The apology yelled a command.
Stanton halted.
Madam" he responded, astonished
and scarcely pleased.
She deliberately stepped down be-
side him, accompanied by the crisp
sound Of shaken silk and drift OF
faint, rich fragrance. She wore
dark motor-veil, and in the mingling
of dense shadows and glaring lights 1t
was not possible to distinguish more
than her general effect of youth and
| well-poised grace.

"And as I only arrived an hour ago.

corrobCrsted.
She turned to glance at the cars
rushing by, struggling for the lead.
Thank you. Can you tell me
whether Ralph Stanton Is now driving

won't take a chance once too often.

Hardly that" she demurred. Still,
if one comes to an automobile race,
one wants to see something more ex-
citing than drive in the park; some
thing more exciting thar,-that." She

an airy amusement and scorn.
Stanton surveyed the scene, the
darkness hiding his expression.

up. THE others are driving to win
by endurance, playing for accidents to
the faster cars. 1t is a dull period,

She turned to him again, and he
knew her gaze swept him interroga-
lively, searchingly. But his close
fitting linen costume offered no means
of identification, since he purposely
kept from the light the oliver letters
running across his jersey.

at last, as they rushed across the

Floyd obediently rose in his place,

ready for the cars entrance. On the

George E. Roberts, director of the

gold will not ma
Huge Profit terially increase
On coinS during the next
ten years. The
Importance of this prediction made
in Mr.. Roberts annual report for the
fiscal year 1912, issued yesterday, lies
in it's relation to the economic law
that overproduction Of gold tends to
increase prices.
''It is not probable" says Director
Roberts, that any harmful results
will come from a slowing down in the
rate of accumulation Of gold, for it
must be recognized that the growth
of gold during the past twenty years
has been at an abnormally high rate"
The United States has been par
ticularly successful, Mr.. Roberts says,
in obtaining and holding a large share
Of the new gold for the past twelve
years, the gains Of the treasury and
national banks from 1900 to 1912 ag-
gregating 1926, 100000, an increase Of
more than 100 per cent.
The volume q trade and bank
credits, of private, corporate and pub
lie indebtedness, and the general level
Of prices undoubtedly have all been
affected to some degree, the director
says, by the enlargement of bank re-
serves through the great production
Of gold in recent years and by the
stimulus thereby impaired to enter
prise and industry.
The federal government made the
enormous profit of nearly $6,4170OO

dimes. quarters and halves during the
fiscal year 1912, the director an

The correctness of the count is GER
tilted to by E. B. Daskam, w. S.
Broughton and P. E. Byrne. These
constitute a committee appointed by
the secretary of the treasury to super
wise the count.
Not all the money in the vaults of
the treasury was counted coin by coin
or piece by piece. The great bulk of
the silver dollars had been counted
when Treasurer Treat turned over the
funds to his successor, Treasurer Nc
Chung. Not only we're seals put on the
bags in which they were contained, but
the bags we're put in strong safety
bin, on which the treasurer's seal was
set There has been no access to these
bins since the seal was set until brok-

The paper money is counted fifty
two times before 1t reaches the GUS
tody of the treasurer Of the United
States. This count is accepted as cor
rect in the treasurer's transfer count
Before the final count is completed all
this paper money is in circulation, pro-
viGing an absolute check on the accu-
racy of the former count.
All the gold coin, amounting to ST.
sos, 7229S, was counted by weight.
Such of the silver dollars and subsidi-
airy coin as in process of handling and
accessible was also recounted, as was
all the paper currency of denomina-
tons above $40.
