COPPER, LEAD, ZINC,
IN DEMAND J

With the United States certain to
De a heavy buyer of metals in the
course of the next year, and the de-
'nands OF the Allies again insistent..
The outlook continues favorable for
llgh prices. Copper, zinc, lead and
Intimony, all used extensively in the
manufacture of war materials. should
continue at their present high levels

uons good for still higher selling lev

)ther small neutrals enter the war it
viii bring about a sharp demand for
silver, and can not help but influence
sharp advance in the price of the
white metal.
Copper is commanding stellar inter
est. 1t is practically impossible to
obtain electrolytic for first quarter
lelivery, and many producers refuse
TO even quote prices. Some small
leliveries may be signed for May and
June, but little spot appears. The
eason for the strength so suddenly
displayed by copper, following the
setback it received as a result of Ger
nan peace talk, is the belief that the
entente Allies are preparing to place
4 huge order for the metal, to be de-
'ivered in the last six months OF 1917.
This belief, together with the certain
ty that the American Government
will soon be in the market for an enor-
nous tonnage of the metal, is conf
lently expected to shoot prices sky
ward. Since the severance of diplo-
matte relations be tween America and
Germany producers are considering
Accent copper possibility. In some
quarters fears of a copper shortage
are expressed, but it is the general
| opinion that the development OF
scor-s of new producers will take
care of the unprecedented demand, {,

while you're about 1t, Clouts, you
might see If you can adjust the rud'
der"
For a moment Clouts and his cap
tain looked hard into each others
eyes. Then Clouts' grim face softened.
Putting his hands to his pocket, he
drew out his mouth organ, and the
soft strains Of "Annie Rooney" went
up into the air. Clouts played 1t
through with quiet resolution.
It'll do 1t, sir" he said.
Donald turned and saw that the
woman Of the sea stood exactly where
| she had been throughout that inter-
view. She had not stirred.
He waited while Clouts found the
last diving suit In the storeroom, and
then the two went back into the mess
room. Presently Clouts emerged, en-
cased in his cylinder. and holding the
glass mask in his hand. About his
shoulders he wore Donalds coat. Don
aid waited within.
He heard the coming tower trap
door close. and after that he could
hear nothing. He waited an indefinite
time. Suddenly soft splashing of Wa
ter told him that the lower levels Of
the sea We're being agitated by the
Condensed oxygen in the airlock. There
followed silence. Tie sounds were
cut off abruptly, and for long time
Donald waited.
His nerves We're so tense that when
ClOutS opened the door he started vio-
lcntly. He peered into the sailors
face.
1--WE done it, sir" said Clouts. "She
followed me like-like dog sir. And
| saw her eyes when | pushed her into
the water, and 1 don't want to see a
look like that again. 1t felt like muir
der, sir"
"Nonsenser' exclaimed Donald an
grlly. "You know perfectly well,
Clouts, that she wasn't on board when
we started. Therefore. she must have
come in with us from the sea bottom"
II know, SIR" said Clouts. shaking
his head mournfully. Then, unable to
control himself, he clapped his hand
to his mouth organ.
And Donald waited alone, sleepless,
while the dreary night wore on.

was back IN ner Ola position upon The
shelving beach, at the very edge of the
waves. The moon. which rode high
in the sky. was already paling before
the Increasing luster Of the dawn.
"Where's Clouts?" asked Donald
suddenly.
"Isn't he below?" queried Davies.
Donald raised his voice and shouted.
He ran below, calling for Clouts. But
there came no answer. 1t soon became
evident that Clouts was not on the
submarine.
Good Lord!" said Donald.
1t occurred to him then that he had
told Clouts to look ut the rudder. but
he. had never supposed that the man
would be able to adjust 1t. Had he
forgotten, gone back to adjust 1t, and
failed to return?
He took couple Of revolvers and
gave one Of them to Davies. They
went ashore. The firm rocks under
foot seemed the mftst delicious part Of
their strange fortune, ana gave reality
to what was still hardly more than 4
dream.
They knew that there was no danger
of attack in the n2onli.h t. Neyerthe-
less, they remained near The boat. And

Olouts the FIRST watch. Presently DON

He got into his hammock, but he
could not grapple with the situation.
1t seemed 80 unreal that he half ex-

been delirious, and that he was Just

sound came to their ears. It was that
Of a gas engine.
Looking over the rocks. they saw a
man In a large mOtorboat hurryfng
round the promontory. Donald hailed
him with a yell. There came no an
swer. but the boat continued to make
toward them.
The man in the boat raised his head
It was MacBeard. He stopped the en-
CINE and lay to, about couple of hun
dred yards away. He drew a hand
kerchief from his pocket and waved it.
''The d-n rogue!" muttered Da-
vies, raising his revolver
1t was indeed Professor MacBeard.
And he appeared distressed. At least
he flew the distress, or parley. signal.
and his movements seemed altogether
more agitated, and his demeanor less
bland than on the preceding after
noon.
Whatever his nocturnal work had
been, 1t seemed to have been cut short
ny the dawn, which had driven the
mo- sters to seek shelter in the ocean
depths. He seemed to have come from
the other side of the island.

They saw the bullets strike the water.
MacBeard crOuched down behind the
engine. There could be no parleying
with such as he.
They emptied their weapons in their
fury. MacBeard was just out Of
range. He started the engine again
and came to a halt fifty yards farther
at sea.
"Truce! 1 want to speak to you,"
he yelled.
They aimed their empty revolvers.
MacBeard started for safety. His
boat disappeared round a distant point

But Just within the cave they saw
something that revived for a moment
the old horrors which they had
escaped. They were two human skele-
