A Lot of Monsey
BY SOPHIE KERB,
PART IV.
Not by farthest reach of fancy could
,Anne place Louis in the new existence
opening before her. Louis in this
house, waited on by Bowen! Louis
in that soft -cushioned car. Louis'
.' hands white, and soft and flabby lila
'Roy Torrance's. Louis in that dining
room, looking at her across a silver
bowl of hothouse roses! No—such a
vision was so wild as to be ludicrous.
Next morning Mr, Finle and Mr.
Grayson called. It was pleasant to
se$1fr. Fink again; in• all this strange -
Riess he seemed like an old friend.
Only now he was subdued, a deferen-
tial satellite for Mr. Grayson, who was
very much in command of the meeting.
An imposing person, Mr. Grayson,
almost a personage. He unbent some-
what in his greeting to Anne.
"I trust you passed a restful night,"
he said. "With nothing to disturb
you."
Anne went to the thing uppermost
in her mind: "Mrs. Torrance made a
scene and said I was probably an im-
postor, but her son hushed her up.
Mr. Grayson, tell me what it's all
about. Why is she here? Why does
she stay Has she any real chine on
me or my great-uncle?"
"Mrs. Torrance has no claim on you
whatsoever. She is the stepdaughter
of Mr. Andrew :Thorn's deceased
wife's sister. Mrs. Thorne, having no
children of her own, was interested
in the young girl and, after her un-
fortunate marriage to the man Tor-
rance, assisted her occasionally. When
Mrs. Thorne became an invalid, as she
was for some time before her death,
eighteen years ago, Mrs. Torrance and
her child same here to live. After
Mrs. Thorne died she remained as
housekeeper, liberally paid. The boy
developed traits of irresponsibility

House. Since Mr. Thorne's death Mee,
Torrance has chosen to consider her-
self an aggrieved person, contending
that Mr. Thorne promised to provide
for her in isis will. There is nothing
to prove that Mr. Thorne made - any
such promise; in fact, there is proof
to the exact contrary."
"lie didn't leave her anything at
all?"
"Nothing."
"And she hadn't saved anything?"
Mr. Grayson regarded Anne with.
approval. This was a sensible young
woman who seemed capable of follow-
ing
ollowing a distinct line of thought. "No;
whatever she has earned she has spent
on her son, who is, unfortunately, a
bad lot. And now, Miss Thorne, if
you are ready I want to take up the
provisions of your great-uncle's will
with you, and -acquaint you with the
extent of the estate."
Mr. Fink hastened to open a bulky
brief case, produeedpapers,docunsents,
long envelopes bulging and tied, fold-
ers, He handed. Anne a good-sized
printed pamphlet. "There is the will." I
"The will! I thought wills were
written."
"The original is written. Butit is
customary in en estate of this size to
have printed copies made," explained
Mr. Grayson patiently.
"He left nothing to any charity—to
churches, nn hospitals, no homes, no-
thu g," she'eenunented.

CANADIAN MINING MADE
NOTABLE ADVANCE IN 1926
The nyineral, industry of Canada is
making notable advances and dining
1926 made a very gratifying contri-
bution to the general prosperity of
the country. An estimate made by the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics places
the value of the mineral production
for 1925 at $242,886,000. This is more
than seven per cent greater than the
total production for 1925, which am-
ounted to $226,583, 333.
A few outstanding features that.
have had a beaming on the increase in
production and that indicate further
increases in the future are worthy of
note. • '
There was a marked increase in the
production of lead, zinc, and copper.
British Oelumbi'a contributes post
abundantly of these minerals. A great
' proportion of the lead and zine comes
from the Sullivan mine in the south-
eastern part of the province. Exten-
tions have been made recently in the,

"He did!" cried Anne. "I wonder
if he wanted to hurt me, "then!"
It was a hideous idea, but remem-

for many years.

Mr. Grayson had not answered her
exclamation, Ire was talking, on about
the estate. Theremust be adjust-
ments, conferences, meetings which
Anne must attend, inspections of
books and audits, endless papers to be
signed and witnessed—it seemed as if
he would never stop. He was weaving
about her a net, a heavy net of re-
sponsibilities, duties. He spoke of
matters that must be attended to at
once; others that could be delayed' for
a few weeks or months. It would be
a year, perhaps two, before the estate
would finally be settled. Anne heard
him with an ever-growing dismay. A

of the province, at Britannia and at
Anyox, Ivae'e been centres of great
activity. The Ontario production is
from the nickel -copper 'ores of Sud-
bury mining district. Further in-
creases in copper production neay be
expected when in about a year the new
mining camp of Rouyn and vicinity
begins making an output, The com-
pletion of the railway line from Tat•

transportation and will permit of the
erection of the necessary plants for
the mining and smelting of the ores.

