Rand Gold Industry.

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 SS,0O0,000
pounds sterling worth Of gold was ia
ken out of the mines OF the wit
watersrand." A large part of this vast
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 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
Alexander"

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 1913.
Alexander" he said, I'VE are going
to breakfast. and we want you to hold
these two chairs for us. Keep an eye
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

Alexander signified that he under
| stood, and that he was willing to wait
and watch-for even the 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
doorway opposite.
There were only two other diners In
the grill. Van Vechten and Tom sought
a secluded corner, where the latter
listened in blinking bewilderment to
an account OF the mornings happen
ings. But. after all, he was no more
mystihed than the narrator.
He was, however, all at once in

But Van Yechten's comment was not
encouraging.

Exscted a Promise.

Mrs. Henry Preston White was leav-
ing her home for town the other al.
ternoon, and as she started down the
walk pitifui wall reached her ears.
Turning. she perceived her little five
year-old son leaning far out Of the
second-story window.
'Motherl mother!" he cried. please
promise me, won't you, mother?
Promise mel
Mrs. White ran back in much alarm
into the house and up the stairs.
Darling, tell mother what Is the

"Oh, mother, promise me" he
sobbed.

that he would have been rather sur
prised than otherwise II one o'clock
came and went without bringing
fresh arrival. And there was another
arrival, and he was surprised--very
much surprised. And Tom Phinney
lost his second wager, too, which he
could i'll afford TO do.
This was the way Of 1t.
It was very close to one when they
resumed their seats. Alexander, with
patient disappointment, reported that
nothing Mt all had happened. Then
the clock struck the hour, and taxi
cab whirled madly up and came to a
skidding stop In front OF Number 1918.
A lady hastily descended, fashion
ably gowned lady. who fairly ran up
the steps; and before she had time
even to touch the bell the door swung
open and she darted through the open
ing and was swallowed up.
Tom was indignant and disguised.
Now what do you think of that!"-
giving the exclamation the slangiest
sort of intonation. He was, OF course.
thinking o1iy Of the outcome of the
| bet
But Van vechten had not heard. The
instant the woman appeared at the top
OF the stoop-until then the cab had
partially concealed her-he startled
Tom into forgetfulness of his disap-
| pointment, by bounding from his chair.
At the same time he smothered an ex-
clamation which, although inarticu-
late, was a good deal more indicative
of agitation and amazement than
Toms had been.
what the dickens!" Tom cried.
Van vechten slowly sank back into
his seat again.
IL thought-for a moment" he
muttered vaguely. "If did not posi-
lively know to the contrary, ! should
say"
He left 1t unsaid, however. The cab
turned and departed, and the young
man sat staring in perpiexed way at
the closed door. 1t was as silent and
illegible as 1t had been for months,
the windows all as irresponsible, the
sooty facade as sphinxllke.
Tom was still contemplating his
friend in bewilderment.
>"You didn't by any chance think 1t
was Miss Carew. did your he asked.
The other bent startled look upon
him.
Paige? Heavens, no! Don't be a
blooming idiot. 1t was young girl,
though. / couldn't see her face, but
for a second l thought she was some
one / knoY--a much older woman"
The words trailed Off
There followed a moment of silence
then he announced with quiet de-
cision:
TON, / believe my interest is re.
viving. If you don't mind, my dear
fellow. we shall see whether this is an
occasion calling for an outsiders inter
ference"
Tom c6ortled. Enter, girl, and
the bludgeon is to be supplemented by
keen, thin blade.'"
Just so, old man." drawled his
friend.
But these two puzzled young mer
were not afforded much time to ex
change views upon the newest develop
iment. Without the slightest forewarn
ing of the gravity of what was about
to happen. Number 1873 gave then
the most startling episode so far o!
the day.

GLIMPSE OF HOPE NOW
IN THE DARKENED SKIES

LONDON, July a.-Glimmers Of
hope fiickered in the darkened skies
of European politics today and the
wish was general that the efforts Of
the great European powers to avert
clash Of arms, which might involve
many nations, would be successful.
While all the powers were preparing
for possible eventualities, their
statesmen were endeavoring to bring
together the governments at issue
with q view to mediation.
At the Seryian legation here the
view was held that some improve
ments had taken place in the situation
and this was attributed to the in
sfuence exercised by Russia.
Alexander Georgevitch, the first sec
rotary, said:
I'VE have complied with everything
that does not impair our sovereign
rights. We hope that Austria will
recognize that consideration is due tc
an Independent state and SO avert
war. II, however, Austria wants q
war, she will have seen that We are
prepared to accept it In the interests
OF our state"
The fact that Austrian ambassadors
abroad were willing to discuss the
points at issue with foreign govern
ments led to the belief that an outlet
from the deadlock would be found.
The stock market Of the European
capitals still displayed a panicky feel
ing, although 1t was not as pro-
nounced as on Saturday.

The arrangement as to Hodges's

all his might to find out. who hand

AS matter of fact, T. e. was not

He knew many days before it hap
pened that 1t was going to happen,
and no Barkis was ever more will

conferred with the perpetrators
about it, and was as anxious about

This Statement was made after the
Russian minister had issued an official
declaration that Russia was greatly
disturbed and could not remain in
different in the crisis that had arisen.
The order for the complete mob

confirmed.
President Wilson said today, in ans

States would try to bring about peace
in Europe, that, he had not considered
the subject, but that the traditional
policy Of the United States was not
to mix In European affairs. He In
