Kelyong, the lonely mountain OF
Korea, experienced a r~eal-estate boom
that made the oil-tOwn promoter pale
into insignificance. On a tiny piece of
land on the mountain side were en-
camped 2.562 persons, forming 51S
households. while hundreds more were
gathered at the base, bidding high
prices for the privilege of buying a
bit of land among the favored.
The Korean prophet, Chyong Kan,
whose writings have been preserved in
the ancestral mausOlenm of the me
time imperial family of Korea. long
ago phophesied that Mount Keiyong
would be chosen as the religious cen-

as the future capital and metropolis
If the peninsula. His prophecy has
recently been given great publicity, it

Good Portable Lock.

A portable door and window lock
that can be carried In the pocket and
applied anywhere without nails or
screws has recently been invented by
B. N. Wickwire Of Carbonate. Pa.
II consists of a wedge that is place.
between the door and the doorjamb.
The wedge carries a series of fine
teeth that are brought lightly into CON
tact with the wood by pressure upon a
lever. If anyone attempts to open the
door the movement wedges the lock
into the jamb and the teeth grip so
firmly that the entire door frame must
be torn away, the inventor declares,
before the lock can be forced.

There came silence. Not a sound
broke the stiffness of the late after
noon.
Gramont. listening. lay bewildered
and breathless. Ben Chacherre come
here? Gramont knew nothing of any
tie between Jachin Fell and Cha
cherre; he could only lie in the grass
and wonder at the mans presence.
What place" was II that the sheriff
of Houma had been looking over7 And
what was 1t that he, Gramont, was
supposed to have done?
Confused and wondering. Gramont
waited. And, as he waited. he caught
a soft sound from the marshy
ground beside him-a faint "plop" as
though some object had fallen close
by on the wet grass. At h moment
he paid no heed TO this sound. for
again the uncanny silence had fallen.
Listening. Gramont fancied that he
caught slow. stealtby footsteps amid
the underground, but derided the
fancy as sheer Imagination. His brain
was busy with this new problem.
Houma, he knew. was the seat of the
parish or county. This Ben Chacherre
appeared to have suddenly and unex-
pectedly encountered the sheriff, to
his obvious alarm, and the sheriff had
for some reason decided to arrest
him so much was clear.
Chacherre had nothing to do with
the 'place"-did that mean the ada
cent property, or the Ledanois farm?
In his puzzled bewllderment over this
imbroglio Gramont for the moment
quite forgot the trlckle Of oil at his
feet.
But 1ow the deep silence became
unnatural and sinister. What had
happened? Surely, Ben Chacherre
had not been arrested and taken away
in such silencei Why had the voices
so abruptly ceased? Vaguely uneasy,
by the prolongation of that
stiffness, Gramont rose TO his
feet and peered among the trees.
The two speakers seemed to have
departed; he could descry nobody in
sight. A step to one side gave Ora
mont a view of the land adjoining the
.edanols place. This was cleared of
all brush. and under some immense
oaks to the far left he had a glimpse