Turner Valley field tend other points
hi the foot-hi11s. In two or three wells
heavy flows of wet gas have been
struck from which an important yield
will be obtained but none is so product
tive as Royalite No. 4. Five hundred
barrelssof light oil is recovered daily
from this ono well ,and the gas, after
purification; is piped to Calgary. Sev-
ental wells have not yet reached the
deep oil-bearing formation and the
progress of dl'lling in these and in
those situated in other parts of the
province will be watched with great
expectancy.

And immediate,"
Spring had come on gayly in the
weeks she had been away. Riding be-
side Louis in his rattling, flabby fliv-
ver she saw the woods now in rich
leaf; the fields that were barely seeded
when she left were now covered with
young green.
"What did you think when you got
my telegram?" Anne asked happily,
"I didn't think—I went sort of,
crazy. Oh, Anne, I missed you!"
She shifted to be nearer hit,

to do something for other orphans."
"But didn't you keep any of it, or
buy anything?"
Anne smiled a little shame -faced
smile. She slipped the glove off her
right hand. "I got one thing. Look,"
She was wearing an emerald ring, a
square stone.
Looks as if you'd cut it right out
of the woods where the shadows are so

"That can be learned." He looked at

After he had requested Anne to be at
his office at eleven the next morning,
he shook hands and disappeared. But
Mr. Fink lingered. "You seem so
alone,!' Miss Thorne," he ventured.
"Haven't you some friend or compan-
ion, or wouldn't you like to employ
temporarily a sort of—er—chaperon?
I would also suggest a secretary, some
competent young woman, for of course
you will be besieged—"
"Besieged? What do you mean?"
"You have a great deal of money.
You will be besieged by people who
want to get it away from•you," said
Mr. Fink grimly.
"Did my great-uncle lave a saere-

"No, Mr. Thorne was eccentric, He
attended to everything, large and
small, himself. But do let me get you
someone; you'll need her, I assure you.

"Wait untilto-morrow, said Anne.
"I must think things out. I won't need
anyone before to -morrow. My be-

sure. I suppose I'll have to learn
about investments, and real estate and
equity and such,"
"It would be better if you did, hut
it isn't necessary. It's dull, and it's
hard, and it's never ending. The only
thing you needto worry your head
about is how to get .the most pleasure
and enjoyment out of spending the
money." '
Anne hesitated, and then spoke
bravely, "But that isn't mucic of a life,
just epending money, Mr, Fink."
"Tho greater port of the well known
human race, Miss Thorne," replied
Mr. Fink, "would ask nothing better.

ADVICE CONCERNING

A man I know haunts the billiard •

time mainly in telling' other peoples
how to play. "In off the red." "Yoe

noes world.
Incidentally, he Is usually, found to -

He is one -of those empty tsrfiee viIrick

A Word Fitly Spoken.
But do net Jump too hastily to ,the'
conclusion that I •depeeoate all advice
and all advisers. There is adrioe
which is au. impertinence; theea'is, on
the other hand, advice which is one
of tire most precious gifts one human,
being can bestow upon another. "A
word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver." A bit of good
advice, given in the right way, at, the
right time, is inspiring and invaluable.
The man who gives his 'advice
broadcast ought -to be suppressed as a
public nuisance. Advice is for the in-
dividual, and for his specific need. It
seldom comes fittingly except from
an insinuate friend. Particular cases
.teed particular treatment,,Whererad-
vice is conoerued;' the dignosis and, -
the remedy prescribed should be by an
advlce-plxysectan who knows and re-
spects hie patient.
Must I butt in with vapid generali-
ties when my advice is neither asked
nor valued?- Who• am I to judge an-
other? That implies a'sense of eu
perlordty which is an insult rather
than a help.
My advice must be humble, as of one
who knows all too well that he steads
in need of discerning counsel himself;
it must be kind•Iy, as of one whose only
desire is to help a friend, and not to
make display of his own superior
judgment. -
When the Expert Speaks.
In every -case, advice needs. to bo
tendered with •hesdtanoy; The adviser
shoulders a great reegronsibllity. He
should therfore know both his man
and his ground, Advice needs know-
ledge es -.well ae wisdom, If I' have
never had faith enough in niy own me -
teems to lake them myself, how can I
presume in prescribe for another?
But when the expert speaks the nov-
ice sloes well to listen. The man who
has been through the mise knows how
and why the wheels go round.' I may
ignore the hundred -upper, but I can-
not afford to ignore the champion,
Youngsters generally . make a big
mietake when they refuse to listen to
the advice of their elders. It is said
that experience is ae hard school, but
that fools will learn in, no other.- As
for myself; I know of nothing mane eon
acllrig than a word et sincerely spoken
and timely advice from one who has
bean at the cross-roads before and
knows the best turning to take.
