"The honorable gentleman stated," went on Jimmy, "that at last the Toronto coal ring had been checkmated, and he had made a thoroughly good bargain with Howilton dealers." "Yes." "Does he happen to know that the Howilton men turned over their contract to the Toronto ring?" There was a pause. The Provincial Secretary looked his surprise, but sat still.
