CHAPTER XXVIII. • If Roy had seemed unsympathetic as they drove home it was net because hee:.3. not feel keeely. His , mind was far too much eagrossed to notice Oecil much, and that, per- haps, was a geed thieg, for just then in her great dejection any or- dinary acute observer could not have failed to read her story. Roy slept little that nig-ht, and went up to business the next mere, ing in anything but a pleasant frame of mind, for he could hardly resist_ his longing to go straight to Sigrid, and see how thiegs were with her. When he cutest(' the shop Darnell was on hie usual place a the left -heed counter, but. Frithiof was arranging some songs on a stand in the center, and Roy was at once struck by a change that had come over him. Then it chanced that Frithjof came into his room with a message, "There is a Mr. Carruthers wait- ing to speak to you," he said, head- ing loins a card; "he has two manu- script songs which he wishes to sub- mit to you." "Tell him I am engaged," said Boy. "And that as for songs, we have enough to last us for the next two years." "They are rather good; he has shown them to me. You might just glanoe through them," suggested Frithiof. "I shall write a book some day on the sorrows of a music -publish- er!" said Roy. "How many thou- sanda of composers do you think there can be in this overcrowded country? No, I'll not see the man; I'm in too bad a temper; but you can just bring in the songs, and I will look at them and talk to you at the same time." Frithiof returned in a minute, carrying the neat manuscripts which meant so much to the composer and so little, alas! to the publisher. Roy glanced through the first. "The usual style of thing," he said. "Moon, man, and maid, rill and hill, quarrel, kisses—all based on `So the Story Goes.' I don't think this is worth sending to the reader. What's the other? Words by Swinburne: `If Love were what the Rose is.' Yes, yon are right; this one is original; I rather like that refrain. We will send it to Martino and see what he thinks of it. Tell Mr. Carruthers that he shall hear about it in a month or two. And take him back this moos- . light tiffair. Don't go eet ; he can wait on tenter -hooks a little longer. Of course they have told me at home about all this rues on Mon- day, and I saint you to promise me one thing." "What is that?" said Frithiof. That you won't worry about this miserable five -pound note. That, if yo never think of it again, you will remember that My father and I both regard thio accident as if :b had never happened." "Then you too take his view of the affair 7" said Frithiof. "Yes, it seems to use the only reasonable one; but don't let us talk of a thi.g that is blotted out and done away. It makes no difTe•- lence whatever to Inc. and you must promise that you won't let it con e between us." I"You are very geed," said Fri - thief, sadly; and, rememberkag the hopelessness of argils• iewith one ' who teak this view of 'his trouble, Ise said no more, but went Mesh to the poor composer, whosu ease lengthened when he saw that h:s hands were not empty, but bright- ened into radiant hop e as • Frithjof explained that one song would real- ly have the rare privilege of being actually looked at. His interven- . .. had, at any rate, snvd Mr. Carruthers from that hard fate. His reflections were interrupted by the entrance of two customers, evidently a very recently married couple, who had come to choose a piano. Once again he had to sum- mon Rey, who stood patiently dis- I coursing on the various merits of :different makers until at last the purchase had been made. Thee, enable any longer to resist the fey- ' erish impatience which had been consuming .him for- so long, he snatched up his hat, left word with Frithjof that he should be absent for an hour, and getting into a han- som drove straight to the model lodgings. He felt a curious sense of incon- gruity tas he walked aeroes the court -yard; this great business-Iike place was, as Sigrid had once said, very much like a hive. Am air ef inditetry and orderliness pervaded it, and Roy, in his eager impati- ence, felt as if he had no rig ht there I at a11. This feeling cast a sort of chill over his happiness as he knocked at the familiar doer. A voice within bade him enter, and, g gfrom h,'hnd t1ie a,pae- !ese screen, he found Sigrid herd at work ironing. She wore a large j brown holland apron and bib over her black dress, her sleeves were turned back, revealing her round, white arms up to the elbow, and the table was strewn with collars and cuffs. 1 "I thought it was Mrs. Hallifield come to scrub the kitchen," she ex -1 claimed, "or 1 should not have, cried 'Come in!' so unceremoni-1 eusly. Cecil told us you were ev.- pect•ed last night," 1 "Will you forgive use for coming at this hour?" he began, eagerly. "I knew it was the only time I was sure to find you at home, and I couldn't rest till I had seen you." "It was very good of you to! 00/510," she seid, coloring a little; "you won't mind if I just finish my work while we talk?" 1 "I have, seen Frithiof," Ise said, rather nervously, "He is looking I bettor than 1 heti expected after 80 ti;ca c ."

