The figur given and sita,tetnente made will demo any idsa that Britain is not bearin her rull share in the war. Just not that part of the booklet deeling Wit the ivork of the British Food Control ler should be of epecial interest t Cauadiane. The Ministry of Fond, under the di rection of a Controller, was appointee in Deceniner, 1910, "for the purpose Q toonornieleg and ineintalning the too suppliee of the country." The speeia teak of the allnistry, as eistinct fron the production department, was to re duce the consumption ef essentia foodstuffs while ensuring their equit able distribution among all ()lasses a the community. This bee been effecte by the division of the country int food and livestock areae an.d the an pointment of local FooeControl Coin mittees, now numbering nearly 2,000 each having power . te regulate th OuPply and distributioe within its oven distrtct, The Ministryehae taken step for the increase of transport and eold etorage facilities and the preventtel of Waste and deterioration of food car- goes.

It is possible to say that the Ministizy had After eighteen months areply justified Re existence. It has won the confidence cf the na- • tion, abolished food queuesand greatly minimised the threat of starvaticn to thie country on which the enemy claiefly bases his hopes of victory. in 'March, 1917, the reserve of wheat and flour was only sufficient to last .for nine weeks; by the end of the year England was able to divert cereal fm - ports and tonnage to France and,Italy to -tneet the shortage hi those coun- tries. Mr. Ciynes, then Secretary of the Ministry of Food, said on December let, 1917: "The Government has fixed the prime in order to •cheapen certain ess eential footle; it has controlled distri- bution le such a matinee as to set age& the- speculator, middle -man and profiteer; it leas bought' large quan- tities of food in the markets of tlae world, and supplied* them through the usual channels;:tine eit has reduced the *Ica of bread. and potatoes b3' taking' millions' Of Money from the National Exchequer and opemling It as a war charge to cheapen the food of the poor." ExCept in the wholesale price of wheat and some restrietions on the sale of bacon our Food Controller has made be effort to fix prices. He has left tothehigh. cog • of living to keep people from usingeoe much or liv- ing too high. The mutt is that the pro- ducers heve been Met •to 'charge what- ever the y thought fit, and the prices of the neceiseariee oflife have ccared so. high, that only Wesel': the receipt of high wages 'can afford to buy them. We admit that a large, sparsely settled °matey lelte Canada canhot be .as well drilled in the matter of food resale - Cone Or "Peice8 as Great Britain, yet • thereshould be room for some attempt to Gave the people from the profiteere: The Dorainion Trades Congress has asked the Governxnent to do acme - thing to keep the prices from ecntin- mine rising, and we think that some- thing oohld'be done.

"Capric wear paste jewels! Aelt the men ebe' s reined where all their thousands wen 0 -where all their lands, horses, shares salaries, disappeared to! Paste! Bah my dear fellow, you don't know th number of ruined Ileums and broke 1 hearts those diamonds represeut," e The act proceeded; the dialogu d scintillating with wit, and tho chorus ee becoming more riotous. In I trim followed after intrigue, and Sit uatton after situation, in all of wbic _ Caprice was the central figure unti the climax was reached, in a wild bi zarre chorus, in which she danced vigorous cancan with Cagliostra, ant f finished by bounding on his should ers to forte tho tableau as the curtain 0 • fell, amid the enthusiastic applause o , the audience. Ezra and Stewart went out into the - smoking-romn to light their cigar , ettes, and heard on. all sides eulogies e• of Caprice. "She'd make her fortune on the London stage," said Santon to Morn tiler. "Got such a lot of the devil in her -eh?