Social charm may cooiist willl a profound form of humbug, and, as Oeorge Kliot lays, "there ii no reason why a loud man should not he given to concealment, unless it can be shown that Holy Writ hai placed tbe segt of candour in h Mngs" But a leader must believe in bb cause with absolute conviction, if he is to induce others to light for it; and. unless his followers can rely nn his good faith as one trusts one's weight on rock, he may lind himself deserted at a critical juncture. Another essentia! of good leadership li the love of fighting. Councils of war, and stratagems, lind plots, and waiting ou opportunity, and reliance on thu chapter of accidonti, are ipcthods which inspire follower! with ill-concealed or unconcealed disgust. In enterprise of martial kind, When there was any fighting, He led his regiment from behind— lie fouml it less oiciting. But wheu away the regiment ran Ilis place was at Ihe fori, O— That iin.l.iiitc.l nobleman, The lluke of PiazaTorol A man whn would lead a political parly, whether in ollice or in Opposition, must studiously avoid that illustrious example. sNni.crily, conviction, loyally lo friends, a love of fighting, a genial manner—Ihoie are come of the qualities required for leadership. Anotber is Hie faculty, not as common as one would suppose, of recognising a follower. I myself have seen docile .Ml'., who have sacrificed money, lime toil, health, and sometimes conscience to Die support of the Government turn, liko tbe cruihoil worm, when their leader aternly ignored Iheir preseuco in Iho Lobby, or, if forced lo speak to Ihem, called them by inappropriate namei. Il used lo be said in old days lhal, when I ul.l llartington gave evening parties at Devonshire House for bis political supporters, he insisted thai oo one should be shown up till twenty bad arrived, so lhal (hey might talk to one another and relieve lhe host of Ihe intolerable burden of tulkiug to them.

Up lo the present, purchasers have heen in the habit of notifying the city authorities lhat the property had changed hands so that notices of assessment and taxation should not go astray. This form of registration of owners has heretofore been deemed sufficient for city purposes, but owing to a recent decision die city council is advised by ils solicitors lo recognise these owners only who appear on the records of the Land Registry Office. Unfortunately a great many never register their deeds or agreements. . The North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company has received numerous assessment notices for 1912 for properly which it has sold and whicii has since changed hands two or three times. Tlie Company, therefore, desires to notify persons who have purchased from it that (hey should take steps to ensure notices of assessment and taxation being sent Ip them so that they may be come aware of the value at which they are being assessed and pay taxes as they fall due. 1 i i ' • Vi ••• The North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company Limited Liability 543 PENDER STREET.

A PROVINCIAL QBNBBAI, BLBOTION The intention of the provincial gov 1 nun,in to appeal to the people at an curly dute whlcb was formally announc ed by Premier McBride during tbe elos Ing hours of .the session Just ended I'lieiioi be said to have come upon the public ss a surprise inasmuch aa It had beon unofficially reported some time previously and had been a favorite to pic of discussion iu lhe newspaperr for somo weeks past. Tho decision of the government to ."i'l ml lo the country after the third torejon of the legislature' is fully iu accord wilh common practice and no exception can possibly be taken lo the step upou the score of procedure. A largo amount of very important legislation was passed during Ihe Ws sion just closed ami the carryiug oul of the policy laid down iu those incus ures involves heavy responsibility. Thii is true not only of tbe railway lull passed by the house but alto With ref erenee to the Forests Bill tnd other le glslttlon, There is likewise, 1 grett deal of legislation of tbe highest moment to the province (such aa tbe new Itxttloa bill) which will ctll for ttteu lion, in Ihe immeditte future. Under these elnumsliucea it is perfectly reasonable lhat the government should con •ider it wise to lay their whole policy before Ihe peoplo in order that Ihey may be relumed wilh tbe renewed con seiousness of tbe confidence of the electors of lhe province. ll is likewise easily understood thst view of the important interests in procure absolutely all that was asked was with reference to tbe right of the city to purchase the landa of the Indian Mission and even iu this instance the information elicited, from government circles was Midi as to convince the mayor and tho eity clerk thai the best interests of the city would he promoted by leaving tbat matter iu Iho hands ol the government for working out th>' purposes whicii thuy at present havu ii mind with reference to tho reserve. The delegation, together wilh Bttvi May, assisted by the alilo advocacy ol II. II. Stevens, M.P., met with a favor able reception from the Minister ol Bailways, aud their representation' with refurcuee to thu necessity of pro tecting public interests in the mallei of railway routes along the North Shore were responded to by the minister witl the assurance that in grantiug approval to the route map of tbe C. 1'. II. he would exercise every precaution to ensure Ihe protection of the public along Ihe lines indicated. The results accruing from Ihe effort) of Mayor McNeish and the City Clerk wilh reference to Ihe sale of the ssrier of debentures tuthorized by tbe rate payers aro particularly gratifying. At is goncrally known, the clly council had been gdvised liy a very slrOng fi uancial linn in Toronto that il would nut be advisable to place the debentures in question, upon the market uut il Ik autumn.

