CANADIAN PACIFIC An Equal Division REPORTS GOOD PROGRESS By ROBERT CHANDLER MORRIS ttt "You're jukIng," almost gasped old Cy Danvers, "Yoe mean to say you give me that elegant outfit?" "Freely, gladly, and all for yourself," cheerily and sincerely responded Hec- tor Union. "Why not? I've got a liv- big to earn now. I shall not probably be back among the home folks for h year, About all I know about wood- craft anti fishing you have taught me. You're a second Isaac Walton with bait and honk—Who more worthy?" Old Cy stood in an ecstatle way, view- ing the case in which rested the finest metal jointed rod be had ever cast his eyes upon. Besides this, there was a bewildering varietrOf hooks, lines and every accessory that could be devised. "L'et me pay for It," be suggested, "1'ot on your life! Don't look ti gift horse In the mouth, Cy !" right," said the old man, "only, bear in mind—half of everything catch with this outfit comes to you." "Nonseniel" "We'll see!" Hector laughed lightly, leaving old Cy proud as a king over his opulent acquisition. Then Hector turned his thoughts and attention to a tender parting with his fiancee, Viola Blake. They were engaged, but wedded bliss seemed a long way off for them. Hec- tor had been offered a business open - Ing in the city that would require two years' diligent servitude before he could hope to qualify for much of a salary. "You'll wait for me, Viola, won't you," pathetically propounded Hector. "If It was twenty years, and loving you a little more every day that goes by," replied loyal Viola. Old Cy kept word to Hector. There was famous fishing in both creek and lake near by. Cy had an old scow and Itis leisure hours were pretty nearly all spent on the water. The Upton family received a visit from the per- sistent fisherman every other day. Then when Oy learned of the engage- ment of his favorite to pretty Viola Blake, he began un ndded distrihntron. He stopped regularly at the Blake home, hung areteed till he saw Viola, delivered a part of his catch, and, when Viola demurred at such profli- gate liberality, said simply: "It's all in the family, hector Up- ton is my partner in the outfit that landed those beauties, so it's all right, isn't it?" Viola wrote to Hector about his odd partner and Hector felt that he had a staunch friend Mid champion back home. Cy sent him a local newspa- per - containing an item narrating a prize fish he had caught, the largest ever found in Moot lake. In the stuns paper was nn acecrunt of the bur- glarizing of the town bank and an of fer of ten thousand dollars for the re- turn of a certain package of securi- ties, The thieves might add the re- fs-11rd to their plunder, If they would only produce the securities. It was a month after that when old Cy appeared at the Upton home in a great state of exeitement. He looked greatly disappointed when he found that lir. and Mrs. Upton were away for three days with some relatives at a distance. Cy fidgeted about, rubbed his frowsy head (Widow:1y and then, apparently inspired by a new thought, hurried over to the Bloke home. He found Viola trimming some bushes in the genie!). "I want you to do something for me, Viola," he blurted out. "It's about Hector." "Yes, Cy," nodded nein. "I've got some news for him that won't keep," proceeded Cy in a high strain of excitement. "He's got to come here to find nut what it is," "Why, Cy, you quite startle mei" said Viola. "You'll be more so when you know what I'm up to," chuckled Cy. "Now then, he'll come fur you. He might not for me, you see, I want you to telegraph him that you want to See 1irntlt once. "Olt, Cy," demurred Violn, "haw dare I do that? It might lend to his losing his poeition." "Ile won't want It any longer when he sees me," cried Cy in a confldeet, jubilant tone. "Don't distrust mb, Viola. I know what I'm about, and Hector will just about bless you when he knows the great fortune I've got in store for him." His persuasive eloquence prevailed and the telegram was dispetelied, Old Cy did not sleep a wink that night. He was at the Blake place fit daylight. Ile was shaking all over with suspense when Hector arrived. "You sent for me, Viola," spoke Hec- tor. otNo, I (11d," sald Cy. "Ilector, boy, you remember it was fifty-fifty in whatever I fished up with that splen, did outfit you gave lee." "Why, so you insisted," replied Hec- tor wonderingly. "Well then, I was fishing in the riv- er yesterday when my hook ceught in something. I pulled 10 to find—this," and Cy drew from under his coat a heavy manila envelope. "And what Is that, 0y," inquired Hector. "Documents, securities, damaged somewhat, but good as ever, They're the same that those hereto% stole Ad probably threw into the river as they went over the bridge.

