"Anyhow, I'd better come along ind sec you. don't you think?"

"It's up to you, Caesar. I'll be in till after mid-day, and if you really can spare the time-J!"

O'Hara arranged to be at her hotel about noon, and rang off. He was irritated s. little by that im- perious flippancy of hers but strangely pleased to have heard Caryl’s voice again, to be seeing her.

He felt somewhat conscience- stricken that although almost three whole days in London he had done nothing about the real business which had brought him. At the same time. he had felt it wisest not to be too hasty over whtitevcr steps he took.

Before leaving France, he had written at considerable length to the French detective, Carnot, who had not appeared at the Chateau before they left for the airport. He 11nd given Carnot the fullest de- tails as to all that had happened since their previous meeting. and tad explained why they were all

New high records in the field of Canadian banking are revealed in the annual balance sheet of The Royal Bank of Canada for the year ending Novem- ber 30, 1948. Total assets show an increase of $128,846,567, and now stand at $2,222,487,706. This is an all-time high. Total deposits tire over the two billion dollar mark for the first time and now amount to $2,067,483,090, an in- crease of well over $133,000,000 for the year, indicative of the degree of public saving is a healthy in- crease of nearly 880000.000 in total deposits bearing interest. Increases are also shown in loans. As a. re- sult of the greater volume of business, profits are moderately higher than in the previous yrcrir.

Current loans have increased by $37,557,656 and total $591,870,411.

leaving for England.

O'Hara had been waiting to hear from the detective, whom he had acquainted with the address of the Club where he would be staying in London. And, until he got‘ some reply to that letter. he had decided it best not to make any move as to Caryl's mysterious communicat- ion from the address in Camden Town.

Carnot's silence indeed had be- gun to perplex him when this momiilgs nclvspaper-siory revealed the arrival of Youse! Hussein and his yacht. H; had fully expected sortie reply by this morninfs P081’. but nothing came. It was impos- sible how. of course, to remain in- active any longer.

THAT WAS FAYNE .

With over a. couple of hours to spare before his appointment with Caryl, O'Hara. suddenly decided to take s. look over Camden Town way, spying out the land.

The neighbourhood struck him as the very place where a fug- itive like Andrew Fayne might secrete himself with comparative safety, becoming a mere unit l" a densely populated area. The actual address in Silver Street. when he reached it, proved to be a shabby-faking apartment-house with a front-door leading to the street, but the ground-floor oc-

gupied by a news-agent and tobaccolnistb shop. O'Hara knocked at the front-

e which was o. “bed-sit- t." card. His knock y the type frovrly- cor-

door abov ting-room to 1e was answered by precisd of person he expected. u looking female of immense pulance. "Payne?" she repeated fully. and shook her hcnd. "N0 such name here. Yul-SW‘- "W" had no-onc here 0i’ m" nfllm- m‘ now nor never and I ought to know." It seemed to O'Hara that she rfectly honest in her infor- mation, and he recognised W0 that quite possibly a looser mlsht mis- lead her as to his real name. He was rather afraid of making his enquiries too pointed in view of the fact that the message i0 Caryl had specially warned her not body. but to write, ‘Hara wanted was to alarm Andrew Wylie. which would be likely if he heard that a man had been askinfl 85°"!

Royal Bank Figures At Ali-Time High

The steady upward trend of com- mercial loans in Canada which b88811 three years ago, has con- tinued, the iotul under this head- ing being $468,846,763, an increase of $33,191,187. Investments in Gov- ernment and other public securi- ties are shown at $918,420,522. a moderate increase over the figures for the previous year. The liquid position of the bank continues very strong, the percentage of iiq- uid assets to public liabilities being 74.03.

As a result of the increase in the volume of business, profits are moderately higher. After the usual deductions for staff pension fund and contingency reserves. profits amount to $9,517,433 as compared ivlt-h $8,724,519 the pre- lions year. 01f this amount $3,150,- 000 has been set aside for Dom- inion ail-l Provincial taxes, an in- crease of $300000: in addition $808,887 has been provided for depreciation of bank premises, leaving a net profit of 05.558546. This compares with $4,981,832 in 1947, Out of net profits $3,500,000 was paid in dividends and $2.058,- 546 carried forward to surplus, resulting in a balance of $5,532,- 792 in this account. Prom this amount $4,000,000 has been trans- icircd to the Reserve Fund, which brings lilo latter up to $44,000,000. leaving a balance oif $1,532,792 carried forward.

The interior was dark in itself, bub-coming in out of the brilliant sunshine in the narrow street — O'Hara was quite blinded for the moment. He heard the Cockney shopkeeper speaking:

"Therc'y'are, guv'nor the eubby- holes quite empty, as you can see for yourself. Sorry and all that. but the postman ain't delivered no Cupidls darts I11 his bag, not for you, not since you come along two days since."

O'Hara had begun vaguely to realise the lean shape of a med- ium-helght man leaning on the counter. As his vision grew better lie saw the man to be elderly and shabblly-dressed, though - when he suddenly spoke his voice w! quite cultured. It sounded angry.

"Most extraordinary thing . . ." He clipped off his words sharply. "Th, letter certainly ought to have been here by now. However 1'11 look in to-morrow. same time."

He was gone, his shoulders hun- ched, and his feet shuffling over the threshold and along the pave- ment, as O'Hara suddenly realised that here perhaps was the explan- ation he ws seeking He first of all asked the shopkeeper for the part- icular brand of cigarettes he want- ed. opened thc packet and lit a cigarette.

“One can get letters addressed here then?" he enquired as cas- ually as possible, and the shop- keeper laughed.

"Gad put wonder in the world," said Mr. Dudley, "to keep hope alive and amid the present turmoil. the Star of Wonder shines again in the world, as itdld 2000 years ego, bringing hope and peace to men of goodwill."
