CHAPTER LXIX. (Continued. )

Arthur’s eycs began to waver. said he. ‘I never wronged him. lamented his misfortune.’

‘You were not the cause.’

‘Never!—so help me Heaven!’

‘Monster!’ said Helen, turning away in contempt and horror. | ‘Oh, that is it—is it,’ said Arthur, wild- Iv. ‘You break faith with me for him? /You insult mefor him? IJ must bear any- thing from you, for | love you; but, at least, I will sweep him out of the path.’

‘He ran to the door, opened it, and there | was Burt, listening. ‘Are you an officer.’

‘Yes.’

‘Then arrest that man this moment; he is Robert Penfold, a convict returned before his time. | Burt came into the room, locked the ‘door, and put the key in his pocket. ‘Well, sir, said he to Robert Penfold, ‘1 know |you are a quick hitter. Don't let us have |a row over it this time. If you have got

table.’

‘I will go with you on one condition,’ said Robert. ‘You must take the felon as well as the martyr. This is the felon,’ and he laid his hand on Arthur’s shoulder, | who cowered under the touch at first, but {soon began to act violent indignation.

‘Take the ruffian away at once,’ he cried.

‘What, before I hear what he has got to say!’

‘Would you listen to him against a merchant of the city of London, a man of unblemished reputation?’

‘Well, sir, you see we have got a hint that you were concerned in scuttling a ship; and that is a felony. So I think I'll just hear what he has got to say. You need not fear any man’s tongue if you are innocent.’

‘Sit down, if you please, and examine these documents,’ said Robert Penfold. ‘As to the scuttling of the ship, here is the deposition of two seamen, taken on their death-bed, and witnessed by Miss Rolleston and myself.’

‘And that book he tried to steal,’ said Helen.

Robert continued: ‘and here is Under- cliff’s facsimile of the forged note. Here are specimens of Arthur Wardlaw’s hand- writing, and here is Undercliff’s report.

The detective ran his eye hastily over the report, which we slightly condense.

On comparing the forged note with genu- ine specimens of John Wardlaw’s hand- writing, no less than twelve deviations from his habits of writing strike the eye; and every one of these twelve deviations is a deviation into the habit of Arthur Ward- law, which is an amount of demonstrat-on rarely attained in cases of forgery.

1. TuHeCaprrat L.—Compare in ‘London’ (forged note) with the same letter in ‘Lon- don’ in Wardlaw’s letter.

2. Tue Caprrat D.—Compare this let- ter in ‘Date’ with the same letter in ‘Dearest.’

3. THe Caprtat T.—Compare it in ‘Two’ and ‘Tollemache.’

4. The word ‘To; see ‘To pay’ ia forged note and third line of letter.

5. Small ‘o’ formed with a loop in the up-stroke.

6. The manner of finishing the letter ‘v.’

7. Ditto the letter ‘w ’

8. The imperfect formation of the small ‘a.’ This and the looped ‘o’ run through the forged note and Arthur Wardlaw’s letter, and are habits entirely foreign to the style of John Wardlaw.

9. See the ‘‘th” in connection.

10. Ditto the ‘‘of” in connection.

11. The incautious use of the Greek e. John Wardlaw never uses this e. Arthur Wardlaw never used any other, apparently. The writer of the forged note began right, but at the word Robert Penfold, glided insensibly into his Greek e, and maintained it to the end of the forgery. This looks as if ke was in the habit of writing these two words.

12. Compare the words ‘Robert Penfold’ in the forged document with the same words in the letter. The similarity is so striking, that, on these two words alone the writer could be identified beyond a doubt.

13. Great pains was taken with the sig- nature, and it is like John Wardlaw’s writ- ing on the surface; but go below the sur- face, and it is all Arthur Wardlaw.

The looped o, the small r, the | dropping below the d, the open a, are all Arthur Wardlaw’s. The open loop of the final w is a still bolder deviation into A. W.’s own hand. The final flourish is a curious mis- take. It is executed with skill and free- dom; but the writer has made the lower line the thick one. Yet John Wardlaw never does this.

How was the deviation caused? Ex- amine the final flourish in Arthur Wardlaw’s signature. It contains one stroke enly, but then that stroke is a thick one. He thought he had only to prolong his own stroke and bring it around. He did this extremely well, but missed the dezper characteristic—the thick upper stroke. This is proof of a high character ; altogether I am quite prepared to testify upon oath that the writer of the letter to Miss Rolleston, who signs himself Arthur Wardlaw, is the person who forged the promissory note.

