I'm go- ing to try and get some sleep." He swung into the heavy darkness. The air was thick with unwholesome odors rising from the lake-like swamp beyond the drooping circle of trees. He walked a little way towards the sea, and sat down upon a log. A faint land-breeze was blowing, a mel- ancholy soughing came from the edge of the forest only a few hundred yards bar!: sullen. black, impene- trable.

It is throwing money away." "If you think so, you’d better not part." Trent said, still lingering in the doorway. "Just as you say. I don't care." For a full minute Da Sousa hesitat» ed. He had an immense belief in the richness of the country set out in the concession; he knew prohbl more about it than Trent himself. Ll five thousand pounds was a great deal of l money, and there was always the chance that the Government might not back the concession-holders in case of trouble.

Scarlett Trent faced him coldly. "What do ou know about it?" he asked. “What concern is it of yours, young man, eh?" The clerk sighed, and became a lit- tle confused. He had indulged in some wistful hopes that for once his master might have relaxed, that an opportune word of congratulation might awaken some spark of gener- osity in the man who had just added a fortune to his great store. He had a girl-wife from whose cheeks the roses were slowly fading, and very soon would come a time when a bank-' note, even the smallest, would be a" priceless gift. It was for her sake he had spoken. He saw now that he had made a mistake. "I trust, sir, that you will forgive--. that you will pardon the liberty, if I presume to congratulate you upon such}; magnificent stroke of busi- ness It was significant of the man that, notwithstanding his hour of triumph, he did not depart in the slightest de- gree from the cold gruffness of his tone. The little speech which his clerk had prepared seemed to stick in his throat. - "Nothing more," he said. “You cal? go." Trent woke from his day-dream into the present. He looked around the room and saw that no papers had been omitted. Then he glanced keen- ly intohis clerk's face. do, sir The young man, who had filled his box and also a black bag, was ready to go.

Men whose names were great in the world of finance had tgtg' those Ielaboratelg' decorated lea er chairs. There ha been cynicism, criticism. and f1rta1ly.enthutsitan. For the man who remained it had been a triumph. He had appeared to do but little in the way of persuasion. His manners had been brusque, and his words had been few. Yet he remained the mas- ter of the situation. He had trained a victory, not only financial but moral, over men whose experience and knowl- edge were far greater than his. He was no City magnate, nor had he ever received any training in those arts and practices which go for the mah-' [ing of one. For his earlier life had) lbeen spent in a wilder country where the gambling was for life and not merely for gold. It was Scarlett Trent who sat there in thoughtful and absorbed silence. He was leaning al little back in a comfortably uphol- f stered chair, with his eyes fixed on a certain empty spot upon the table. lThe few inches of polished mahogany seemed to him-empty of all signifie- l ance in themselves---to be reflecting in some mysterious manner certain iscenes in his life which were now very (rarely brought back to him. The event of to-day he knew to be the cul- mination of a success as rapid as it had been surprising. He was a mil- lionaire. This deal to-day, in which he had held his own against the shrewdest and most astute men of the great city, had more than doubled his already large fortune. A few years ago he had landed in England friendless and unknown, to-day he had stepped out from even amongst the chosen few and had planted his feet in the higher lands whither the faces of all men are turned. With a grim smile upon his lips, he recalled one by one the various enterprises into which he had entered, the courage with which he had forced them through, the solid strength with which he had thrust weaker men to the wall and had risen a little higher towards his goal upon the wreck of their fortunes. Where other men had failed he had succeeded. To-day the triumph was his alone.

'" it?" The Canadian Northern average for wheat is compiled from reports from 171 stations between Port Arthur and the Rocky Mountains, the International Boundary line and the most northerly areas now served by its lines. In the Emmerson District in Manitoba the estimates run as high as 30 bushels to. the acre, and in Rapid City District as high as 32. Dauphin reports 25; Portage la Prairie 26; Rossburn 30;and the Swan River District up to M. Along the main line in Saskatchewan the re- ports from the Humbolt District run up to 33 bushels to the acre, and estimates up to 30 bushels comes 1from the North Battleford section. Northwest of that city, Meota, reports 28 to 30 bushels. East of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan on the north- ern line, Melford estimates are up to 30 bushels. The Saskatoon section‘ estimates go as high as 35, while the} Kindersley division, southwesterly to- l wards the Alberta boundary,.are es- timated at 35 bushels to the acre. The De Lisle division in approximate. ly the same area reports up to 40 bushels to the acre. In Alberta, the Hanna section, in the south and the Athabasca in the north, estimate the! yield up to 40 bushels per acre. Thel Edmonton Disctrict forecast runs as high as 35, and Vermilion to 30. In Central Alberta and Battle River District prospects are given as high as 35. In only a few instances does the estimate fall below 20 bushels, and those statements are widely separated. The estimates for oats is This photograph was taken In 1 wood 1r_tPty.yatiuatwttiiirGienGCiA" Pertte.teasroatttrriru'iiiF. In each case, where the agents give a range, such as 25 to 30 in their estimates, the Canadian Northern adopt the lower figure, so that the 'average may be regarded as con- servative. Officers of the company said that had a middle course been followed, the result in all probability would have been 27 or 28 bushels of wheat to the acre. When comparison is made with the figures of the North West Grain Dealer's Association for the average wheat yields in Western Canada for the last five years, the remarkable character of the prospec~ tive showing along C. N. R. lines this year is apparent. The figures refer- red to are: 1910. 12.9; 1911, 18.2; 1912, 18.6; 1913, 17.0; and last year 12.7 bushels to the acre. Given normal weather until harv- est, the yield of grain per acre along the 5.000 miles of the Canadian Northern Railway in Manitoba, Sa- skatchewan and Alberta is almost certain to average high according to a consolidated report from its agents which has just been received. This gives an estimated average for wheat of 24 bushels; oats 54; and barley 37 to the acre. Report Just Issued Indicates Record Yield.
