work of the office for this. The salary
will be considerably more"
"If you consider that my work will
be satisfactory" Miss Weir began.
II don't think there's any doubt on
that score. You have a good record in
the Office" he interrupted smilingly.
"NOw let us get to work and clean up
this correspondence"
Thus her new duties began. There
was an air of quiet in the private of
fee, a greater luxury of appointment
which suited Miss Hazel Weir to Il
nicely. The work was no more diff
cult than she had been accustomed to
doing-a trifle less in volume. and
more exacting in attention to detail,
and necessarily more confidential. for
Mr.. Andrew Bush had his finger tips
on the pulsing heart of a big business.
The size of the check which Hazel
received in her weekly envelope was
increased far beyond her expectations.
Nelly Morrison had drawn twenty dol
lars week. Miss Hazel Weir drew
twenty-fve-a substantial increase
over what she had received in the ship
ping department. With that extra
money there were plenty Of little
things she could get for the home she
and Jack Barrow hGG CLAIMED.
Things moved along in routine chan
nels for two months or more before
Hazel became actively aware that q
subtle change was growing manifest In
the ordinary manner Of Mr. Andrew
Bush. She shrugged her shoulders at
the idea at first. But she was a WON

The first symptom was flowers, dain-

no encouragement to overstep the nor

eo.utely sure Of herself and Of her love
for Jack Barrow. Furthermore. Mr..

PLATINUM FAKE" IN OREGON
Geological Survey ExpIodes Report OF
Find Of Precious Metals in a
Western District.

The present shortage of platinum
and the consequent greatly increased
price of the metal bid fair to result
in considerable increase in the do
nestle production of platinum during
the coming year, according to the Unit
ed States geological survey. At the
same time, while legitimate miners are
increasing their production and to some
extent relieving the cOuntrys shortage,
other persons are using the interest
aroused by the present nationwide
search for the metal to make extrava-
CANT claims for utterly worthless de-
posits and some honest prospectors
are led by false assays, made by in
efficient or venal assayers, to believe
mistakenly that they have valuable
platinum deposits. Reports of plati-
mum in some mythical combination
volatile platinum" or "colloidal plati-
num'-should be regarded as sufficient
evidence of the incompetence or dis
honesty of the asSayer.
During the season of 1917 the geolo-
gists of the United States geological
survey, department of the interior,
spent much time in visiting platinum
deposits that proved to be worthless.
A notable example is seen in the sup,
posed platiniferous sands of the Des-
chutes river, near Terrebone, Ore.
The material collected there con-
sists OF loosely cemented dark volcanic
sand ana conglomerate interbedded
with basalt and volcanic tuff. The
black baSaltc sand is supposed to have
the richest content of gold and platl-
mum, but neither in panning the ma
terial in the field nor in the chemical
tests made by the geological survey
could any trace of platinum or other
metals of the platinum group be found.
Neither was any gold found in the con-
centratoS, and it is concluded that ma
terial of this type is very unlikely to
contain workable amounts OF gold.

wondering mildly why she should be
called upon to shoulder part of Nelly
Morrison's work, and trifle dubious
at the prospect of facing the rapid-fire
dictation Mr.. Bush was said to infiict
upon his stenographer now and then.
When she was seated Bush took up
a sheaf of letters. and dictated replies.
Though rapid. his enunciation was per-
fectly clear, and Hazel found herself
getting his words with greater ease
than she expected.
"That's I'll, Miss Weir" he said,
when he reached the last letter. 'Bring
those in for verification and signature
as soon as YOU can get them DONE"
In the course of time she completed
the letters and took them back. Bush
glanced over each. and appended his
signature.
THAT'S all, Miss Weir" he said po-
litely. "Thank you"
And Hazel went back to her ma
chine, wondering why she had been
requested to do those letters when
Nelly Morrison had nothing better to
do than sit picking at her type faces
with toothpick.
She learned the significance of 1t the
next morning, however, when the of
fee boy told her that she was wanted
