"You will not save your lover by kill him before your eyes!" She walked calmly between them, and looked from one to the other, "Lord St. Maurice, I need not ask you, I know! This duel is not of our seeking?" "It is not!" he answered, lowering his sword. "This fellow insulted me, and I punished him publicly in the restaurant of the Hotel de I'Europe In my. opinion, that squared inatters, but he demanded satisfaction, and from his point. of view, I suppose he has a right to it. I am quite ready to give it to him." The seconds had fallen back. They three were alone. She went up to the Sicilian and laid her hand upen his arm, "Leonardo, we have been friends, have we not?

Inland was a semi-circle of steep cliffs, at the "base of which there were great bowld- . ers of 'rock, fern-covered and with hyacinths of many colors growing out of the crevices, and lending a sweet fragrance to the fresh morning air. It was a spot shut off from the world, for the towering cliffs ran out into the sea in either side, completely en- closing the little cove. There was only one possible approach to it, save by boat, and that a difficult and ted- fous one, and, looking upward from the shore, hard to discover. But on the northward side of the cliffs sud- denly dropped, and in the cleft was a thick plantation of aloes, through which a'winding path led down to the beach. : i Pehaps if all the little group gath- ered down there to witness and take part if -the coming tragedy, Signor Pruceis, 'Lord St. -Mourice's second, was } "the. most disthrbed and ; His man, he knew, must fall, nd an sickening dread was in his heart. It was so like a murder. He pictured: to. himself that. fair boy- ish face--and in the clear morning sunlight the young Englishman's face showed marvelously few signs of the night of agony through which he had passed--ghastly and - livid, with the stamp of death upon the forehead and the deep blue eyes glazed and dull. It was an awful thing, yet what could he to? JWhat hope was there? Leon- ydi"Marioni he knew to be a famous swordsman; Lord St. Maurice had never fenced since he had left Eton, and scarcely remembered the positions. It was doubtful even whether he had ever held a rapier. But what Signor Pruccio féared most was the pale, unflinching hate in the Sicilian's white face. He loathed it, and yet it fascinated him. He knew, alas! how easily, by one swift turn of the wrist he would be able to pass his sword through the Englishman's body, mocking at his unskilled de- fence. He fancied that he could see the arms thrown up to. heaven, the fixed, wild eyes, the red blood spurt- ing out from the wound and staining the virgin earth; almost he fancied that he could hear the death-cry break from those agonized white lips. Horrible effort, of the imagination! What evil chance had made him of- fer his services to this young English lord, and dragged him into assisting at a duel which could be but a farce-- worse than a farce, a murder? He would have given half his fortune for an earthquake to have come and swallowed up that merciless Sicilian. Signor Pruccia had delayed the duel as long as he could, under the pretext of waiting for the doctor who had been instructed to follow them, but who had not yet arrived. Twice the Sicilian had urged that they should commence, and each time he had nleaded tht they might wait .a few minutes longer. To enter upon a duel a l'outrance, save in the presence of a medical man, was a thing unheard of, he declared. But at last this re- spite was exhausted, for the oppesing second with a pleasant smile, had re- do that which will make us enemies for ever? I have bro:an no faith with you; I never gav: you one word of hope. I never ! cd you; I never could have loved you! Why should you seek to murder the man whom I do love, and make me miserable for ever?' His face as ghastly, but he showed no sign of being moved by her words. "Bah! You talk as you feel---just now!" he said quickly. "I tell you that I do not believe one word. If he had not come between us you would have been mine some day. Love like mine would have conquered in the end. Away! away," he cried, ment, and stamping on the ground with his feet.

Gentlemen my sword, I am at your service," PART TWO ron) Twenty-Five Years Later Por three days Count Leonardi di Marioni abode in his sitting-room at the Hotel Continental, living the life of a man in a dream. So far as the outside world was concerned, it was a complete case of suspended animation, Of all that passed around himthe was' only dimly conscious. The faces of his fellow creatures were strange to 'him. He had lost touch with the world, and the light of his reason was flickering; almost it seemed as though | 'it would go out indeed, and leave him' gr in the chaos of insanity.: Siorhasically he rose late in the: moning, ate what was brought to him, ordered what was suggested. All day long he sat in a sort of dream- less apathy, living still the life of the last five-and-twenty years of impris- onment, and finding no change, save that the chair in which he sat was softer, and the fire over which he stretched his withered palms was a new experience to him. There were taings even which he missed in' the freedom~--if freedom it could be called.' He missed the warm dancing sun- light which, day by day, had filled tis: shabby sitting-room of his con- finement. He missed that patch of deep blue sky seen through high, barred window, and the I ant scents of the outside world which, day by day, had floated through it. He missed the kindly greeting of his tying gaoler, and the simple food-- macaroni, the black coffee, and Sketches Will Help Success London, July 26.