During the brief pausa In whlcb Dr. pa Bwen cqolly surveyed him—(or proper function—bu recovered something of bis equipoise. "See hare, Doctor," be want on more calmly, "1 am not familiar enough with the procedure In—er—In criminal cases tn know just what I want to say. But Is the next step Imprisonment for Mr. Maillot?" "It Is,11 snipped tbe doctor. "Thep I wilt go'ble bond-In any amount; but he must not go—'1 "My dear sir," Dr. De Breen Inier- rupted, with asperity, "a prlsonor under charge of lirst degree murder cannot be admitted to ball; not even by tbe court having Jurisdiction it his case, much less 1. The police are now responsible for the young man's movements," He deliberately turned bis back upon tbe millionaire speculator, and strode away. Years after that scene, in. Ho Hi; .n I'liiiinM to mc Ihil Fluette bad given bim the Impression that be was hinting at a bribe. The words, however, seemed to strike Mr. Fluette like a physical blow, He winced perceptibly, and his face worked with agitation. But bo rose splendidly to tbe occasion. In a second or so his customary •commanding dignity returned, and his keen Dance. He wheeled upon Maillot al the Instant that much* distressed young man was persuaded by dene- vli'Vi- to'leave Belle's side. "Maillot," said be, In a firm Voice, "I sincerely regret any hard feelings I may bave entertained for you In tbe past. You are not only a courageous young man, but an Innocent one, and one, therefore, tbat Is being msdo to suffer a grievous wrong. I wish io say so here publicly; I wish, (oo, to say publicly lhat I mean to seo Him yuu have al your disposal th'.' best legal iiileiii procurable." Maillot's roceptlon of this offer was pei'iilliir. He looked the man ol money squarely in Ihe eyes lor an In slant; then his lips twisted Into a mocking lu'iilo. He nodded his bead aver so allghtly, but the movemont waa unmistakably a curt rejection. "Thank you," he said dryly, his voice low and oven. "But I Intend getting out ol this scrape myself, Mr. Fluette; I don't wish to occasion you any future embarrassment. Please don't mistake my meaninng." Fluette mado no further cITort, and It waa Impossible to determine Just how tbe rebuff—It wu uo less—affected bim; he had blmsell well In baud, now. He began preparallons lor conveying home his still unconscious daughter, sud before they departed 1 contrived to have a private word wltb Qeuevleve. Her face waa very tragic. "1 must see you alone—aa soon as possible," I said hurriedly. "I can't leave Belle," ahe whispered. "Wbat Is it?" "My flrat request from my llouleh- snl," I cblded, smiling down at hor. "Don'tI" sbe pleaded. "1 shall come Where! When?" Dear me, no. I'll do the coming; It's only 'when'?" "To-morrow?" sbe suggested doubtfully. "You know, we 're all so upseL And Belle—" Tho dear girl nearly broke down. Yes, do come," sbe murmured tearfully, "as early as you can; everything depends upon you, uow." I caught her band. "Please doni worry," I whispered; "everything will come out right. I can't hear lo see you suffer. Will eight o'clock bo loo early?" "No." "I il not say 'Be brave,' for you 're the bravest girl In tbe world; bul please don't fret and worry Hero's your I'uii'iiiiiuii. Qood-bye." She smiled wanly. "I aha'n't," sbe Mid. "Qood-bye—Ull to-morrow mora, lug." She pressed my band and ran lightly out. Maillot now came over to where I wea standing. He wu very pale, bis lace wu drawn wllh llnea of suffering (more (or Miss Belle ihun on bis own sccount, beyond doubt), but his manner wu quite compoacd. In fad, his demeanor waa more subdued—chu- teiieil. as ll were—than I Jjud sceu It si any Ume during our brief acqualn- lance. "Well, It's over,"-he reuiarkojl b"' terly. "Don't be un us," I returned. "II you are Innocent, nothing worse can happen." He smiled whimsically, quickly lak- Ing me up. "And If guilty, the worst Is yel to joiiic. eb? Well, at auy rate, 1'm.your prlsonor." I "Not ni'i'i"I'uiily mine," I aald. "By prodHinc. 