-- by Jove! Why the deuce don't she show in town?" "Aha!" replied Mortimer, ehrewd- ly, "I'm not going to let her go can help it. Don't tempt away my only e ewe iamb, when you've got so many flocks of your own." "She doesn't loot( much like a lamb," said Columbus Wilks, dryly. "Then she doesn't belie her looks," retorted Mortimer coolly. "My dear Sir, she's got the temper of a fiend, but she's such a favorite, that I put up with her tantrum* for the sake of the cash." , While this conversation.' was going on, Ezra and his friend were smoking quietly in a corner of the room chat- ting about the opera, when the Jew suddenly drew Keith's attention to a tall man talking to a friend in a con- fidential manner. Be had a thin, sharp -looking face, keen blue eyes, and fair hair and beard. " That gentleman," said Lazarus, "could probably tell you soraething about those diamonds; he is an Am- erican called Hiram Jackson Fenton, • manager of the 'Never -nay -die Life !Insurance Company.' Rumor -which Is true in the case, contrary to he usual custom -says he is Caprice's lat- est fancy. "He must have a lot of money to satisfy her whims," said Keith, look- ing at the American. "Money!" Ezra shrugged his shoul- ders. 'He hasn't much actual cash, for he lives far above his ineome. How- ever, with a little judicious dabbling in the share markot, and an oeca.sional help from the children of Israel, he manages to get along all right. Our friend Caprice will ruin him shortly, and then he'll return to the Great Re- public, I presume -good riddance of bad rubbish for Australia," 'And who is that colorless -looking little man who has just come up?" "He is rather washed out, isn't her* said Ezra critically. "That is his as- sistant manager, Evan Melton. For acme inexplicable reason they are in - Reparable," "Oh, and is Mr. Melton also smitten 'with Caprice. "Vary badly -more shame to bine' as he's only been married for twelve months -be neglecte his young wife and dances attendance at the heels of his divinity." "Doesn't Hiram J -what's his name, object?" "Not at all. You see they're both mixed up hi speculation, and work to- gether for their mutual benefit, Mel- ton is the Lazartiii-I don't mean my- eelf-who peeks up the crumbs of love that fall from Mr. Dives Fenton's table," "It can't lea. long," said Keith, in disgust. "It will Met till Melton gets rid of Fenton, or Fenton gets the better of Malton-thert there'll be a row, and the weakest will go to the wall. Tell n.e, whom do you think will win?" "I should say Fenton," replied Keith, glancing from the effeminate countenance of Melton to the shrewd, powerful face of the American. "Exactly; he Is, I fancy, the stronger villain of the two." "Villain?" "Yes; I call any man a villain who neglects his wife for the sake of a light -o' -love, As far Fenton, he is the most unscrupulous man I know." "You seem to be pretty well ac- quaieted with the scandal of Melbourne soolety," said Stewart, as they went back to their seats. "Of course, it Is my duty; the press is ubiquitous. But tell me your opin• Ion of Caprice?" "Judging by hr acting to night, f3he's a devil." "Wait till the end of this act„ and you'll :Swear she's an angel." "Which will be correct?" "Both --she's a mixture!" The curtain again drew up, amid the shuffling of the audience settling themselvee in their places, and repre- sented a fete in the gardens of Gag- lioetraes palace, brilliant with colored lights and fantastically -dressed peeple, According to his story, Cagliostra had Obtained possession of his prize and woos her successfully, when Prince Caraival enters and sings a ballad, "So Long Ago," in the tope of touch- ing the heart of his false love. Caprice, dressed In a tight•fitting et:ethnic of silk and velvet, whieh showed off her beatitiful figure to per. fection, stood in the centre of the etage with a aad smile, and sang the fweaelig. tfaz-refrain , of the song with great "roe it was long ago, love, That time of Joy and woe, love! Yet still that heart of thine 1/3 mine, dear love, is 'mine!" • She gave to the jingling worde a touch of pathos which was exquisitely beautiful, .„"I believe she feels what she sings," viblepered Keith. "If you know her story you would scarcely Wonder atethat," said Ezra, bitterly. Tb e Rene; was redeManded, but Caprice refused urespond, and, the Clamor still tontinuing, the shrugged her shoulders and walhed toolly up the etage, "She's in a temper to•night," said Mortimer to &Luton, "They can ate plauti till they're blaek in the face, but devil an answer tliey'll get froni her, the lade!. She isn't called Val/rico tor nothing." And AO it happened, for the elide slim finding she would not gratify Them, subaided Into a sulky ellen% , and Caprice went coolly on with the e dialogue. Cagliostra, repentarit, sue- s renders the girl to Prince Carnival, t and the opera ended with a repetition , of the galop chorus, wherein Keith ! saw the sad -eyed woman of a few m- e ments beeore once more ie mocking, n jibing fiend, claiming and singing with a recklees abandon that half -fascinated u and half -disgusted him, - "What a contradiction," said