for capital made during the past few
months. The bank shows a healthy
increase in gold and silver coin, but
en the other hand, Government notes
and other quickly available assets
show a slight falling off. The propor-
tion of liquid assets to the liabilities
to the public is almost 50% which is
slightly less than it was a year ago,.
but is still unusually' -high. Current
loans made throughout the year
amounted to almost $129,000,000, or
$10,000,000 more than those made in
theprevious year. Considering the
many demands made upon banks dur-
ing the past few months by manu-
facturers,
ane
facturers, business men and brokeis,
the conservative attitude of the Bank
of Montreal in holding current loans to
within $15,000,000 of the previous
year's record must be regarded as sat-
isfactory. The . total Assets of the
bank .now stand at almost $245,000,000
as compared with $237,000,000 for the
previous year. Altogether the show-
ing made by the Bank of Montreal
reflects the highest praise on. the presi-
dent, general manager, and officials
connected with it. The past year
has been a somewhat trying one to
banks and the fact that the financial
storm has been weathered so success-
fully and with so little inconvenience
to the public indicates careful and
conservative banking practices.
The address of the president was a
masterly summary of financial and.
economic conditions both at home and
abroad. Mr: Meredith reviewed the
history of the bank, touched on the
trade and industrial expansion of the
Dominion, referred to the monetary',
situation abroad and throughout it' all
maintained a note of optimism" While
advocating a policy of conservatism
and caution, he expressed the opinion
that the commercial condition of Can-
ada was fundamentally sound,
h generali-
fin his discussion of the sit -
nation,
t
nation, Mr.. Meredith described. the
year 1913 as a memorable one. 'In
GreatBritain the demands --for money
'have been unusually heavy with the
result: that the rates were higher than
in other years, He pointed out that
there were many factors' effecting ;the
monetary situation, the most' notable
being. the Balkan War, the world-wide
trade activity, the.rise in 'prices of
commodities and the serious political
disturbances in France and Germany,
b"urther, the demand for gold on the
Part of several countries, such as
Egypt and .India, added to the acute-
net3s of the monetary situation,.
Coupled with this was a considerable
degree of social unrest in Great Bri-:
lain.- Another disturbing factor was
the Mexican situation."
In his'review of the trade of Can-
ada, Mr, Meredith was most optimistic,"
pointing out that the export trade is
now showing a marked -advance, while
the imports are practically stationary,
indicating thereby that' Canaria is Day -
lug her bills by tht exportation of
produce. The aggregate foreign trade
of Canada for the seven months end-
ing October was $636,000,000 as against
$580,000,000 for the same period a
year ago, while in the same period
the excess of imports over exports
have been cut down front $190,000,000
to $145,000,000. Mr. Meredith estim-
ated the value of the field crops this,
year, at present prices, at $500,000,000.
He then took up each province by
itself, showing the conditions prevail-
ing
revail
ing in each • and summarizing the
trade outlook, closing with the 101 -
lowing cutimistic summary:
"Business as a whole continues
good, Our vast resources have been
scarcely scratched, • immigration is
large, railway constructions active,
new' territory and new sources of
wealth are 'being' steadily opened up
, and the confidence of British and For -
sign capitalists in our country is un-
abated. A temporary .halt can only
refresh Canada for yet greater achieve-
ments."'

door opened, and -Sara came in with her
peculiar gliding ate -e salaamed. and stood
looking at him with a friendly, , almost
an approving smile. -
"My �mietress Is quite well; , she will
come flown to the sahib, presently." she
said. "She is very tired; but oho is not
crying any longer. Why should she cry?
Who should she be sorry? It is no mat-
ter that she is late, it is no matter that the
servants know that ehe is out alone with
Clive Harvey Sahib, and that she come
back alone .with him at a- very late hour."
She paused, the smile .still on her f: oe;
but a certain look of inquiry, of expect-
ancy, and of veiled scrutiny was in her
bleak eyes She waited for Clive to m: ke
some response: but there were times wben
Mr, Olive. Harvey could be as self -eon-
twined and as impassive as even Quilton;
and he said. nothing. Sara went on.
" My mistress is a little afraid of her
father, "the great sahib; she say a word
or two as she lay in tey arms !net now;
she think hie lordship will be angry with
her for being oat so late and alone all
by herself with you; but I soothe her
fears. I tell her that that does pot mat-
ter."
Again she paused, her eyea striving to
pierce the mask which Clive bad thrown
over his face. She saw no shrinking
there. no resentment of her freedom of
speech, nothing but impassivity. But the
fact was, Clive was scarcely listening to
her: he was thinking' oft Lady Edith, of
the coulee heshould adopt. Sara'*, smile
grew more fixed.
"My mistress is very happy:" she said in
a slow. soft voiee. I have never seen her
so ham" since she was a child and lay
on'mv boeom. She is like my own child,
sahib ; and when she is happy my heart
rejoices, and when' she grieves, my heart
aches and grows' hard, hard'-ehe touch- I
ed her heart sharply. "So 1 am very hap -
pr to -night; and I eek the sahib to be
gracious and let his servant wish him a
long life and every joy."
Olive nodded. Thank you, Sara. Will'
von tell Your mistress that I am still
here, and will be glad to see her, if she :
is not too tired?"
"Oh,she will not be too tired. sahib,'•
said ara, with a glittering smile:
Ste salaamed and left the room; but
outside the smile died from her face as
if it had been wined off, and her eyes
flashed threateningly. as if she had been
baffled by Clive's manner. Clive paced up
and down the room, full of doubt. uncer-
tainty. and a, sense of trouble. He knew I
that there was only one thing for flim to '1
do. As he heaad Lady Edith's step in the
hail. he went. with a foreed'smile,. to open
• the .door for her.

CHAPTER
Two days later the announcement of the
engagement appeared in -the Morning
Post, and the usual 'inundation .of con-
gratulatione had started; for even bef-re
the announcement appeared inthe nema-
papers. Clive'e andthe ahesteri'lghs'
friends were, of course, made aware of
the feet, and there was a consensus - of
opinion that the match was in-overy"'way'
a most suitable one Clive's friends in
the House, and indeed many of hie poli-
tical foes, sought an opportunity 10 shake
him by the hand and express their hearty
good wishes, for. Clive was - popular with
all the parties into which: the House of
Commons was now split; and Lady 'Edith
was universally admirer.
Of course, Lord Standen succeeded in
button -holing Olive. It was at a reception
of the Speaker's; and: the 'old man wa•s',
triumphant and jubilant over the fulfil -
went of bis prophecy.
"What did I tell you, my dear fellow?"
he demanded witha chuckle. Yon were
half inclined to 'be offended, and think me

worn well. And yet he had a lot of

Clive suppressed an expression of`san.
