The representative in Ontario is: W. M. Jones, 32 Adelaide street east, Tor- onto, The first proceeding is the com- pletion of the preliminary informa- tion form, which will contain the ap- plicant's military record, his occupa- tion in civil life, his knowledge of farming and other matters that will help., the qualification _committee to decide whether it wit! be desirable In his own interest, and that of the state, for him to be assisted in ac- quiring land, The P. i, F, is inspected by the qualification committee, and it may be necessary for the applicant to ap- pear in person before the board. if he is not able to appear there the cum• mittee may appoint a representative to interview him and make a reran- ; ntendation, Broadly speaking, any soldier or 1 sailor pf the Canadian, Imperial or i British Colonial Forces who served in an actual theatre of war, such as France or Mesopotamia, or outside i the country in which he enlisted (that is if he went to England frond' Canada) is entitled to participate in the benefits of the Soldier Settlement Act, or, if a British subject resident in Canada before the war, and served in the forces of any of His Majesty's Allies, such as the United States army or that of France, if he was in an actual theatre of war or left • fhe country in which he enlisted, he may participate. Canadians who widows of any of the above are also entitled to benefit under the act. After the applicant's eligibility from the standpoint of military ser- vice is determined the qualification comninittee will investigate his plhysi- nal condition, general fitness and agriculture experience, When the applicant has been granted a qualification certificate he may apply to the loan advisory com- mittee for financial assistance should he 'desire to purchase laird, Ile may have selected the particular parcel of land he desires the. 'Soldier Set Element Board to purchase for hits, or he will be furnished with a li'st of lauds for sale in the particular prow ince in which he desires to settle, and snake a choice from that. The committee will appraise the land with regard to its agricultural possibilities, and if, it is satisfactory and in keeping with the soldier's ability to comply with the financial requirements of the act, the, bund will be secured , for him. The loan committee is empowered to loan the settler on the purchase of land up to $4500. The settler is re- quired to pay 10 per cent, cash down on the purchase, but the committee may recommend to the board that the ten per cent. payment be halved in the case of a married man who has had agricultural experience and is regarded as a particularly desirable setttler. This loan is repayable in twenty-five years. After the settler has secured his land he may apply to the loan com- mittee for assistance in equipping his farm, The loan committee may loan him money up to $2000 for the purchase of live stock, implements an dother equipment. This sum is repayable in four equal annual in- stalments beginning the third year, and no interest is charged during the first two years. There is also further financial as- sistance. The settler may apply for a loan up to $1000 for the erection of buildings. This loan is repayable in twenty-five years. Interest at the rate of live per cent is charged on all these loans. Returned soldiers who require fur- ther training will be given a course in practical farming.

Growing des- perate, I summoned all my strength for one tremendous effort, et the same time holdinghis wrist in a vice -like grip, forcing his hand higher and turn- in gthe revolver more and more in his direction. Suddenly there was a flash, —a sharp report,—and he fell heavily to the floor, dragging me down upon him. r'Por an instant 1 was too much stunned and bewildered to realize what had happened, but a glance at my op- ponent revealed the situation. He lay motionless where he had fallen, and a ghastly wound over the right eye told the terrible story. Dazed with horror, 1 placed any hand over itis heart, but there was no notion, no life, he was deadi The awful truth forced itself upon me. Mad and blind with rage, I had turned the weapon upon him and it had discharged,—whether by some sudden movement of his hand, or by the accidental pressure of my own fin- gers upon the trigger, God alone knows, I do not1 One fact 1 could not then, nor ever can, forget; it was my hand that gave - the weapon its deadly aim, however 'blindly or unwitt- ingly, and the blood of any brother whoa I had wronged and defrauded note lay at my door, "The agony of remorse that fol; •w- ed was something beyond descri,,tion, beyond any suffering of which l had ever dreamed; but suddenly a th,ucht Clashed upon me which added • ew horror, causing me to spring to my feet cold with terror, while great heads of perspiration gathered on any b .'w, When that terrible scene should b^ re- vealed, not alone in the approaching morning light, but in the light of past events which, if the last words spoken by those lips now sealed in death were true, could no longer be kept s2.cret, what would be the world's verLct?

