"You've got a chance when you get lo Kngland," Don said eagerly, "Gladys is a honzer kid, Dan. All you got to do.'' "Ah, cut Ihat out," Dan interrupted- "Here, I'll have a talk with Slade. Hut listen to me, Wetherby. My place by lights is here, where t^he mine is. How do I know what may happen wliile I'm away in England. There's £5.(100 worth of gold in sight in that outcrop. Can I trust you to see that no funny luisiness takes iilace?" "Wi!iat a question to ask?" Wether- by said, genuinely offended. Did I ever let you duwii since we've been mates?"' "You've let Ihat little English girl down." D.m reminded him. "She trusted you, and waited for you." "Oh, girl!'' said Wetherby, care- lessly. "When you know as muo'i about girls as I do, Dan, you'll not talk like that. Leting ycjtir mate down is oni' thing; a thing I've never done. Hut girlsâ€" lliey aio used to it!'' "Ar-r!" snarled Dan. in disgust; and shaking olT t!ie bridegroom's de- taining hand he stalked off in high dudgeon to spi^ak lo Slade. Looking reinarkalily (.'leerful, considering the calling down he hail received, Wolh- erby loo kills wife aside to liermlt the two other men a talk apaii. "Let me get this right, Shide," Dan said. "Why do you want me to go to England?'' "Ilecaiise you are the goods. Pres- eott," Sade said. •'! don't mind con- fesslng that I doubted our smoolih friend Wetherby anil his story of a gold mine. "Hul after one minute with you I was convinced." "1 suppo e I ought to salaam," Dan said. "But where does all that taffy get me?" "To London," Sade said. "There you'll meet Milton Medllcolt. lie'U see this proposition Ihrough your eyts. Fix witi!i him how much money is wanted to work this mine; he'll do the rest, and make you a rich man.'' "Listen, Slade," Dan said. "There's a lot of work to be done before you can get gold at Leoparwood Creek." "Hy the way," Slade interrupted, "the company is registered as the Dondan (!old Mining ('onipany. Do you get it? Don and Dan .struck me as soon as I he.ard you two partners talking. Dindan, lo tho ."nug English investor, will sound like some won- derful Australian treasure house." "Why the mug investor?" Dan lisUed keenly. "ftecause all investors who buy gold initio shares are mugs,'" Slade said easily. "You know thai. Prea- cott. Every ounce of gold that's rais- ed costs about twice as much as it is worth. This mine happens to be the exception; but ti!ie people who are going to make money out of it will be the mugs, just as much as If it co-t them their last sliiliings." "I thought this Medlicot had bought ti!ie mine, afid was putting up £50,000 to work It," Dan objected. "Mr. Medllcott financed tho par- ent company, in which you and your partner hold 40 per cent. Interest." Slade explained. "He'll probably l^mi an exieiideil company and acquire the ground taken up by my myself and my friend Uollins. A little of Ihe gravy comes my way, too, remember. The extended company will be ol .£250,000; in which you two boys will bavo 100,000 Siiiares, as well as flO,- 000 cash down. That will allow for ,£100,000 working capital to be ras- ed; and still give me and Rollins a fair interest, as well as Mr. Medll- cott." "That sounds a bit crook to me," Dan said bluntly. "Crook!'' repeated Slade iud gnaut- ly. "How do you make that out, Pres- cott? When you sold your mine for cash and sliares, was there anything crooked about it. You passed on the risk of there being nothing below the show of golden quartz which you un- earthed, didn't you? Suppose there is nothing more. Have you done any- thing crooked?" "I . . I don't think so," Dan agreed. "Well, if Medlicolt passes the risk on, lo the investor, why does it sound crook to you? It's the same thing, isn't it? You want to sit pretty your- self; why shouldn't others sit pret- ty?" Dan felt there was a (law in the argununt. but could not put his ling- er upon it.

Function of Advertising Observes the London Times: "The Function of Advertising In the Dis- tribution of Foods,"' w-as ttie subject of a paper by Lork Luke at the congress of the Inleruatlonal Cham- ber of Commerce In Paris. In bis abicnco It was read by Mr. C, S. Kent, the assistant manager of the Times. Advertising, it was pointed oul was really one of the most economical as well as one of the most effective moans of obtaining adequate distrl. bution. It had been estimated that the total retail trade in Great tiiit- ain amounted to X:', 361,000, 000 in a year ;uid that the total amount spent iBi advertising was about Ji70,000,000 a year, or about three per cent. Advertising covered a very great proportion of the total retail trade, and where the percentage of adver- tising was higher than tlie average there was often a proportionate re- duction in the cosls of distribution. Selling costs could bo kept much lower. The success of some of the combined advertising campaigns, tuch as Ihe "eat more fish" or "eat more fruit" campaigns, had been not- able in securing greater distribution and more effective consumption or goods by the public. Government Departments, too, were learning that silence was not golden In the market-place, and where they had services to offer they were linding it profitable to advertise judicially. The Post Office telephone was a case in point. Advertising was also being start- ed on behalf of some of the market- ing boards set up lo encourage the distribution of primary agricultural products. A falling off in public de- mand, unstimulated by advertising, eventually meant loss of distribution. Where advertising was employed to stimulate public demand the chan- nels of distrrbution remained freer and more open. It advertising was a necessary part of the distribution plan of any established manufacturer, how much more It was needed in the Introduction of a new product! He knew of no outstanding success am- ong new products which had not made intelligent use of advertising. 9 Green tea drinkers will find a sheer delight in the exquisite flavour of Salada Japan tea.

