Not only did Bureau loot the mall, but he was also responsible for a packet containing $4500 being pres ent on the mail cart at that particular time. Bureau, it appears, had under an assumed name telephoned the manager of the bank of St. Ludger stating that he was undertaking a busi ness transaction and wanted a certified check for $4500 cashed. The manager informed him that he did not have that sum, but he would arrange to have It sent in order to cash the check. Bureau's further Inquiries established that the money would be forwarded to St. Ludger by that particular mail delivery and he laid his plans to rob It accordingly. Feigns Injury Feigning injury and declaring that his motor car had been wrecked, Bureau asked the driver of the mail wagon for a lift and also asked if the driver would go back a little way to get his (Bureau's) suitcase. The driver did so but on his return found that his horse and wagon had disappeared. They were found later, with the mat] pouch that bad contained the $4500 slit open and ihe money extracted. Bureau had disappeared. Bureau, whose subsequent movements had aroueed considerable suspicion, was arrested in Quebec on Saturday.

VIENNA July 17^-Contrary to all expectations, Sunday found the Selpel government stronger than ever, without the least Intention of resigning, but concentrating all Its efforts on restoring order as quickly as possible, and. If necessary, with the severest measures. The Social Democrats last night demanded, Imperatively, that Chancellor Selpel convene parliament. The chancellor instantly replied: "Certainly, parliament can be convened whenever you wish." Whereupon, the Social Democrats declared they were in no hurry. Ths chancellor Is of the opinion that the reconstruction of the cabinet, which he also deems necessary, must not be dictated by mob rule, but reached after Bound and unprejudiced negotiations. Burgomaster Belts sad the SollalUt loader, Bauer, pointed out tp the chancellor the extreme dtsliabllity of settling pending Issues etfote Wednesday, at which time the burial of the riot victims mignt evoke a new outburst of mob passion. VetASmweseMesg $tee%% The leaders of both sides Agree that a speedy understanding is especially desirable from an international viewpoint, lest neighboring countries use the Vienna disorders ai a pretext ter intervening. The government today, With the support of the police and troops, Is absolute maste-t of the situation. Everywhere It Is emphasised that the riot was in no way directed against foreigners, who have not been molested in a single Instance. The central section of Vienna la quiet, though presenting the picture of a state of siege, with all public buildings guarded by troops, and police anQ machine guns at points of vantage. Conditions differ from a state of siege only insofar as the regular courts continue competent. The hospitals are crowded with wounded; the streets leading to the suburbs are closed, and all automobile* are stopped and searched for weapons, which tt Is feared the Communlstj are being supplied with from the outside. LMS otwh The last serious incident of the disorders was a clash last night between a mob and the police, in which 7 were kilted and 10 Wounded. Burgomaster 8eiti forbid the sate of alcoholic drinks today, and the Socialists snd trade unions have appeals 1 tc the workers to strictly refuse to touch liquor during the ensuing days, until normal conditions prevail. The Socialists are centering their efforts toward preventing civil war and keeping the CommunlBtt from forcing revolution. The fact that the Prussian Communist deputy, Wilhelm Fleck, flew to Vienna yesterday is taken as an Indication of the efforts of the third Internationale to gain control. London sUpoVwt LONDON, July 17.—A Reuters Vienna dispatch received by way of Berlin, says: What brought about the collapse of the revolt was undoubtedly the decision of the government to move loyal troops from the provinces to the capital.

