Increased Use Of Mineral Has Brought
II to Attention Of Miners.
Fluorspar is mineral that has not
attracted the attention of the western
miner and for obvious reasons, never
theless, deposits may be discovered
It's importance can be appreciated by
the fact that in 1915, 133,651 short
tons Of gravel spar" was produced.
The average prices per ton received at
the mine were 1874 for gravel, 1874
for lump, and s12.3S for ground. The
il creased demand for fluorspar has
come largely from the manufacturer
Of open hearth steel, who use the min
eral as flux, but the demand for II
in other metallurgic operations and
Tor the manufacture Of hydrofluoric
acid has been very active. One OF
the newer uses for fluorspar Is as q
re-agent in the recovery Of potash
from feldspar and from portland GEM
emit clinker.

AMERICAN WRITER IMPRESSIVE.
LY DESCRIBES THE HIS.
ToRic SPECTACLE.

| A'"'S T. h"i Sosooil, the ulSslHSuiSH-
ed American journalist, gives us this
impression of London's welcome to
the American soldiers:
THE day that the kaiser talked
and dreamed about dawned yesterday
but it was not the sort of day that
he wished. 1t was a day of days in
the long story Of human liberty To
have lived to see 1t is not to have
| lived in vain. London's welcome to
Americas troops was not only an
epoch in the history of the great
English speaking nation; it was also
something deeper and more profound.
1t showed that when all is said and
done the good old Anglo Saxon blood
is really thick.
London made good in the best
American acceptance of the phrase.
was prepared for some display of
both feeling and flags, but l was not
prepared for the superb ovation that
came to those young men, bronzed
and fit, clean of limb and clean of
conseence-the first sample Of the
American goods that will soon be
delivered in units of hundreds of
thousands. ..-..
Veterans View Parade.
The very crowd itself was a con
gress of the war In 1t you saw Bel
CLANS and Frenchmen. Italians and
Russians, men limping from the
wounds of a hard-fought battle,
nurses afresh from the front You
did not have to travel far to know
that the world was at war and also
that, whatever the race, there was a
very warm heart throb for the khaki
array that had crossed 5000 miles of
dangerous sea and was soon to go to
the battle line to do it's duty.
l saw this spectacle from two dis
tinct vantage points. I wanted first
to get a general picture of American
troops marching through the streets
overlooking Trafalgar square, where
| could get an impression of the men
as they started fresh on their journey
and then swept up Cockspur street
into Pail Mall No setting could have
been more fitting for this historical
spectacle. Overhead doomed the
weatherbeaten figure of Nelson, and
as / saw these marching Americans
sweeping round the column that bears
his figure / wondered what that griz-
zled old hero of Trafalgar would have
thought had he been able to look
down on what was going on.
Thrill Of the Flag.
It gave me a great thrill when
saw the Stars and Stripes, brilliant
in the August sunlight, getting from
practically every man in the vas
throng, that reached back hundreds
of feet, the same salute that tt" gets
in it's own country. But when all II
said and done, both England and Am
erica are today the home country O
all the Anglo Saxon breed. To thei
everlasting credit, as far as / coult
see, every British officer raised hi
hand to the salute when that flat
went by, and more than one of thes'
gallant men had Old Glory pinned OF
his breast. To the American whit
beheld it it was a decoration tina
meant more than cleaning metal.
To have beheld the spectacle o
those splendid Americans marching
through London's lanes of cheering
humanity was to feel that freedom
IL secure and that the world Will
safe for democracy.

ONE DOOR WITH SEVEN LOCKS
Chamber in Westminster Abbey Which

Is Still Closely Guarded.

Few who explore Westminster abbey
are aware that there are many of its
most ancient and interesting parts OF
which they have never had a glimpse.
For instance, In the eastern cloisters
there is a door so guarded against I'M
authorized Intrusion that IL can only
be opened by seven keys, which are
in the Jealous custody of as many gov
eminent officials. Five Of the keyholes
of this wonderful door, which is COW
cred with human skins, are concealed
from view by stout iron bar which
traverSeS it.
This door gives access to a vaulted
chamber, known as the Chapel Of the
Pyx, the walls of which were stand
ing as they stand today before even
the Norman conquest landed in Sus-
sex. The chamber was once the treas
ury Of England, TO which were brought
"the most cherished possessions Of the
state" The regalia Of the Scottish
kings and the Holy Cross Of Holyrood
were deposited here, and for many
years it served as a mint for coming
silver and gold. 1t was, centuries ago,
the scene OF a daring robbery, and to-
day 1t contains. in addition to a stone
altar, some old chests, one Of which

HELPED THE DESERVING MAN
New Yorker Spared a Few Moments
to Put Compliment Where
1t Did Good.

