He ushered me Into the wide hall way and knocked on the door of the first room on the right "Knter," roared a Jovial bass voice. The negro threw open leaf of the door and stood aside.

I found a chair by the fireplace, and watched In alienee whilst he read thmtik'h the close-writ page, with an occasional word or Interjection to the other, who had rtaen from their places and were clustered about him. They were, a I afterward learned, the most prominent men of the governor1 faction In the province, who strove to rllnch the control of the fur trde In Knirllsh hands. "Sol Humph !" The governor laid down the cover ing letter which accompanied the de tailed report of the operation of Mur ray In London. "You are Master " lie examined the letter again. "Humph I Yea."