UDELL STILL Awarded Decision Over McGraw in One-Sided Affair at Detroit DETROIT, July 17— Sammy Mandell, without a scratch on him, emerged from his 10-round battle with Phil McOraw of Detroit here Saturday night still world's lightweight champion. He was awarded the decision after the one-sided contest, while the crowd of 10,000 to 12,000 roared approval, Mandell, (he maater boxer, was complete master of McGraw from start to finish. The champion took the lead In the firflt round and never was In danger of even getting his hair mussed. Twice Mandell came within an ace of stopping the Detroit challenger, once in the first round and again In the seventh. But McOraw, beaten and slugged furiously with short rights to the chin, gamely stuck to his feet, although his knees sagged a half-dozen times. in tho first round Mandell cracked his foe on the chin with a short right across that knocked him Into tho ropes. He was hurt and in* distress, but Mandell did not follow up the advantage. In the seventh, Mandell came dangerously near upsetting McGraw with a series of hard rights to the jaw, delivered aa the challenger backed into a corner to escape. When the 10 rounds were finished, Elmer (Slim) McClelland had no hes- Itanry In following Mandell to Tils corner and raising his water-soaked fiat as the signal of victory. Mandell did not have a mark on him, while McGraw's llpa were cut and bleeding from the shower of leather he re celved. <*onnle Mack, of the Philadelphia Athletics, is credited with having developed more star players than any other manager In the whole history of baseball.

"When the defence corps got wind of this, they tried unsuccessfully to stop all Danube traffic. Thereupon a remarkable change of view occurred in the ranks of the defensive corps, whose members universally decided to Join forces with those restoring order. "An important contributory facloi In the collapse of tha revolutionary movement," continued the 'dispatch, "was the prevalence of rumors that Hungary and Itaiy were preparing to take advantage of the confusion and Invade Austria. The ardor of the enraged Socialists thereupon began to cool, and, Instead of engaging in further acts of violence, they remained in their homes. "The ostensible object of the revolt was to expel Selpel's mlnffetry and replace It with a Socialist government." The Austrian legation at Paris Issued the following statement today: "The general strike, at Vienna la end- pd, street cars are again circling, and work will be restored formally tomorrow morning. The government is taking special measures to put an end to the railroaded' strike, and that ot the postal and telegraph employee*, which are still m force.

It seemed that the lake trip only confirmed the tourists In -tfcfttr good opinion of the C.PJL, Whlt-h they had formed in prtPtdlHg (lays. "Doss this steamer b%lohg to the C.P.R.?" was a frequent question asked the Nelson contingent When the answer was In the affirmative, the Inquirer UHUdtly cams back with, "Isn't It ft wftfiderfui organisation!" Rv-ett Mite Cartier, who held etittrt with Mrs. Chlpman on the after deck, was Infected by thi-: spirit. "I have been told that there are three vast organizations that run with perfect smoothness and represent the Ideal of efficiency—ths British Adm.rslty, the Vatican, and the C.P.R., and 1 believe It," ihe commented. Some of ths points at which the campany'a efficiency had cropped out were the Banff-Windermere motor trip, by which all but a few of the most elderly made their entry Into the province, the provision for the catering, and .the provision for entertainment while travelling. One of the diners was converted In the evening to concert purposes, being provided with a piano and gramophone, another being adapted at cards, Ashore at Procter Sailing past the Outlet, Captain John Ferguson took his charges nearly as far as Ainsworth before turning back for the West Arm, and presently Procter. Here everybody discovered a thirst, which waa not surprising, considering how tongues had wagged, and the shady verandah of the Outlet hotel, the spacious grounds, and the beer parlor were soon populous. Several groups were photographed against the big monarch of the forest that adorns the western side of the grounds, and many ladies who admired the flowers found them bestowed on them by Mrs. W. A. Ward. Just before the Procter visit came to an end, there was an Interesting exchange of musical compliment. MIsh Msirbnne Choquette, of Montreal, led In singing "O Canada," and then gave as a solo, "Mon Pays et Mes' Amours,'' the translation of which is "My Country and Jly Love." Ex-Mayor L H. Choquette of Nelson chairman ot the entertainment committee, and choirmaster of the church of Mary Immaculate, responded with a robust rendering of "Les Montag- nards," otherwise, "The Mountaineers." "God Save the' King" wound up these felicities, which concluded with cheers for Procter as the steamer left. Luncheon was disposed of in relays on the trip, to Nelson, the decks being crowded as the steamer carne up to her berth. Bio Welcome at Wharf While, on account of it being Saturday, the bands were unable to be In attendance, the welcome at the wharf did not lack anything of warmth. Several