I'VE have believed in the value
of these properties and have shown
our faith by the expenditure of a
considerable amount of money on
them. The short time which we
have had to work under our bond
has been insufficient for us to DEM
onstrate the property, and at the
present time if we could secure
more time before making the final
large payments on the property we
would be glad to proceed with the
work in our effort to prove the
mine. We are not willing. however.

Two weeks before the board met
the price suddenly dropped. Van
Claim had lost 950,000-but he
held the shares. He was in pos
session of all but an insignificant
portion of those that had come on
the market. When he saw Nathan

room he tainted him derisively.

And before the astonished eyes
of the board he tumbled proxies
out of his bullying pockets; proxies
from Cape Colony, from the back
woods, scrawled, illegible, badly
spelled, but Individually proxies
The vice president counted them in
an intense silence.

in a whisper. And Van Claim, reel
ing like a man in fever, stumbled
out of the chair and from the room:

cried the members, crowding
around Nathanson.

When Williamson returned from
Europe to his old haunts along
the diamond grounds in Kimberley
he found general disposition to
let bygones be bygones 1t was
three years since he had left the
country to avoid conviction for
completely in the purchase of
stolen diamonds Witnesses were
dead or had disappeared. More
ever, it was known that he had
come back but with the wreck of
his former fortune.
Only one man was implacable-
Van Claim, once manager of the
Ruyter mine-now in control as
president. They met in the club.
Il don't intend to allow any
stealing from my mine, Nathan
son. shouted the angry Dutchman,
remembering how many times he
had been outwitted by his adver.
sary. Il warn you, Williamson.
I'll spend my whole fortune to
convict you"
MY dear Van Claim" said
Williamson, I'm not going to steal.
Why should | steal from you when
it's so much easier to take? I'm
going to get control of your dia-
mond mine and you're going to pay
me for taking it,
That was the declaration of war.
The Ruyter maine was the only
Dutch mining company and was
owned by some 1000 stockhold-
ers. mostly scattered throughout
the country. OF the 1000 shares,
1900 at least were held by obscure
persons who were never heard of,
never voted and would never sell
their holdings. OF the 500 that
came on the market Van Claim con.
trolled nearly one half; the balance
were traded in around G120. Van
Claim kept his brokers constantly
on the alert, and'i 1t was impossible
for Williamson to outbid him.
There remained three months be-
fore the annual meeting. Nathan
son had left for parts unknown.
That he was not inactive. however,
was seen when the shares suddenly
leaped up from 120 to 1876. The
next day they opened at 140. BY

the waist and bust will take care

your hips and abdomen smaller, but

you can make them appear smaller,

abdomen is actually smaller and
your waist several inches larger.