Keith; a? they left the theatre; "one motrient a 1tears, the next all latIghter!" ,ith 1 °Wa spice of the devil in both, replied, Ezra cynically. "She is. the SphInx woman of Heine -her lips car a ess while her claws wound." • They had a drink and a, smoke to - t% ether, after which they went round the stagesdoor at Ezra, in pureu- ance of improving Keith's fortunes 'was anxious to introduce him to 'Ca: - Price. Lazarus appeared to be wee - known to the door -keeper, for, after a few words with him., they were ad- mitted to the mysterious region be, _ hind the scenes, Caprice - writs ed up in a heavy fur cloak, -was standing on the stake talking to Fenton. All' around was comparatively quiet, as the scenesshifters having ended their dut- les for the night had left the theatre. Stewart could hardly believe that the little golden -haired woman he saw be- fore him was the brilliant being of the previous hour, she looked so pale and weary, But soon another side of her 'roman° nature showed itself, for Fen- ton, saying something to displease her, she rebuked him sharply, and turried her back on the discotpfited Amerl- tian. In doing so she caught sight of Lazarus; and ran quickly towards him with outstretched hand. "My dear • Mr. Lazarus," she said rapidly, "I'm so glad to see you! Meg told me all about her acdident to- day, and how narrowly she escaped death. Good God, ti I had lost her! But the gentleman who saved her - where is he?" "He is here, said Lazarus, indicating Keith, who stood blushingly and con- fused before this divinity of the stage. In another moment, with a pudden impulse, she was by his side, holding his two hands in her own. "You have dories what I can never repay," she said rapidly, in a low voice. Saved my child's life, and• you svill not find me ungeateful. Words are idle, but if actions. can Prove gratitude, you may commend me." "I hope the young lady is all right," stammered Keith, as she dropped his hands. "Oh, yes; rather shaken, but quite well," answered Caprice, in a relieved tone. "Dear me, how careless I am; let me introduce you to these gentle- men -Mr. Fenton, Mr. Melton, and last, but not least,. Mr. Montimer. The three gentlemen bowed coldly, Fenton in particular, eying Keith in a supercilious manner, which made m blush wlth rage, as he thought it was owing to his shabby clothes, "Is my 'carriage there?" said • Ca- price, in reply to a speech of Malton'e "Oh, then, I may as well go. Good- night, everybody. Mr. Stewart, will you give me your arm?" and she walked off with the delighted Keith, leaving Fenton and Melton transfixed with rage, while Mortimer and Ezra looked on chuckling. Caeeice talked brightly to her new friend till he placed her in her brough- am, then suddenly became grave. "Come down and have supper with me on Sunday fortnight,'! she said, leaning out of the window. "Mr. Lazarus will be your guide. Good-bye at present," giving him her gloved hand. "God bless you for saving my Child." The carriage drove off, but not before Keith had seen that tears were falling down her face, whereat he marvelled at this strange, creature, and stood looking after the carriage, "She's not as bad as tfiey say," he said aloud. Ezra, who was just behind him, laughed aloud. "I knew you'd say she was an angel." CHAPTER IV, It was a very little. shop ot squat appearance, as if the upper storey had gradually crushed down the lower. Three gilt balls dangled in mid-air over the wide door indicated the call- ing of the owner, and, in order that there should be no mistake, the dusty, rain•atreaked windows displayed the Ieg,end, "Lazarus, Pawnbroker," in blis- tered golden letters. There were three windows in the upper storey, and these being innocent of blinds or curtains, with the addition of One or two panes being broken, gave the top Of the house • a somewhat dismantled look. The Lower windows, however, rniede up for the blankness of the upper 'ones, being full of marvels, and behind their dingy glass could be seen innumerable arti- cles, representing the battered wrecke , -- of former prosperity. Gold and silver watchee, wtth little parchment labels attacheee setting forth their value, displayed them, selves in a tempting . row, and their chains were gracefully • fes- tooned between them, intermixed with strings of red reseal, ohisfashioned lockets, and bracelets of jet and eine ber. Worn-out silver teapots wer rde aced dismally at the back in corn- pany with cracked cups and saucers o S t E f apparently rare old Worcester and evres china.