hundred people were ranked on the wharf, and even the tops of the boxcars were ornamented with younger cltlsens. As the tourists disembarked, they Hang "Allouette," and then struck up "God Save the King," which was taken up by the assemblage. When practically all were down, a little knot of people on the upper deck became the cynosure of all eyes, the group being composed of Mayor J. A. McDonald, Mile. Cartler, Mrs. Chipman, Edouard Montpetlt, secretary general of the university and dean of econorntcH, who Is In charge of the party, and Hon. L. A. David, Quebec minister of education, and L. H. Choquette. Mr. Choquette gave directions In French to the members of the party, and then called on the mayor. The mayor first introduced the two ladles. Miss Cartier and Mrs. Chip- man in turn receiving a round of cheers and applause. Then the mayor made bis address of welcome, referring to the visitors, when they should make their homeward trip, as "emissaries carrying not only our message of good will, but lidings of the progress and develop ment that is going oh throughout the west." "On any occasion It Is a pleasure for us to have you with us," he said, "but particularly Is It a pleasure dur Ing this year the Diamond Jubilee of our Confederation. Tour visit on this occasion will add further strength to the bond which links us together as one great nation within the British Empire. It will assist in creating a better understanding between east and west, which is something we all should constantly strive for If this Canada of ours Is to take the place among the nations of the world we are envisioning for it." He pointed out that Mile. Cartier and Mrs. Chlpman had lived to see one of the fondest dreams of their fathers realised, and expressed the hope that they might be spared many years yet to watch tbe growth and development of our Dominion." (Applause.) Mrs. William Waldle, regent of Kokanee chapter, I.O.D.E., and Mrs. W. O. Rose, former regent, then presented a beautiful bouquet of roses to Miss Cartier Later In the day they presented a similar one to Mrs. Chlpman. M. Montpetlt, head of the party, when introduced by the mayor spoke briefly, but with force and feeling. First dealing with (he parly's tour, he described It ee organised bfr thi UmiHemeity et MmU-ssA-. arttfc emieesX' tk>n as Its obieei. A tOut froth ihe east to tnfi west. He dsdared they wwe "glad to be In this most beautiful spot of the Selkirks, which possess the most regu'ar climate of tbe Dominion," and on behalf of ths members ef the party addressed tfcft tflbst iBjitfrS thanks freffl the pettH-e ai Quebec. The head of the party then gave way to Mr. David, who officially represents the Quebec government on the tour, and Is billed for fUlUrt* addresses ftt VaHcOiivt-Y aHrl Victoria. "H U MMd" a very treat privilege on behalf of tbe jTrovince of Quebec to officially acknowledg? your welcome, hs said, pointing out thai tt was the legitimate desire of each province tn fe§ tetter fcnbwn hy the others; Quebec With Empire, Says David "We come to you," be said, "because, notwithstanding sthe fact that We are the banner province of the Dominion, we have a lot mors to learn. We have to learn how to develop on the banks of rivers such 4 paradise as you have here, of Tooo souls. Everyone of these souls has the desire for a united Canada. "Let me leave with you that a stronger Quebec means a stronger British Empire, "And lbt me add, the further we come through your province of British Columbia, the prouder we are to be cltlsens of Canada." Comprehensive Sight-Swing After these exercises, the sightseeing under the auspices of the city and the cltlsens began. Many cars were at ihe wharf, or points adjacent, to pick up loads of visitors, and take. them about the city, or out on the Granite road to Taghum hill. Two streets cars reported at the corner of Front and Josephine streets, to take on visitors, and carried them over tha system. A number of Catholic priests, in one group, were taken up to the Church of Mary Immaculate. Mile. Cartler and Mrs. Chipman were among those who elected to visit the Golf and Country club, of whom there were a large number. Considerable numbers, after seeing the city by tour, continued It by strolling about the streets. Homes of leading Catholic citisens were also open to groups of visitors. Cheers at Depet Finally, as the hour of 6 o'clock approached, all cars began to disgorge loads at the depot, and tn due cou/se all the visitors were aboard' their special, after the last handshake, "We cannot thank ths people of Nelson too much for their welcome and hospitality," said Mrs. Chipman, in parting, from her car window. She was assured in return that Nelson delighted in this case to pay honor. Amid cheara and counter cheers, and much hat and handkerchief waving1, the special disappeared in the distance, off for Its next stage. The program called* for a stop at Bonnington, and a visit to the power plants, under the guidance of Lome A. Campbell, general manager of the West Kootenay Power & Light company. Yesterday morning a stop was to be made at Pentlcton for mass, the only further stop before Vancouver. Composition of Party Beside Mile. Cartler and Mrs. Chipman. and M. Montpetlt and Hon.

