Halifax Cuts 20
Foot Ledge at 100

The Halifax has cut the big ledge
on the LOO, where the magnitude of
the ore body and values show no
sign of diminishing.
. News of the strike leaked out last
night and Manager Brady was the
subject OF many congratulations for
his u~nwaverins faith in finding this
ledge where he said it would be. The
success confirms the belief that the
ore will continue on down to the
400 and that the Halifax, with this
fact established, will have one OF the
Greatest ore bodies known in the
history of mining.
The ledge was cut $50 feet from
the shaft, in a southeasterly direc-
ton. and ranges from fifteen to
twenty feet wide. The ore is of a
good milling grade and the company
has started drifting east on it

his thoughts were busy specializing upon her
companion. He was quite certain that the
name Braine was assumed, but he was also
equally certain that the man carried an
extraordinary brain under his thatch of salt
and pepper hair. The man had written three
or four brilliant monos. .phE on poisons and
the uses of radium, and 1t was through and by
these that the reporter had managed to pick
up his acquaintance. He lived well, but in
conspicuously.
Suddenly the pupils of Braine's eyes mar
rowed; the eye became cold. Over the smoke
Of his cigaret he was looking into the wall
mirror. A man had passed behind him and sat
down at the next table. Still gazing into the
mirror, Braine saw Norton wave his hand, saw
also the open wonder on the reporters pleas
ant face.
Who is your friend, Norton" Braine
asked indifferently, his head still unturned.
Stanley Hargreave Met him in Hong
kong when was sent over to handle part of
the revolution. War correspondence stuff.

whispered.

man who had been appointed for the supreme

with a touch of bitterness.

She stood on the curb for a moment and
watched the taxicab ill it whirled round a
corner. The man held her with a fascina-
ton more terrible than any jewel She knew
him to be great and daring rogue, cunning,
patient, fearless Packed away in that mind
of his there were a thousand accomplished
deeds which had roused futilely the police
of two continents. Braine She could have
laughed. The very name he had chosen was
an insolence directed at society.
The subject of her thoughts soon arrived
at his destination. A fight of stairs carried

two, then one, then three, and again one. The
door opened and he slipped inside. Round a

were all tried and trusted rogues; but not

reporter laughed :" I'll try; but don't blame

He left the table with evident reluctance
and approached Hargreave. The two shook
hands cordially, for the elder man was rather
fond of this medley OF information known as
Jim Norton.
Sit down. boy, sit down. You're just the
kind of man I've been wanting to talk to
tonight"

Bah! That's a hypocritical bluff, and you
know it. My friends at the next table have
asked me to bring you over"
q do not usually care to meet strangers"
Make an exception this once" said the
reporter, who had seen Braine's eyes change
and was curious to know why the appearance
of Hargreave in the mirror had brought about
that metally CLEAN. Here were two unique
men he desired to see them face to face.
This once. My fault; ought not to be
here; feel out of place. What life, though,

dents and great fnanci RS, Socialists and an

king there are always twenty thick brogans

that"
Hargreave laughed. Come, then let us

The introductions were made. Norton felt
rather chagrined. So far as he could see,
the two men were total strangers Well, it
was all in the game. Nine out of ten oppor-

but he was always willing to risk the labor
these nine entailed for the sake of the tenth.
At length Braine glanced at his watch, and
the princess nodded. Adieux were said. In

CHAPTER l.
1 GAIL IN THE NIGHT,

A CALL IN THE NIGHT.
~ HERE are few things darker than a
country road at night, particularly II
one does not know the lay of the land.
1t is not difficult to traverse known
path no matter how dark it is one is able TO
find the way by the aid of a mental photo
graph taken in the daytime. But supposing
you have never been over the road in the day
time, that you know nothing whatever of its
topography, where it dips or rises, where it
narrows forks. You find yourself in the
same unhappy state of mind as a blind man
suddenly thrust into a strange house.
One black night, along a certain country
road, in the heart of New Jersey, in the days
when the only good roads We're city thorough
fares and country highways were routes to
limbo, carriage went forward cautiously.
From time to time it careened like a blunt
nose barge in a beam The wheels and
springs voiced their anguish continually for
it was good carriage, rnaccustomed to such
ruts and hummocks.
Faster, faster p came u muffed voice from
the interior.
Sir, dare not drive any faster" replied
the coachman. l can't see the horses heads,
sir, let alone the road. I've blown out the
lamps, but 1 can't see the road any better Tor
that"
Iet the horses have their heads; they'll
AID the way. 1t can't be much farther. You'll
see lights"
The coachman swore in his teeth. All right
This man who was in such a hurry would
probably send them all into the ditch Save
fer the few stars above he might have been
driving Beelzebub's coach in the Bottomless
Pit Black velvet, everywhere black velvet.
A wind was blowing, and yet the backness
was so thick that it gave % the coachman the
sensation of mild suffocaton.
BY and by, through the trees, he saw a
flicker of light 1t mighl or might not be the
destination. He cracked his whip recklessly
and the carriage lurehed - two wheels. The
man in the carra.e balanced himself carefully

unduly disturbed. His arms ached. He stuck
his head ont of the window.
That's the place." be said. And when
you drive up make as little noise as you cam"
Yes, sir" called down the driver.
When the carriage drew up at its journeys
end the man inside jumped out and hastened
toward the gates. He scrutinizel the sign on
one of the posts This rs the place:
MISS FARLOW'S PRIVATE SCHOOL.
The bundle in his arms stirred and he hur-
ried up the path to e doo. of the house. He
seized the ancient knocker and struck several
times. He then placed tho bundle on the steps
and ran back to the W; ting carriage, into
which he stepped.
