The June fire losses of Canada, and
the United States aggregeted $20,691,-
950. That is about six and a half mil-
lion more than the losess of June, 1910.
The losses for the half year were $129,-

for 1910 the. total was $99,228,900.
According to the ItTew York Spectator,
the suicide rate ief United States cities
decreased 19.7 per 100,000 a population
during 1910, against an average of 21.0
for 1909, and 21.8 for 1908. The present
doWnward.tendency of the suicide curve
is, not, 'however, likely to be perman-

In the first six months of 1911 the
railway, industrial and mining corpora-
tions of the United States issued new
securities to the amount of $1,229,107,-
950. That is a total of $180,000,000 in
excess of the figures of the eorrespond-

The explanation is now made that the
bnilding of six cruisers by Germany in
the years 1912.17 will not increase the
fleet strength, they taking the places
of the Kaiserin .Augusta and five eras-
ers of the Herta class, which have been
withdrawn to become school ships. The
number of German cruisers will remain
20 and not 26, as alarmist reports have
estimated.

She eralled gently, and flitted away,
leaving Stuart deep in happy thoegft.
His spirite rose as the picture Of obine-
ful future floated before him, and his
heart was filled with gretitnde toward
Vane. Without her help, it woule have
been a hard fight; but now his fears
were lessened, for Ide darling woad

Sir Douglas Gerant, walhing through
the hall, glanced at the invalid lying
basic in tbe chair, his taco illumined
with the flood ef happiness that thrilled
"You look better, tituert," he
abruptly, approaehing the young man.
"1 am feeling splendid; Stuart re-

dryly,

Stuart said, with a laugh, "end here she
is. Cousie Vane, see how much good
you have done rna Sir Douglas has
complimented me with aimeet profes-
sional jealousy."
Miss charteris smiled, and,seating
herself, opened her book, while Sir
Douglas retraced his steps through the
hall to the front entrance, an1 walked
thence aeross the sweep of lawn to the
lodge gates.
"So the wind is in that quarter!" hte
mused, while a frown contracted his
brow. "1 am sorry and disappointed, He
is a good lad, worthy of a better woman
than that proud, selfish creature. Well,

here the better. I shall grow Um fond
of Sholto's son if 1 stay much longer."
He walked briskly across the sawn,
then turned into the avenue, and ap-
proached. the gates. The sun was beat-
ing down on the hot, dusty lane, the
lodge -keeper's wife was standing, her
arms akimbo, talking to some one teas-
ing wearily against the iron pillar.
"Good -morning, sir," she said, courte-
eying. "May I make bind as to ask how
the young squire is this morning?"
"Better—mueh better," returned Sir
Douglas.

Vane opened her 'fan and sat back;
her eyes were fixed on the lovely pic-

tumult of auger, vexation and jealousy.
To find her plans upset, Iter• hope of

and ',she must meet this woman. A deep
flush pread over Vane's cheeks.
She shet her fan quickly, and looked
(=Musty at her sleeping cousin. A
thought had suddenly come to her mind.
After all, she had not been so fooliale
for was she not to eneet Margery alone,
With no iofluence to work against hers?
Could she not manage as to rouse, s!ty,
if not the demon of jealousy, at least
the spirit of pride? The girl had pride,
Vane was eompelled to admits—she had
not forgotten Margery's -dignity that
day in the court yard, nor the graceful
hauteur and ease with which eha htul
moved away. Wordy warfare was not
unknown to hins Charter's, and it would
be strange indeed if .she :could' not plant
some poisoned arrowa in this presump-
tuous country girl's breast..
Stuart could not write a line --that
was fortunate; he would , not be able
to leave the castle for three or four
days at the least—that asp was fortun-
ate. Vane- felt her spirit e rise again,