MONDAY, JULY 18, 1927 Nelson's Distinguished I Visitors July rolled back a couple of weeks Saturday, and brought back the Diamond Jubilee, with Its decorations, and its patriotic enthusiasm, for Nelson 'at least. * It was difficult to repress enthusiasm when the people looked, as they did, on the faces of Mile. Hortense Gartier, daughter of Elr Georges Btienne Cartler, who led the French- Canadians and their colony of Lower Canada, now Quebec, into Confederation, after being himself a distinguished premier of the Legislative Union of the two Canadas, and of Mrs. J. D. Chlpman, daughter of Sir Leonard Tllley, who similarly led the people of New Brunswick Into Confederation. • Mile. Cartler, who came from »ance as the guest of the Dominion «© participate in the Diamond Jubilee celebration, and Mrs. Chlpman, who lives in Toronto, are two out of 22 daughters and three sons still living, of Founders of Confederation. They are among the last definite Hnks with the past, of which, after a few more years, there will be few indeed. May some of their enthusiasm and confidence be passed on to the present generation, who have the duty of carrying to yet greater Importance and eminence Canada's name. . Young Quebec on Tour One of the unusual and interesting points In connection with the University of Montreal transcanada excursion party, which was In Nelson Baturday—apart from the notable fact of two ' daughters of Confederation Founders being present—was the large proportion of young men and women, university graduates undergraduates, from representative Quebec families, families of political end social leadership and of other distinction. The coming west, for a look over •the country, of young men and young women just about to enter on careers of responsibility, or actually entered on them, is even more important, In some respects, than the coming of thote who merely thereby enlarge their information. It means that at the start of their careers these young people, who seem destined for post tlons of influence In their native prov ince in the east, will have a personal vision of the west—fleeting and kaleidoscopic, It Is true, but large in •cope and very definite on some •essential points—with which to check and by which to interpret what they read, hear and otherwise absorb 'about this great country. Young Quebec was numerically Important In this great party of 150, composing In fact about a third of It, and It is to be hoped that in succeeding years Young Quebec will keep on being represented In these tours, which are such a splendid means of enlightenment, first, for those making them, and secondly, for those they visit.

Tomorrow—Answers To Inquiries. That Body of Yours ir MMII W. ftAJtTOIL ft*. Overweight and Underweight Why are health writers advising one-half the folks In the world to cat more food and the other half to eat less? Simply because In normal Individuals their bodies are Just what the food makes them. Young folks are advised to eat because, in addition to the need of food for animal heat that Is to keep the vital processes going, there la the need of ex^tra food to promote growth. Any lack of food means that at the most important Cage, the growing age, the body ts not getting sufficient food to build up strong tissues. Hence statistics are showing that more of our young girls are developing tuberculosis than when tha "slim" fashion was not In vogue. However, as mentioned before, "sllmness" is going out of fashion and that will correct this condition. But what about our overweight folks of middle age? One of our life Insurance directors tells -us that dlafcete is very often the penalty that is paid by our overweight folks, because of their overeating and underexerclslng. It would seem that some Individuals can eat sugars and starchy foods with no particular increase In weight, others will put on a few extra pounds, possibly five to 10, -while others, on the same diet and exercise exactly, will increase their weight by 30 to 50 pounds. Why? Simply because of the way the blood will "tolerate" the amount of sugar within It. Some stout folks show no sugar in the urine after taking a teaspoonful of cane sugar on an empty stomach- Also the amount of Bugar In the b'ood becomes normal again within an hour or two. Where the urine shows a trace of sugar or more, and where the sugar In the blood takes more than a couple of hours to get back to normal after taking above amount of sugar, than it is felt that there is a tendency to diabetes. However, where the individual will reduce his weight by a few pounds, It has been found that there la no sugar in the urine after the test and that the sugar tn the blood comes to a normal level In two hours or less. And, after all, it is only reasonable that a middle-aged, overweight person who has attained his growth and Is doing tittle physical work can usually cut down his food intake by 15 to 25 per cent, with benefit to his health, and thus possibly prevent diabetes.

