SILVER FOX SKINS

A. V. FRASER, I. W. FRASER,

' DEAR SIR.

, . v \ Owing to the Inge number of SILVER FOX SKINS now coming fbrward m Canada and the United States of America ior inclusion in our Public i r Sales, we have found it necessary to make certain rules under which N tnly are we uiliing to accept. consignments. "i: We have found by experience that (except in the case of theuvcry finest l‘ g) peclmens, higher prices are as a rule realised for lots containing a consider- .’ l, ibis number oi Skins: this is especially h-ades. _ The buyers attending the Sales have only a. limited time at their disposal, ind it is obvio ~ that they are better able to examine a large offering if the lumber oi lots catalogued is kept within reasonable bounds. . It. is also clear that to enable us to make large lots we must be permitted put thc Skins belonging to different owners together, and, further, that kins so lnttecl cannot be offered subject to a reserve price. We therefore wish to give you notice that we are only willing to accept [our shipments on the following conditions:- (l) We are to be at liberty to offer your Skins, or any part of them, loitcd with similar Skins belonging to other Owners. We cannot include in our Sales Skins on which a reserve price has been placed. Unless we hear to the contrary, we will assume that you desire to olfer and sell all Skins consigned to us at the next Public Sale after their arrival in London: if, however, you should wish any of your Skins held for a later Sale, it will be necessary for you to inform us of this fact at the time of shipment. It is understood that any Skins Eonsigned to us by you, after m; receipt of this circular, are subject to the above conditions, and that, in making your shipments to us, you agree to them. We nced hardly say that in lotting together Skins belonging to amen“; rwners the greatest care is taken to ensure that only those oi exactly imilar character, quality and value are offered in the same lot.

- l

'1‘ It is essential for the identification of shipments on arrival in London -_ that each parcel should be distinctly marked 0n the OUTSIDE with the name . Ind address of thr Shipper. , It will also be found convenient to mark the first parcel No. l. the second No. 2 and so cont’ with each succeeding parcel until the end of the Season. J These two points are oi great importance. as large numbers of parcels are l’ rcquently delivered together, and without the name of the Shipper and umber on the wrapping it is extremely difficult for us to trace the owner- _ ship of the parcels.

_ INVOICE-At the time that the shipment is despatched an invoice MUST ‘ ALWAYS BE MAILED UNDER. SEPARATE COVER t0 lls at this address. This invoice should state:-

(l) The number of parcels sent forward. ~ , g2) The number marked on each parcel.

These policies give full protection from 4.2 tine 21ml the goods leave your possession until delivered to us in London, and the rate oi premium is most reasonable.

As stated above, we should in every case be advised at the time the shipment goes forward of the amount of insurance required.

if it is not desired that we should arrange Marine Insurance, this fact should be clearly stated an the invoice referred to above,

QHIPMENT BY EXPRESS-Skins may also be forwarded to London through

-' any of the Express Companies. ‘

Shipments by Express should be made in exactly the same way as by Parcel Post. except that there is no limit to the weight of packages and wooden cases may be used.

_ It is not necessary so far as the Marine Insurance l; concerned to declare a value of more than $50 per package to the Express Companies. as if full value is declared the Express Company will charge their rate based on the valuation.

NEW YORK-Jniormation as to shipments of furs to London can be obtained from our New York Representative»- Mr. ALFRED FRASER, 212 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

The HOBBS-MERRILL Q.

THE STORY

Suddenly there was asound, a voice behind the curtain right, at her hand. “Let's have a loo ." . Gay had barely time to flatten her- self against the wall, white face low- ered into her dark collar, when the curtain at the cthe; end moved and parted. No lightemanaved from be- hind lt, but Gay felt. that two men came out. carefully pausing to replace the heavy folds behind ‘hem, and crossed to the curtained door through which she had entered.

One derw back the black folds of curtain, and pushed the door wide. “No sign oi them." The voice was Ronald Ingram's. “They are late." “He'll give you the devil for taking that fellow on board," said the other voice, one strange to Gay.

w"'I'here’s nothing else to do with him," Ronald defended quickly. “I'm d-d if I'll croak him. Garman knows I won't. I wid him when I signed on."

