telephone Henry Strengthened, lis
fnely-shaped head sank between his
shoulders he fumbled in his pocket
for cigar, and his big hands shook
as he lighted 1t, without word of ex-
cuse to her. A strange feeling came to
her that he felt what he dreaded ap-
preaching and was no longer conscious
of her presence.
She heard footsteps in the larger
room coming toward the office door.
Henry was in suspense. A rap came
at the door. He whitened, and wet his
lips.
Come in," he summoned.
One of the office girls entered, bring
ing white page of paper with three
or four lines of purple typewriting up
on IL which Constance recognized must
be a transcript of message just re-
ceived.
She started forward at sight of 1t,
forgetting everything else; but he took
the paper as though he did not know
she was there. He merely held 1t un-
til the girl had gone out; even then
he stood folding and unfolding 1t, and
his eyes did not drop to the sheet.
The girl had said nothing at all but,
having seen her, Constance was
athrill; the girl had not been a bearer
Of bad news, that was sure; she
brought some sort of good newsl Con-
stance, certain of 1t, moved nearer to
Henry to read what he held. He looked
down and read.
"What IS II, Henry?"
His muscular reaction, as he read
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her.
''S :35 a. m, Manltowoc, Wis.," she
read. "The schooner Anna S. Solwerk
has been sighted making for this port
She Is not close enough for communi-
cation, but two lifeboats, additional to
her own, can be plainly made out. 1t
is believed that she must have picked
up survivors of No. 25. She carries
no wireless, so is unable to report.
Tugs are going to her"
Two lifeboats !" Constance cried.
THAT could mean that they all are
saved or nearly all; doesn't 1t, Hen
ry; doesn't it?"
He had read some other significance
in It, she thought or, from his greater
understanding of conditions in the
storm, he had been able to hold no
hope from what had been reported.
That was the only waS she could ex-
plain TO herself as he replied to her;
that the word meant to him that men
were saved and that therefore 1t was
| dismaying to him, could not come to
her at once. When 1t came now, 1t
went over her first only In the flash
of incredulous question.
The telephone buzzer under his desk
sounded; she drew close as he took
up his receiver.
"ManitowocT he said. 81 want to
know what you've heard from the Sol
werk. You hear me7 :.

Constance had caught his shoulder
while he was speaking and now clung
to 1t. Release-release Of strain was
going through him she could feel it,
and she heard 1t in his tones and saw
] 1t in his eyes.

IRENE CASTLE RETURNS TO
SCREEN AT GRAND TOMORROW

Mrs. Irene Castle, famous danseust
and actress appears again on the sill
yer sheet for the first time in more
than two years, in the picture called
EFrench Heels" which comes to the
Grand tomorrow.
It is difficult to estimate in ad-
vance the welcome that local theater
patrons will accord this celebrated
and popular artistic. Suffice to say
that the Grand theater will no doubt
be crowded to capacity. In her first
appearance in this city Mrs. Castle
has always been favored with capac-
ity audiences, whether appearing in
person or on the screen, and it is safe
TO assume, therefore, that French
Heels" will draw record houses at
each performance.
The stor yof 'French Heels" intro
duces Mrs. Castle in a series of whiri-
wind events. She dances, rides,
swims, and wears number of stun
ming wraps an gowns that will no
doubt be the envy of every woman in
town. The action of the story takes
place in New York city and in the
lumber camps OF the far north. It is
! modern story, written especially for
the star, and is said to provide her
with some of the best opportunities of
her career.
''French Heels" which is Hold
Einson released picture, was directed
by Edwin L. Hollywood, who for
several years was production man
ager TO rMary Pickford.

Substitute for Platinum
Suitable for Some Uses

Washington, March 2S.-Govern-
ment scientists after extensive inves-
legations have found what they de-
clare to be satisfactory substitutes for
platinum for various purposes, ac-
cording to an announcement by the
United States Bureau of Mines. In
chemical requirements and for use III
high duty electrical contracts, how
ever, the announcement said, no sub
stitute for platinum has ever been
discovered.
One of the most promising substi-
tutcs was said by the experts to be
what has come to be known as
white gold" which is an alloy of
gold and one of the platinum metals.
This closely resembles platinum, it
was said, and is not attacked by
nitric acid. white gold" is used
extensively in certain classes of jew
clry hut does not replace platinum in
the manufacture of high class jewel
ry, it was pointed out.
Experts i'll the Bureau of Mines
said that owing to its resistance to
the action of acids and most chemi-
cal agents, even at high temperature,
and to its high melting point, plati-
mum has been used extensively for the
manufacture of crucibleS, basins,
foils and wire, and for chemical lab
oratory work. Most of the metal pro-
duccd in the United States is said to
he recovered as a secondary mineral
from placer operations and from the
iolcctrolytic refining of gold bullion
and blister content. From time to
time. the bureau said. the beach
sands of Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia had been exploited by pro-
meters on the basis of the gold and
platinum contcnt
