of the Columbia river. and came
to Montreal in 1910 TO search for men
to do this work. He found most Of the
good men already under contract TO op.
posing companies, but the next year
in 1911, he founded Astoria on the Co.
lumbia which later was changed during
the War of 1872 to Fort George.
Musty old records and documents in
the Montreal archives show TO some
extent the growth of Astor's business
here. But, the steel hooks. sledge ham
mers and picks are ready and before
the end of the month the gray wall:
of his place will be razed; the los
floors once soaked and still stained BY
the grease of thousands of fresh pelt,
will be torn up; the latticed, turre

and for years the brass knocker on the
massive door has been silent.

are now wide. and busy paved high

bears three grain elevators, the largest

the trappers and voyageurs have given
way to the staccato rap of compressed
air riveters and the raucous rasp OF
donkey engines for work on the new
Montreal court house, right in front OF
the Astor place, is well under way.
Plans we're completed today for the
erection of a new commercial building
and these include the demolition of the
Astor building. This will commence in

plans signed the death warrant Of one

Astor's Life History.
Local historians recently have de-
bated saving the building, but as its
historic value was more the concern
of the United States than Canada. the
salvage project fell through. Commerce
demanded more room for progress, SO
the ancient landmark has TO be sacri-
feed.
1t was in 1873 that John Jacob As
tor came to America. He was born in
Waldorf. near Heidelberg. Germany
and there worked in his fathers butcher
shop. In 1904 he constructed the old
building here and thereafter made an
nual trips to it to buy the pelts of the
Quebec trappers and ship them to the
United States. Astor was associated
with Alex and Rhoderict Mackenzie
and the trio later formed the Northwest
Trading company, shipping furs direct

Sometimes Astor Took Part.
Gaily bedecked Indian maidens and

touch of brilliancy and, sometimes, the
historians tell us, the occasion was

Astor himself who, well content. with
his transactions, found time to join in
the harmless fun with his workers.
And in the evenings we are told, the
yoyageurs plying their paddles against
the strong current of the st. Lawrence

the night. going over his days trade

Hubert Stane, discharged convict,
while visiting a northern post of the
Hudson Bay Company, meets an old
friend, Gerald Ainley, who promises
TO call at Stances camp at midnight.
Stane becomes acquainted with Mis-

midnight Stane is attacked and r
RED off by Indians. He awakens to
lind himself in strange surroundings.
Ainley, travelling with a governor
pf the company, falls in o with
Helen Yardely, the governors niece.
Helen disappears from her uncle's
camp and Gerald goes in search OF
Ter. Stane rescues Helen from the
river when her canoe travels toward

was wondering how many travellers
there were; and found the thought
a deterrent one; for though once he
lifted his gun and pointed it to the
~sleeping man, he lowered 1t again,
his ewes turning to the tent anew.
After a period of indecision, the
intruder left the shadow of h trees,
and crept quietly down to the camp,
his gun still at the ready, and with
his eyes fixed on the unconscious
Stane. Moving very cautiously he
reached the place where the canoe
was beached, and looked down into
If. A CLEAN of satisfaction came into
his dark eyes as he saw a small
| sack of beans reposing in the stern,
then again q c~ovetous look came
into them as their gaze shifted to
the stores about the camp. But these
were very near the sleeping man,
and as the latter stirred in his sleep,
the half-breed relinquished n
thought OF acquiring them. Stealth
lily he conveyed the canoe down TO
the waters edge, launched 1t, and
then with a grin on his evil face
as he gave a last look at the man In
the blanket, he padded away.
A full three-quarters of an hour
later Stane awoke, and kicking aside
the blankets, replenished the fire,
and then went a little way upstream
to battle. At the end of half an hour
he returned. His first glance was to-
ward the tent, the fly of which was
still closed, then he looked round
the camp and a puzzled look came
on his face. There was something
a little unfamiliar, something not
present which
Great Scott! The canoe!"
At a run he covered the space be-
tween him and the camp, and as he
looked round and saw that most of
the stores reposed where he had
placed them the previous night, re-
lief surged in his heart.
"Thank heaven!"
"Mr. Stane, what is the matter?
You look as if something had
startled you"
He swung round instantly. Helen
Yardely was standing at the TEN
door with a smile on her face.
1.-THE matter is serious enough
he explained quickly. Some one
has stolen the canoe in the night"
"Then we are stranded" asked
the girl quickly.
"In q way-yes." he agreed. Blu

said. The alternative to the rive

"Oh," she cried, protestingly, "I

broke off in confusion. Il cannot be-

remembered something, for he broke

at suppose hat the other night
when you were waiting for Mr.. Ain

Stane made no reply, but sat look
ing in the fire, and the girl watch
ing him, drew her own conclusion
from his silence, q conclusion thai
was far from favorable to Gerald
Ainley. She wondered what were
the questions Stane had wished to
