engaged in New York for shipment to
London, but the lower exchange this
morning probably will prevent further
purchases at present.
Holland, however, is sending gold and
though the Bank of France has pre-
viously refused to ship, gold, it is thought
prevent a rise in the bank rate, which
in some quarters is considered necessary
to build up the reserve, which is several
millions below the corresponding period
of last year.
Bankers are inclined to think that no
advance il the bank rates will be made,
provided the money market assists by
keeping the discount rates firm.

CHAPTER XIII.


Three days journey in the yacht
brought the strange cortege to a little
cluster Of native villages. The river
was no longer navigable and they stop
ped to fit the yacht with queer runners
| and harness it to a string Of camels
The party was transferred to camel
| back, and made slow progress over the
desert to navigable water. Tired as
they all had been of the yacht, the
camel travel had become more intol-
cradle still, and even City Editor Bur
| ton welcomed the roll of the water
again.
LIE Malheureux had changed his
mind, and instead of going to Khar-
tOum, at Hackleyes solicitation, they
took to the ocean for Cairo. 1t was
easier travelling on the yacht, and less
dangerous than in any other way. Be-
sides LIE Malheureux did not wish to
leave his electrical toy behind him, be-
cause there was no suitable place in
which to lodge it. Further he had de-
clared his intention of returning to
America, and had offered to pilot John
nv Johnson and the Morrises back %
their own country, an offer only too
no dfstrust of any of their odd COM
panions in the heart of the three
Americans. Even HaCkleye, the tacit-
w accused murderer of his wife, filed
a certain claim upon their sympathies,
he was so bowed down by the weight
of woe His children seemed to be
outgrowing their temporary dislike f
him. and a truce with them was al
ready we'll under way.
sHe's grieving himself to death over
that wife of his" said Johnny. It's
shame what an upset a woman can
make. if she's beautiful and unprinci-
pied"
larry had made lie Malheureux
nron7ise him that once they were we'll
ont at sea he would permit the send
ipo of a wireless to the press associa-
tion stating that Betty had been found
and they they all were safely return
ing.
.No use, you know" he explained, lin
saving all the news till we get back.
No reason why they should suffer from
indigestion or the presses from over
feeding, you know.
So when the sea was touch a week
ater this message went flashing into
New York:
ssRetty I.ancey found. All well. Com
ing home. Larry Norris and she were
married month ago. Hamley Hack
leye with us, Johhson'
Larry and Johnny had argued 1t all
ont between them that since Larry
had carried off the bride, the glory was
coming Johnny's way. so it was his
name that was signed to the message.
Two continents thrilled at these
words and one Harold Harcourt IN MS
cell burst into tears.
AT last" he repeated to himself.
AT last!"
But his hoped for release did not
come at once. He was told he would
have to wait till the party had landed
in New York.
Meanwhile, aboard the enchanted
,.och+ as Betty still called it, Hack
love was winning new friends for him

UNDER SAN ANTONIO.
Large Caves Have Been Discovered
Near That City.

San Antonio. Texas, Sept. 6.-Dis
covery of immense caverns just
north of San Antonio, not far from
the San Antonio-Austin pike, re-
wives the thrilling stories of early
buccaneers and highway robbers who
In pioneer days operated in this
country.
These eaverns are supposed to be
united by underground passages and
are being explored. Entrances
though narrow and concealed lead
back to great caverns, cathedral like
IN size. and hung with beautiful
stalactities. The exploration of
these caverns is rather a dangerous
one and Is proceeding with great
caution. 1t appears, however, that
they reach back miles in extent. As
this Is a limestone country similar
to that of Mammoth Cave Kentucky
ii seems that there will be some re-
markable underground discoveries.
Wild stories are floating around
the countryside 10 the effect that
there is a chamber in one of these
caverns filled with gold and other
treasure accumulated by the rob-
bers. The deathbed confession o.
one of these galloping men of the
road is still handed around, and n
number of venturesome spirits are
spending their days in treasure hunt
ing.
The principle cavern is known to
have been used by party of high
waymen who called themselves los
Qnebrantahnesos" which translated
means THE Vultures" and the
cavern still goes by that name.
The owner of this great cave is q

cal use of 1t by stringing it with