1 can't slund lor hose roughneck cops, and Stodger u s I'UHiodiim Is a Joke. I'd be too itrongly templed lo dump him into lbe flrat bandy snow-drift, and cut 'oore I doni suppose you'll insist on any rot about handcuffs and all lhat sort of tiling?" Notwithstanding bla pretence ol humorous Indifference, there wu s question la bis tone, and he peered al ou a bit anxiously. I grinned. "I don't know." 1 said. "1 won't take sny chances on being dumped Into a snow-drift." "Hot! You know I couldn't If I wanted to." "Mr. Fluette could liave helped you. Maillot." I looked at bim narrowly. He shrugged bis shoulders, merely, and produced and lighted a cigarette. "Let's go," he said, lipping the match away. Stodger wu left on guard at Ihe Page place. My prisoner and I walk, d to a car and proceeded to police head- juarters. His altitude, naturally enough, wu ane of extreme dejection; nevertheless I tried to cheer bim up vainly and when opportunity offered I alao tried to get tome light upon the ring episode. "It doesn't do tor me to express an «plnlon one way or another u to your probable guilt or innocence, Maillot," I said at one lime; "but 1 can tell you ;hls much (or yonr encouragement. "Since the murder, several develop moots have turned up which convince oe that there's a deal more In Ibt trim than either you or I can at pre sent conceive. You can keep It In .mind that I see more work ahead than I did Immediately after qnbslng you £nd Burke Wednesday morning y the way, lhat ring you slipped upon your linger ibis iiwfiifiiu, wBosd'ls it?" For a second he frowned wltb an air of trying to recall the incident. Suddenly his lace cleared. "Did you notice that?" be relumed, with perfect composure. "It's mine— waa my mother'! wedding ring." I wH watching him Intently- He met my regard with a level look. "In tbe habit of wearing It?" I uked. "Sometime!,." "See hero," I cam* to the point witb abrupt directness. "You appreciate quite u ipqcb as I dp the ilgnlflctuiie of that broad band of gold on the middle linger of your right hand. Why did you put It there at sucb a Ume?" He sat silent "You've become mighty oloie- moutbed all at once," sharply urged. He gave me a little balf-smllm and glanced away. "By advice of counsel I refuse to talk," said be, quietly. "If you are tbe couniel, you bave a fool for a client—and vice versa," I retorted.-"I suppose, too, tbat you refuse any assistance tbat I—" Instantly bis usumed Indifference vanished. "By no means," stopping mc wllh considerable warmth. "It there's any way out of ibis rotten mess It's you that must get me out. My bands are literally lied, now. And—Swift," bo hesitated; his face clouded and bis voloe suddenly dropped, "I—I simply can't say anything more, old chap. "So," I quietly observed, "you, too, are worried about Fluette." He started as If stuug. "My Qod, Swlftl" be began, und stopped, Ho sat staring at me a mom ent in utter dismay, then bis disturbed look wandered to a window. "You're loo devilish sharp," ho mut tared. "Lucky for you tbat I am," retorted 1, cheerfully. "This Is a bad tangle tbat wo'ro caught In, Maillot." He said nothing more. By the Ume we reached our destination he was prepared to enter philosophically upon bis period of confinement, whether it should prove long or Bhort. As I turned to depart I noticed tbat lio was following me wltb a wistful look. "I'll seo Ibat you are kepi posted about the young lady,'.' I told him; whlcb ellcllcd a deep sigh of relief and a ferveni word of thanks. Again I was preparing lo leavo him, the turnkey standing by and Impa tlenily jingling lhe ring of big braes keys which was suspended from Ills arm, when lbc prisoner clllcd me buck. 'He scorched my eyes earnestly. "Swift," he begun, "as I said before, I'm helpless now lo fight lor myself. But 1 want lo warn you you uguin. i Ibat devil llm ke. I kuow nothing further lhan t inn ho'has beeu In the habit of visiting Mr. Jin.ii. end ol being .iu,, I. .1 wllh him for hours al a lime. The subject of those long conferences Mr. Fluelle hu kepi strictly to himself, evading all of Belle's Inquiries and attempts lo make bim talk about tho fallow. Uurke la repulsive io in r —for whlcb you can't blame her—and ber curiosity over a man like bim and a man like ber father having anything In common Is quite natural. It Is odd, : you kuow. "Thai's not what 1 Intended saying, though." He paused, and eyed mo keenly au Instant. "If anything turna up lhal drugs Mr. FluetU) into this j business, you will And tbat Burke's tbo one who has tangled him. Watch Burke." Then ihe heavy ateel door clanged to between us. CHAPTER XVIII. A Fight In the Dark Alter the cell door closed upon ItoyaJ Maillot I returned al once to the house of tragedy, whose ovll geulus was promising lo play havoc wllh lhe lives ol so many of tbe living; and