Jack shook his head.
mo, it wasn't all on account of
Angela" he said gravely. There's
no doubt that she did all she could
to pull us apart. :"
"Of course she did," Honey Lou
broke in with a quick nod of her
head. "Nlargret told me once that
she'd do it. too. She said Angela
was the kind of woman who
couldn't bear to lose a man she'd
tried to get -. and she'd tried to
get you all right, all right.
And think if she had, JACK
Why, she drinks! Steve Mayhem
says she's been drinking secretly
for years and years! She's a ter
rible woman really-all silly soft
cruelty underneath - just Ike
tiger-cat! It's a wonder I never
saw through her until she'd helped
spoil our life together!"
She drew a deep breath and went
on:
"Why, she even set me against
that poor Miss Ayres who's been
working for you! Told me you
were in love with her -"
He covered her lips with one of
his hands. But she went right on
in a mufflcd voice: And your
mother, Jack. She let Angela turn
her against me -. or do you think
mothers n-laws always hate their
sons wives?"
Once more he shook the blond
head that she held so tenderly
/ between her velvety palms.
"My damnable jealousy was at
the bottom of the whole thing" So
he shouldered the blame-all Of it.

Lets go home, and forget every
body but you and me for a while.
We have a second honeymoon COM
ing to US, it seems to me, Mrs. Jack
Wallack, junior"
He pulled her close to his side
and half carried her down the long
gates into Exchange street that
was always gray and dreary--no
matter how blue the sky above or
how bright the sun.
And looking at it, Honey Lou
saw that, all at once, it shone with
a. magic radiance. And for her it's
dirty cobble-stones were like the
floor of Paradise!

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

hardly got started before the owner said point-blank nothing was doing, since the offer was payment on a percentage basis of the gross proceeds.
 If all capitalists were after the same kind of proposition, an owner would know just where he was at. Most of them want a developed property, and this is beyond the means of the ordinary prospector. Some are willing to take a chance with a prospect. Think ing that a property must be
 developed to show all kinds of ore, the prospector beggars himself and wastes years. It used to be that way, but many monied groups are getting
 usy with prospects. They lind that it is about the only way now they can get good mines. Frank Taylor's big find at Topley, in the Omineca, soon attracted engineers of many large companies, and if he were down on his cash payment somewhat, a deal could soon be effected. Over Hope way, a man has a good gold proposition, but he wants Sl6.00O a year for four years for it. Unless the owners them selves develop these proper ties, it is probable they will lie idle, for no company will pay $16,O00 or $20,000 for the privilege of proving that the ore is in place. These are only outstanding instances, but they can be repeated al libi- tum. It simply means that the prospector owner must look forard to another year or two without money, and take a chance on his property with the people who will provide money for it's development.
 The lease and bond system

That capital is no longer in- clined to pay large prices for unproven mining ground is we'll known to those who keep abreast of the progress of min- ing development. "A million for @ mine, not a quarter for a prospect" has virtually be- come a mixim among a large number of mining investors. Others are somewhat more literally inclined and will pay moderate sums for the privi- lege of Investigating proper ties for a short period. It re- mains the rule, however, that e exceedingly few are willing to pay more than very mode rate amounts on properties un- til their potentialities are practically proved. The fol- lowing editorial from the Western Canada Mining News (Vancouver) presents the sub- ject in 8 graphic manner and also makes a number of timely suggestions for the prospector. The article says:
 There is little doubt that de- velopme11t of mining proper ties is retarded by the inabili- ty of prospector-owners and men with money. to get to- gether. To bring them together so that development of a prop rty may proceed, is something of an art. The blame cannot he put on the owner altogeth- CT. Ordinarily the situation is that a prospector has worked years to discover a good claim and~ bring it to the stage where it will interest capital. In many instances, he has spent the best years of his life, working for a little money to sink il on the property, and if a deaI is in sight he naturally thinks he should get a stake out of il rather than wait 8 few more years to get his share of the proceeds.

 chaser has consideration for the needs of the owner, and if he is looked after there is little difficulty in effecting a deal. A mining man who himself has prospected, operated mines, senorted on them, and has in- terested capital, suggests to Western Canada Mining News that the prospector puts too much work on his claims. He is too ambitious to prove up a great property and lays out much money and time driving costly tunnels and such like, The location of tunnels is the work of an engineer, and many prospector drives a much longer distance than s necessary. What this man suggests is that the vein be stripped as far as possible, perhaps only at intervals, but .ength must be shown. Then 3hannel across the vein below oxidation, at distances along the whole length, so that a man who examines the prop erty can take average samples. Leave the tunneling alone.
 Such exploration would re- veal sufficient ore to interest capital, and any group looking for a property would be will ing to do the remainder of the necessary work to prove the ground. In that case, the prospector would not have to wait long and would not be much money out of pocket. The prospector's side can we'll be understood. He wants to make a stake to last him for the remainder of his days, and after years on the hills his desire is natural. That is why, perhaps that he wants to show large ore bodies. If the capi- talistic groups will allow the owner a share in the proceeds, SO that if a big mine is devel- oped there will be less regret because it is sold, it might help. Both are after as much as they can get out of it.
 Let the prospector show the length and width of his vein, and put his property into the { pot. Let the purchaser dia- mond drill or tunnel to prove the ore body. When this point ] is arrived at, let the bargain ] ing be fair. It would be a fine thing if a competent man could judge the bargain with a view to getting the property into operation as soon as poss- ible.
 ! Conditions will probably eff l feet their own relief, but un- fortunately befoer the desired end is reached through natu- ral process, there is heart burning, and what is more to be regretted, g meritorious property may lie idle"
