"Then he sat still for several min-

were set in the midst of his own body
and his soul. Then he said, 'I can-

"They sat through the whole night
together. And the stars hung quite
near, as if they listened. And there
were sounds in the bushes of stealthy,
padding feet which wandered about
as if the owners of them listened too.
And the wonderful, low, peaceful voice
of. the holy man went on and on, tel-
ling of wonders which seemed like mi-
racles but which were to'him only the
'working of the Law..' "
"What is the Law?" The Rat broke
in.
"There were two my father wrote
down, and I learned them. The first
was the law of The One. I'll try to
say that," and he covered his eyes
and waited through a moment of si-
lence.
It seemed to The Rat as if the
room held an extraordinary stillness.
"Listen!" came next. "This is it:
"'There are a myriad worlds. There
is but One Thought out of which they
grew. Its Law is Order which can-
not
annot swerve. Its creatures are free to
choose. Only they can create Disor-
der, which in itself is Pain and Woe
and Hate and Fear. These they a-
lone can bring forth. The Great One
is a Golden Light. It is not remote
but near. Hold thyself within its
glow, and thou wilt behold all things
clearly. First, with all thy breathing
being, know one thing! That thine
own thought—when so thou standest
—is one with That whichthought the
Worlds!' "
"What?" gasped The Rat. "My,

LAKE CASWELL, MINES LIM-
ITED: It is understood that a Brill is
to be erected on the Lake Caswell
Mikes property in the near future.
The executives of the company held
a meeting this week to discuss the
power situation and it is generally
believed that a satisfactory Conclus-
ion on this was' determined.
Little publicity on this property
has been seen in the press up to this
time but extensive development work
has been in progress on the proper-
ty by a large crew of men under the
direction of F. C. Van Norman, Mine
Manager.
Work. has just been completed on
the 500 ft. level and findings are very
encouraging.
The activities at Lake Caswell has
been privately financed by Toronto
and Hamilton interests and the story
of this coming mine is of sufficient
interest that Mining News Service is
sending a man into the property from
it's Toronto news bureau to report in
detail on the work that has been car-
ried on by Lake Caswell Mines Lim-

"You're giving me the jim-jams!"
"He said it," answered Marco. "And
it was then he spoke about the broken
Link—and about the greatest books
in the world—that in all their' differ-
ent ways, they were only saying over
and over again one thing thousands
of times.. Just this thing—'Hate not,
Fear not, Love.' And he said that was
Order. And when it was disturbed,
suffering care—poverty and misery
and catastrophe and wars."
"Wars!" The Rat said sharply. "The
World couldn't do without :war—and
armies and defences! What about
Sainavia?" -
"My father asked him that. And
this is what he answered. I learned
that too. Let me think again," and
he waited as he had waited before.
Then he lifted his head. "Listen!
This is it:
"'Out of the blackness of Disorder
and its outpouring of human misery,
there will arise the Order which is
Peace. When Man learns that he is
one with the Thought which itself
creates all beauty, all power, all splen-
dor, and all repose, he will not fear
that his brother can rob him of his
heart's desire. He will - stand in the
Light and draw to himself his own.'"
"Draw to himself?" The Rat said.
"Draw what he wants? I don't be-
lieve it!"
"Nobody does," said Marco. "We
don't know. He said we stood in the
dark of the night—without stars —
and did not' know that the broken
chain swung just above us."
"I don't believe it!" said The Rat.
"It's too big!"
Marco 'did not -say whether he be-
lieved it or not. He only went on
speaking.
"My father listened until he felt as
if he had stopped breathing. Just at
the stillest of the stillness the Budd-
hist 'stopped speaking. And there
was a rustling of the undergrowth a
few; yards away, as if something big
was pushing its way through — and
there was the soft pad of feet. The
Buddhist turned his head and my
father heard him say softly:"Conie
forth, Sister.'.
"And a huge leopardess with two
cubs walked out on to the ledge and
came to him and threw herself down
with a heavy lunge near his feet.".:
"Your father saw that!" cried out
The Rat. "You mean the old fellow
thew something that inade wild beasts,
afraid to touch him or any one near,
him?"
"Not afraid. They knew he was
their brother, and that he was one
with the Law: He had lived so long
with the Great Thought that all dark-
ness and fear had left him forever.
He had mended the Chain."
The Rat had reached deep waters.
He leaned forward --his hands bur-
rowing in his hair, his- face scowling
and twisted, his eyes boring into
space. He had climbed to the ledge
at the mountain top; he had seen the
luminous immensity of the stars, and
he had looked down into the shadows
filling the world thousands of feet
below. Was there some remote deep
in him from whose darkness a slow
light was rising?, All that Loristan
had said he knew must be true. But
the rest of it—?.
Marco got up and came over to
him. He looked like his father again.
"If the descendant of the Lost
Prince is brought back to rule Sa
mavia, he will teach his people the
Law of the One. It was for that the
holy 'man taught my father until the
dawn came."
"Who will—who will teach the
Lost Prince—the new •Xing -when rte

Because farmers of the Irish Free
State have an unexpected surplus of
unsold wheat on their hands, the
Government of that country has or-
dered the proportion of home-grown
wheat in milled flour to be increased
to 29 per cent from 26.5 per cent un-
til the end of the 1936-37 cereal. year,
that is August 31. Some time ago,
the proportion of home-grown wheat
to be used by flour millers during
the 1937-38 cereal year was fixed at
40 per cent.

"Yes,", Marco answered. He said
nothing but "Yes."
The Rat threw himself forward on

"Then," he said, "he must make

They heard a clumping step, upon

Then there was a solid knock.
When ,Marco opened the door•, the
young soldier who had escorted him
from the Hof -Theatre was standing
outside. He looked as uninterested

a small flat package.
"You must have dropped it near