CHAPTER XL It waa past 10 o'clock when Jill partially succeeded In calming her step-mother and proceeded to Eddie's rooms, an expensive suite In the West End. Although shej)ad not shown it and had mooted all Mrs. Wisden's fears until the poor lady herself began to think they might be ground- 'less, she wss really in a considerable state of perturbation, too. Eddie was quite capable of acting: on impulse. She had known him to do some very reckless things when a little boy. Once, he had deliberately hurt himself quite badly with a pair of blunt scissors, because he had been erroneously swished at school for a wrongdoing of which he waa Innocent; and est another occasion, while still a little boy, he had plunged Into the river—a shallow one—In a fit of temper or despair. True, he had waded ashore in the end, having come to the conclusion that life was gweet; but the suicidal Intention had evidently been there. # While she awaited in the luxurious sitting-room^ Jill's mind kept on reverting to these two ominous epl - ^odes, until she had magnified them out of all proportion. It was nearly (eleven now, and still there was no •sign of him. Jill began a restless perambulation of the three rooms. "Under less harassing circumstances, "the contents might have amused her, for Eddie seemed to have purchased '—or hired—almost every conceivable ■article that money could put on the Hnarket, from a piano-player of the its test and most expensive make to a complicated wireless set he had in- J^alled himself and which did not .function. All over the place, In his Jtericoom. and sit ting-room, were stiver ♦r ,gllt framed photographs of a voaan in a variety of poses—a 'Shingled woman with exquisite features and a wonderful, If too thin, bwry, whom Jill recognized with something of a shock as Lady Mel- ■dreih. One of them was Inscribed In a rather thick caligraphy—a curiously ■■vulvar hand-writing for a woman of ••culture—to "Eddie, my own boy, from j .tEdna." The wording Bmacked of the •■stage and Its Insincerities and gave Jill a bad taste in the mouth. I h Lady Meldreth! Could it possibly JM 1,-ady Meldreth who had been leading Eddie on? It certainly seemed so. Her faultless features looked back Indifferently at JUI from, •aere, there and everywhere—that -tan- t.ili-ingly lovely countenance which only masked a fairly commonplace femoureuse—and Jill was constrained to gare at them all until she knew and actively disliked each photograph in detail. ■ -"^Clldy Meidreth—and Eddie! Eddie[ Hftfl Lidy Meldreth! And she had Qfver guessed until now! And that wan why he had not told her the (Manner's name, because she was a -tnairried woman already and he had only been hoping, building on a possible divorce—the legal freedom which JUU knew she no longer desired. . poor Eddie! What a fool he had been! What a fool she had made of him! And how ruthless she was! Who would have thought, contem- Ifl&tlng that pictured beauty with its look of wistful loveliness, that the woman herself was a destroyer above all things—a slayer of men and a devourer of babes? Eddie was only a babe In-lots of ;t*Jiys—very much of a babe In Jill's *&*».

She visualized him drowned, or lying cold , aOmewhere, growing cold, at any rate, with a smoking revolver in his life- le-ss hand.