"Hush!" he said, imploringly; "wait a little Iciness.

It would say that I had so entangled you that you could not free yourself, and that, in spite of Frithiof's disgrace, you were oblig- ed to marry me. And that shall never be said." "For Heaven's sake don't let the miserable gossip, the worthless opinion of outsiders, make our lives miserable. 'What do we caro for the world? It is nothing to us. Let them say what they will; so long as they only say lies what dif- ference does it make to us?" "You don't know what you are! talking -about," she said, and for the first time the tears seethed to her eyes. "Your life has been all sheltered and happy. But out thereBergen coldness and contempt, and the knowledge that oven death did not shoeld my father from the poisonous tongues of the slanderers. Lies can't make the things they say true, but de you think that lies have no power to harm you? no power to torture you? Ohl before you say that you should just try," "But don't you see," he urged, "that it is only a form of pride which you are giving way tog It is only that -which is keeping ua apart. "And what 11 1! is," she repliod, her eves flashing. "A woman bas a right to be proud itt such mat- ters. Besides, it is not only pride. It is time, I can't think of happi- ness while Frithiof is miserable. My first duty is to him ; and how could flaunt my happiness in Itis face? how could 1 now bring back to him the remembrance of all his past troubles?" "At lenst wait," pleaded Roy onset more; "at least let r.r once more esk Valle final answer a few months hence," "I will wait until Terithiof's name s sleeved," she seid, ressematelv.

That the Bank of Montreal is one of our oldest as well as one <if our meet important financial institu- tions, was emphasized by the fact that the Annual Report held this week was the 95th in the Bank's history. The Bank is yearly °cm- ! Dying a more iniportant place in the fieancial, commercial and -in- dustrial expansion of the Dominion. The Annual Report presented, which covered the year ending the 31st October, 1912, showed net pro- fits for the year of 811,518,000, which with a balance brought forward of $1,855,000 and the premiums on new - stock amounting to $334,000, make a total of over $5,207,000 available for distribution. Ouarterly divi- dends and two bonuses absorbed $1,894,000. The sum of $1,000,000 was transferred to rest account, , $1,000,000 to contingent account, ,a,nt.1 $511,000 expended on bank premises, which left a balance to be carried forward of $802,000. The Bank has now total assets of nearly $237,000,000, making it one of the I strongestfinancial institutions on 1 the continent. During the year it increased its paidup capital to $16,- 000,000, increased its rest account to a similar suns, made large gains in deposits and. in current loans, opened a number of new branches, and otherwise kept pace with the growing prosperity of the Domin- ion, The fact that the Bank made current loans of nearly $120,000m0ol shows that there is a big demand in the country for banking accommo- dation, and that the Bank of Mont -1 real is doing its full share in eater- ing to the business needs of the communities where its branches, are located. The year was the first under the general management of Mr, H. V.1 Meredith, and the fact that the profits for the year were some $242.000 greater than those of the' previous year, must be regarded as not only satisfactory to the share- holders, but as complimentary to the foresight and business sagacity of of the General Manager.

