The Ministry of Finance L'Evenement (Quebec): Candidates are not lacking for the succession of the late Hon. Mr. Robb in the Minis try of Finance. Premier King will be wery fortunate, indeed, if he finds amongst his political friends in the Province of Quebec a candidate who is as admirably endowed as Mr. Robb was with the qualities that are re- quired for efficiently serving a pro- vince and a party; for, as has been sald of the late Minister of Finance, warely has a representative of the English-speaking minority in Quebec so well understood the French-speak: ing majority, who gave him their es teem, their confidence and their affec tion. Speaking their language, Mr. Robb entered into happy and inti- mate relations with his fellow-citizens of French origin, If his urbanity won him electoral success and public honors, it is but just to acknowledge that he constantly rendered service to communities and individuals with whom public life brought him in con- tact.- Mr. Robb's example demon strates once. more the practical and mational utility of bilingualism in Canada which, very happily, promin- ent men to-day favor with more in- telligence and sincerity than was formerly manifest. teen fees JUDGMENT It is not the judgment of courts, but the moral judgment of individuals and masses of men, which.is the chief wall of defence around property Bnd lite. meses Ap me Merry One--'Cheer up, old man!

Evening Light This is the hour of evening where we come Between the sunshine and the sol emn stars; When flowers are closed and birds are flying home, And, like a golden lily in a vase, Day drops on the jade edges of the sky-- The hour of sleep is nigh. A quiet wind is stiring in the ttrees, Soon to be silent, and the birds are still, ; And silence comes upon the ghore and seas, And in the valley and along the hill; And, like a child upon a loving breast, Earth nestles down to rest. This is the hour of evening, when the toll Of day ls done with, and the weary song etm emma. NEW AND oLD How often men think that new {dead call for new drenas! They are generally wrong. Th) new sword is for the old fight, the new courage for the old conflict. "Go home to thy friends" Show the new life where the old one was lived. It will cost, but it will count. The new way of do ing the old duty, bearing the old bur- den, fighting the old is the vindication of a new heart. Be- liold, I. make all things new" means making old things new. R the + h © who to the next?--Lehigh Burr, For Ti (Wednesday, 12, evening.) When Vance ed speaking, there was a long silence, ; Markham, impressed by the other's earnestness, sat in a brown study. His ideas had been shaken. The theory. of Skeel's guilt; to which he had clung from the moment of the identification of the finger-prints, had, it must be admitted, not entirely satisfied him, al- though he had been able to suggest no alternative, g Now Vance had categorically repu- diated this theory and at the same time had advanced another which, de- spite its indebtedness, had nevertheless taken into 'account all the physical points of the case; and Markham, at firay antagonistic, had found himself almost tigainst ais will, becaming more and more sympathetit to this new point of view. "Damn it, Vance!" he said. not in the least convinced by your theatrical theory. And yet, I feel a curious undercurrent of plausibility in your analysis. . . , I wonder--" He turned sharply, and scrutinized the other steadfastly for a moment. "Look here! Have you any one in mind as the protagonist of the drama you've outlined?" "Pon my word, I haven't the slight- est notion as to who killed the lady," Vance assured him. "But if ycu are ever to find the mu-'derer, you must look for a shrewd; superior man with nerves of iron, who was ir imminent "I'm Vance "There's thetic about mind. positively pa' the childlike faith of the him. The presumption implied in remark Ie 'mmodest. If you could distinguish pet rationality and r= rationality you wouldn't be a lawyer-- you'd be a god. . ... No; you're going at this thing the wrong way. The real factors in the case are not what you call the known circumstances, but' the unknown quantities--the human x's; so to speak---the personalities, or natures, of your quartet." He lit a fresh cigaret, and lay back, closing his eyes. "Tell me what, you know of these four cavalieri serventi--you say Heath has turned in his report. Who were their mamas? What do they eat for breakfast? Are they susceptible to poisondvy? Let's have Spotanpode's dossier first. Do you know anything aboutthim?