North Vanoouvsr, B. O, ... January 30, mi BOUTB OF THB FBAOB BIVEB BAILWAY While tbere arc admittedly several practicable routes which may lio followed in constructing the proposed new line of railway from Hurrard inlet to the Peace River country, it is an undeniable fact that the route via Howe Sound, Hijuamish Valley and I'ember- ton Meadows presents desirable features which render it the most advantageous of all available routes. It is presumed in any case tlie mote along the upper reaches of Ilie Frascr river say from Mllooet northward would lie the same iu every case, irrespective of the route which might be followed from the const to 'that point. Tbe Bhorteat Route To begin witn, tlio route via Howe Bound as mentioned alwve is the inn.il direct route from Durrani I nlnt to the point at which lhe railway may lie axpci'ted lo Arsl arrive at tiic upper portion of Ihu Eraser river. From a casual glance al Hie inup, this route would appear lo have an ailvanlagu of well nigli flfly per cunt, over other routes wilh respecl to-mileage raqiiir- ' ad to roach Mllooet from llurranl Inlet. Through AU Nsw Territory The Howe Hound mule would open up a new district all the way by provid ing railway facilities to a very valuable portion of the province, which is as yet unprovided for in this Import ■ut particular while ihe other propim ed routes would, In every iiistaucu ci tbar utilise portions of other railway ayitouia already iu operation or would ' entail the construction of lines paral Ming lines already constructed and would, therefore, I'm I to this client, lo provide railway facilities fur-sec limn which do not already punnets transportation facilities of lhal char acter. Eor many years i'einlicrtnii Meadows and other sections of llic pro nmi' along the Howe Hound mule have been crying nut for means of reach ing the centres of populating and has beon suffering because of the lack nf aucb facilities, while the province ban likewise been deprived of the bane Hi of the large amount uf produce which Wuuld find ils way In market from that section, were those facilities Btailahle. The cults!ructiun nf the l.ii..' liner Railway afford* an eirel lent opportunity to meet this lung Handing and reaaonable demand, with M'l.suing.' tn all |ier!ii>s.

Low Oost of> Construction The Howe Bound route presents no engineering difficulties and the grades would be very light all lhe way. That portion along the eastern shore of the Hound itself wuuld probably prove the must expensive pieco as to cost of construction, inasmuch as the roadbed must be built along the side of tbe hill for several milea, but the nature of the ground ii. sucb that tbe diffieul- ties would not extend bilgoi^L the actual coat ot, . aaeavating. Tkfcaugh rtipiamtoli Valley and i'emberlon Mer duws tbe cost of construction would be very moderate. Boute Approved by Public Tbese incontrovertible facts fully justify the position of those who maintain that there is bul one logical route for tho construction of the l'euce River railroad and that is the route via the North Hhore, Howe Hound, Hijuamisli Valley and l'emberlun Meadows. Thin in the mule whicii hut been imii caled liy all Hie discussion which has taken place iu Vancouver and Nurlh Vancouver, il is the route which was advocated by the deputation wbicb wailed upon Premier Mcllride and the liocutlve couucil sume weeks ago ami it is perminsable In hope that whether the railway it tu be built as a govern maul undertaking ur liy means uf gov .■ium. uiul assistance tu a railway cum pany, thin is llic mule which will be followed iu lhe construction uf tbe railway.

Har liluu uyes wara regarding me with ati expression of deep and Interested attention, but tbey alao yielded t faint light of somo^iiiotlon which materially aided |ne to a decision. I can mako my poi|tlon clear only by briefly sketching what wai going or In iny own mind. Why did 1 hesitate to decide between Maillot and Burke in charging one or tbe other of tbem with tho iwrpetrsr Hon of thla crlmet—for crime It wu, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Woll, there were several reasons, any of which was sufficient, to Indicate what my attitude toward tbese two men should be. In tb* flrst place, both bad frankly and without tbe least hint of reserve respecting each other's attitude that I bad been able to detect, told stories which tbey must bave found beforehand would lend strongly to Incriminate tbem; hut notwithstanding tbia (aot, tbey had given their account* wltb a knowledge Uiat It tbey maintained a strict silence, I must bav* remained unable to tlnd this Information otherwlso. Tbe hostility between tbe two—and I could not account for It—did not explain thla willingness, because neither had mado au open attempt to direct suspicion toward the other. I make a possible exception ber*: Burke's enigmatic conduct while we were examining the bidden safe might be construed as Innuendo deliberately planned. On the other hand, If be wero Innocent, and considering tbat tbe two had been alone, tben be might honestly have believed Maillot to be sgullty, but wu reluctant to make