Its increase in paidup capital and rest accounts, its gain in deposits total assets and other matters, makes it peculiarly fitted to take a leading place in the fin. ancial and industrial expansion of the country The addresses of the President and General Manager were both comprehensive reviews of the fin- ancial commercial and industrial conditions prevailing throughout the Dominion. That of the Presi- dent, which referred to the Domin- ion as a whole, was a masterly sum- mary of the conditions preyailine at the present time. The address was optimistic in its tone, Mr. An- gus declaring that conditions throughout the Dominion were un- usually sound and that satisfactory progress might be expected as long as present conditions prevailed. Mr. Angus touched upon the agri- cultural expansion, the increase in immigration, the growth of manu- facturing, railroad development, the shipping industry, and, practi. cally speaking, every phase of our commercial and industrial expan- 5100. Mr. Meredith in his address, re- ferred more particularly to the growth of the Bank and the bank- ing business. He touched on the forthcoming revision of the Bank Act, and intimated that there might be a few minor changes, al- though in the main the present Act 'was giving satisfactory service. He also dealt in an able and compre- hensive way with the increased cost of living and the charge that the banks throughout the Dominion were not paving sufficient atten- tion to the farming communities, He denied the charge that the banks encouraged farmers to be- come depositors and not borrow- ers, and stated that in so far as his Bank was concerned many mullion were on loan to farmers and semi! traders. Altogether, the addresses of the two heads of the Bank, like the • Annual Report itself, were emin- ently satisfactory to the share- holders present, and should prove equally so to business men through- out the country as well, SAVED BY A HORSE. The Animal Showed Alniost Human insiders ta ntlin g. Hamdanie, an Arab horse owned by Pierre Penaficline during his tra- vels in the Moslem East, was a uni- versal favorite on account of his docility and intelligence. Mr. Ponafidine says, in "Life in the Moslem East," that it; was a pretty sight to see him tease his groom when the man was cleaning the sta- bles. With his teeth he would slyly undo the man's belt, extract his handkerchief from the capacious Arab pocket, or take off his groom's hat and hold it in his teeth high up almost out of reach. Another time Ise showed an al- most human understanding. Mrs. Ponafidine was riding him. We were returning from a ride one es -ening, anti as we entered the town, we had to pass through an archway and titer: turn sharply into o narrow lane. Just as we entered the arch, with my wife leading the party, a band of children came i•ae- ing down the lane, and one after the other, as they turned the cor- ner, they ran into Haindanie, who was cantering and, as usual, pranc- ing. I turned cold with horror as I foresaw the awful accident that seemed unavoidable. The wise crea- ture understood the .danger as well as 1 ditl, and in a second stopped short and threw himself back, sit- ting literally like a dog on his haunches with fore legs well spread, receiving one after another the chil- dren, who ran full into his arms, as it were. Hard as the position was for horse and rider, he kept it up until the last child had run round the corner into him, The little ones picked themselves up, quite uneon- scions of the fate from which the horse's kindness had saved them.

Dry farming is a scientific term used by eolleges and authors to difk•rentiato between the new sys- tem of agriculture and the older methude need in the rain netts and p11t'pese 01 moisture and fertility conservation iii known to be neces- sary for at least 93 per cent. of the agricultural acreage of the world, and the dry farming enegress was brought into existence for the pur- pose of working out these problems and remedies for the troubles con- fronting farmers of the sub -humid districts, or in districts where there are frequent droughts or failing soils, Dry farming is frac from mystery of any kind ! Any farmer On any soil and in any elite:Ile can increase his acreage production, crop quality and bank. account, Dry farming methods can be util- ized with profit upon every acre in every diseriet of the world. eThe phrase dues 1105 50000 the opera- tion of terms where no moisture is obtainable, but does mean the util- ization of such tillage methods as are, frons time es time, dome:las:le- ad to be most efficient in the re- duction of evaporation niel the pro- ductimi of a praotical storage res- ervoir in the soil,•the utilization of minimum or untimely moisture, etc, Good Feed for Young Lambs, A geed flockmaster holds that for young lambs wheat bran is most ex- cellent to begin with, and after they become stronger the bran should be mixed with cornmeal in equal quarters. He says that oat- meal, or oats when they can eat it,. should be added to balance the re - thin for oats is nearly a balanced food itself. After growing a little they will shell their own corn, if riven to them on' the cob. The lambs that are to be raised on the farm should net be forced so fast, They need plenty of food, but the grain ration should be small and no eorn should be used. They should be given plenty of exercise and an abundance of 'good pasture if possible. Corn tends to fatten and will produce uncertain breeders of short season. Wheat, bran and oats are probably the two safest materiels of food that can be used. When the grass becomes stronger and good in the spring grain feeding is not needed for those lambs that are to remain on the farm, and only the corn will remain as the dry feed ration for the market lambs. The grass is better than any other nitrogenous food. Buying M ash in ery. If you are going to bey a new machine for the (arm don't take the dealer's word for all of it.
