When the door closed, Gladyce went over to the

cover was an English grammar which had been
contemptuously thrown aside when her school-days
had ended prematurely and abruptly, some years
before because there had been one with interest
enough in the matter to insist upon their contin-

Gold Is Evervwhere.

Gold can most prOftably be extract
ed from certain mines where the ore is
rich and not too difficult to work, but
should these deposits ever peter out
there is no fear that the world would
suffer for lack OF gold supply, for
there are many other sources which
are as yet untouched, but for working
which profitable methods would be de-
vised if need were. Granite, for ex-
ample, contains an appreciable guam
tity OF gold, and if it were not under
present conditions too expensive mat
ter to extract it we should find Scot
land and Cornwall rivaling the Trans
vaal and the Klondike, The sea also
contains gold in solution, and the man
who inyents cheap method of get
ting it out will make himself richer
than all the millionaires that ever
lived. Gold is also constantly falling
all over the surface of the world, blown
to us in minute quantities along with
cosmic dust. which comes from inter
stellar space.-Black and White.

an old clergyman found among them
one old woman so excessively ignorant