All Rights Reserved Geoffrey St. Clair Graphologist The manapoment of a New York hotel, some time ago noted that an enormous amount of table linens, napkins and towcl.s were being ruin- ed because of women wiping rouged lips on the linens. Many brands of this rouge are irremovable and leaves a permanent imprint even after launderin.!,', forcing the linens from service. The management fin- ally adopted inexpcn.sive packets of lipstick tissues which were distribut- ed freely in rooms and in dining rooms, with the result that the des- truction of linens has been reduced to a minimum. The question most readers ask when they read Ihee articles on Graphology is: "How can Graphol- ogy help me?'' This is, after all, a natural ques- tion, because It is the personal angle of things that interests us most vit- ally. I will endeavor to answer the question hy first posing others. Are you progro sing in your work? â€" or are you dissatisfied; a square peg in a round hole; unable to make any real progress, yet not knowing what to do to effect a change for the better? Are you happy and conttnted? â€" or are you continually frowning at life, with a constant chip on your shoulders? It you are married, are you con- tented? â€" or is disquiet creeping in, with perpetual bickering? Do you make friends, and keep them? â€" or are you living the life of an involuntary recluse, unable to enjoy the society of and companion- ship of others? If these questions reveal that there is something lacking in your char- acter or nature; It you feel that you are not getting the best out of life, then the problem is to lind what is wrong, and how to rectify it. To Know Yourself is to Understand. And that is the essential foundation for rejuvenation or rehabilitation. Graphology shows the hidden char- acteristics that make up the sum to- tal of what you are and what you are capable of becoming. There Is nothing magical about this. This sci- ence of character reading from hand- writing is based on definite scientif- ic basi.s. It has been proved thous-i ands of times to readers of this and' other Canadian papers. ; Handwriting, you must remember,, is not merely a matter of putting- pencil to paper. You use brain in writing. And handwriting is merely; Ihe physical expression of your char-j acter. Those who have read these; articles previously will recall in-, stances Uiat I have quoted to bear this out. The evidence is incontro- vertible â€" and many readers of this paper have found considerable satis- faction in a graphological delineation and have helped to solve their per-' sonal problems and to make the most of their characters and opportunities. You, too, can do the same thing. And, after all, the proof of the pud- ding is in the eating always, • • » Would you like to know what your handwriting shows about the real' you?

OF WHOLE X .'-.i >?HH (From Canada Week by Week) Dominion Day marked the formal opening of that section of the trans- Canada highway between Winnipeg and Fort William-Port ."Vrthur. The opening of this particular link of the inter-oceans highway is a highlight in the history of Canadian roadbuilding as it enables motorists fur the first time to drive their cars from Halifax to Vancouver and v/ce versa over an all-Canadian route. It is true that to do this motorists must use the car ferries between the twin ports of I'ort Arthur and Fort William, Ontario, at the head of tho Great Lakes, to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, pending the con- klruclion ol the remaining links of "Canada's Main Street" between Schreiber and White River, a dis- tance of 125 miles, now under con- tract and the ultimate link or twin links between White liiver and Sault Ste. Marie and Hearst. There is also a short gap in Brit- ish Columbia where cars are being carried by trains until the highway is completed. The Winnipeg-Fort Williaiu-l'ort Arthur section of Ihe trans-Canada highway is 402 miles in length. It is gravel surfaced, the travelled por- tion being 30 feet wide, and it lias been driven in 10 hours. The radius of curvature is gener- ous and the gradients easy. It inter- sects some of the coiilinent's finesl fishing and hunting country as vveli as far-famed scenic Summer play- grounds. The Kenora and the Lake of the Woods districts with their primeval forest and myriad lakes and streams are world famed. The trans . Canada highway will be approximately 4,200 miles long, and will provide motorists with an opulence of diversified scenery un- equalled by any other .of the world's great trunk roads. There now remains only approximately six per cent, to construct in order to bridge the gap northeast of Lalc^' Superior, and a short section in i^ritish Columbia, and part of this is now under construction. â- â- â-  â-  --.-jn â- Â»â€¢Â«* ...J h'.'-.i-3 '.t^al- w)^ fi I'toq? fttf^KiW hr'^ V> j BmT .s^K bwu .nM tfliv I.-ns 5te** For Summer Reading These days call for light reading and I'olycarp'i Progress by Victor Canning (Mussou Company, Ltd., Toronto) allows you to flow along easily with John Polycarp' Jarvis In his search for adventure and tame.
