For the beneâ€" fit of any who want to read this fine adventurous romance a synopsis of the preceding chapters is given herewith: CHAPTERS 1 to III~â€"Peter Hastings, a~young mining engineer, | attributing his‘ business ruin to the unscrupulous rivalry 0f Adam Vidal, breaks into the ncuse occupied, since Vidal‘s death 3y his daughter, Judith, and a few > serâ€" vants. It is his intention to recoup himâ€" self, in some measure, by stealing her emeralds. Whilst on the point of openâ€" ing the safe, he hears a scream,> and raclng, in the direction of the sound, £e°s Judith struggling in the arms of man. Peter knocks him out, and a_t Judith‘s urgent request ties and gags him "He learns that the man, Paul Lanâ€" yon, who was ker father‘s secretary, is endeavouring to blackmail her into marrying him. He had been trying to kiss her when she screamed. Brushing aside all Peter‘s attempts to explain his presence there, Judith asks him to help her to recover certain of her father‘s letters thit Lanyon is using to blackâ€" mail her. Peter agrees, and with the aid of Lanyon‘s keys they secure them from his flat. Afterwards Peter releases Lanyon and as the latter leaves the house he warns Judith that Peter . is an escaped convict suspected of murder. CHAPTER IV and part of Vâ€"Judith, far from taking notice of Lanyon‘s watning, offers Peter the position of land agent on her estate in Hertfordâ€" shire, and Peter, convinced at length that the offer is not actuated solely by gratitude, accepts. CHAPTER V (Continued) Leaving the suitcases, Peter hurried into another shop, where he got his hair cut and bought a sponge, nalil, and tooth brushes, new shaving tackle and a few other odds and ends. He carried these back to Maurice‘s where they, too, were packed for him, and it was just 20 to 12, whin he stepped into a taxi and started back to Hampstead. "Well, you have been quick," was her greeting; then she stopped, and gazed at Peter with widening eyes. "What have you done to yourself? I should hardly have known you,‘"‘ she exclaimed. Peter got rather red. "Thanks to you, I‘m decently dressed for the first time in two years " he answered. "Decently!" repeated Judith. "It‘s a miracle. Where did you find that Lovat flannel, and how in the world did you get such a fit, all in a couple of hours?" "A friend at court," saidg Peter with a grin. "But the suit‘s off a peg. Luckily I‘m stock size." Judith nodded her beautiful head. "It‘s exactly right," she said as she touched his sleeve with her long slender fingers. "Collar, tie and all. It proves that you*have taste, Peter. I‘m very pleased with you." "I‘m glag you like it," said Peter‘ simply. "Shall we start?" "I‘m quite ready," she said. "Put your suitcases in behind, with Daisy. You can sit in front with me." "You‘ll drive?"" Peter questioned "Yes, but I can turn her over to you later." Judith took the Aylesbury road and thence Bicester to Banbury, where they stopped at an oldâ€"fashioned hotel and had a late lunch. Then Peter took the whes! and from Banbury they went on to Stratfordâ€"onâ€"Avon. The country was green and lovely after the heavy rain of the previous night, and with every mile Peter‘s spirits rose. He was leaving behind him all the horrors of the past six months and going back into his own county. Worcester came in sight with its stately cathedral, they crossed the broad Severn, and went on due west down the valley of the Teme. Judith pointed to a byâ€"road leading north and thr:e miles un it they came to the drive gates of Cranham. Peteér drew a long breath as the front of the house came into view. "You like it?" Judith asked softly. "It‘s perfect," said Peter with emâ€" phasis, and really he was not far Now, continue the story in detail. beams.

