Muriel began that afternoon walk -with great gayety of spirits. She sang an old hunting song of quaint and en- gaging melody. • "Let's learn the song together," .she aid to Peter.

Peter, with his usual adaptability, acquired both words and music. He sang. He danced upon - the rolling green plain. And at last seizing lefuriel's waist around the belt of her sporting coat, he swung her almost -off her feet and together they whirled merrily —two tiny tops spinning upon the vast ex- panse. When they stopped, the girl, almost dizzy, and breathless, clung for a mo- ment to his coat and looked up into Peter's eyes. He could feel her warm breath upon his chin, Pete;; was not lacking in perception; he knew at once that his visit at the Benham' must come toan end. Peter, as he chatted with Mrs. Ben- ham that night, at dinner, faced the ltng French windows of the dining - room. Just outside was the blue stone driveway of the house and the path to the side door. Upon this path Peter thought he had seen a flash of white, a mere flick of ntoventent out of the corner of his eye as he put down his gilt coffee cup. "What did you see?" nskedliuriel suddenly. "I?

EXTRACTS & B.OM DIRECTORS' REPORT The special amount enters New policies pall for numhered'161,'391 for net, emount of $664,451,143.27, an advance of $213,206; 752.36, or more than forty-eight per cent., over the iprevious year. This, marked increase and the fact that the average policy, for the first time, exceeded $4,000, afford rmpreseive evidence of the ever- growb5g popularity of the Company. After deducting amouiite reassured the total aesttrancesin-force amount to $2,401,231/,036:94, an increase'ofS504,321,102.31. This advance is notable not merely for its magnitude, but because yrben allowance ie made for terminations by death and maturity, it represents a remarkably high rate of continuance, and evidences great satisfaction on the part of our, policyholders. The amount paid to policyholders. since organiza- tion, together with the amount at present held for their ecurity or benefit, exceeds the total amount • received from them ie premiums by $139,290,474,03. The rate of interest' earned on the mean invested assets has risen to 7.02 per cent. This figureinci dges , a certain amount from bonuses and stock pl,i but e accruing on many of the Company's holdings; these were entirely eliminated the rate would still be 6.60 per cent. A net profit of $13,077,284.62 was realized from the redemption or haled securities. The surplus earned during the year, based on the values entered in the accounts, amounted to $42,- 863,578.59, but front this sum substantial aplliorria- tions have as usual been made to further strengthen the position of t le Company An additional $10,000,000.00 has been deducted from the n'erket values of our securities as a mo - vision against possible market fluctuations, raising the arnount unts to 230,000,000.00. s sie for this purpose in the • • A further $1,000,000.00 has been written off the Company'sbuildiege, 4931,000.00 has been appropriated to mese the annuity reserves to hercuthe010rdtable ab eof vng aluation. with interest at 3 set p requires reserves $2,656,000,00 in excess of those of Ute Dominion Government standard. $1,200,000.00 has been set aside as additional pro- vision for claims arising from total disability, death claims as yet unreported, and possible claims under cancelled policies on which a surrender value or rein- statement might be applied for. for$2l c y 6i265 67 has boeenxa aid or allotted as profits d as a liability to pro- vide for unforeseen contingencies has been main- tained at $12,500,000.00. and allocations, After making all these deductions $5,868,899.96 hat been added to the undivided. sur- plus, bringing the total over liabilities, contingency accounts and capital stock, to $60,307,762.44. In accordance with our usual conservative practice the securities owned by the Company have again been valued at figures much below the market quota- tions current at the close of the year. This under- valuation represents an important element of strength to the Company additional to the specific provisions in the statements. Your Directors are pleased to announce that the high scale of profits at present allotted to participat- ing policyholders will becontimted duringthe ensuing )•ear,wh;lethe Special Dividend on maturing policies, introduced last year, has been extended to rnclud0 policies maturing thaftere scale of benefit aving been in force five has been increased. The business cf the Company has always been conducted under the enacting provisions of the Canadian Insurance law and the rigid super- vision of the insurance Department of the Gm -cremes -t of Canada. Ever since we en- tered the United States in 1895, the Company has been under similar supervision there and is now subject to the regulations of thirty- eight States of the Union which require periodical examination of the affairs of all companies licensed in their territory. In the discharge of their regular duties a committee of twenty-two examiners, representing the Statesof Michigan, :Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, Washington, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida and the District of Columbia recently completed an exhaustive examination into every department of the Company's affairs. The report of this committee makes gratifying reference to the liberal treatment accorded to our policyholders and provides authoritative testimony to the Com- pany's strength. Even adopting the lovy valuations placed by us on our securities, the committee still reported a surplus at the close of last year $1,333,921.71 in excess of the figure claimed by the Company.