To these twelve proofs, one more was now added. Arthur Wardlaw rose, and, with his knees knocking together, said, ‘Don’t arrest him, Burt; let him go.’

‘Don’t let him go,’ cried old Penfold. ‘A villain! I have got the number of the notes from Benson. I can prove he bribed

He has ruined my poor boy.” (To be continued. )

The Loan Bill in the Senate, SENATOR HOWLAN’S SPEECH.

(Concluded. )

Hon. Mr. HowLran—And, as my hon. friecd remarks, built their raikways, too; and a great deal they are thanked for it by the public sentiment of the United States today. We have been told by the senior ‘member for Halifax that the through traffic on our Canadian Pacific Railway would be ‘nothing, while we have before us the re- ports of the through traffic of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific Railways, show- ing the enormous quantities of money that have been earned by those reads. But we are told by the hon. gentleman from Hali- fax that, unless one British Columbian is ‘worth thousands of Canadians from Old Canada, it is unwise to build this railway. Such views and sentiments as this are net worthy of a member of this hon. House. We have staked the credit of Canada on the building of this road, and we have gone on and built 2,000 miles of it, and what are we asked to do now! We are simply asked to advance $7,500,000 at the present time to clear off the ficating indebtedness of the Company, and the conditions of this Bill are that if that sum of money is not refunded by 1891, that all the expenditures that have been made on this Canadian Pacific Railway fall into the hands of the Government. That is one of the provisions of the Bill, and what is the next? The Government must have well ascertained, and have been well satisfied that there is

NO FICTITIOUS FLOATING DEBT

belonging to any portion of the private business of the Company or otherwise than that of the Pacific Railway, and having ascertained that not one dollar can be taken for the purpose of buying branch lines or devoted to any other purpose than that of this railway, the money can only be paid upon the certificate of the Chief Engineer of the railway as the work progresses. Surely that is a sufficient guarantee and security for us that the money will not be diverted from the purpose for which it is granted. Those gentlemen who come from the Maritime Provinces know something of the building of ships, and the terms on which those who build them are supplied. A man contracts to build a vessel of so mayy tons barden, at so much per ton. After his contract is signed he goes to the different .parties who sup- ply material, and says “I have made a contract for the building of a vessel, for which I shall receive so much money, when all the materialis in the yard; so much when the vessel is in frame; so much when she is planked and ceiled, and se much when launched and delivered.” He goes on to build the ship, and finds that he has taken his contract too low, or, per- haps, i. banker has failed. He then goes to Mr. Brown, or Mr. Jones, and says: ‘‘My ship is on the stocks in frame, but I cannot go any further because my banker has failed, and I cannot get sup- plies.” Mr. Brown sends his head car- penter to examine the work done, and make an estimate of the material on hand, and if warranted in doing so, as in this case, he advances a sum sufficient to launch the ship. That is about exactly where we are in this matter. We have taken upon ourselves to build this railway, and we have given the contract to the Syndicate to build it. They have explained to the Government that they have en- deavored, by every possible means in their power, to carry out this great work, but they have found it impossible to do so from a variety of reasons, Their credit has been cried down, it the first place by their enemies and rivals, and by such speeches as we have heard here to-night, and the Government comes to their assist- ance. Anyone who has heard the speech of the hon. gentleman from Halifax must conclude that the hon. gentleman has no faith in this work; that it is a useless work, and that the further we go with it the more worthless it will become, and that it is better to leave it where it is as there is no hurry and no haste for it. Is that the way in which this Dominion is going to be built up? Is that the way in which the credit of Canada is to be maintained in the money markets of the world? Is that the way to inspire confidence in those whom we invite to come to this country with a view to making their homes in it? Suppose we stop the work and throw several (housand men out of employment, and the news goes abroad that our great work is a failure, that it is a useless project, and that, like the Fort Francis Lock, it isa monument of the folly, inability, foolish- ness and weakness of the Government, would those workmen think of coming back to this country? Would we have

THOUSANDS OF EMIGRANTS

coming to our shores in the spring, as we expect there will be, if it was found that thousands of men were thrown out of em- ployment by the stoppage of this great national undertaking?) Noe; they would say keep clear of Canada; trust not the public men of Canada, they have no faith in their own country; they are merely a par- cel of children, who have not the ability to manage the country they live in. That would be the conclusion that would be arrived at by intending emigrants. I say that if this work were now stopped, the evil effects it would have upon the country could not be counteracted by any efforts that the Government could make during my lifetime, or the lifetime of the youngest member of this House, in the eyes of the world. I say it is our own interest to give the Government every support we ‘can in this matter. If there were ne con- trolling powers in this Bill; if there was nothing in it but simply a provision that the Government might go on and pay the Syndicate this large sum of money trom ‘the Treasury as they demanded it, without ‘any proof that it was being devoted to the

SINGLE Cortes Two CrEnts.

