Perhaps the most curious of ali the curious things appertaining to Abe Goldschmidt was the fact that scarce- ly anyone in Ix>ndon knew of his ex- istence; no one, that is, moving about the leisured and supposedly cultured classes. As regards the Underworld, that was an entirely different matter. For a man like Abe Goldschmidt i:o be living in one of London's busiest streets, and for the fact to go un- chronicled in the Argus-eyed news- paper press was certainly remarkable. For only five years previously, the i.ame of Goldschmidt had been blazon- ed in screaming headlines throughout the world. He had been called "th amazing crook-lawyer," as well as many other things; and he had issued no writs for libel for the very simple reason that the appellation had been strictly correct. For twenty years prior to that, this curious personality had been one of! among chimney-sweeps duo to their occupation and their Ignorance o! .anllness. This form of cancer of the skin has disappeared, because the occupation has disappeared. There is evidence that all forms of cancer ol the skin will disappear when the pe<* pie and the medical profession learn and practice the care of tho skin, just as cancer of the mouth will disappear when people learn and practice the care of (he mouth and teeth. /L Opportunity What ample time the plowman has for thought, To ponder many things!

On attention from anyone passing in the road below, no one had come to her assistance To get out of the window was impossible for a woman of her bulk, and so, in a ficnzy of bewilder- ment she had been forced to wait until seven o'clock that morning when Joe, the odd-job youth had turned dp for duty. She had found the two other rooms in a state of chaos, with both her lodgers gone. Here was a mystery | indeed! And not only a mystery, but disgrace. Mrs. Hamble had the fet- ing of the average good English housewife after a forced entry by strangers, of her possessions having been polluted.

Joe returned. The constable had be*n called away the previous afternoon to the bedside of a dying brother-in-law; his wife did not know exactly when he would be back, but expected him about dinner time.

And, talkin' about 'The White 'Oust-,' what about that big for- if.tr with the nasty-lookin' face?" "Ah!" The constable supplied his usual comment, and reapplied himself to the end of his pencil. "I don't mind tellin' you, Mr. 'Amble, that 'e looks capable o' doin' anything. But it 'mi take more nerve than I've got to go up there layin 1 any sort o' charge against 'im to Mr. Ktevensson."

Th landlady terminated the conver- sation by pointing to the door of her private sitting room, which opened ut into the hall, that led in turn to he street. "There's a mystery 'er*, and it's irvt to be cleared up," she declared. "You gpt on the telephone to Folke- stone. I'm going to 'ave 'eavy dam- ages out o' somebody for all the nuis- ance I've been put to.

Muttering to hiniMvf, ihe village constable left the Iiin. Feeling that she wanted MJIIIB fresh air, the ;.'! !n ai'nl landlady walked through the bar and took her stand at the door of the "Jolly Sailor." Al- though a strong-nerved woman, the cvcum-nces of the previous night had greatly disturbed her.

Don't say what for, or it'll be all over the village in no tiaie. Just let 'er know I want to see Johnson urgent." "Yes mam," said the stolid Jo*, whose expression signified that evn murder and sudden death meant little in his dai!y round. The con.stable had not turned up until after Mrs. Hamble had eaU-n hr mid-day meal. Now, as she stood looking down th practically deserted street, thinlrng over the recent somewhat unsatisfac- tory interview with him, she noticed a (rirl approaching from the direction of the Station.

"Are you looking for anyone, miss?" asked Mrs. Hamble, in her usual friendly manner. Th girl opened her mouth to speak and then swayed slightly forward. "My dear!" exclaimed the landlady, extending her arm, for if she had not done so, the other would probably have fallen.

E. Edmonds, President of Christie, Brown and Company, Limit- ed, who is completing his fifty-sixth years of service with the company. Mr. Edmonds, who can recall per- sonally much of the rise of the ('bristle, nrown organization, told bow the giant biscuit company was started in a small store on Yonge Street, Tor- onto, by two men with a working capi- tal of probably not more than $500. To-day the business they founded 1 capitalized at millions of dollars and la the largest industry of Its type In Canada. It has two manufacturing plants in the Kast, another the mil- lion dollar Winnipeg plant opened last week in the West, and thirteen dis- tributing branches from Halifax to Vancouver. The simple history of Christie, Brown and Company as told by the active veteran president is this Th business began In 1849 when two young men, James Mathers and Alex- ander Brown, formed a partnersip In a small store In Toronto to make bis- cuits. They had with them as assist- ant salesman, William Christie, who was destined to become a partner and eventually play an important part In Canada's biscuit making industry. The biscuits sold from this small bakery became popular with a limited clientele and the business began to progress. Four years later Brown and Mathers retired and the business was ) handled by young William Christie. CU Q l J j Mr. Brown, however, re-entered the I company in IRtil and the name, Chris- I tie, liruwii and Company. Limited, was adopted.

Within ten minutes Mrs. Hamble was in possession of a certain vital fact. This was that the girl was searching for a young man whom she believed had come to Mandlinit re- cently. From her description, Mrs. | Hamble had no difficulty in idcntify- | ing this man as one of the lodgers who had been spirited away the previous I night. To t.-il the girl the whole trutfl, however, was not to be considered at the present moment, she dwided. The hild rould not stand it.

When the family physician Is select ed before Illness comes, you can learn from him tho simple earn of the sklu mlses were necessary and it was symp- tomatic of the sales energy behind the organization that the first trans-Can- ada train had a Christie representa live on board. From that point the business has never looked back until to-day Christie Biscuits are known round the world. The original store In Toronto has been replaced by three factories one occupying nearly a whole down-town block in Toronto, the second Toronto factory occupying many thousands of square feet of floor space, and the third the new Winnipeg plant Is acknowledged the finest biscuit fac- tcry on the continent. Tho original plant turned out a very small variety of biscuits. To-day over 500 lines aro marketed.