u I approached tbe bleak, auslcrc old n..n.i nm somelhlng in Ils silent and In- anlmale citerior seemed to repulse my advance up ihe gravel walk. My slips lagged, aud at last I drew lo a hall. ('old aud clear and anappy u the day was, still there wu something oppressive jn Ihe air Ibat hung about the house of death. I looked ai ihe lifeless windows. Blaring vacantly, utterly expressionless of lbe swift moving tragic drama thai bad been onacled behind them, falling lo foreshadow what wu yel lo iransplre hero, they all at onco brought forcibly to my mind Aleunder Burlui. Thus did bla eyes hide, Instead of disclose, the workings wllhln. That the mind of this man was secret snd evil I could uow no longor doubt. Fells i'sge bad been a sower* lul man, physically and mentally; yel Alexander llurke. sly and Implies e, soft-spoken apd sofWooled, ever alert and observant and burrowing lik. a. molo, In darkness, bad undermlucd him, and—tbe conviction grew—bad brought abotjl His cruel death. In what way? What far-reaching machination wu be ao laboriously evolving? Wbat snaro wu he cuilng unaeen to bring down In ruin Uie Urea of others! And wby? Coward ibat he wu, bad he at no Ume worked in iho broad light of day? An unwelcome aense of depression WU sluv.,}' weighing me down. It.waa m It lbe silent bouse were haunted.' At the Ume, i wu convinced lhat I wu merely making a hodge-podge of the hundred and one clews lhal bad come to mi bands, though now I know that lhe whole vul soheme wu gradually taking shape In my mind. I wu bewildered by lbe wide diversity of unopposed interest!, left powerless by failure to light uoon a sure point of common Interest defining the AtUUides of the different actors, ror to say lhat It wu lhe ruby did not clear Uie fog any—unless I accepted the growing assurance that Alfred Fluoiie wu 'he acUvfc Initrument of death. Sllll, every detail I bad gathered wu necessary to complete Uie circle. When dnally I did bav* my case all In bind there wu no single point tbat remained oUcuro. My brooding Inertia wu dlapelled by a shout from Stodger. He wu stand Ing oo the front porob. regarding me with oonajderahle ouriqirtty. '1 fiB*** *" ^ NQTICH Is bsrehy , pi cation will bo made of the "Water Act, 1909, V I District ft itafn I soon learned that he bad something of interest to report. "Wit knpw.

Qene- vlove's terrifying experience wis top recent and real for me to scout any supernatural suggestion of my col- league. I quickly uked: "Been anything aout the house?" "Not (p bere. Outside. Copldn't chase 'em-" "I'm glad you aro fat, thep; who would havo watched tbe bouse while you were chasing whatever It was you thought you saw?" He olapped one hand on top of bis bullet of a head, and stared at me Ip comical surprise. "Sayl You're right, Swlftl You are, by Qeorgel first time I ever found A—ah—you know—a consolation for my—er my—my stoutness, "Two shadows. Didn't get to see 'em plain, All tho time you were gone I could glimpse 'em now and tbon—flrat one place, then another—slipping and sliding through tbe bushes, trying to keep hid, y' know.'1 As may be Imagined, I wu profoundly Interested. , "Wbat did they look like?" 1 asked.

"It would uot surprise me In the leut" Although a closo watch wu maintained throughout lbc remainder of the day. we saw no moro of tbe elusive "shadows." My arrival, manifestly, had frightened Ihem away. I put In a portion of the time unUl nightfall going carefully over tho old houso again, from cellar to roof. My purposo now was to ascertain whether there wero any secret pusages or concealed openings winiidty wo might be surprised; and my labors convinced mo Ibat there were none. The face which Qeuevleve saw at the alcove curtains could be cully accounted for, since, wllh the exception of Stodger, who was In the socond story, and the officer lu lbe lower hall, everybody In lbe bouse wu usemblod In the library, aud, of course, completely absorbed In lhe Inquest It bad been an enI'j matter lo open one uf Ibe lower windows, or oven one of the rear or side doors, and onlor tho houae. 1 found lhal ibe walls wero all of an even, normal thickness, and ihere were no euuecs i" iw' ii floors or walla for which I did uoi satisfactorily account. 1 also kept u walchful eye for Iho pro lotypo of the designs on lbe cipher, but discovered nulling Ibul wu at all like ihem. mlu iv.in the day proved to be wholly uneventful.

