The September losses by fire in Can-
ada were the lowest of any month of
this year, except February, being only
$894,125. The total for nine months of
the year, however, is $18,003,000, being
about $3,230,000 lees than the correspon-
ding period of 1909.

There is some talk that King Manuel

The York Loan shareholders will, it
is expected, receive another dividend of
perhaps, 25 per cent., but it will prob-
ably be deelared about the end of next
year. It is said that assets of about a
quarter of a million are yet unsold. The
winding -up process in a business of this
kind is naturally a very slow one.
The price of platinum took a jump
of $2,50 an ounce the other day and
now stands at $30. Platinum is now the
most expensive metal used by jewellers.
Considerable of the platinum now pro-
duced is used in scientific instruments
and in photography, ani the supply is
not equal to the demand.
-Me output of gold of the Rand for
September was 046,899 'fine ounces, val-
ued at 42,747,853, The total output for
1909 was 7,280,542 ounces. The output
for the nine months of this year is 5,-
597,387 ounces. It is probable that this
year will show a considerable increase
over the total of last.

and she tells it in her latest book "The
Devil's Motor." Marie looks ahead to a
time when this diabolie ride will be tak-

that time, says Marie, "there will be no

Evno Azeff, who led the double life
of. a revolutionary Socialist leader and
c. political pollee spy, has at last paid
the penalty. He was an unlovely char-
acter. While in the pay of the Ruesicui
police, he plotted with the revolution-
ists attempts upon the lives of the Czar
and many prominent Imperialiete, be-
traying his fellow-workere to the author-
ities, many of them being brought to the
scaffold. The terrorist committee had
long ago sentencea him to death, but he
was aided by the police to eseepe to
the Orient. :Nemesis dogged his foot-
steps, 4owever, and aecompliebed his
death at Wiesbaden.

CHAPTER VI.
Mr. Craddock not only had his office
in this city, but he livecl there also. Very
few people live in the city, and at night,
as eurly say as eight o'cloek, the great
thoroughfares—which have been during
the day so thronged by a hurrying, scut-
tling crowd . that one can scarcely
make • one's way along the pave-
ment, — are so deserted that, if
you are observant, you may see eats ac-
tually running across the roadways.
But Mr. Craddock lived in the city
because he liked to be near his work.
and he liked quiet at night.
His office was situated in a little
dingy court leading out of Fenchurch
street, and here the old gentleman whom
Jean hact seen sneaking osit of the
Wold lived, if existence in a room ten
by nine, which servea as a bedroom and
drawing room, and parlor combined, can
be called living.
Mr. Craddock was an attorney, but he
did not do much in the way of the law.
Ile was reported to be rich, very rich,
and some persons professed great euries-
ity as to how he got his money and hoer
he employed it.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Elijah Crad-
dock svas a money lender.

.a strange smile.
"You surely don't mean te suggest
that it is of any use trying to make
money out of him?" he eaid with a
laugh. "Lord Villiarel If any man

Don't speak too loud, Royce; that old
cat of a housekeeper is not so deaf as
she pretends to be. Keep his two mil-
lion, will he? I'na not so sure of that!"
and he fixed his small black eye -a on
the dark keen ones above him. •
CHAPTER VII.
Royce turned and shot a keen glance
at old Craddock, then bent over the
fire again.
"I'm not sure that Lord Stunt Vil-
liers will keep his two millions Royce,"
repeated Craddock. He climbed on to
the stool and'stared down at Om young-
er man, with his head on one side, and
his small beady eyes, like a raven's, "I'm
not so • sure, Royce!"
"The Weld was not entailed, 1 think."
"There !" exclaimed old Craddock,
addressing the clock with an impish
tone of triumph—"there's a man for you
--don't ask any questions! Not he!
Works down to the root of the matter
like a mite! Right, Royce; right, Mor -
daunt, my boy; the Wold was not ens
tailed. The old earl could do what he
liked with it, every rod of it, and ev-
ery penny of hie money! He could leave
it to me—to me if he liked—"
"Instead of which, he left to Stuart
Villiers," said Mordaunt Royce. "I re-
member you drew the will yourself."
"1 didn" assented old Craddock, "and
a very good will it
"Leaving it all to Lord Villiers,"
said Mordaunt Royce. "Well, I don't
see—no one disputes the will, I sup-
pose "
"No one, at present," said the old
man. "Listen to the points carefully.
There's two millions of money in this
business. The Earl of Arrowfield —fin-
sensely rich and living entirely alone,
posseseed of a vast fortuue, quite omen.
cumbered, quite unentailed. Vinio is he
to lea fe it to? As far as the world
knows, his nearest relation is Stuart Vile
liars—a young man he doesn't get on
with, a man hehas quarreled with —
but still his nearest kith and kin, and
his natural heir. Point on& Royce. Now,
then, it was not generally known, Royce,
that the Earl of Arrovefield was mar-
ried. Ile married beneath him—out of
pique, they say—to annoy a woman who
had jilted him. It was just like him
Anyhow, his wife and he did at agree.
They separated, Royce—but- not before
a and was born. A daughter. Point
two."
Royce nodded.
"Yes; so that tboro were two relativas
nearer than Stuart Villiara."
"Yes, but the countess died, and the
slaughter also" Sala Royce.
"Yes; the countess died, 1 know, and
the daughter, so it was enderstood; but
who saw her die—who buried her? He
didn't go to his wife's funeral, he didn't
go to hie daughter's funeral—if she ever
was buried. Anybody might have told
him that they were dead, and he would
have believed it—juert because he want-'
ed to."
"Then you think," mid Royce, slowly,
"that the daughter is alive?"
"No," said old Craddock; "I think she
is dead now; but I don't think she died
when he thought she slid, and if she
dieln't all lents of things might have
happened! She might nave married —
might have had a child; if eo, that
child, supposing it to be alive, Would