She waa glad she had prevailed on her not to come. Mra W laden would have broken down completely under the suspense. Jill herself waa nearly used up. She had almost reached the break Ing point when she heard a step on the stairs—steps she recognised at once as Eddie's. So . they were not bringing his dead body back! He was bringing himself. The next moment he was In the room. He was wet through, soaking; but strangely enough he did not look cast down and certainly not upon the verge of suicide. "Eddie!" she exclaimed. "Wherever have you been? Mother's nearly mad with worry! She thinks you're dead by now—and so did I, very nearly I've bene waiting Jiere since 10 o'clock—and oh! Do take off your coat! You're soaked through and through! Have you been—In the river?" She tugged his coat off for him as she spoke, half-laugh Ing and half- crying with relief. "Not in the river," he answered, "I only went there to—have a look at tt. And all of a sudden, a girl on the next seat to mine suddenly ran to the parapet and started climbing over ft, and I forgot all about myself trying to stop her; and who do you think It was? Gladys!" "Gladys!" Jill repeated stupidly. "Not my Gladys?" "Yee—your friend, the little girl you lived with. She's had an awful time. She's been very ill, and some brute left her stranded and she was at her last gaap. It's odd we should have been there and for the same purpose at the same moment, isn't it? That's what you'd call a coincidence; but it seems more like fate to me, because If she hadn't been there and I hadn't saved her, 1 should have b*en over the top myself by now; only when you've got to calm somebody else, reason with them and all that, you kind of forget your own troubles. So I saw her home. She's gqt#»ome sort of room near Waterloo, and I told her you'd go and see her tomorrow. I've got the address'. She wants looking after, Jill, poor little soul. You'll do what you can for her, won't you." "Of course I will." Jll'a surprise and concern about Gladys whs swallowed up in her Immediate anxiety for Eddie. "But tell me about yourself now, Eddie," she said. "Do you really owe all this money? Mother said it was a thousand pound In gambling debts alone." He nooded guiltily. "I owe two thousand, just about, with my other debts as well. But I'm going to face the music, Jill—or try to. I've been thinking it out all the way home. I must get a Job— exhibition dancing perhaps. And I must see the fellows I owe money to and ask them to give me time. 1 suppose my creditors will make me a hankrupt—ah, It's a hell of a mess! What a fool I've been! What a fool that woman made me! How she must have laughed up her sleeve! I bet she was never serious for a minute!" "Lady Meldreth? Those are her photographs all over the room, aren't they?" "Yes. It doesn't matter you know Ing now." "It's a pity I didn't know before," said Jill. "I could have warned you, because I happen to—I know her husband, the man who suffered most of all at her hands." "Poor chap!" muttered Eddie. "She used to say he was an out-and-out blackguard and ill-treated her. 1 don't believe she ever spoke the truth, It was second nature to her to tell lies. I'm not to upset about her now. It's wearing off—quite fast, like coming round after gas. Seems like a dream. Only the money nightmare's still sitting on my chest." "It needn't," said Jill, "I'm going to clear that up. You can start straight, old dear." He stared at her unbelievingly. "You're going to help me?" he echoed. "But—how can your* For answer, she took Carter's check out of her Dorothy bag, made payable to and endorsed by herself, and put It Into his hands. "There you are!" she cried. "Don't look so flabbergasted, dear. It's an honest-to-goodness check. There's lots more where that came from, only I Imagine It's rather difficult to dig out And don't ask questions, because I'm not going to tell you any stories*. There's the check. All you've got to do is to cash It, and square up and run straight in the future, and pay for everything you buy on the nail—tnat's the tip. Sister Jill's blessing, and say no more!*' Bhe was smiling so successfully, so convincingly, that Eddie's doubts, it he had any, were set at rest. He was one of those simple souls who always accepted any sort of situation, however out-of-the-way, In a matter of fact manner. Jill had raised this large sum from somewhere. She herself had assured him that it was an honest-to-goodness check, had bestowed It light-heartedly, and told him to ask no questions and say no more. The premonition he had spoken of to Gladys In a few minutes sines had certainly not played him false.