He lay awake for a long time, going over in his mind the events of the past 24 hours. tea for him and did not talk any more for a time. Afterwards she showed him the garden and they walked down to the snug little agent‘s house. :‘That night Peter went to bed in a lowâ€"roofed, raftered room, â€"with â€" the scent of mignonette rising from the " "T wonder why she‘s so gooq to me," he said at last. And not finding: any answer to his puzzle he turned on his side ‘and was almost instantly asléep. _ ‘Next morning (Judith â€"introduced Pster. to ‘her‘isailiff, George Timmins, sturdy, oldâ€"fashioned fellow with a weatherâ€"beaten face and side whiskers, and Peter went off with him to make a round of the place. What interested him: most was the quarry, â€"a big cut in the north side of the hill on which the house was built. â€"~"Why, it‘s Dhuâ€"Stone!" Peter exâ€" claimed as he saw the bare wall of dull, bluish rock. ‘"Same as the Clee "It‘s very ‘like it," Timmins agreed. "Good â€"stuff for road building. We‘ve lot of orders. Trouble is to get the right men to work it. We have some chaps but they‘re a troublesome lot. They get huffed at nothing at all, and two of ‘em quit only yesterday.‘" "We‘ll scttle that," declared Peter. "I know where Iâ€"can get men. But this is <a big thing, Mr. Timmins. By the look of it the whole hill is ironstone. What profit did you make last year?" ‘*"*About 800 pounds clear." "We can treble .that," Peter deâ€" clared. Judith was delighted at Peter‘s news. "I was getting positively hard up," she said with a laugh. "A couple of thousand a year more will be a Godâ€" send. I knew you‘d ‘sring me luck, ~The place had been run in an oldâ€" fashioned way. There was nothing but a cart track into the bottom. The first thing was to make a road fit for motor lorries. To do this it was necesâ€" 'sary to blast away a projecting spur lof rock, and Peter set the men to work ’to drill holes for explosive. The men soon saw he knew his job, and within 24 hours he was on good terms with Delighted at the idea of doing someâ€" thing in returi for Judith‘s kindness, Peter threw himself into the work of developing the quarry, and the first thing he did was to get in touch with the big firm under whom he had been traincd as a mining engineer. They readily promised to send him down half a dozen good men, and as soon as these arrived,.Peter set to work to open out the quarry. «~All except one. This was a man called Mcrson. Morson worked well enough and was not uncivil, yet Peter, who knew men, had a feeling that there was something quser about him. Severâ€" al times he noticed Morson watching him with an odd expression in his greenish eyes. Peter said nothing, but resolved to keep his own eyes open. It took a whole week to prepare for the big blast. More than 300 pounds of blasting powder haq to be stowed away in the drillâ€"holes under the foot of the huge mass of rock. The powder and fuse were kept in a small magazine on the hillside some distance above the quarry. Peter nimself kept the key. It was on a Tuesday evening that the drilling was finished. Next day, the grills would be packed, the fuses fixed and at four o‘clock on Wednesâ€" day afternoon the was due. On that Tuesday evening Peter felt oddly restless. Judith noticed it but saig nothing, for she knew how anxious he was about the success of the blast. About halfâ€"past nine he excused himâ€" self but, instead of going to bed, he changed and went out. It was a perâ€" fect summer night, warm and still. No moon, but the sky was sown with stars and in any case Peter knew every inch of the way to the quarry, and did not need to use the flashlight he carried. The path over the hill passed close to the magazins, and as he topped the rise Peter suddenly caught a gleam of light through the trees. And the light was at the magazine. Every nerve in his body tingling, Peter crept forward. Something was wrong, but how wrong he had no idea until he gainea a bush about twenty paces from the magazine and saw a man in the act of picking the padlock. He was working by the gleam of a tiny flashlight, but the light was enough to show his face. He was Morâ€" Some men in Peter‘s place have rushed forward, but Peter stayed where he was. He intended to find out what Morson was after. He did not think it was just theft. A few bags of powder were hardly worth stsaling. It was something worse. Oddly enough, his thoughts flashed back to Paul Lanyon, and the savagte threat he had seen in the man‘s dark face. He wondscred if Morson was Lanâ€" yon‘s creature. ‘There was a click. Morson hadâ€"masâ€" tered the lock. He opened the door and went in. Peter came out of his shelter and crept closer. Morson was busy, but no with the powder. He had taken the thick colls of black fuse from the case in which it was packed and was subâ€" stituting