Then the startling announcement made that Folsom had been murdered in the ocean--stabbed to death. Ross, the dead man's 'valet, is ques- j tloned, as are Barron and his wife,' but no light is shed on the mystery. Poliee take command of the situation until the arrival of Anastasia. They learn that Folsom and Neville had been business associates. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XI. Folsom," Neville c Haven't yoi yet? Com got > to Valdon's arartmerjts.

"R: who murdered my brother?" , A quick glance passed from to another of her hearers, sayira plainly as words could do that she was hysterical and must be calmed.

"I certainly hope to do that, Miss Folsom." "I don't expect you to do it, I expect to do it myself- I said I look to you for help." (To be continued.) Ontario Fur Farmers Will Benefit by Flood Mississippi Area Almost Bare of Wild Life While the loss of wild animal life may seem unimportant In comparis with the appalling property loss from the recent disastrous floods In Mississippi valley, yet it Is om the distressing features of this paralleled calamity, declares an tide in the August issue of "Field and Stream Magazine," which quotes estimate made by the United States Bureau of Biological Survey that least fifty per cent, of the small game animals in the flooded districts have been killed. "All floods destroy ground-dwelling game and furbearlng animals, nests and young of ground-nesting birds, and even many of the birds themselves," points out Field and Stream. "Enough is known to be able to that in many wide areas all such wild life has practically been wiped out. The flood' came at a particularly unfortunate time so far as animal life la concerned, because the young of most species were too- small to save themselves from drowning. The same can be said of young birds such as wild turkey, quail, grouse and innumerable species of song and Insectivorous birds which nest on or near ground. The loss of quail and wild turkey Is particularly unfortunate, as these two species of valuable game birds are at a rather low ebb anyway, and many years of care and protection will be necessary to bring them Immediate Effect. Increased prices for furs need not be anticipated because furriers must have quantity and quality of pelts to start a fashion for a particular fur, but the Mississippi situation should enhance the value of breeding musk-rats, mink and coon. This is where the Ontario fur farmer will profit by our neighbor's catastrophe. The demand for breeding stock is bound to be great and incidentally it would appear that the prices of good foxes should advance in sympathy. The rusty, non-discript patch silver fox will meet its Waterloo simultaneously with the advance of the higher grades. Now, more than ever, is a good time to face facts squarely and "clean house" on the many worthless so-called silver foxes being bred in Ontario.