"If you lat him get _away—"

"I can't let him get away; I don't dare. He had been spying on us- God knows how long. Knows every- thing we're up l2, of - course. He'd have them after u in no time. No, we'll take him along, Garman can do as he likes. He sticks at nothing, God knows. But they've nothing on me sol far. Look there's the light, they're coming."

The men‘ went back carefully through t-he heavy curtain, drawing the folds back behind them. The blackness was like pitchJA prisoner —a spy-who knew everything! ‘Phey ‘were taking him to Gannon who stuck at nothing. Dear Rand! All Gay's fears fell from her, dead courage lay cold upon her hands. Her thoughts were quiet and consistent. . “A boat, is coming for them...They have taken him prisoner. Perhaps I will have a chance to rescue him- with my pistol."

Breathl-essly she tiptoed to the edge of the curtain, drew it back. Still

her. There was a door now, on the right - side, open but thickly cur- tained. Her fingers vouched it. Yes, e light. They were in that room. Rand was in that roam, a prisoner.

She wedged her face up to the cur- tain where but the slightest fraction of one eye touched the aperture her fingers formed in the folds of cloth. A dozen meninthe room, all dressed for cold weather, out-of-doors, heavy coats, heavy hats, gloves in their hands. They were not smoking. There was no fire in the room, but one pale lantern giving light. She saw Ronald Ingram. He was dressed as the oth- ers were. with a revolver in his hand. Others had revolvers, too. The China.

l man was there. And there was one

other, hands bouhd behind the low chair an which he sat, his mouth tightly gagged. He too was dressed for the sea, warmly, but he sat hunched down, dejected, cowering.

"Oh, my dear." Gay thought tend- erly. ‘Tears came to her eyes. She could not see the face. she had no need. Every line cf Rand's face was clear to her heart.

Ronald Ingram looked at his watch.

" Be ready now," he said; in‘ a. low voice, “Go one at a time. Follow Moy Sen. Walk slowly, feel your way. we can't show a light. Don't laik. Yflllx-CB-llllbt smoke until we are Well

, outllat sea. Hodge, you take the pri-

soner with you, and go first after May Sen. The rest fall in aft-er Hodge. I'll bring up the rear. Not, a sound when we go out." Then he crossed swiftly to the dejected figure of the prisoner. "Now mind what I fold you." he said. His voice was low, in- cisive. "If you make the slightest sound, the least effort to get. away"- hc turned his revolver in his hands suggestiveiy-—-"that for your pains!

New Health For Tired-0ut Women Found in the Rich, lted Blood

-Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills ‘ Actually Make.

Anaemia, comes on gradually, be- ginning with languor, lndlspositlon to mental or bodily exertion, irritability and c. felling of fatigue. Later comes the palpitatlon of the heart, head- aches, frequent backaches and often disturbed» indigestion and an inability to obtain rest at night. Cases of this kind,‘ 1f neglected, become more seri- ous, but if taken in time there is no need to worry. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which are free from any harm- ful or habit-forming drug, are Just the tonic needed to remedy this wretched state oi health. These pills actually make the rich, red blood that stimu- lates and strengthens every organ and nerve in the body. Thus strength and activity return, the appetite improves and restful sleep is had. What - Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills can and will do is shown by thecase of Mrs. D. B. Fanning, Seal Harbor. N. 5.. who says: —"I was in abadly run-down condi- tion. I was pole, my appetite was very poor. and the least exertion would leave me completely tired out. In fsct 1' was hardly able to do much

blackness within. Her-fingers guided,

Youknowthispisceyopknowthia cove-you haven't s. chance in the world to escape. Be ready now, fel- lows."

The men stood up, drew on their gloves. Gay slipped away from the curtain, back to hh. second one, be- yond it.

“A boat is coming-they are taking Rand with them-they are all armed, and he is bound." How her thoughts raced!

