This is one of the most famous mine.
of the state. At one time it was sold
at figure upwards of $500, 600, and
it has record of having produced
more than 100000. AL Geiser now
operating the Conner Creek mines
was the owner when the Bonanza was
at its best, and it was he who sold ii
to a Pittsburg company.
The old mine now belongs to Frank
Moore of Pittsburg. Frank Dodson is
the manager of the mine and has a
force of men retimbering the old shaft
preparatory to starting underground
work in the spring on an extensive

months before work can be resum-

It is considered quite blow to the

idle for a number of years. 1t is be-

hand to the prince, who stepped back.
1T shall be the privilege Of the

Louise turned to John with a little
smile.
LET me show you, then, the way
to my dining room. I ought to apollo
gize for not asking some women to
meet you. I tried two on the tele-
phone, but they were engaged"

prince promised, turning from the con-
temptation Of one Of the prints hang
ing in the hall. II am giving a supper
party tonight for Mr.. Strangewey, and
will promise him a preponderance Of

Am invited?" Louise inquired.
The prince shook his head.
"Alas, no"
They passed into small dining
room and here again John noticed that
an absolute simplicity was paramount.

The cab stopped a few minutes later
outside what seemed to be a private
house. The door was opened at once.
Sophy wrote Johns name in a book,
and they were ushered by the manager,
who had come forward to greet them,
into a long room, brilliantly lit, and
filled, except in the center, with sup
per tables. John looked around him
wonderingly. The popping Of cham
payne corks was almost incessant. A
slightly voluptuous atmosphere of
cigarette smoke, mingled with the per-
fumes shaken from the clothes and
hair of the women, several more of
whom were now dancing, hung about
the place. A girl in fancy dress was
passing a great basket Of flowers from
table to table.
Sophy sat with her head resting upon
her hands and her face very close to
her companions, keeping time with her
feet to the music.
"Isn't this rather niceY' she whis-
pered. do you like being here with
me, Mr.. John Strangewey?"
"Of course do" he answered heart
lily. IT'S this restaurants
She shook her head.
"No, it's club. We can sit here all
night, if you like"
"Can I join?" he asked.
She laughed as she sent for form
and made him fill it in.
"Tell me-" he begged, as he looked
around him, "who are these girls? They
look so pretty and well-dressed, and
yet so amazingly young to be out at
this time of night"
"Mostly actresses" she replied, "and
musical-comedy girls. I was in must
cal comedy myself before Louise res
cued me-"
ibid you like it?"
II liked it all right" she admitted,
"but left it because I wasn't doing
any good. I can dance pretty we'll, but
I have no voice, so there didn't seem
to be any chance of my getting out OF
the chorus; and one can't even pretend
to live on the salary they pay you, un'
less one has part"
'.But these girls who are here to-
night?"
''They are with their friends, OF
course" she told him. II suppose, If
it hadn't been for Louise, should have
been here, too-with FRIEND"

remarked, in q hurry to change the
conversation.

rooms, if you like" she promised. "O1

He paid his bill and stopped to help
her with her cloak. Her heart sank,
her lips qufvered little. 1t seemed
to her that he had passed to great
distance.
every soon," John said, II shall ask
Louise to tell me the truth. I think
that shall ask her, If can, tomor-
row!"
The Tomahawk., 1917-11-15