VOL. 14.---NQ, 107, completion of this work, then I say we ought to place such controlling power in |the Bill; but in my judgment no better ‘could be devised that the money shall be properly utilized in the completion of the road, and refunded to the country. than we have in this mea- sure. It has been so carefully drawn up and prepared, that, to my niind, it is im- possible that we can have better security. Suppose it should happen, as we are told it will by hon, gentlemen opposite, that after these men get the money they will throw

the road back on our hands! Supposing we have to

FORECLOSE OUR MORTGAGE

after the money is expended, we are in a perfectly safe position to take the road, and go on and finish it. If we take the land at half the price put on it here to-night, and take the number of miles of railway that have been already built, and will be built as the money is expended, I contend we will be in a safe position to go on and complete the rcad, and we will then have it cheaper than we could possibly have built it ourselves, and cheaper than any estimate of the probable cost than has been submitted to Parlia- ment since the Pacific Railway has been spoken of, We are told that it is of no importance whether this road should be unished in two years or in five years. In all great undertakings, no matter what they may be, the sooner the work is commenced and carried on to completion, the better for ail concerned. It is like the building of the ship that I told you of by way of illustration—the longer she remains cn the stocks, the longer it will be before she begins to inake returns to her owners. The hon. gentleman must surely have for- gotten thac, with regard to the interest on the road, it must be realized, whether the road is running or not; and, if the road is running, the revenue will go towards meet- ing the interest, as well as running ex- penses. Supposing we stop building our railroad now west of the Rocky Mountains, and from Port Arthur east, we would have no railway at ai—we would be worse off than we were before. 1 believe that the through railway is an absolute necessity, and that within ten years the traflic of the Northwest will not only tax the full capa- city of the railroad to carry out the produce from that country, but it will aiso require the assistance of the water stretches as well. Believing that that will be the case, I am prepared to support the Bill.

Tue Licarnovss Breakwarer.—In order to secure the lighthouse at entrance of Summerside harbor from the effects of gales, the Dominion Government decided to build a breakwater to its south and west sides, at distaace of forty or fifty feet. The work was contracted for by Messrs. Theo. J. Clark and R. Campbell, and com- menced about the middle of last month. The structure is 140 feet in totai length, the part running N. W. and 8S. E. 95 feet, the part running N. and 8S, 45 feet, the two parts forming an angle of about 125. It rises 10 feet above low water mark or about 12 feet from the bottom. The foundation consists of 18 inches brush work, and is over 30 feet in width On this the work is built of square hemlock timber, strongly bolted together and bal- lasted by probably 700 or 800 tons of stone quarried from the adjacent shore. The seaward side of the work slant at about 45 degrees, while the inner side rises perpen- dicularly. Besides the ballasting, the structure is further secured by a number of heavy piles driven six feet into the bottom. The outside and top are closely covered by four-inch plank. The two ends are less slanting than the side and are also planked. The top of the work is six feet wide, affording a nice promenade for the lighthouse keeper, or anyone else who may choose. The con- tract is now about completed and we must say the work is of the best and most sub- stantial nature. Besides the Government Inspector, both contractors are always on the spot, watching every bolt and treevail that is driven. We hope the parties will have a satisfactory margin over the heavy expense of men and material. — Pioneer.

‘It’s the easiest thing in the world to tame a rat,’ says a New York rat fancier. “Take the most ferocious rat, throw it into a pail of water, and leave it there until it becomes exhausted and aboat to drown. Then take it out, roll it in wadding, and put it in a warm place. When the rat comes to it will evince the deepest grati- tude. It will lick your hands and follow you about the house like a dog, and can be taught a number of tricks.”

A sHort time ago a traveller saw on the Musselshell in Montana a herd of about thirty cattle surrounded by a pack of sixteen wolves. They were standing at bay, with the calves in the centre of a hollow square, which the animals were protecting from their savage enemies, The wolves would make an attack on the cattle in front and rear, but were every time driven oft.
