Irvin went to Fergus on Thursday and returned on Tuesday The more fickle a Woman is the more it always hurts her when told of it. \ Durham Two men were Sitting together at a table in a cafe in Madrid. the one a young American globe trotter, the oth- er a Spaniard who had taken some pains to cultivate his acquaintance. “You noticed the lady." said the American. “who sat a few seats in front or us last Sunday at the bull- fight. the one in red and black ‘2" “I noticed that you admired her." .“She is very beautiful. There is something about her to drive a man “For that reason I shall not intro duce her to you.” “You know her?" “Introduce me. " ‘ ‘ “That you may be driven mad?” “It would be very thrilling to be driven mad by her." ‘10h, well. it you insist upon it." “What is her nationality? She does not look like a Spaniard." Renaud, the person who was to give the introduction. after asking the lady’s permission, took the American to call upon her. She received him graciously. “Ah. Mr. Albertson." she said, “I am only too glad to make your acquaint- ance. You Americans interest me. There is none of the blase about you that there is about Europeans. You are so enthusiastic. so generous. so intel- ligent." Albertson was as refreshed by these encomiums in behalf of his country- men as he would have been by a roller on the beach on an August day. espe- cially as a pair of compelling eyes above the lips were fixed upon his while the words were spoken. If a wo- man has this great power over a man it is usually instantaneous in its ef- fect. It was with Albertson as it he had quafl'ed an intoxicating nectar. He passed an evening in a delirium and afterward a night dreaming of Senori- ta Morelli. His visits were frequent. It cannot be said that his infatuation increased. for it was born perfect. He was full of gratitude to Renaud for the intro- duction and could not understand why the Spaniard was not also an aâ€"dorer of the beautiful ltalian. Renaud, in- stead ot encouraging him in his pas- sion. told him to have a care not to become too deeply involved. There was nothing by which Albert- son could judge of the lady’s social position, for she was a stranger in Madrid and not expected to have a place in society there. She took care to observe the proprieties and would not accept gifts from her admirer ex- cept such as a lady might properly re- ceive from a man. But one day when Albertson called upon her he found her irritated at not receiving an expected remittance from her banker. She need- ed money to make certain payments and the delay was annoying. Albert- son asked to be permitted to advance the amount, but was refused for the time being. though the next day, the funds not arriving. his offer was ac- cepted. Three days elapsed, but no remit- tance came. Albertsou said nothing to Renaud about the loan. but one day when the two men were walking to- gether, passing a gentleman evidently of high degree. Renaud said: “Behold your rival for the aflections of your senorita.” Albertson’s heart stood still. He had begun to suspect that there was some- thing wrong about the expected remit- tance. and this accusation on that ac- count had more effect. However, he repelled the imputation. Renaud told him that it he could get sight of the lady’s private papers he would be con- After much discussion Renaud sug- gested a plan by which Albertson might make the test. Albertson was to take advantage of his intimacy. to steal the keys of a certain escretoire in her rooms. Then he was to take her out to dine. While she was gone Re- .4- -~--0 nauci was f0 take the keys go to the rooms, open the escretoire and bring Albertsog any proof he‘ Q‘igl’LtMfind thei’é o? the' ex'istenc'é of Bis rival. Albertson at first promptly declined to have anything to do with such pry- ing. but Renaud artfully worked on his jealousy until he consented. He waited and watched some time for an opportunity. but at last it came. He carried the keys away with him and gave them to Renaud. The same aft- ernoon he took the senorita out for a drive. The next morning he read in a news- paper of the arrest of a woman who called herself Adela Morelli in her apartments. A detective had been watching the lady. who was a noted adventuress. He had used a young American. who was desperately smit- ten with the woman, to secure certain Incriminating papers in her possession. Senorita Morelli was wanted for vari- band. She would be taken to Italy to be tried for her otfenses. “Italian. but she has dwelt in many Albertson was crushed. For a time he could not believe his senses. But at lastâ€"he had not been repaid the money he had advancedâ€"he saw through the whole scheme.

Austrian Next to Go Alexander von Nuber, Austrian Con- sul-General in New York, has been involved in the investigation proceed- ings.

The extra fifty millions will be obtained from the sixty odd millions of the over-subscription to the original loan, and will be used as a credit for the Imperial Treasury to pay for shells, munitions and other war supplies or- dered by the imperial Government. It is the first step towards doing Can- ada's fair part in helping the mother- land to finance the enormous war ex- penditure of $26,000,000 per day, which the Imperial Treasury has hitherto borne unaided. It means that the Government, as i'orecasted, has definitely embarked on the policy of helping the motherland not only with men and munitions, but also with money, and of returning, in part at least, the assistance which the Domin- ion has received from Britain in the way of war loans and through halt a billion dollars' worth of war orders. The recruiting scheme of the Earl of Derby, director of recruiting, has not been as successful as had been hOped for, says James Henry Thomas Labor member of Parliament. Mr. Thomas said he discussed the matter with the Earl of Derby and that the Earl had expressed the opinion that his plan had not been as successful as he had anticipated. Therefore, the Earl declared that the supreme eflfort must be made in the next few days by those who valued their freedom and were opposed to conscription.

The cause of the fire is a mystery. but there were suspicions of incendiarism in view- of the fact that the Maple Leaf Company has been sending thou- sands of barrels of flour to the allies. South Africin'iArII‘ny F‘or Snot Affloa Gen.

The Post Ofllce Department at Ot- tawa has decided to issue a stamp of the value of three cents, obviating the necessity of putting two stamps. regular war postage. on a letter. In this way it will be easier to revert after the war to the regular two-cent postage. $150,000 damage was done when the 'Gold Medal Furniture 00. was burned down in Toronto.