The round table, covered with an ex-
Quisitely fine cloth, was very simply
laid. There was little glass Of the
finest quality, and very little silver.
For flowers there was only one bowl, a
brilliant patch of some scarlet exotic,
in the center.
"A supper party to which I am not
invited" said Louise, as she took her
place at the table and motioned John
to a seat by her side, ellis me with
curiosity. Who are to be your guests,
prince?"
"Calavera and her sprites," the
prince announced.
Louise paused for moment In the
act Of helping herself to hors d'oeuvres.
She glanced toward the prince. For a
moment their eyes met. Louise's lips
were family curled. 1t was almost as
if a challenge had passed between
them. Louise devoted her attention to
her guest.
"First Of all," she asked, tell me
how you like my little friend?"
II think she is charming" John an
swered without hesitation. 1--WE went
to a supper club last night and stayed
there till about half past three"
Really" said Louise, II am not sure
that approve of this! A supper club
with Sophy until half past three in
the morning."
He looked at her quickly.
"You don't mind?'
my dear man, why should mfnd?''
she returned. 1T is exactly what !
hoped for. You have come up to Lon
don with q purpose. You have an ex-
pertinent to make, an experiment in
living"
1.-THE greater part Of my expert
ment," he pointed out, needs the help
Of only one person, and that person is
you"
She moved a little uneasily In her
chair. It might have been his fancy,
but he imagined that she glanced un-
der her eyelids toward the prince of
Seyre. The prince, however, had
turned almost ostentatiously away
from her. He was leaning across the
table, talking to Faraday.
"You have not lost your gift of
plain Speech" she observed. $50 de-
lightful in Cumberland and Utopia,
so impracticable here!"
''Then since we can't find Utopia,
come back to Cumberland" he sug-
gested.
A reminiscent smile played for q
moment about her lips.
II WONDER" she murmured, whether
I shall ever again see that dear, Won
derful old house Of yours, and the mist
on the hills, and the stars shining here
and there through it, and the moon
coming up in the distance!"
!"All these things you will see again"
he assured her confidently. 1T is be-
cause I want you to see them again
that I am here"
"Just now, at this minute, I feel a
longing for them" she whispered, look
ing across the table, out Of the win
dow, to the softly waving trees.
At the close Of the luncheon for q
moment she and John were detached

She nodded, and minute or two
later she had joined the small crowd In
the center of the room, clasped In the
arms of very immaculate young man
who had risen and bowed to her from
table opposite. John leaned back In
his place and watched her admiringly.
Her feet scarcely touched the ground.

Planned Repetition of Black Tom
Blow-up But Bombs Were Faulty.

Hoboken, March 6.-Fritz Kolb. a
German in whose possession two
bombs and other explosive material
were found yesterday and Hans
Schwartz, arrested early today were
held for further examination in court
today in connection with an alleged
plot to blow up munitions for the en-
tente allies.
Schwartz, who says he is a chemist,
81 years old, was held as a suspicious
person. The police assert he has

Black Tom, n. j., yesterday with Kolb
and himself as conspiratcrs. Schwartz,
whose identity was at first concealed,
denied. the police say, that he was
connected in any way with the Black
Tom explosion last summer or the
explosion at Kingsland.
The failure of the plot to blow up
Black Tom yesterday, the police de-
clare Schwartz admitted, was due to
faulty construction of the bombs.
kolb was identified at police head
quarters as a former employe of the
Canadian Car & Foundry company at
kingsland by Thomas Steele, a negro,
also a former worker at that plant.
Steele told the police he worked in
the same room with kolb, where there
had been an explosion previous to the
great fire and that of twenty 7eight
men employed in the room, Kolb was
the one who disappeared.

his home here late last night it be-

teriously disappeared more than a
month ago and nothing was known
concerning his Whereabouts until last
week when detectives found him at
Calgary. Canada.
Doctor Potts was placed under the
care of a physician today who de-
clared that he had not yet recovered
from seeming lapse. Despite his
weakened condition, Doctor Potts
made a partial statement today con-
corning his actions since January %.

Department of Justice Has Facts.
small publishers have been forced
to pay prices as high as $3.50 and $50
a ton.
"Contemporaneously with it's eco
nomic investigation the commission
also conducted an inquiry into unfair
trade practices or violations of the
federal antitrust laws. The full
powers of the commission were in
yolved and the books. paper and pri-
vate correspondence pertaining to the

so gathered were transmitted to the

The new scale of prices affects only
about so per cent of the manufac-

agreement to abide by the ruling OF
the commission, acting as an arbitra-

dealing with the publishers.
