CAVE PERIOD ARTIST
USED MODERN TOOL
Prehistoric Drawings Discover
ed in England Disclose Re-
markabIe Skill.

LONDON. an. 3.-w. T. Lewis Ao-
bott, OF Hastings, recently described the
discovery of some prehistoric drawings
on some which date back to the cave
period and are the first of the kind to
be found in this country.
Paleonthic man was a very able
cerver. using bone. stone, and ivory as
his medium for self-expression Many
OF the caves discovered in France have
yielded specimens that are now we'll
known. the drawings being made on the
tusk of the mammoth and on the horns
Of other animals.
While in many instances the speci-
mems were incised drawings on ivory
and bone, sometimes the cave walls
were decorated with pictures of ami
mails painted in red oxide Of iron or
black oxide Of manganese, the animals
being sometimes drawn full life size.
Paleolithic man. however. was not con-
tent with decorating the walls Of the
caves, and several instances have been
found of small pebbles of soft materials
being carved
One OF the specimens exhibited by
Lewis Abbott is an incised drawing
made in duartzite. one of the hardest
known stones. 1t was founded in a
field at Nayland. near Colchester. by
the Rev. d. Gray. Mr.. Abbott recog-
nized the presence Of an engraving. and
on its being further washed II was evil
dent that the stone was the first dis
covered example in this country of a

lithic man.

because it has proved difficult to dis

sheep and goats. The animal is rep

"She is not, and she left in a very

she had been taken very i'll and she

CHAPTER xl.
Sing Wah and His WiIes.


EwY1 Ohm DoRR stood stupidity
81 staring at the papers which
kSXx1Xs he had found in the locked
&z&NSS drawer of the dresser. His
brief Inquiries at the desk had only
served to make the matter darker, so
he had come back TO the room to puz.
zle things out.
Painfully he set the facts in order
before him. The first was that Ruth
had gone to New York to deal with
Everett about money for improvements
to the Master Key" The second was
that she had evidently not been able
TO find Everett and had started west
again. The third was that she had
been in this very room. There lay the
papers that represented the mine and
its value. But how-where-how could
it be?
His businesslike senses returned, and
he proceeded to wire Everett's Office in
New York, with the result that he was
soon in possession of his address in
San Francisco.

He thrust the packet of papers in his
pocket and then withdrew them and
locked them again into the dresser
drawer. He had a dim notion that
Ruth might come back for them. Then
he telephoned to the st. Francis hotel
and left word for Everett, who was re.
ported to be out.
Still following what his common
sense told him was the logical method
of unraveling the tangle he went down
to the desk and entered into converse
tion with the clerk. Meanwhile his eye
ran down the register. Opposite the
number of the room he now occupied
he saw heavily scrawled Mrs. J.