The Woman's Home Companion
prints an editorial about a man who
wrote letter praising a young rail-
road man. 1t says:
"a busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home.
The station agent in that little coun-
try town had been particularly help
full to him, in caring for his trunks and
arranging for the comfort of his
family"
1.-The New York man was grateful to
the station agent. He told him so.
He wondered, as he rode along, what
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer of
the road ever pass that way? Would
the lads willingness and efficiency
ever gain him a reward?
"When he reached his Office he
wrote letter to the president of that
railroad. L want to congratulate you
on the young man who represents you
at Smithton, he said, he is courteous
and intelligent, and the good will that
he secures for your road in that sec
ton is worth real money to you. He
is a young chap worth watching
"a little thing it was. The cost was
only few minutes of stenographer's
time and two-cent stamp. Yet that
letter stood out like q diamond on the
presidents desk amid the bundle of
querulous complaints. 1t frightened
the day in that big office. 1t may have
changed the whole career of the young
chap in the country depot"

The EdelWeiss.

The tourist in the Alps wears a
bunch of edelweiss as evidence of
prowess in scaling high peaks, for it
is a matter of common belief that this
is a plant found only in lofty and not
easily accessible places, also that it is
peculiar to the Alps. In his book of
Alpine rambles e. S. Salisbury revises
these impressions. In the Alps the
plant is really one of the heights, and
seeking it in the wild state below
about $500 feet is useless. Under
cultivation, however, it grows In much
lower regions, even far from the noun
tains. magnificent specimens having
been seen in a garden in Ireland. The
wild edelweiss is also not confined to
Switzerland, but is a widely distrib-
uted mountain plant found on almost
all mountain ranges Of the northern
hemisphere, and is abundant even in
the comparatively low attitudes of the
Siberian steppes. The flower is priced
not for rarity but for its intrinsic
beauty. and because it is 50 erninently
characteristic of alpine regions. The
white, starlike fiower-he8ds are con-
spicuously uncommon ia the fact that
the woolly rays are only the inclosing
bracts of the flower cluster, and not
strap-shaped petals such as gre met

CHAPTER VIII.
A Gun of Coffee

He was willing, after a long and
bootless search, to confess to himself
that he would rather see Nan Morgan
for one minute than all women else in
the world for q lifetime. The other
incidents of the evening would have
given any ordinary man enough food
for refection-indeed they did force
De Spain to realize that his life would
hang by slender thread while he
remained at Sleepy Cat and continued
to brave the rulers Of the sinks.
But this danger, which after all was
a portion of his responsibility in free
ing his stages from the depredations
of the Calabasas gang, failed to make
on him the moving impression of one
moment of Nan Morgan's eyes. There
was in the whole world nothing he
wanted to do so much as in some way
to please her-yet it seemed his i'll
luck to get continually deeper into
her bad graces. Every day that he rode
across the open country, his eyes
turned to the far range and to Music
mountain. The rounded, distant, i'm
mutable peak-majestic as the sun,
cold as the stars, shrouding in it's I'M
known Businesses the mysteries of the
ages and the secrets of time-meant
to him now this mountain girl whom
it's solitude sheltered and to whom his
thoughts continually came back.
Within two weeks he became des-
perate He rode the gap trail from
Sleepy Cat again and again for miles
and miles in the effort to encounter
her. He came to know every ridge
and hollow on it, every patch and
stone between the lava beds and the
Rat river. And in spite Of the coun-
seis of his associates, who warned him
to beware Of traps, he spent, under
one pretext or another, much of the
time either on the stages to AID from
Calabasas or in the saddle toward Nor
gans gap, looking for Nan.

