"The moment 1t was known that the
United States was interested in this
matter, the Hamburg-American line
turned over it's papers and informa-
ton to the district attorney. This
was last spring.
Secrecy was essential when our
cargoes went out. But at that our
enemies did pretty well; they got all
but one ship"
A heated tilt between Rand and As
sistant District Attorney Wood fol-
lowed Rand's assertion that a com
plete program of the steamship lines
activities had been put in the hands
OF the district attorneys office. Judge
Howe Interrupted to ask If there was
any evidence of this. Wood denied
such was the case. Rand then directed
his fire on Wood. He pictured him as
suffering from "dectomania," burning
the midnight Oil and laying a trail
which he himself would unTavel the
next day"
BUSY days for detectives" Rand
declared He then pictured the
sherlock Holmes" following the
trail with his watson" and brought
the name of Captain Boyd, the Ger
man naval attache into the case
again by drawing his picture OF tn
finding of a card bearing his name
and the district attorney declaring hi!
"chain complete"
But the next day some one I:
called to look Up the law and the,
find there is nothing illegal at all
said Rand.
He then cited the case Of American

To have any sort Of mine Is to be
rich or to have basis for dreaming of
riches. A year ago many Of the mines
were abandoned. Now everyone is
working to capacity. Labor is getting
wages it never expected. Showers
earn from $25 to $40 a week and some
Of the best have gone as high as
$50.
Naturally the boom has attracted a
horde Of spectators. Mines that
could have been had before the war
for little money are now held at
figures that suggest Goldfeld or
Cripple Creek properties.
Naturally, too the stories Of the
boom will attract many thousands OF
laborers and adventurers generally to
the Joplin neighborhood. There is no
telling how high spelter will go in
price No one ever expected it to
reach the figures at which it now is
selling. So long as the war lasts the
boom is almost certain to last. When
it ends it will collapse suddenly. Just
now it is impossible for America to
produce enough zinc for the worlds
demand. Not only is Joplin, which
furnishes perhaps 60 per cent of
Americas zinc doing its utmost but
every zinc smelter in the United States
in full blast and all the old, broken,
worn out plants have been repaired
and put in operation. Several of the
large mining companies have leased
old smelters, located in various states.
and are now not only smelling their
own zinc ore production, but are COM
peting in the open market and buying
ores against the smelters regularly
controlling this business.-Richard
Spillane, in Commerce and Finance.

A Kansas Boyeott.-Practically ev-
cry girl in the high school Of Lewis,
Kan, has Joined club which has for
it's object the determination Of the
cigarette Basing their plan upon the
known fact that life Is drear sort of
nowhere without girls, the daugh-
ters Of men have declared that they
will not speak to. walk with, intro
duce or in any way associate with boys
who smoke cigarettes. Lewis high
school happens to include in its stu
dent body all the social set Of the
community, and outside Of Lewis
school one might be all dressed up,
but he'd have nowhere to go.
Well, the boys OF Lewis are accus-
toned to having practical jokes played
at their expense. and so they kept on
smoking and laughed heartily, waiting
for the dear girls to come rushing
around the corner screaming that 1t
was only fun. But that didn't happen.
On the contrary, the girls passed de-
murely and failed to notice the usual
greeting. They were all looking In
some other direction. Charles tried to
walk beside Mabel, and was at once
withered with a threat to call a cop.
1t was terrible. The worst Of 1t all Is
that the boycott continues without
fury or excitement. 1t is a dead,
straight, continuous affair.
Permit a little prediction that the
cigarette Is doomed in Lewis. One
month of the silent treatment, no
dances, no walks, no telephone talks,
no visiting, and it will be all over.
Let two young men quit cigarettes and
go back to former joys. and the whole
crowd will tampede.-Richmon

Gregory arose and tried to push the
editor out Of the door.
Reginald Nelson shook himself free,
took a typewriter paper out of his

can you," he hissed, with an OATH
Roland Gregory fired.
The editor reeled and fell uncon-

himself.
A noise was heard outside, and in
moment Allen Rutledge rushed into
the office. The minister had come to
the Tribune office to invite the editor
to lunch and was told that he had left
for the office Of Roland Gregory. Fear

Rutledge had hurried after Reginald
and arrived outside the office in time
to hear the two pistol shots.

and saying to himself in horror
Dead; both dead!" he hastened to

They are both still alive" he de-
clared after a cursory examination,
and then he added: 'Mr. Gregory is
fatally wounded. I think Mr.. Nelson
is only stunned.
The doctor soon looked up, saying
quickly: 1T is all right, Mr.. Rutledge.
1t is only a scalp wound. The bullet
glanced off the bone"
In little while Reginald opened his
eyes and stared around him. He saw
the dark stream of blood on the floor.
