The crowd drew aside. forming an
aisle in the center Of the room, and
on the arm Of her dancing partner Ny
Lady Raffies tripped down the lane.
smiling tantalizingly, curtesying bland
Ily, but ever slyly regarding the Pres
Iident out of the corner Of her eyes!
At the end Of the room the couple
turned and retraced their steps. As
they again stepped DOWN the aisle. the
girls figure was tense and eager. as
IL she were prepared for leap. Kelly
glanced at de Leon; he was still chat
ting gally, but an expression OF fear
had crept into his face. Kelly tensed
his limbs in readiness for quick action.
Ny Lady Rafies tossed her head In
mirthful abandon. but Kelly could see
her face was white and cold as alabaster.
Like a phantom streak she pirouetted
down the lane, and something told the
detective that this time she was plan
ming to execute the bidding Of the con-
spirators. As she approached the Presi-
dent her eyes flashed with the steady,
designing and devouring fire Of feline.
In a minute or two she would have
reached him. and-Kelly's heart pounded
fiercely-he would either have outwitted
her at last or Pedro de Leon would
crumple to the floor in an insensate
heap.
with a sudden twist she released her
arm. snatched a cleaning bit OF steel
from her masses Of hair. flung herself
upon the President. the cleaning object
flashing for an instant In her hand. and
then Kelly saw no more except that his
assistant had darted to de Icons side.
There was a shrek. and then tumult,
but Kelly had snatched the girl to him
and hung a coat over her head. she
wriggled for a moment in his grasp.
Screams and sharp commands dinned In
their ears
with one arm holding the girl in
vice-like grip, Kelly slowly drew the
coat from her head.
mo, Ny Lady Raffies," he began
triumphantly, but swift glance at tne
face Of the girl wriggiing In the crook
of his arm strangled his words into q
groan. She had fooled him again-n
the tumult he had seized the wrong girl.
a lady-in-waiting.
With a quick glance he assured him
self that the President had escaped and
dashed for the door. His eyes instinct
iyely sought a white touring car. 1t
was still there, the motors whirring i'm
patiently. II was not yet too late-My
Lady Raffies had at last been ensnared-
He sprang toward the car. but as he
reached forth his hand there was
snort of motors. a grinding Of steel, and
II darted ghost-like into the open road.
and he saw II gliding away into the
darkness as gracefully as IL a spirit hand
had guided II.

THE RADJUM BILL

From the viewpoint of the prospect
or the government is making a mis-
take in passing its radium bill.
The mining trail-blazer follows the
lure of discovery, with the one dream
of possible fortune, and what he finds
he wants-wants as a possession and
not as a lease-with the requirement
reports to the government each month
but must also have the government
supervise his output and presumably
buy it.
There is no proof, so far, of there
being fabulous amounts of radium in
our fields. With all the hurrah made,
but a fraction Of an ounce af radium
has. according to reports, been saved
in this country. OF course an ounce of
radium is quite a big thing, with its
present market Of more than two mil
lion dollars an ounce.
There are uranium deposits over a
large area of the southwestern portion
of Colorado, as well as southern Utah,
but the mining of the ore has been
without startling results. An occas-
fonal prospector has been able to sell
a few sacks of ore for a few hundred,
or maybe few thousand dollars.
Advice from the field, however, has
been: "If you are coming in to pros
pect, bring some money with you,
for the old timers here are having
hard enough time to get along"
There are a few companies making
a specially of this class of mining,
and the field is really an enticing one
to prospectors, or would be if the
field were left open to them. AS soon
as the bill now before Congress is
passed (and. an effort is being made
to pass it under special rule) a wet
blanket will be thrown over all radium
prospecting in this country. 1t would
be better to put a premium on its
discov cry; to encourage its develop
ment, SO that, if it has the merits
claimed for it, the substance might
become cheaper and within every
body's reach.
