The subject dropped, but the ree-
ult qf bait talk was rather alert-
pPointing to Harry Kerr. He had
not lost the somewhat blank i e -
pression whieh it had left 011 hie feet!
when Cairington touched hie aria.
'Good morning, Kerr. 1 hope I
see you well.
Harry stood up. Ile would at le-
ast give the most punctilious re;t-
Peet to his employer, the man in
whom eo miteh power wee invested
who could be at once kind unit lin-.
placable. Brooding still on the epi -
:40 de that had happened. on the
Brighton front, he had as a matter
of course exaggererated the implac-
able side of Carrington's ntture.
'Good -morning sir.'
. Carrington noted the 'sir.' It was
universally used in the house., but
he did not remember having heard
it before from Harry's lips.'
'You seem very busy here,' he
maid kindly. What are you about'?
•
'These ore the papers relating to
the Mombasa Trust, sir. Mr. Gresley
has just kindly. explained the whole
matter to me, and as there is not
anything else pushing just now. I ani

for my own use.'
'Ala I told, you •to make a friend
of Greeley. He is a pillar in Bland -
field House,' said Carrington. in a
gratified voice. 'Well, how do you
like the work en the whole?'
• 'I am beginning to grasp some of
it,,I hope,' replied Harry Kerr quiet-
ly, 'But it is a very big thing, and
the problems connected with it are
a little overwhohni»g.' ,
'You will never get quite over that
feeling - even though you should
make finance a life-long study,' said
Carrington with the old frank mail-
er which recalled days of past, de-
light in the Dale. 'It is part of its
charm Mate it is liable to over-
whelm a mkt at a moments notice.
Have you any good news from home
I had a letter from my mother
yesterday. She and my father are
both quite well.'
Carrington was silent for a mom-
eet, being a little nonplussed by the
qttiet, subdued .manner of the young
man, which was no more natural to
him than violent rage was. Both were

The p1— n fact is that the increase trade in some

Britain's l'. rkets are wide open ' Canada. Because
of the exhibitio) s of Canadian produ • s, the activity of our
Trade Commis-ioners, and the eff s of our advertising,
the British conl'umer is more fain ar with these products
than ever befo , and consequen more inclined to buy.

Not yet is there among our producers an adequate
realization of the opportunities for increased production
which present conditions in the British markets afford.,
If you are a producer or dealer in foodstuffs, you can
assist to your own profit in gaining a larger share of this
market. Almost every community in this country stands
to benefit. The result can be attained by:
1. Producing more of the kind of products the
British consumer wants.
2. Keeping up a constant supply.
3. Maintaining quality standards.
Through its Commercial Intelligence Service, this.
Department will render valuable assistance to any exporter.
Our Trade Corrunissioners' Offices in Britain are especially
well-equipped and strategically placed to handle any export
problem on behalf of Canadian exporters. Enquiries re,
garding British Trade receive prompt attention. Write to
