On the bank of one of thcD© wider sec- tions, cppo.site the clearing whore stco<l the head-keeper's cottage, n de- scrte<l mill reached its lichen-covered gables amid the tree tops. To this pictures.cue desolation Sir Dudley Gknistcr came from the want • ttoxmg lock fitted to th« door and iron bar*, placed acroaa the win- «Ibw. Ape you competent to do those jcba yourself without calling in help from the town?" I "I could fix the lock all right," said I the keeper. "I ain't eo eur* about the . bare. Seemingly, Sir Dudley, your! gaest isn't one that will take much exercise?" "None at all," was th<e curt rejoin- der. "What about the bars, then?" Grimes walked to the diamond- paned window and looked down. "Un- less the party has got wings there ain't no bars needed," he said. "It's a plumb drop into the mill-racC' No foothold for a ladder, and anyone as jumped would be drowned for sure." Sir Dudley by personal inspection conlirnied the .statement. Though the mill itself was rotten the artificial channel that had furnished power to the derelict wheel was aa ueep and strong as ever. The best of swimmers would havo been hard put to it to stem the current without being swept into the %vpecked wheel. "We will let the bars go," he said. "The n'.sk will be K'ss than having them made and fitted by a gossiping blacksmith. Now, r.s to a second guest chamber, Grimes.

"There is the old grain store, on the ground floor of the mill, sir," he replied. "It's got no window and it's swarming with rats, but it would hold anyone as could put up with the damp." "Show it to me," Sir Dudley com- manded They descended the stairs, and, passing into the mill proper, came to a truly gruesome place, a veritable dungeon reeking with foul odors and echoing the lap of the mill-race against its 'outer -walls- Sir Dudley lit a succession of matches and peered round. "This will do," he said. "Better put a new lock here, too. Now when cnn you be ready, Grimee?" "I ought to have three days, sir." ''You can have Ihem, and you will get due notice before tho place is wanted."

That stern task-mistrees his angu- lar wife, the only being under the stars of whom he stood in dread, was ''mbrocing and volubly chattering to a fashionably dressed widow lady, the freshness of whose "weeds" bespoke her bereavement as recent. John Grimes lifted one hand to shade hie eyes. "Djammjad if that widder woman ain't our Sally!" CHAPTER XV. THE EMPTY DRAWER- Miss Maud Plair approached the great front door of Beeshwood Grance with some diffidence. Recognition by Sir Dudley had no terrors for her. The present baronet had succeeded to the estates after her departure for fresh fields of conquest. During his rare visits in Sir Philip's time when he was plain Mr. Dudley Glenister, she had never chsnced to meet him. Old Hinkley, the butler, who would probably open the door to her, was n different proposition. He had licen familicir with her from childhood and she remembered that he was a shrewd observer. Crimes, a sour smile on his lips, turn- ed to close the outer door of the mill.

The total amount of as- surances in force with the Company now approaches the billion and a half figure, 5I,-IS7,OOO,000, an increase tor the year of over $231,500,000. The total net income tor tho year exceeded »100,OCO,000â€" live times what It was ten years ago and more than $23,000,- 000 in e.xcesa of the Income for the previous year.

The account to provide for un- foreseen contingencies has been in- creased by $1,500,000 and now amounts to $12,SOO,000. The sum of $1,000,000 has been written off the Company's properties; an additional $500,000 has been set aside in antici- pation ot tho greater longevity ot an- nuities â€" the total provision under this head now being $2,000,000. Another $60,000 has been set aside to provide for claims with respect to total dis- ability cases as yet unreported. $11,- 000,000 has been paid or alloted as proflts to policyholders during the year, and over $0,000,000 has been contingently allotted to deterred dividend policies Issued prior to 1911 and to live-year distribution policies U>- provide for profits accrued but not yet payable. After making these liberal deduc- tion and allocations, over $11,000,000 has been added to Ib^ undivided sur- plus, which now stands at more than $45,000,000. Tliere is good news again for the participating policyholders ot tho Company In the announcement that the scale of dividends to be paid to policyholders during the year com- mencing April Ist next will bo again Increased â€" this for the eighth succes- sive year.
