PAGE EIG Foshan Yar ard AA "North of Fifty-three by BERTRAND He rolled away in his car, and Hazel watched him from the window, a trifle puzzled. She recalled Bill's remark at luncheon. In the light of Brooks' -explanation, she could see nothing wrong. On the other hand, she knew Bill Wagstaff was not prone to jump at rash conclusions, If he objected to certain manipula- tions of the Free Gold Mining Com- pany,. his objection was likely to be based on substantial grounds. At any rate, she hoped nothing disagree- able would come of it, So she put the whole matter out of her mind. She dressed, and went whole-heartedly about her own af- fairs, Dinner time was drawing close when she returned home. She sat down by a window that overlooked the street to watch for Bill, Six passed, ' The half-hour chime struck on the mantel clock. Hazel grew im- patient, petulant, aggrieved. Dinner would be served in twenty minutes, Still there was no sign of him, And for lack of other occupation she went into the hall and got the evening paper, which the carrier had just de- livered. A startling headline on the front page stiffened her to scandalized at- tention, Straight across the tops of two columns it ran, a facetious cap- tion: WILLIAM WAGSTAFF IS A BEAR Under that the subhead: Husky Mining Man Tumbles Prices and Brokers. Whips Four Men in Broad Street Office. Slugs An- other on Change, His Mighty Fists Subdue Society's Fin- est, Finally Lands in Jail. The body of the article Hazel read in what a sob sister would describe as a state of mingled emotions, William Wagstaff is a mining gent- leman from the northern wilds of British Columbia. He i8 a big man, a natural born fighter. To prove this he inflicted a black eye and a split lip on Paul Lorimer, a broken nose and sundry bruises on James L. Brooks. Also Allen T. Bray and Ed- ward Gurney Parkinson suffered cer- tain contusions in the melee. The fracas occurred in the office of the Free' Gold Mining Company, 1564 Broad Street, at 3.30 this afternoon. While hammering the brokers a police officer arrived on the scene and Wagstaff was duly escorted to the city bastile. Prior to the general encounter in the Broad Street office Wagstaff walked into the Stock Ext change, and made statements about the Free Gold Mining Company which set all the brokers by the ears. Lorimer was on the floor, and re- ceived his discolored optic there. A reporter was present when Wag- staff walked on the floor of the Stock Exchange. He strode up to the post where Lorimer was trans- acting business. "I serve notice on you right now," he said loudly and angrily, "that if you sell another dollars's worth of Free Gold stock, I'll put you out of business." Lorimer appeared to lose his tem- per. Some word was passed which further incensed Wagstaff, 'He smote the broker and the broker smote the floor. Wagstaff's punch would do credit to a champion pugilist, from the execution it wrought. He im- mediately left the Stock Exchange, and not long afterward Broad Street was electrified by sounds of combat in the Free Gold office. It is conced- ed that Wagstaff had the situation and his three opponents well in hand when the cop arrived. None of the men concerned would discuss the matter. From the re- marks dropped by Wagstaff, however, it appears that the policy of market- "Unconscious for Hours Ina Puddle of Water" "I had a very bad accident last sum- mer," writes Mrs. S. of New Brunswick, 'While out driving my horse swerved suddenly and I paid nothing more shu Irecovered consciousness, sufferin most agonizing pain in ev. rt my body.

There has been a considerable speculative movement in the stock, and the speculators are beginning to wonder If there is a screw loose in the company affairs. Wagstaff's case will come up to- morrow forenoon. A charge of dis- turbing the peace was placed against him. He gave a cash bond and was at once released. When the hearing comes some of the parties to the af- fair may perchance divulge what lay at the bottom of the row. Any fine within the power of the court to impose is a mere bagatelle, compared to the distinction of scien- tifically man-handling four of so- clety's finest in one afternoon. As one bystander remarked in the clas- sic phraseology of the street: '"Wagstaff"s a hear!" The brokers concerned might con- sider this to have a double meaning. Hazel dropped the paper, morti- filed and wrathful. The city jail seemed the very Pit itself to her. And the lurid publicity, the lifted eyebrows of her friends, maddened her in prospect. Plain street brawl- ing, such as one might expect from a cabman or a taxi mahout, not from a man like her husband. She invol- untarily assigned the blame to him. Not for the cause--the cause was of no importance whatever to her --but for the act itself, Their best friends!

And the beauty of it is that the Lake takes on as many aspects as there are changes in sky or cloud.

MIDDLETON Before "Hydro" came to one of the municipalities of Ontario a private plant was in operation making an average charge of 10 cents per kilo- watt hour. But this rate was applied "Substantially correct," he answer- ed coolly. "Bill, how could you?" she cried. "It's simply disgraceful. Brawling in public like any saloon loafer, and getting in jail and all. Haven't you any consideration for me any pride?" "Yes," he said deliberately. "I have. Pride in my word as a man. A sort of pride that won't allow any bunch of lily-fingered crooks to make me a party to any dirty deal. I don't propose to get the worst of it in that way. I won't allow myself to be tarred with their stick." "But they're not trying to give you the worst of it," she burst out. Visions of utter humiliation arose to confront and madden her. "You've insulted and abused our best friends --to say nothing of giving us all the benefit of newspaper scandal. We'll be notorious!" "Best friends? God save the mark!" he snorted contemptuously. "Our best friends, as you please to call them, are crooks, thieves and liars. They're rotten. They stink with their moral rottenness. And they have the gall to call it good business." . "Just because their business meth- ods don't agree with your peculiar ideas is no reason why you should call names," she flared. "Mr. Bfooks called just after you left at noon. He told me something about this, and assured me that you would find your- self mistaken if you'd only take pains to think it over. I don't believe such men as they are would stoop to any- thing crooked." "So Brooks came around to talk it over with you, eR?" Bill sneered. "Told you it was all on the square, did he? Explained it all very plaus- ibly, I suppose. Probably suggested that you try smoothing me down, too. It would be like 'em. "He did explain about this stock- selling business," Hazel replied de- fensively. "And I can't see why you find it necessary to make a fuss. I don't see where the cheating and crookedness comes in. Everybody who buys stock gets their money's worth, don't they? But I don't eare anything about your old mining deal.

One consumer | whose . goodwill was supposed to be | valuable to the company was served at a rate uncommonly low--a flat charge per annum without meter measurement. When the "Hydro" service was in- stalled the general rate was cut in two, but it was applied with justice to every sort of service. As a result the light and power bills of this one consumer were more than doubled, and the proprietor went off in a {coruscation of disapproving remarks. his anger was not eased when he dis- covered that protests were unavail- ing. The rates in every "Hydro" municipality were fixed by the Pro- vincial Commission and the regula- tions governing the service prevented all manner of discrimination and |special treatment. From that day the consumer in question was a settled enemy of the Hydro-Electric Commission, and of the individuals composing it. He ex- erted his influence to break public confidence in the system. He de- nounced the principle of co-opera- tive municipal ownership. He pro- phesied ire things. He declared that the rate for delivered power was a burdensome method of indirect taxation. He said that the town and all other towns joined in this Electric Folly were likely soon to be wallow- ing in a bog of debt. He fed fat his personal grudge by seeking to un settle the public mind.
