The economic value of the South
African gold industry and the conse-
quences to the world at large, should
a strike ever close the mines for any
length of time, are difficult to esti-
mate. Last year, according to the
London Chronicle. almost 3S,000,0 900
pounds sterling worth of gold was Ia

sum remained In the country to be
used to pay the wages of the $4,000
Europeans employed in the mines and
of the almost 100000 natives.
The recent industrial upheaval in
the Rand has called more attention
to the Reef that supplied the whole
world with the greater part OF its gold.
because the money centers of Europe
openly feared that even a temporary
suspension OF work In South Africa
would paralyze the worlds finances.
But. fortunately, this has been averted
by the speedy termination of the

CHAPTER ~.
An Exit.
"Aleyander!"

Alexander"
A page Fastening cat-footed, after
the manner of all welltrained pages,
swerved abruptly from his course and
bore down upon the window where the
two friends were seated,
Van vechten waved in the direction
OF Number 1918.

to breakfast. and we want YOU 10 hold

upon that house across the way-thir.
teen-thirteen. Observe whether any
body departs. or whether anybody ar.
rives, and make careful note of them.
II anything unusual happens, come to
me Immediately In the grill Under

Alexander signifled that he under
stood. and that he was willing to wait
and watch--for even tho clubs ser
wants shared the general interest in
the House OF Mystery-and Alexander
was already seated in one of the va
Gated chairs. his eyes glued to the

There were only two other diners in

longed 70 the troops who guarded Ma.

In spite of--or possibly on account
of-its isolation, life on Tristan
d'Acunha seems to be pleasant
enough. Uneventful II is. but one
OF the events that do not occur is the
commission OF crimes For years no
serious crime has been recorded In
the Islands annals.
Que OF the conditions made by the
British government in its call for bids
is that those obtaining the lease OF
the whale fisheries must agree to have
every whaler they send out touch al
the lonesomest place IN the world and
thus keep up Tristan d'Acunha's com
munieation with the rest OF man

Tom did precisely as he was direct
ed. "Well?" he grunted, cycling Van
Vechten with a concern that was only
half simulated But in a moment he
felt his gaze impelled to follow his
friends.
What's up?" he demanded, staring
hard-even belligerently-at the silent
House OF Mystery.
Van Vechten listlessiy consulted his
watch. stified yawn, and thea said;
twenty-five minutes TO twelve. I'll

clocks striking the hour chap will

ton with kindling interest.
The other, however, shook his head.

he repeated It. You are always so
devilish hard up that I thought you
would like to pick up hundred. You
can take 1t or leave IT,"

made haste to agree. "Your moneys

you pamper that gross appetite OF
yours. Wen breakfast together. There
will be something to talk about, who
ever wins; for. truly. something 10
happening across the way at last"
Tom was Immediately all eager in
quiry, but to his opportunities Van
Vechten opposed the one injunction
Wait" So Tom grumbled and growled
70 no purpose. and was In and out OF
his chair a dozen times during the
period OF waiting, though he made IT a
point TO settle himself there some min
utes before the hour of noon. He sat
glowering darlSly at his friend and ut
tering sarcastic remarks which the
latter apparently did not hear.
However, the alert watchfulness that
lay behind Van Vechten's imperturb-
ability was infectious, and as the preg-
nant moment drew nearer and nearer
Tom himself fell to scanning the
street. which was quiet and oppres-
sively respectable. and never crowded
with traffic of any sort, even on work
days. On Sundays It was practically
deserted all day ng-especially mid
summer Sundays.
There was no word from Van Vech-
ten until he quietly announced:
Here he comes"
Tom Phinney craned forward. He
beheld a stalwart. well set-up young
man In shabby suit, approaching on
the opposite walk. He scrutinized him
inteEtly
Excepting that II was so nicely
timed, there was nothing dramatic
about the mans advent. Tom even In
dulged in a disdainful "Huhl"--not-
withstanding which he was sensible Of
a distinct thrill when. a few seconds
later. the young man mounted the
steps Of Number 1913, rang the bell.
and after the now familiar preliminary
measures on the part OF the unseen
door-tender, was admitted.
And all the while the clock in the
club hall was Ginning the hour OF
noon.