- i "In a general way, returned Mark- lham. "Old Puritan stuck; I believe-- governors, burgomasters, a few suc. cessful traders. All Yankee forbears --no intermixture. As & ma of fact, Spotswoode represents-the oldest and hardiest of the New England aristocracy--although 1 imagine the {so-called wine of the Puritans has be. come prety well diluted by now. His affair with the Odell girl is hardly t with 'the older Puritans' danger of being i diably ruined by the girl--a man of inherent cruelty and vindictiven ics; a supreme ogoist; a fatalist more or less; and--I'm in- clined to believe--something of a mad man." "Mad!" "Oh, not a lunatic--just a madman, a perfectly normal, logical, calculating madman--same as you and I and Van here. Only our hobbies are harmless, d' ye see. This chap's mania is outside your preposterously revered law. That's why you're after him. "If his aberration were stamp-<col- lecting, or golf, you wouldn't give him a second thought.. But his perfectly rational penchant for eliminating de- classees ladies who bothered him fills you with horror; it's not your hobby, Consequently, you have a hot yearning to flay him alive." ; "I'll admit," said Markham coolly, "that a homicidal mania is my idea of madness." "But he didn't have a homicidal mania, Markham old thing. You miss all the fine distinctions in psychology. This man was annoyed by a certain person, and set to work, masterfully and reasonably, to do away with the source of his annoyance, And he did it with surpassin' cleverness. "Tq be sure, his act was a bit grisly. But when if ever you get your hands on him, you'll be amazed to find how normal he is. And able, too--oh, able no end." Again Markham lapsed into a long thoughtful silence. At last he spoke. "The ofily trouble with your ingeni- ous deductions is that they don't ac- cord with the known circumstances of the case, And facts, my dear Vance, are still regarded by a féw of us old- fashioned lawyers as more or less con- clusive." 3 } "Why this fieedless confession of your shortcomings?" inguired Vance whimsically. Then, after a moment: "Let me have the facts which appear to you antagonistic to my deductions." "Well, there are only four men of the type you describe who could have had any remote reason for murdering the Odell woman, Heath's scouts went into her history pretty thoroughly, and for over two yes: t is, since her ap! in the 'Follies™--the only mortification of the flesh." "It's wholly consonant, though, with the psychological reactions which are apt to follow the inhibitions produced by such mortification," submitted Vance. "But what does he do? Whence cometh his lucre?" "His father manufactured automo~ bile accessories, made a fortune at it, and left the business to him. He tink- ers at it, but not seriously, though I believe he has 'esigned a few appur- tenances." "Ido hope the hideous cut-glass olla for holding paper bouquets is not one of them. The man who invented that t d tion is ble of any fiendish crime." "It couldn't have been Spotswoode, then," said Markham tolerantly, "for he certainly can't qualify as your po- tential strangler. We know the girl was alive after he left her, and that, during the time she was murdered, he was with Judge Redfern. . . . Even you, friend Vance, couldn't manipulate those facts to the gentleman's disad- vantage." #On that, at least, we agree," con- ceded Vance. "And that's all you know of the gentleman?" "I think that's all, except that he married a well-to-do womdn--a daugh- ter of a Southern senator, I believe." "Doesn't help any. +. . And now, let's have Mannix's history." Markham referred to a typewritten sheet of paper. 3 "Both parents immigrants--came over in the steer: Original name Mannikiewicz, or something like that. Born on the East Side; learned the fur business in his father's retail shop in Hester street; worked for San- frasco Cloak Company, and got to be factory foreman, So "Saved his money, amd sweetened the pot LF amipulsting real 'estate; | 1 gave my heart ay That was my. loss.

He saw that in the future Canada would be the keystone of the British arch, with one base in South Al and the other in Australia and New Zealand. As time goes on the realiza-' tion of this vision becomes more and more apparent.