a charge which be waa unable to defend with tangible proof. Tbo circumstance nl their sun-led agreeing lu all essentials verified my conclusion that both had told Ihe truth; mill It waa possible that eltber of them might not have told all Ihe truth. Again, 1 waa convinced by the manners of both lhat there was more behind the tragedy than had been made to appear, excepting by the haileBt sort of allusion; a potential (actor whose 1 n.i. us, had been barely suggested, whose nature remedied entirely obscure. On tho surface ll looked aa If Mum h.'il■• had slain Felix Page and stolen the ruby. Simple enough. But was thla all? 1 was sure not. The point, though, that I wish to make Is this: whatever the prime motive for Ihu murder might have been, Maillot had not the slightest Idea re- apectlng It, nor did he even suspect that such a motive existed. He was still loo dazed from the whirl of events of tbe inn 1 twenty-four houra to con- alder Ihe mmiur In any other light than tho way In which It most nearly affected himself. As for burke, I was pretty much In doubt. I fell lhat hu knew something that he was keeping In reserve, but what It might he or how to got hold of him and foreo tho Information from lilin I dlu nol at this stage know. If anything at all about tbe puizle was clear, ll waa lhal the two had uot and were not working together. Individually, Ihu evidence—such as ll was —moro strongly Indicated Maillot. It waa at thla momeut that I looked toward Minn Hooper aud decided. "Malllol," said I, tersely, "It's up to you and Uurke lo submit to a personal search." He flushed hotly, but maintained bis attitude of mini. I did not dare a glance In Miss Pluetto's direction. - "Candidly," I added, "I don't think you have (he ruby—-for that matter, I don't think Burke baa either. But such a proceeding Is ouly fair to mc, for If I turn you two itbape louse I'm taking all the cbauces. I ought to bu buu- dllug you both off to Jail; I don't want to do that, you aee, and I deserve some sort of—" 'Enough," Maillot cut In. "I be- llovo you're a good follow, Bwlft; I have no objection to you going over me with a microscope." He rose at once, extended his arms above his head to facilitate my taak, und even easayed a bit of hauler at my hesitating lo begin. In truth It was hard enough to do; tbe presence nf tho two girls msde the oporatlon not only doubly disagree able, bul extremely embarraalng u well. Misa Fluette'* cheeks wore hot wilh Indignation, her bale) eyes snapped. Bhe made uo comment—thank goodness! bul II wa* plain to be seen tbat she restrained heraelf only with tbe greatest efforts. I am pretty adept at "going through" a man; and wbilo In Ihe preaent Instance It required bul a fow momeuls to satisfy myself tbat Maillot could not bav* >tbo gem, I waa all the while acutely sensible of a little foot tapping nervously beneath the table aod an angry look searing my offending back. "There!" I ejaculated at last, with an attempt at making light of tins matter and at Including Miss Hooper -and Miss Fluette a* recipients of my apology. "If you'll only lose sight of Ike man In lhe Instrument, you'U forget Uie liberty, Maillot. bad * certain policy In doing so. H* might, passible have slain hi* uncle; 4f-w, however, the act had not bean wkWP may go; but let me Ull you"— I oyaJ tbem all aerioualy- -"prepare tor a grilling at tbe lnyuuet, I would ad viae you lo be frank, u you bave been with ma; tbe Instant a Jury fuel* tbat anawtr* are Ulng dragged from t wtt- noes Ony straightway reoelve a had Impression. I'm suru Mis* Fluotto would tar rather put up witb unwelcome publicity, tban tkat vou should suffer through any qulxotlo ideas ot shielding hur nam*." He look It all aa I intcudedd he ibould, but never a algu of approval did I f*t from tk* two pretty sglrl*. Wltb my concluding words Miss Fluette tbruit a band under Maillot's arm add gave It an affections^ llttl* squses*. Before tb* door closod, Miss Cooper's head iMnt and she glanced back at nu across her shoulder. Sn* wa* much tin more beautiful of tb* two. OHAPTBR IX. Tracka In tli* (now I knew that Boyal Maillot apprc- daUd bl* position a* well u I did my**lf; anil I Mt perfectly accur* In granting Mm Ul ilbatty. to trutb, I premeditated, but tbe result of a sud' don uncontrollable outburst o( passion, and lis wa* not the tort-ot fellow wbo would mn a wag from tho consequences, however severe they migbt be. The effects ot my friendliness and my willingness to take bim al hia word were plainly demonstrate! by a gratitude which was tha mare Convincing and trustworthy by reason of Its not being outspoken. It he, wH keeping anything back, I was adopting tbe surest means af forcing bit confidence. And 1 meant, too, before* I was through In this house of death, to send' Alexander Burke about his business. My plans concerning tbat gentleman, however, Included an espionage that would record every detail of his conduct for some days to come, During the time I wss wilh Maillot In the library, a number of Mr. Page's business associates had gathered al tbe houae for the purpose of performing such offices ss they could. Among those waj Mr. Ulysses Whltc-of White, Stoliebreaker ft White-Mr. Pago's attorney. Tbis gentleman Informed mo that he waa quite certain tho millionaire had never made any ii'i.ii'iii.