An amazing amount of money is added to the list of uuclaimed estates every year through IllySlt•Ileith dla- ttppearatieoe, bays au Old Country Paper. Persons vanish as completely BS if they had stepped over the edge of the world,, and funds to which they are thee or become later entitled remain dormant for decades, and in the end may be recovered by those to whom they belong, inheepplied by ras- cally trustees, or eonip4etely for- go then. To facilitate the distribution of such funds it is often necessary to apply to the court for leave to pre- sume the death Of a certain person. Usually this is granted, even in cases Whore the evidence is slight, A man who had a reversionary interest in 64,000 disappeared, leaving no defi- nite trace beyond his overcoat, which was subsequently found on the side railings of Clifton Suspension Bridge. Nine years afterwards the death of the man was presumed as occurring on the date of his disappearance. In similar circumstances the death of a baronet's son was presumed fif- teen Years after he had vanished. He left London by the Irish mail for Kingstown, and nothing more was seen or heard of him. Next morning his bag and umbrella, as well as a book belonging to him, were found on a steamer, but bis ticket was never given up. Astothar man disappeared in Aus- tralia, and subsequently his two '-wives"—one of whom he had "mar- ried" in Australia and the other in New Zealand—went to England, and claimed his estate. Neither, however, was successful. The death of the man was subsequently presumed, and his estate was divided .between his two sisters. But many applications to presume death are refused as "too previous." Madame Titiens, the famous singer and tragic actress, left her large for- tune to a relative, Peter Tietjen, who had disappeared three years previous- ly. He had then left Cardiff, where he bad lived for some time, with the expressed intention of going to South America; but whether he did so could not be established. Periodically the next relatives, with a view to obtaining the actress' wealth, applied for leave to presume Tietjen's death. Not till nearly twen- ty years later, however, was it direct- ed that ,it, after proper advertising, the missing man or his heirs failed to appear, it should be assumed that he was dead. A case of a similar kind is still pending. Twenty-four years ago a gentleman, who went to London on business, Irani:died, and a month af- terwards an announcement of his death on a certain lady's yacht— which was mentioned by naine—ap- neared in several newspapors. On :the face of things this was conclusive. But no yacht of the name given WILY, registered. Two years subsequent to the dis- appearance, moreover, the lady 0010 was to have married the gentleman received by registered post an enve- lope, addressed in a strange hand, containing 7500 in notes, with iitilting curd bearing the worth; in her fianee's handwriting, "Was true to you." Several applications have been. made to presume the death of the vanished gen thititan—unsuecessfully, the court apparently holding the view that be is still in the land of the living. Some judges are averse from pre - tanning death too easily, because they have bad experience of the dangers -of this. One used to tell a strange story as a warning to younger intern - bet's 05 the Bench. I In connection with a sum of nioneY ,in Court, an application was made to him to presume the death of a man who bad gone abroad some twenty or thirty years previously and had completely vanished, Net being quite satisfied with the evidence, the judge ordered the case to stand over, stat- ing that if anything could be produc- ed to corroborate the strong pre- sumption that already existed, he would attend to it. Additional affi- davits were accordingly flied, and ultimately the death of the missing man was presumed, and his lordship made an order for the division of Mt! fund. This order was taken to the proper office to be entered, and the clerk to whom it was handed was the very person whose death had been pre- slmed before it was made! In his early days, being in some difficulty, he had fled the country. Then, after effacing himself for some years, he had returned under an assumed name. A singular feature of this incident was that he bad no previous knowl- edge of the money being in court, and that if the order had been given to another clerk, instead .of to tom, he would have been deprived of his right to it. In another case., which occurred only a few menthe ago, a man, who was legally presumed to be dead, an- nounced from South Carolina that he was very much alive. The publicity given to the application had brought him to life again. •• Sometimes, however, there is no haste. in presuming death. Perhaps the most belated of all such applica- tions was one made in 1909 in regard to a Chancery fend of d700, which Was awaiting distribution -among those entitled to it. The person whose death was then presumed had been born to .7753. Still, any uncertainty With regard to the fate of missing people where money is coecerned, is very unsatis- factory, so It is desirable, as Lord Merrivale said recently, that greater publicity should be given to inquiring for persons wanted to "bear of some- thing to their advantage," more, than three hundred dollars and and neither ca.used nor inereasnd by' reed - Myopia. not less than ten dollars, oy to bei- Illetensive tests OS stated to have prisonment for''a term not exceed- proved that shod eight, or myopia, is lug six menthe, or to both fine imprisonment, ' egalVt6W0100141i, N D UP (Diamond Ding The Diamonds are chosen by experts—they have that exquis- ite blue white color and distinctive beauty found only in Diamonds of high quality.

The resolutions committee at the convention introduced a resolution of appreciation to Mr. Joynt for "his long and veined services to the. Con- servative party." Following an outline of his efforts to have hydro power rates reduced in Huron County and a fiat rate intro- duced in Ontario on the score that hydro is n public provincial utility Mr. Joynt, in response to jokingly' insistent ealls from the audience, dis- cussed his vote in the House as a temperance man in support of 4.4 beer. "Attorney -General W. F. Nickle is - a brilliant man," said Mr. Joynt, "and one of the ablest men in all Canada. And it was because he sponsored 4.4 beer that I voted for it, I put all rny faith, my honor, my everything at stake on Mr. Nickle's word in his five-hour speech in the Horse. He said it was 'a temperance drink, Pure. and simple; and surrounded by plenty of safeguards.' It was a temperance amendment to the Ontario Temper- ance Ace.