herself died, there is no Aoubt about
that; the daughter is supposed to have
died—"
"There is doubt about that?"
"Yes!" said the old, man, sullenly,
stubbornly. "Royce, I believe she lived
to marry and give birth to the heir of
all this property, but witere Is she?"
and he stretelied out his skinny lianas,
"No trace of her at all?"
"Not the faintest. She disappeared
as eompletely as if—if se heel Ikon a
shadow," eaid Isfr, Craddock.
Royce was silentf ro a moment, then
he laughed,
"It is a pretty problem, with two
fades!, To find the earns last will and
to find the person in whose favor it
was made! Most people consider one
question of that kiwi difficult enough,"
he added.
"But not you; not you, Royce!" said
tbe old man, clutching his arm eagerly.
"Not you You won't make much of
it; you're too clever! And I taught you,
didn't I, Boyce'elt? And look at the
money that's to be made out of it!
Thousands! We might make terms with
the person whose favor ethe will is in,
or with Stuart Villiers himself; it could
be worked either way."
"If you had the 'mil and, the pewee
to whom the old earl really left his mon-
ey," said Mordaunt Royee, He spoke
dreamily, with his eyes fixed on the fire,
his opera hat held before his lips, his
long, white hands playing a soft tune
Cal the crown.
The old man watched him closely, nar-
rowly,
"You're thinking of something, Royce "
he declared in his shrill suppreesed
treble. "You're thinking of something,
I know you are! You're at work on it
already, eh? I knew you'd take and
hang on to it; that's why I told you.
I said to myself, here's e, case for Royce,
this is the sort of business he'll take to
at onee. Don't I know him? Didn't I
train him up and teach him—"
The young man took out his watch;
a handsome repeater,- in gold, having
a plain but costly chain affixed.
"I must get 'back," he said, quietly,
passing by the old man's encomiums.
"Lord Dewsbury has a party at his
some, and they expect me."
"Ahl" said the old man, eyeing him
half -admiringly, halhimpatientIy. •And
you are going to spend the evening with
a viscount and otaer noblemen, and
you'll hold your head as high as any of
'em, ruffle it with the best of 'em, and
win their money of 'em, eh, Royce.' and
gap theni on the back and call'em
'Dewsbury,' and 'Pollution,' ea if they
were mere nobodies; and they won't
mind it, but be proud to Claim the
friendship of such a clever, handsome,
accompliehed fellow as Mordant Royce!
Good lordj how surprised they'd be if I
dropped in and said, in a quiet, friendly
sort of way, `I picked this young gen.
tleman out of the gutter, my lords; he
used to sell fusees; whet do you think
of me as a tutor, eh?" They'd be sur-
prised, Royce, eh?"
"I dare say," assented the young man
with perfect cooluees, and lifting Itis
mustache by way of a smile. "But per-
haps they wouldn't; such queer thlngs
happen every day. Good night," and with
a smile of adieu, he walked quickly out.
Mordaunt Royce strode on up Cheap-
side and past St. Paul's, up Fleet street
and the Strand, and into Pall Mall. He
stopped on the north side, at a small
row of houses nestling among the club
palaces, and rang the bell.
A footman In plain livery opened the
door, bowed respectfully, and took
Royce's hat and coat, and Royce walked
up the stairs, as if he were familiar with
the house,
Opening a door ort tae first floor, he
entered a splendidly furnished room,
brilliantly lighted, in watch half -a -dozen
men were sitting smoking; some of them
engage1 with eards at a. square table,
one lolling on the sofa, and anotlaer
playing on the piano.
The appearance of the tall, weladiess-
ed figure in the doorway was greeted
with exclamations of welcome.
"Here he is!" cried one. "Come Mt,
Royce! Where have you been?"
'Oh, don't ask him" exclaimed an-
other, banteringly. "Yoani get nothing

and he laughed a merry, catelese laugh
which chimed in with the music.

Miniature Railroad in England.
One of the smallest railways in the
world, aside frcm the miniature eye -
terns in the summer parks, is a pri-
vate line in England, which runs from
Belderton to Eaton hall. The halt,
as well as the railway, belongs to the
Duke of Westminster.
There are two engines on the Eaton
Hall Railway, the largest weighing
about four tons with a tank capacity
of seventy gallons.
The single passenger car is twenty
feet long and has a seating capacity
of sixteen passengers. There are a
number of freight cars used in haul-
ing coal and other supplies. The
little trains make regular runs, con-
necting with the trains on the Great
Western Railway.

CALLOUSNESS IN HOSPITAL.
(The Porum.)
Disregard. for the needless suffering of
charity patients, especially children can-
not possibly be condoned, or excused. In
spite of the greet and noble work done
by the hospitals and free elinies, there is
occasion for shame and indignation when
we have to stand by and see helpless
children with broken limbs being twisted
and turned and pulled and jerked around
with no one to raise a voice of protest
and no law to invoke to mitigate their
needless suffering.
I know of many city hospitals where
this cruel practice still obtains, of bone -
setting without the aid of a. little gas
or chloroform to ease the sufferer, and
the exclute in every case is the need of
economy. Yet the material would cost
but a few cents —probably less than the
cigar that the operator lights when the
clinks is over—and this paltry SUM, and
the callousness •of the hospital authori-
ties, are all that stand between the ag-
onized patient and a painless operatiose