It is when Sir John Mazer, of unemployed miners that he had because it did not pay.

Then there are tne matters of divorce courts for On- tario and the return of natural re- sources to Alberta and Saskatche- wan. The provinces have already sat in conference this summer on forest conservation with represen- tatives of the Dominion. When the Supreme Court judges declined to reply to ¢ertain ab- stract questions in such a manner that they could be applied to con- crete cases, Premier Mackenzie King announced in the House of Commons that the most expedi- tious and satisfactory way of ar- riving at the solution as to the re- lative rights of the provinces and the Dominion to waterpowers in navigable stréams would be for the parties to get together and seek to reach an understanding. It is to this end that the correspondence has been initiated. Radio Broadcasting Radio broadcasting will take 1m an even greater scope. The gener- al expectation is that the report of the Royal Commission on Radio will be in the hands of the Gov- ernment early next month. 'rune impression prevails that it will re- commend Government control and perhaps Government operation of broadcasting in this country along the lines followed in Great brite ain. There is no doubt the com- mission during its travels througn mous demand fer distinctly Cana- dian and British programs. The suggestion has been em- phasized that Canada should have ten or so powerful broadeasting stations operated by the Govern- ment, which would be capable of covering practically the entire Do- minion, A few smaller stations might be necessary to make the coverage complete. High class programs might be produced with Dominion-wide link- ups. Of course Canada's "magnifi- cent distances" have their disad- vantages in this respect. When it is nine o'clock in Halifax, it is only five at Vancouver so that a simul- taneous broadcasting of a program would come at an inconveniem time for the listeners in parts of the country. The same difficulty on a greater scale has to be met in bringing over programs as they are being broadcast in Great Britain. No doubt as in the recent national and Empire events would be listen- ed to regardless of the time. Quebec's Claim. Should the Dominion Govern- ment undertake this work of oper- ating radio, it would doubuuss want to be sure of the enthusiastic support of the Provincial Govern- ments. In a speech last January, Premier Taschereau made it plamn that Quebec claimed the rights of the air in that province, and should it decide to install a broadcast, station, it would not consider itself bound by the orders of Ottawa. Radio broadcasting was not one on the worries of the Fathers of Con: federation, so the British Nort= American Act' does not say any- thing on the subject, However, all the provinces co-operated with the Radio Commission and no great difficulty 18 expected - as to up- portioning the spheres of author. ity when all parties get together. The radio report will likely be sent to the provinces for considera- tion, and their vews will be sougnt betate the Government take ac- tion. : !

It is reported from V...:ouver that engineers of the International Pulp and Paper company are making preliminary survey im connection with the proposed establishment of a 500-ton paper mill at the north end of Vancouver Island, The esti mated cost of the project is between fifteen and twenty million dollars, If you borrow trouble you may ada was represented by Merchant Maheney, charge d'affaires of the Canadian legation. Official promulgation of tne treaty consisted in the reading of an address by President Hoover. Reading the two articles of the treaty, he declared these were pro- posals: 'to the: conscience of ideal- ism of civilized nations." "It suggested a new step in in- ternational law," he said, 'rich with meaning, pregnant with new ideas in the conduct of world re- lations: It represented a platform from which there is instant appeal to the public opinion of the world as to specific acts and deeds." The president added that he would "dare predict that the inriu- ence of the treaty for the renuncia- tion of war will be felt in a large proportion of all future interna- tional acts." "The magnificent opportunny and the compelling duty now open to us," he said, "should spur us on to the fulfilment of every oppor- tunity that is calculated to imple- ment this treaty and to extend the policy which it so nobly sets forta." President's Statement In April 1928 as a result of div cussions between our secretary of state of the United States and the minister of foreign affairs of France, the president directed Secretary Kellogg to propose to the nations of the world that they should enter into a binding agree- ment as follows: '" 'Article 1---The high contract- ment of solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature ui whatever origin they may be which may arise among them, shall never be sought ' except by pacite means.' ! "The magnificent response of the world to these proposals is well indicated by those now signatory to its provisions. Under the terms of the treaty there have been depos- ited in Washington the ratifica- tions of the 15 signatory nations-- that is, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Union of South Africa, and the United States of America. EMPIRE AND DOMINIONS (New York World) If we (the United States), value good relations with Great Britain we must value those with the Do- minions as a contributing factor, Several of the Dominions, moreover, are growing too important to be treated casually. When we injure Canada and Australia with our tar- iff we injure our best customer and a country that will soon be among* the very best; we arouse resentment in widely separated parts of the Empire, and the result may be felt in unexpected ways in Landon. Com- mercially and in other ways, we can- not treat Ottawa and Melbourne too lightly. Sympathetic minds there may count for much in meeting such questions as naval Imitations.