Each of lbc promoters subscribed for twenty shares of stock and the mum cipalities above named as follows: The Districl of Nortb Vancou- couver $2511,000 The City of Vaueouver ....$800,000 Tbo City of Nortb Vancouver $100,01)0 and tbe district of Burnuby is taking 50,000 makiug a loUl of $600,000 of which the several municipalities in tercsled have takcu up their slock ami paid Ion (HI) per cent. Ibercou, wilb Iho exception of lhe districl of Burnaby who recently passed a by-law in order to take slock iu Ihe company. The provincial government bus prum Iscil aid to the amount of $250,000 and tho Dominion government bus promised a grant of $200,000 transferred from the Vancouver, Westminster A Yukou By. Co. under agreumeul which was sane (ioncd by the municipalilies interested. Before incorporation tbe promoters bud a firm of engineers give them an estimate on a double track bridge wilh roadway wbicb tbey estimated wouhl cost about $1,500,000. Tbis was before any BOundings or burings were taken for piers etc. Since then the company hu appointed the firm of Sir John Wolfe Hurry k I'artners of London. England as their chief consulting cn gincere, Willi whom arc associated Messrs. Cleveland and Cameron of tbi." city. Mr. E. Crutwell, one of Ihe pari ners of Sir Jobn Wolfe Barry 41 Part ueri, has made a thorough examination of the site, taken boriags, aud made an inspection of the bed of Ihe Narrows at tbe bridge crossing at an expense of about $11,000. Mr. Crutw'e)) pre pared sketches showing capacily and coat of different bridges. These woro submitted to the Board of Direc tors including the representatives of Ibe different municipalities .mul the plan chosen waa that a three-track bridge with two roadways and side walk lur pedestrian, one track being for stoam railway, two tracks for tram cars, two roadways for vehicle traffic and an 8 fool walk for pedestrians. Thero will be an opening span for ocean going vessels £00 feet wide and tho bridge will be high enough to allow all small craft sucb as tug boats and small rousting pleasure si earners to pass underneath without opening Uio draw. The estimated cost of the bridge is $2,126,000-ihis is $760,000 more than the first estimate obtained but tbis bridge has a much larger capacity. Tho directors thoughl It much better tp put up a bridge tbat would BC, Fft)BAY,MAHm K 1*1* £ have sufficient accommodation for tra tic for the next ten or fifteen years ovou if thu cost were greater, it woul be tbs M'« polloy in tbe long run. At a Noa»'t-iH'WiHitf-ihe .itreetow- the company bad witb tbe lion. Rich ■rd McBride, premier pf British Col umbia, regarding further assistance for tbe larger plan pf bridge, bs complimented tbo board on their foresight in preparing for a large increase of trallic by adopting a plan of bridge which bad a capacity to supply tbs public needs for many years; he was favorably impressed witb our proposals and said tbat he would certainly give tbem his serious attention as tbo project deserved tbe greatest consideration from tbo pro vinclal government. Ho also mentioned Uml the bridge across tho Fraser river at New Westminster would in a short time havo to bo supplemental witb more accommodation as traffic was increasing so riipi'lly, aud it is only a few years sjpee it was built. Our ongineora are now busy preparing plans and specifications of tho bridge which we expect to bo ready shortly, when tenders will bo invited for the construction. Wo may say that tbe company stands unique iu Canada as being the only railway company working under a special charter from tho Domiuion government and being owned and controlled by four municipalities through which it pusses .the provisional directors mentioned being merely promoters for the municipalities interested. The only personal interesl that Ibe directors have in tbo company consists in own ing twenty shares of stock which is Ihe necessary legal qualification for being a direel or. It is expected thai tbe bridge will be complelod in twu years from nuw when it will be open lo lhe uso of overy railway that comes lo Ibe Bur rani peninsula; it will accommodate twelve trains per hour ur two hundred nnd forty trains per day of twenty hours, aud from tbe fad of its being owueil ami controlled by tbe public under the jurisdiction of the railway cominisslouers, equal treatment will be guaranteed tu all railways desirous of using it. As will be soon from Ihe above re port,, there is still a deficiency in the tolal cost of tbe coustructiun of lhe bridge amounting to about one million dollars, which may be made up in either of tbe two following ways: 1. Tbe municipalities interested guaranteeing the interest ou the de bculures of the bridge .ami the proviu cial and Dominion governments incrcas- ing their subsidies lo a further amount uf $500,000. 2.