cther coils which he took from a bag h> carried. A chill of horror ran through Peter‘s veins, to be succeeded almost instantly by a fit of cold rage: Dashing forward, he seized Morson by the collar. ° "Give me that fuse!" he ordered. Without a word Morson handed it cver. Peter turned his flash on it. Theé coil looked like ordinary fuse, but Peter noticed that the black came uff c« his hand. He wet a finger and rubbed the fuse. A scarlet thread showed in the cover. It was quickâ€"firing fuse. Substiâ€" tuted for slow, it would mean certain of the man who lighted it. And that would se Peter himself. "Who put you up to this, Morson?" he demanded. Insteag of answering. Morson‘s right arm swung up. A sandâ€" bag which he had drawn from hig pocket thudded across Peter‘s head, and Petsr dropped as if he had been shot. (To be Continued) Inspiring Address to the Varsity Alumni (Continued From Page One) | President Cody said that if these buildâ€" ‘ ings were in the Old Land people would be making pilgrimages to see the wonâ€" derful art and beauty in the main enâ€" trance. From three buildings the Uniâ€" versity had grown to 60 modern strucâ€" tures. He mentioned the Royal Ontaric Museum, under the joint control of the University ang the provincial govâ€" ernment, as particularly worthy of: a visit, He made special mention of the wonderful gift made by Mrs. D. A. Dunlap as a memorial to her husband, one of the original directors of the Hollinger, this gift being the second largest tslescope in the world. It placed Canads on the map in the study of Iastronomy Similar benefactions in other dspartments hag helped . the University through the reduced revenue entailed by the depression. In speaking of the work of theâ€"Uniâ€" versity in geology and mining enginâ€" eering, President Cody touched again on the special value of the research deâ€" partments established. The library of the University of Toâ€" ronto was given snecial. mention. ..In harq times, the speaker said, the liâ€" brary was more ‘used than in more prosperous days, but the use of the lisrary teonded to increased study and interest. "The new spirit of the University," said the speaker, "has led to the use of the college night and day." Président Cody in referring to beneâ€" factions of particular value to the Uniâ€" versity had svecial mention for Hari House. This valuable department of university life had outstanding value in drawing the students together in club life. The gymnasium, dining hall and other features were mentioned. Referâ€" ence was also made to the facilities and accommodations for women at the University of Toronto. l "The University of Toronto,‘" said President Cody, "has tried to strike the happy medium between undue specialization and undue spreading out." Another point made in the address was that there was no harm for pupils to know that life was not one huge picâ€" nic, but that unpleasant tasks and the grind of routine studies had to be enâ€" dured to attain the fruits of study and training. , "We had to raise the fees 25 per cent. but still they are lower than in colâ€" leges of equal standing in the United States," said President Cody in disâ€" cussing the fact that in recent years the University of Toronto has had to bear a larger share of the cost of maintenancs. There was olige way in which the loâ€" cal Alumni could do something for the University of Toronto, according to President Cody, who added that they would also be helping deserving pupils and: human progress. This was by giving scholarships, loans, bursaries. At nresent 50 per cent. of the stuâ€" dents at Varsity were from Toronto and its immediate district. Scholarâ€" ships would help to equalize educaâ€" tional opportunities. President Cody gave a brief review 6f the record of research work at Toronâ€" to University in its several departâ€" ments, with special reference to the outstanding value of the medical reâ€" search work. "Research work is the very life of a university," he said, "and extends the bounds of knowledge.‘ He made it very clear that there was no basis of truth in a‘ more or less popular idea that scientists were atheists. He quoted names of distincâ€" tion to show that many outstanding scientists had been devout Christilans. ‘The effect of the university on stuâ€" dents was not to weaken their faith »ut quite the contrary. Stories to the opposite effect he blamed on loose and thoughtless newspaper talk anxious for nrewspapers here," he said, "but some of our city newspapers sometimes carâ€" ry themselves away in the desire for sensation.‘" He mentioned the wonderâ€" ful demonstration of loyalty at the . He paid high tribute to the greeted the + conclusion â€" of© President Cody‘s eloquenst address. : In moving a vote of t.hanks to the guest spegker, J; T. Jackson, secretary of ~Porcupine U. ~"of> T.