fruitIess ride, his persistence was one

reached the Calabasas barn, McAlpin,
the barn boss, was standing in the
doorway. you'd never be comm

claimed McAlpin incredulously. De
Spain nodded aff1rmatively as he dis
mounted. "Hot ride, sir; hot day."
commented McAlpin az he called a
man to take the horse, unstrapped De
SPANS coat from the saddle, and fol-
lowed the manager into the Office.
The heat was oppressive, and De
Spain unbuckied his cartridge belt,
slipped his revolver from the holster,
mechanically stuck it inside his trou-
sers waistband, hung the heavy belt
up under his coat, and, sitting down,
called for the stage report and asked
whether the new blacksmith had So
bered up. When McAlpin had given
him all minor information called for,
De Spain walked with him out into the
barn to inspect the horses. Passing
the very last of the boX-stalls, the
manager saw in it pony. He stopped.
This wiry, sleek-looking roam, con-
tentedly munching at the moment some
company hay, was Nan Morgan's.
What's that horse doing here?" de-
manded De Spain coldly.
Before answering, the barn boss
eyed De Spain very carefully to see
how the wind was setting, for the
pony's presence confessed an infrac-
ton of very particular rule. "You
see," he began, cooking at his strict
boss from below his visorless cap
questioning Scotch eye, II like to keep
on good terms with that Morgan gang.
Some Of them can be very ugly. That
little pony is Nan Morgan's."
"What's her horse doing here?"
asked De Spain.
McAlpin made even the most incon-
sequential approaches to a statement
with a keen and questioning glance.
'The girl went up to the Cat on the
early stage, sir. She's coming back
this afternoon"
what is she riding away over here
to CalabaSas for to take the stage, in
stead of riding straight into Sleepy
Cat?"
Once more McAlpin eyed him care
fully. "The girls been sick"
"Sick?"
"She amt really fit to ride STEP"
cOnfided the Scotch boss with growing
confidence. "But she's been going up
two or three times now to get some
medicine from Doc Torpy-that's the
way of it. There's a nice girl, sir

there was no smile even limited at In

CHAPTER Vli-continued.

Logan pushed back his chair. AS ne
turned his legs from under the taDle
to rise, a hand rested on his snOuluer.
He looked up and saw the brown
face and feeble smile Of Scott. Logan
with his nearest foot kicked SandusKy.
The big fellow looked up and around.
Either by chance or In following the
sound of the last voice, his glance FELL
on De Spain. He scrutiniZed for a
suspicious instant the burning eyes and
the red mark low on the cheek. While
he did so-comprehension dawn1ng on
him-his enormous hands, forsaking
the pile of chips with which both had
been for moment busy, fiattened out,
palms down, on the faro table. Logan
tried to rise. SCOTS hand rested heav-
lily on him. "What's the row." de-
manded Sandusky in the queer tone
Of deaf man. Logan pointed at De
Spain. "That Medicine Bend duck
wants fight"
with a man, Logan; not with
cub" retorted De Spain, matching in
suit with insult.
Maybe can do something for you"
interrupted Sandusky. His eyes ran
like flash around the table. He saw
how Lefever had pre-empted the best
place in the room. He looked up and
back at the man standing now at his
shoulder, and almost between Logan
and himself. 1t was the Indian, Scott.
Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared
and arranged themselves every in
slant, that there was no hurry what
ever about lifting his hand; but he
could not be faced down without a
show Of resistance, and he concluded
that for this occasion his tongue was
the best weapon. eff 1 can," he added
stiff1y, ''pm at your service"
De Spain made no answer beyond
keeping his eyes on Sandusky's eyes.
Tension, overhearing the last words,
aWOke to the situation and rose from
his case. He made his way through
the crowd around the diSputants and
brusquely directed the dealer to close
the game. While Sandusky was cash
ing in, Tension took Logan aside. What
Tension said was not audible, but it
sufficed to quiet the little fellow. The
only thing further to be settled was as
to who should leave the room last,
since neither party was willing to go
first. Tension, after a formal con-
ference with Lefever and Logan, Of
fered to take Sandusky and Logan by
q private stairway to the billiard room,
while Lefever took De Spain and Scott
out by way of the main entrance. This
was arranged and when the railroad
men reached the street rain had ceased
falling.
Scott warned De Spain to keep with
in doors, and De Spain promised to do
so. But when they left him he start
ed out at once to see whether he could
not, by some happy chance, encounter
Nan.
