A Lot of Mone BY SOPHIE KERR. PART IV. Not by farthest reach of fancy could Anne place Louis in the new a stenee, opening before her. Louis in this house, waited on by Bowen! Louis in that '.soft -cushioned car. Lewis' hands white and soft -and flabby like Roy Torrance's. Louis in that dining loon, looking at her across a silver bowl of hothouse roses! No—such a vision was so wild as to be ludicrous. Next morning Mr, Finknd Mr. Grayson •called. It' was pleasant to see Mr, Fink again; in all this strange- ness he seemed like an old friend. Only now he was subdued, a deferen- tial satellite far Mr. Grayson, who was very much in command of the Meeting An imposing person, Mr. Grayson, almost a persgnage. He unbent some- what in his•greeting to' Anne.. "1 titist you passe.'d a iest£ul night," he said. _".With nothing to disturb you." uppermost Anne went to the thing ups* 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 hie what it's •.all about. Why is she here? Why does she stay Has she any real claim on me or my great-uncle?" • • "Mrs. Torrance has no claim on you whatsoever. She is the stepdaughter of Mr. Andrew Thorne'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- r&nce, 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 came here to live. After Mrs. Thorne died she remained as housekeeper, liberally paid. The boy developed traits of irresponsibility be a big fortune in itself.

He maintained that unearned money hurt rather than helped those who received it." "He did!" cried Anne. "I wonder if he wanted to hurt me, then!" It was a. hideous idea, but remem- bering the .lean, •sardonic hardness of the portrait in the drawing -room, she felt a sudden conviction that she was right. • Mr. Grayson had not answered her exclamation. He was talking on about the estate., There .must 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 he'delay ed for a few weeks or months, It would be a year, perhaps two, before the estate would filially be settled. Anne heard him with an ever-growing dismay. A year—an ' eternity! Why, she and Lanis had planned to be married in June. And she had only asked Thelma Downes to substitute for her in school for a week! "How much," she asked at last, "is there, anyway—I mean of the money?"_ • "Conservatively speaking," said. Mr.. Grayson, "and you understand these figures are not final, there will be from three hundred and fifty to four hundred thousand dollars a year." • "What! What! But, good heavens_- that's enormous!" "Only a Moderate fortune in these days, I assure you, Miss Thorne." "Moderate! Why—every year would A few outstanding features that ave had a bearing on the increase in production end 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 Columbia contributes most abundantly of these mineralsirA great proportion of the lead and zinc comes from the Sullivan mane in the south- eastern pant of the province-• Extern stone have been made recently in the plants for the treatment of the. Sulli- van ore and the lewd and zinc ores of other mining camps of the province. These <aceount for the increase in pro- duction. Ore reserVea have been prow- ed to be very great, and it is expected that a heavy production will continue for many years. ' Activity In Copper. The. copper deposits of ' Allenby mountain near Princeton have at last come,: into 'successful exploitation and the con+cenitt.•ator with a ;capacity of 2000 tons :a day has been ;fn full op- eration. The. two ,other -large Mines of the province, at' Britannia ;and at -Anyox, have been . centres '.of. great activity. The Ontario 'production is front the nickel -copper ores of :Sud- bury mining district. Further in- creases in copper production nia`y be expected when in about &year the new mining camp of Rouyn and vicinity begins making an output. ,The com- pletion of the railway line from Tas- chereau _has„ solved: the problem of transportation end will .permit of the erection of 'the necessary plants for the mining and. smelting of the ores. Ore bodies of -great value have 'been proved, the extent of favorable pros - a.$ m g perimeutai plant is being erected on the property at heavy cost to ascer- tain the best methods olf treating the ores and it seems almost certain that in time a big mining and smelting in- dustry will be established! at this point. Ontario Leads In Gold. Gold continues to be the most valu- able of the metallic minerals mined tri Canada, according to output, which exceeded $35,000,000 in value in the .year. In gold mining, Ontario is -far in the lead. Better prices were obtained during the year for asbestos, although there was a slight falling off in the quantity produced. Of this nninsral Quebec continues the' most important producer in the world. Few questions attracted greater at- tention in the mining world during the year than the oil possibilities. of Al- berta. The strike at a depth f 3,740 feet of a heavy H Royalite No. 4 well two years ago, re- vived interest and as•a result a great number of wells were drilled in dif- ferent parts of the province in 1926, the greatest activity centering in the Turner Valley field and other points in the foot -hills. 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 produc- tive as Royalite No. 4. Five hundred barrels of light oil is recovered daily from this one well and the gas, after purification, is piped to Calgary. Sev- eral wells have not yet reached the deep oil-bearing formation and the progress of drilling in these and in those situated in other parts of the province will be watched with great expectancy. 1516 THE SHORT JACKET IS ULTRA - SMART. nicn Mr, -Fink.. had :suggested,, dress ,her more beautifam•Ij' than.
