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, thought'J—the things I think!"

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- ited.

"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 is found?" The Rat cried. "Who, will- teach him?"

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.

He said nothing but "Yes." The Rat threw himself forward on the table, face downward. "Then," he said, "he must make ire believe it. He must teach me— if he can." They heard a clumping step, upon the staircase, and, who it reached the landing, it stopped at their door. 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 and stolid as before, and he handed in a small flat package. "You must have dropped it near your seat at the Opera," he said. "I was to give it into your own hands. It is your purse." After he had clumped down the staircase again, Marco and The Rat drew a quick breath at one and the same time..
