'A FLOWER GARDEN CONTEST Friday, Oct. 31, 1913 It is .somewhat amusing lq outsiders to see1 (he Wrangle among tlio people of Port Coquitlall) over the new station silo. When Port Co- qiiilluin, or New Westm insler Junction, as it used to be called, Ava's apparently a country hamlet, and likely to remain that for the next fifty years, the present station and -unction' was undoubtedly sufficiently adequate, bill now thai it is to be a great Terminal City of the greatest of transeonlinenlali lines, the people of that centre, must surely expect a more commodious and modern station. They must look "to the future. It is just possible if the e i t' . present rale of progress is maintained that the day'is not far distant wL'en Port Coquitlam will have a population as large as Mission City and then some���������a city the present residents fondly hope to rival some of its present larger sister cities of ��������� the coast. The present "dinky" quarters would not be. appropriate. If the city is to maintain the name of port, in tho true, sense of the Word, then it must either build towards Burrard Jnlot or the Pit't River, the latter being the natural and, logical .direction- for expansion Then if the city is io expand to wards the east, it is only nafural the station should be moved further east. The C. P. R. is undoubtedly mak- Jng the town ,and they ��������� should,- be surely given some leeway in'the matter of the choice of a station site Given a free hand and backed up by the public opinion of the city it is also likely that the company would be more willing to spread' themselves, in regard to the size, style and architecture -of the'budding they expect to put up in the course of tlio next couple of years. For is it not no doubt when the*' matter conns up for discussion' Sir Richard W,ill no doubt rub his hands and say,"Yes gentlemen I. .am in perfect accord with your ideas in the matter, now that you have mentioned the subject, but it never occurred to me before.

There have been, among the good "lots, a large quantity of inferior potatoes offered, and as a result buyers arc getting critical. One', saw them opening sacks and cutting the tubers to see if they were sound Tho prices asked by consignees ranged ��������� from thirteen to sixteen dollars. The sixteen dollar potatoes were from Chilliwack, and after an examination a marketer, being satis tied that he had found really fine potatoes, promptly bought a ��������� Ion.

When the cabman had gone I sat down and tried to think things out. Of the two stories the taxicab driver'a was tbe more probable, as far as Miss Jane was concerned.

Besides, such an explain Hon woulfl not fit the blood stains or the fao������ that she bad gone, as far as. We could find out, in her night clothes. Still, she had left the village that night, either by cab or on foot. It the 'driver'had been correct In his time, however,'the taxicab was almost elim- * bated. He said tbe woman got into the cab at 1:30. It'was between 1:30 and 1:45 when Margery beard the footsteps to the attic.-. ' I~tbink for the flrst time It came to me, that day, that there was at least a. possibility that Miss Jane had not been attacked, robbed and injured: that she had left home voluntarily, under stress of great excitement. But If she had. why? 1 was uot proud of the part I played. So far I had blundered, it seemed to me, at every point where n blunder was possible, i had been a hulf hour too late to save Allan Fleming. 1 had been up and awake, and Miss Jane had got out ,of the house, under, my very nose. Last and by no means least. I bad waited thirty-five years to find the right woman, and when 1 found her some one else had won her. I was in the depths that day when Burton came in. He walked into, the office Jauntily and put something on the desk.in front of me. It was a Russia leather bag. "The leather bag!" he pointed proudly. "It was found in Boston." It was, not lurked, and I got it open in a minute. As 1 bad expected, it was euiuLv. "Then���������perhaps Wardrop was lolling the truth," I exclaimed. "By .love,.. Burton, he' was robbed by the woman" In theeab, and he can't tell about her on account of Miss Fleming. She made a haul, for certain." I told him then of the two women who had left Bellwood on the uigiit of Miss Jane's disappearance and showed him the purse "and its lnclosure.' The- (J puzzled him as it had me. "It might be anything." he said as he gave It back, "from a book, chapter and verse In the Bible to n prescription for rheumatism at a drug store. As to,the lady in the cab. 1 think perhaps you are right," he said, examining the iutorlur of the bag,, where Wardrop's tinme in Ink told its story. "How on earth did you get the bag?" I asked. "It was a coincidence. There have been a shrewd lot of baggage thieves iu two or three eastern cities lately, mostly Boston. The, method, the po Moo say, was something like this���������one of them, the chief of the gang, would get a wagon, 'dross* like, an expressman, and go round the depots look In;: at baggage.

Then he merely drove around to headquarters, and the trunk was rifled The police got on. raided the place and found, among others, our Russia lentil er bag It was shipped back, empty, to the address inside, Bellwood " "At Bellwood?

"I'll go .on one" condition." Burton said, preparing to leave. "I'll promise to get Wardrop aud have, him on the spot at 2 o'clock tomorrow.". About 4 o'clock a woman came who refused to be turned away. She" was ���������of. medium height, quietly dressed anil fairly handsome. - My first impression was favorable.

Schwartz had been In the city about the Borough bank.. He had threatened Fleming before, but a political pence bad been patched. Schwartz knew the While Cat.

"There is such- a.thing as murdering a man by "driving him to suicide." . . She wrote an address on a card'and- gave it to me. "Just a minute," I said-as* she was about to go. "Hare you ever heard Mr. Fleming speak of-the Misses Mait- iaud?" _. .- "They were his flrst wife's sisters. No, he never talked of them, but 1 be?