At the back, a doer, covered with faded greenbaize, and deceruted With brass - headed nails, gave admittance to the private citric() of the presiding genius of the place. The whet() appearance ot the fthop wee gloomy in the ex- treme, and the floor, being covered with boxes and bundles, With a little clearing here and there, It was natur- ally rather embarrassing to straugers (especially as the bright sunlight out- side prevented them seeing en inch before their noses when they first en- tered the dismal den wherein Mr. Lazarus sat like a spider watching for unwary flies. In one of the bathing machines aforesaid, a large, red-faced woman, with a rutf voice mut a strong odor of gin, was trying to conclude a bargain with a small, white-faced Jewish youth, whose black beady eyes were scornfully examining a dilapidated teapot, winch the gruff lady asserted was silver, and which the Jewish youth emphatically declarewas not. The gruff female, who answered to the name of Tibsey, grew wrathful at- thaitsue,oppositibn, and prepared to do "Old 'uns knows more nor youn ers," she growled in an angry ton "Tain't by the sauce of babes and sticklers as 1 in going to be teacbed." "'Old your row," squeaked Isaiah, that being the shrill noy's name. "Five bob, an' dear at that." Mrs. Tibsey snorted, and her gar- ments -a tartan shawl and a brown wincey-shook with wrath "Lor a Mussy eear the brat," she said, lfting up her fat hands; "why, five polite wouldn't buy it noo; dont' be 'ard on me, nay lovey-me as 'ave popped, everythink with you, including four silver spoons, a tattle, a eridiren an' a coal -scuttle; don't be 'ard, ducky; say ten en' a tizy." "Five bob," returned tee immova- ble Isaiah, "You Jewesis is the cuss of bus hall," cried Mrs. Tibsey, whacking the counter with a woefully ragged umbrella. "You cheats an you uwin• dies like wipers, an' I 'ates the sight of your emit noses, I do." "You'll 'ave the boss out," said Isaiah, in a hign voice, like a steam whistle, to which Mrs. Tibsey replied in a seining bass, a duet which grew wilder and wilder till the sudden opening of the green baize door re- duced them both to silence, An old man appeared -such a lit- tle old man -very much bent, and dressed in a greasy old ulster which covered him right down to his rag- ged carpet slippers. He had white hair and beard, piercing black eyes under shaggy white eyebrows, sharp- ly -cut features, and a complexion like dirty parchment seared 11 overith innumerable lines, "You again?" he said, in a feeble Jewish voice. "Oh, you devill-you- you-" here a fit of coughing seized tim, and he contented himself with glaring at Mrs. Tibsey, upon which he was immediately confronted by that indomitable female, who seized the teapot and shook it in his face. "Five bob!" she shrieked, "five bob for this!" "Too much far too much," said Larazus in dismay; "say four, my dear. four." "Teh: I want ten," said Mrs. Tibsey. 'No, no; four you say ten, but you mean four." • "Say six." 'Four." , • "Then take it," said Mrs. Tibsey, dashing it down in wrath, "and the devil take you/' "All in good time -all in good time," chuckled the old man, and disappar- ed through the door.

"Complimentary to your parent," observed Keith, as they entered the shop. "Oh, they're much worse some- times," !saki Ezra eomplacentlys "Isaiah, where's my father?"