Kneeling beside the dead lean, I 1 examined the wound. The bullet had entered above the right eye and passed downward conning out at the base of the braid; from both wounds the blood was flowing in a slow, slug- gish stream, Drawing a large hand- kerchief from my pocket, i bound it tightly ' about the head over both wounds, knotting it firmly; then carry- ing the body into the tower -roan, 1 made sure that all doors were locked, 1 and proceeded to put 'into execution 1 the plan so suddenly formed. By this i time I was myself, and though the task• before was neither easy nor pleasant to perform, 1 went about it as calmly and methodically as though it were some ordinary business transaction. As ex- peditiously as possible 1 removed the dead man's clothing and my own, which 1 then exchanged, dressing the lifeless form in the clothes I had worn on the preceding day, even to the dressing -gown which 1 had put on upon retiring to my apartments, while 1 Boned his somewhat travel -worn Suit of tweed. Having completed this grue- some task, I left the body in much the same position in which it had origin- ally fallen, lying slightly upon the r'ght side, the right arm eextended on the floor, and to give the appearance of suicide, I placed my own revolver— first emptying one of the chambers— near his right hand. On going to my desk for the revolver, I discovered the explanation of my brother's words when he said that he had already un- done any work of the preceding day, the final act of the farce I had carried out, lin the terrible excitement of those moments his meaning escaped my tatnd now it wan clear. My own will, ex- ecuted with such care, and which early in the evening 1 had left upon my desk, was gone. That he had destroy- ed it in his wrath and scorn t had a- bundant •proof a little later, upon in• cidentally ii"dng in the small grate in that room the partially burned frag- ments of the document,. which 1 left to tell their own tale. "Having satisfactorily disposed of Hugh elidntvaring(as the dead pian uiiW Teemed to my over-weough imagi- nation,) 1 made preparation for my immediate departure. This occupied little time. 'There was fortunately some cash in the safe which I took; all drafts and papers of that nature I left, —they were of value - ,to liugh Mainwaring, andheas dead]Asthe cash old w, d 1 .sh n�oh beinadequate, however, for my needs, 1 decided after considerable delibera- tion to take the family jewels, though not without apprehension that they might lead to any detection, as they finally did. 'These I put in a small box covered with ordinary wrapping - paper to attract as little attention as possible, and, having completed any preparations, 1 removed the bandage from the dead man's head and threw it with the private keys to my library into the metallic box Which had meld the jewels. 'Then donning the black wig and mustache which my visitor had thrown aside on disclosing his iden- tity, together with a long ul:ter which he had left in the tower -room, I took one farwell look at the familiar apart- ments and their silent occupant and stole noiselessly out into the night. 1 remained on the premises only long enough to visit the small lake in the rear of the house, into which I threw the metallic box and its contents, then, following the walk through the grove to the side street, I left Fair Oaks, as I well knew, forever. While yet, on the grounds 1 met my own coachman, but he failed to recognize me in my disguise. My plans were already form- ed. I had come to the conclusion that my late visitor and the caller of the preceding afternoon, whose card bore the name of J. Henry Carruthers, were one and the sante. My secretary had stated that Carruthers had come out from the city that day, so my appear- ance at the depot, dressed in his own disguise, would probably attract no at- tention. 1 was fortunate enough to reach the depot Just as. the two trains were about to pull out; the suburban train which would leave in three Min- utes for the city, and the north -bound express due to leave five minutes later. 1 bought a ticket for New York, then passeang around the rear of the subur- ban train, quietly boarded the express, and before the discovery of that night's fearful tragedy 1 was speeding towards the great West, "But go where 1 might, from that ifour to this, i have never been free from agonizing remorse, nor have 1 been able for one moment to banish from my memory the' sight of that face —the face of mybrother, kills ' my owns stand, ana discovery which 1 made withiin the first few hours of ny flight made my remorse ten times deeper.