-iiiiin disposition of his property. In which event Maillot would inherit the whole estate This was a contingency which the young man bad already mentioned, and lor a few minutes Its reiteration made me grave. After spending some unprofitable j ilm,- with the assembled gentlemou— ! all men of ulTalrs who were Impatient j lo ho off- -I sought out Stodger, finding him engaged in conversation witb the coroner's deputy, a talented and ambitious young physician of th* name of Weutworlh De Breen. Later on Ur. Du Breen aud I became warm personal (rlcnds, and I shall have much lo aay of him before concluding I these "Reminiscences."' I He and I wont together to the laud J Ing to Inspect tbe body, for tbere were one or two matters concerning which I , wa* desirous of hii opinion. Dr. Do s Breen wis u blunt, abrupt young (el j low, not givon much to conversation upon topics outside bis profession, and eveu then his remarks were luvarla bly terse and much to the polnl. He waa very nearsighted, and while be persisted In wearing nose-glasses, It seemed Impossible for him to obtain 1 a pair lhat would remain on bla uoae for more ihun a minute at a time. They wore saved from dealructlon by a black silk cord; and tbere waa something In tlie way wltb which ho would adjust them and Ilx bla attention upou a person or thing, which made you feel tbat whatever escaped hia scru- , tiny must bo surpassingly 'minute. Aud such, Indeed, was tbo tact. He examined the crushed skull, silently and methodically, touching It bere and there with lingers ai light aud refined as any woman's. Not a word did he utter until ol a sudden he bout a scowling look of comproheusloii upon the iron candlcatlck. Tho ouly oraulal wound or contusion waa ou the right temple. "Who did this, Bwlft?" ho aakod. "That's the problem, Doctor," was my reply. "There are two chaps, though, who are lu a dovll of a ticklish position. Since yoii'ro here uow, It will probably be you who will conduct the Inqueat, and I'm a lmii cur ious lu see how thu evidence strikes 1 you." I Ho nodded, and after deftly recover- ; lug his glasses, cmplled Ihe pocluils. ; They yielded up nothing of the slightest consequence lo cither of us, and In a moment Dr. De Breen hesitated and frowucd over the body's left bund. lie presently look II lu hia owu Inn d anil scrutinized It Inteutly, I waiihlug him Interestedly, for hu had stumbled upon one ol the very points concerning : which I wanted his opinion. Next ho turned quickly to thu right hand. Until members were bruised and dis- I colored lu spots, and bore a number I of abrasions. j Dr. De Breen now darted one of his quick, ponelrating looks at me. "Carrying somelhlng." lie suld con clsely. "They couliln'l bu nl. his grip rapped him over Iho head." "80 that's what you make of those 1. i.n.1.i-i ond bruises. Is It?"—for I wanted lo bu* convinced. "Sure. . . . What was II?" "I think I know," was my reply: "an oblong, leather box, aboul lour inches by three or three and a half" "Humph!"—aa he filled lu lhe blanks of a removal penult "uut in 11 rb lo kllra man for." "Kvcr hear of the Paternoster Ruby?" said I, casually. - Dr. De Brent turned in me with i.p lllli 11 brows, and Ills glasses al once shut fo the end of Iheir lelbcr. He blinked a moment. "The deVII!" he then muttered. "You don't aay I" From which I galliend Uiat he bad heard of ll. and also thai he hud already drawn his own Inference as lo the contents of Ihe leather box. "I'll '.mi nil afler tbe Inquest.

And tbe lasl I saw of him, as he went away, he was still feeling a'm lo/sly for lhe silken cord, the while hia mind was Inlcnl upon Hum thing else. A queer, congenial chap wu Wcnlworlh lie llrcep. and aa keen and lin.' strung, despite Ills absent-mindedness, aa Is said lo be tbo bridge leading across lo Mahomet's paradise.

Abbott, director of tbe Astrophysical Observatory of the -Smithsonian Institute at Washington"!! bus advanced the theory that tlio sun is composed of a gaseous or vaporous substance, oxeept in the spots. He holds that tho temperature is too groat lo permit its being in a solid or liquid condition. As tbe temperature attributed lo the sun, 6,600 degrees absolute, would melt auy known substance, it seems only reasonable to believe this statement. He further states that the specific gravity is too low to permit the suit's mass to be other than gaseous. The visible \\-n" of Ihe sun is in the form of a gaseous shell, known as the photosphere. Although it is theoretically probable lhat the diameter of the aun is slowly decreasing at a certain rate, due to radiation and i out rm- iii.ii. il cannot be decided practically as it would take 10,000 years to cause an appreciable change in the solar diameter. Evan afler transmitting oner ;-. to the earth in the form of light ami heal, through some 63,000,000 miles of S|iace, duriug a period of about 50,- 000,000 years the suu is apparently none the worse for wear.
