Eve. who was in a better position to pass judgment upon this story than the other, felt a surge of in- dignation at the bias displayed, and at the suppression of facts wliich were easily ascertainable. Her own pamphlet could have been used to correct the false impression derived from this flying visit, made at a most unfavourable time. She realised that her faith in the gold-mine was unshaken. But her trust in the man who had discover- ed it was shattered, and beyond all possibility of repair. She was in this mood when (From the Peterboro Examiner) They have been making a;i investi- gation in England into the question of examinalon.s â€" both .school and Civil Service tests â€" and the findings leave exponents o£ the examination .system with a lot of explaining to do.

"I just put it on the table before Mr. Burden, and he said: â€" â- 'Hello, you've got a picture of that chap Precott!' After that Gladys interviewed an older man. and repeated the main outline of her story. Next she was taken to a bare room, and photo- grafi^ied by flashlight. Her message to Eve, breaking the appointment to meet Dan, was sent from the ofllce of the "Record-Courier," at the earnest advloe of the suave reporter. Aod at the end of it was that Olady.« caught the five o'clock train back to Hilllugdon, with £50 in notes iu ^er vanity bag, and with fear of consequences in her heart. Eve Gilchrist rose from a long- protracted nightmare, to find the two faces which had haunted her broken drcatns staring at Jier out of thJ pag« of the '•Uecord-Courier." On one side was the face of Dau Pres- cott, above which was the caption: "PrescvJtt. or Westerby?'' Beneath it by way of explanation, were printed tile words: "This picture, ideutilled iu London as that of -Mr. Daniel Pres- rott, was scut from Australia by Gor. don Westerby. a.s liis own p'lotograph. to his Eiigiish liaiicee.'' llaUuiciiig Dun's picture was that of Gladys C'emenf^, pathetic, with Its big eyes and drooping, sensuous lips, and beaded: ".Miss Gladys Clemen; s." riidcrueath was a caption: 'This cliuriiiing KnglifU girl, who promised to marry an Australian she had never seen, now seeks to know whether she is betrothed to Prescott or Wester- by." The :u'<-'iimpanyiiig letter.nress maUe l-ive woiiUer if t'he were not still in the grip of nightmare. The reixirler had allowed hitnseif to be humorous and sly, and made great play with the taming of tlie bunyips and the â- hypnotising of snakes in t!;e dark. The letters were given verbatim. and attention was called to the ease witU which tlie prosperous fruit farmer became owner of a fabulously rich mine, and forsiHik his apricots altogether. In every dozen lines innuendo w,is poinlod. WitOtout definitely stating tlial Prescott and Westerby were one ttiiU the same person, tlie writer con- tinually led up to that inference. In any case, Prescott claimed to be Westerby during two days spent in Hillingdon as the promised husband of Gladys Clements, whose friends know him by no other name. The printed words renewed Eve's nausea and self contempt. How could Aw doubt the truth of them, when Medlicolt had said that Dan ariinitted their accuracy? Since that was the case, there seemed to be no more to be suid or done, but to ignore the very existence of sucli a num. But there was more than t/he story of Gladys Clements to engag.j Eve's attention. The Sydney corresiJou<lent of the paper had been at work locaily. and had cabled the result of his in- vestigations, in a long message, head- ed: â€" "Dangoug discovered. Dreary dusthole in a dismal desert.'' "I iiave just rcturued from an aero- plane jcnirney into the Never-Xever Lund," wrote the man in Sydney. "I have been to the Dandong Gold Mine, to see for myself whether London investors are being offered fair value for the money asked for shares in this concern. "I found Dandong a dustheap, iUO miles from railhead, and half as far from the nearest water. The place is dry and desolate beyond all des- cription, but it is at present the abid- ing-place of four sturdy fellows who are employed to 'develop' the alleged gold mine. "Their leader viewed me with some disfavour when I asked permission to inspect the so-called mine. I was shown a barricade of barbeil wire soine nine feet high, behind which was a patch of ground which had evidently been disturbe<i. That was "I am paid to attend to anything you say,' .she said frigidly. "I read the Sydney message in that news- paper this morning. It seemed very one-sided to me. Do you thitik of writing a letter in an.swer to it." "Not I," he said. "Let them say what they like. They cannot make white black by calling it black. They're all wrong. Let them go on being all wrong." "Then what do you wish to dis- cuss?" "It's about that girl," Dan 'oegan. "I am not paid to listen to that." Eve sai<i shortly. "If it is a question of forfeiting my position here, I pre- fer to go. Must I, to preserve my j self-respect?'' | "Why are you harder than other people?" Dan aske<l. "Miss CajTUth- ers just to!d me it n;aue no diffenence I to her.'' I Eve checked herself on the verge i of crying out that it was easy for! Frankie because she did not really | care. | "Then why not take your explanat- ion to her or to somebody intereste<l in hearing it?" she asked instead. "Because I don't care what she thinks," Dan said recklessly. "Your opinion is the only thing I care about." Very well; you shall have it." Eve lance in the results tha^ was amaz- ing. Finally two squads ot examiners, some of them In the Civil Service, were called upon to test 20 candid, ates by the viva voce method and to place them in order of merit, and It was discovered that the pupil who was marked first by No 1 panel was put In thirteenth place by tihe other panel and the first place student sel- ected by the second panel was only :ate(i el-^ventU by the first. So much emphasis is placed on tie importance oi. exaininations both dur. ing school years and afterward that the publishing of these findings has caused somewhat of a sensation in England and already steps have been taken to improve the sy.stem. At the same time another very progressive move Jias been undertaken in the de- cision to abolish the matriculation ex. aminations. except in the case ot pti- pil.i who intend to enter the universi. ties, and to substitute a leaving cer. tificate. showing the student to have completed his secondary education. These are developments that should be of more than passing Interest to edilcaturs in our own country. Is our system of- examinations any more ac. curate than that followed in England, and isn't it about time that we too got away from the fetish of mairicu- iation which sliouid only concern a comparatively small percentage of the students iu our secondary schools?
