"HMe loves the Incas better than anyâ€" thing, and says it was one of the greai tragedies of history that a lower civilizâ€" ation conquered a nobler one, when Spain swallowed up Peru."

They gave willingly all that was most precious to them. With gold and silver and precious stones they adorned their noble temples and brought thither the fruits and harvest of the carth, together with the proâ€" ductions of their own industry â€" the finest achievements of their craftsmen and husbandmen. And that, surely, is about the most rational form of idolaâ€" try it is possible to imagine. Beneficent and allâ€"sufficing nature, was their real deity. and they took their convictions far afield, for where the Incas conâ€" quered and extended their domain, all native blood rites and religious torâ€" tures {nd massacres woere suppressed, and the native peoples taught a higher ideal of humanity. "Now touching in Incas and those defects of character that I attributed to them, perhaps too harshly, we have got to remember fundamental facts, my friends, for out of them arises their history. To begin with, they never shed innozent blood save in the rarest instances. Their altars were not polâ€" luted, and they display the spirit of Abel rather than Cain. They claimed a heavenly origin, and, for their time, behaved in a manncr quite worthy of it. The sun, the moon, the evening star. and the spirit that spoke in the thunder were their gods. The people were relizious and paid their toll to "We will leave. Benny Boss waiting for a moment, then," he said. " And that will not trouble him, for he was used to waiting, and knew the time to strike. Patience, combined with his cther serpentine: qualities, served his purpose well enough. "Please go on!" said Angus. "I‘m lcarning Spanishâ€"old Spanishâ€"to read the fine books about it. Signor Fernandez loved to talk, and found his prosent audience quite to his tlaste. "We must graut that the Governâ€" ment was despotic and created for the nation a sort of supcrior slavery. Thus superstition and force governed the country and created a supine, phlezâ€" matic spirit destined to make it an casy prey. "Those who had set the slogan ‘Love one anothecr‘ upon their banners swiftly went down before the battle cry of Spain, and their dream of good comâ€" radeship and universal humanity made by the Jesuits were governing South America precisely on the same old lines of superstition and force that the Incas were used to employ. ‘"Yet," concluded the old man "Utht little company of our ancient Indian people remaining, still cherish their "HMe was an unconscious artist.

"The man was in his primt wWNCD we first met,." began Jacob, "and a« nothing pleased him better than talking about himself I heard a good deal of his history. One could not, however, reâ€" gard him as a very truthful narrator.

They still mourn the imperial Incas, and their vanished glories and bitter woes are handed down by fathe; to son, by mother to daughter, through the avenues of the years." "I should judge there was no quesâ€" tion about it, Maine," replied the other. "The fact is established on massive grounds. Sanguine historians judge there may well be treasures to the value of fifty millions hidden in Titicaca; and they are likely for the most part to remain there, for her waters are in places cight hundred feet decep. One may â€" compute. where the . treasure arrived from Cuzco; but the lake was full of heavy craft in those days and no man can say where these precious things have been submerged. _ Some, however, were undoubtedly recovered) and that fact brings me back to Betiny Boss, whom we have kept waiting long enough."

He agreed to serve me and, for a time, worked solely in my employment on the waters and shores of Lake Titicaca. In the capture of birds he was industrious and most ingenious. I look back at Benny as one of the founders of my unique collection. "I paid Mr. Boss very well," conâ€" tinued the old man, "and we ncver quarrelled; but presently he appcared to lose interest in the birds and I folt they had ceased to be his first thought.

But military genius has made rapid strides. Brokers and Sheep Brokers generally have always been something like. a bunch Of sheep. (We said sheepâ€"not lambs). There have been a faithful few who have bravely advertised through the seven lean years, but It is so long since the rank and file of brokers have adâ€" vertised that most of us have forgotten our theorics. Bombing plants can now penetrate behind the battle lines and subject the women and the children to the same terrible death that menâ€" must face in battle. Military genius ‘has even> cffeoted more than that. . The wonders of military science not only makes it possible for dittle girls and little boys to be killed ‘outright. It makes it possible for them to be pitiably starved. When business is good they fall over themselves, and each other, advertising for more business. They all want to crowd their ads on the same page on the same day. We notice, however, that Haig, Rennic and Co. are the first to come out of their trance. They are out looking for business with a big ad. They deserve to get it.

"He left me after our conversation. and said the he was going to stop with friends at Lima for a few daays and then return to his home beside Lake Titicaca. I never saw him again, but after a couple of years were passed, heard a further instalment of his story. Benny now achieved notoriety, and was wantâ€" ed by the authorities. Doubtless anticiâ€" pating this demand, however, he evaded the chalienge by making himself scarce. For a consid¢rable while no news of his activitics was forthcoming, and ncither the members of his family nor anybody else could guess where he might be. "Meantime, his story and the charges levelled against him saw the light. Two brothersâ€"Emilio and Juan Garciaâ€"â€"had entered a socret parltnership with Benny. It apprared that they found the money for this enterprise, while Mr. Boss supplied the brains and needâ€" ful exertion. The gamble had betn undertaken at Benny‘s inspiration, and he had fired the Garcia brothers with his own enthusiasm.. As I have told you, it is historicaly certain that on the approach of the Spaniards, and beâ€" fore the capital city of the Incas fell to them. immense quantities of their treasures were removed from Cuzco, conveyed south, and buried in the watâ€" ers of Leke Titicaca, (‘To be tÂ¥ Business is sort of tough down in the States. #: + | For example, if the country is dividâ€" ed up into 147 trading areas, there isn‘t single one that doesiv‘t show busiâ€" ness below normal, and the percentage below normal extends from two down to 38. Maybe the morality squads ha\c got on the job. The Black Prince of Creasey Plorric Cullure calls our attention to the fact that Inspector Prank Creasey will accompany the quints to Toronto. One year ago, Austin Texas, Houston, Texas, and Mobile, Alabama, reported business two or three per cent. above normal, but even these have slipped beâ€" low the normal line.

A‘ mamn from Vancouver wants to know how a Vancouver citizen, illuâ€" minated or: otherwise, could see any= thing on Puget Sound, because Puget sound is off â€"Seattle. The answer is perfectly simple. The Vancouverâ€"~citizen could be atâ€" tending ‘a convention at Seattle and that is whv he would be illuminated. Yoâ€" Yo Ycaterday an exâ€"broker we used to know called to see us. And listen, girls! She says he is very handsome. He first brought in a chap named.

The year 1938 was one of complete success, he stated, ore reserves at the end of the year being as great as on any property in Canada, at between 3,500,000 and 4,000,000 tons above the 650 level.> Development of the second level has béen completed and work ot blocking out and stoping the ore has started on the third level. Mine is beâ€" ing developed systematically â€" under Hollinger‘s supervision, and work is not being rushed. After third level is deâ€" veloped,; prospecting and development will be done between the 650 and 850 horizons. Pit work will be finished in two or three months. Up till a short time ago, at least 70 per cent of the ore milled was coming from the pit. That posiâ€" tion is now reversed, onlyâ€"about 25 per cent coming from pit and balance from underground. Winze will go down to the 1,050 horizon, with the view in mind Oof establishing the jJaw crusher below the 850 level, which would effect a big saving in costs.