Outside in the night again, 'shc stood fiat against the wall and wait- ed. It was in her heart to touch Rand as he passed, to draw him out of the line as they walked. perhaps escaping notice in the darkness. Motionleas she waited, cool, alert, holding her breath. -_ -

There was sudden sound on the shore of the cove, the low plush of oars, e. low whistle, the scraping and grinding of a boat on the sand, and again the low whistle.

Then, without a sound from with- ln. the curtain at her hand was drawn aside. The little Ohlnaman came out and paddled softly down toward the shore, his head lowered, looking neither to right nor left. After him came the tall man, Hodge of course. a revolver in hand, the other thrust through bound one of the prisoner. Gay's fingers ached about her pistol, but she knew any use of A; at that moment would mean only death to Rand, and to herself as well. Perhaps later she mlgb have a chanca- he was a strong swimmer-if she could only manage to release the bands that held him. '

Still from behind the curtain came the silent, closely cloaked figures, one after another. silently. and at last n0 more. But there was a. sound within. the drawing curtains, the click of a latch, the slide of a wooden frame.

Gay did not hesitate. Stumbling a little, she moved out swiftly into the line of silently marchingmen. Blind- ly, automatically unhesitatingly, she followed them. but in her blindness she fell iuli length on the rocky path

Ronald Ingram came ' upon her from behind. She felt the touch of his boot at her shoulder.

“Get up, d-n it, and be careful!" His voice was low, less than a. whis- per.

Gay scrambled to her feet, and hurried after the others. A hand was held out from the boat. to assist her, and she was sung up in her turn, with Ronald Ingram behind her, the last man on. -

"0. K. l" breathed a voice from the boat. .

“Yeh. Let's go.”

The boat crunched on the sand again, swept into the water. The oars dipped the waves. A fine exalte- tion came over Gay. She was daring death with Rand. If she oould not contrive to save him, then she, who had selfishly refused to share his life. would gloriously share his death.

The boat head/ed swiftly out to sea, and the fine salt spray touched her face.

THOMAS PHILLIPS RICHARDS

There passed peacefully away to his eternal rest on January 12th his 79th birthday, after a week's illness of pneumonia, Thomas Phillips Rich- ards. a. life long resident of Alberry Plains, P. E. I. In his youth he work- ed with his father who was a master shipbuilder, building large vessels for the carrying trade between this Isi- and and Great Britain.

Later he took up farming which he continued ever since, though for the last eighteen years he had not done much active work on account of rheu- matlsm which settled in his limbs, but by his wise councils and knowledge of farming and business ability he had acquired one of the best farms in the vicinity.

The community have lost a good. kind and generous neighbor and friend, who was always ready to ‘lend a helping hand to those in need and always had o. pleasant word and joke for those who called at his door or visited at his home which was always open to the holding of religious ser- vices for the neighbourhood. For about 20 years prior to 1890' he taught singing school in 10 different settle- ments, and there are still a iew left who have pleasant memories of those classes. ‘

His grandfather, Dr. James Rich- ards immigrated from the Island of Guernsey in 1808 and settled in Mur- ray Harbour.

Many men, and more particularly their lives, who walk in social twi- light throughout the year. console themselves with the reflection that with the coming of the New Year Honours List they will see a Erect light. This year, however, many a plain "Mr." will spend exasperated hours in explaining to a climbing wife just why she must. for the present, remain a plain "Mrs."

The dreadful ' fact is that there will be no Honours List this year. and gloom impenetrable has descend- ed upon the wouid+bc's. ,

In this present" instance, of course, the lamentable sickness of the King‘ is the explanation, but, quite apart‘ from that: unhappy fact, the tend- ency of late years has been to re- strict the granting of honours, and, at that, to render honour only where hcncur is due. The titled personage whose honour rooted in dishonour stands is not common now-a-days. Time was when the mere possession of a friend at Court, combined with persistence and the hide of a. pachy- derm, sufficed in time tn secure at least a baronetcy, but that day has passed. The honoured one who was exalted simply because he had in- vented a. manure which stank worse than any other had at least done something or somebody. Merit, or at any rate the appearance oi merit, is the only ‘Open Seasame‘ now. And. for that happy circumstance we owe something to the Print: Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin. “Let him bear the palm who‘ deserves it."
