AUSTRIA SOON TO REOPEN
18TH CENTURY GOLD MINE

VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE Austrian
government is preparing to reopen
a gold mine which has not been
worked since the fifteenth century.
A Portuguese syndicate has already
placed considerable modern ma
chinery in the mine. and new shafts
are being cut to replace the old
ones.
The mine, which is at KIiening,
is said to have shown in recent
surveys one ounce of gold to the
ton, and the auriferous Iodes ex-
tend far into the mountainside.
The Government is also working a
gold mine in the High Tauern, be-
tween Heiligenblut and Boeckstein,
where about two-fifth of an ounce
TO the ton is being obtained. The
Romans once mined gold in this
section.

turned out to be something very
alarming. It was all arranged,
mother told him, that he was 10
go to dancing-schoo in the Ger
mania Club ballroom on Tues
day afternoons. Mother pointed
out that, now he was fifteen
years old, and halfway through
prep. school, he ought to learn
to dance. Neale had no theoretic
objections to offer and had given
his word that he would not OBJ
ject. So hiding, except for his
first wild look of dismay, the
terror and repugnance which
filled him, he wrapped up the
newly bought patent-leather OK
fords and started. There were
limits, even to the Iroquois stoi-
cism of his acceptance of what
Fate brought him. No power on
earth could have made him walk
through the streets in those
patent-leather shoes. But mother
never pushed him anywhere near
one of those limits. She did
not even suggest that he wear
his dancing shoes. She helped
him find the paper and string
to wrap them up. Also she did
not fuss over him not
much. She looked at him hard,
picked off thread off the sleeve
of the blue serge which was his
dress-up costume, and called his
attention to the fact that a but
ton of his vest was unbuttoned.
She did not offer to button it
herself, or handle him in any
way. Mother was all right, If
she did want him to go to dane
ing-schooI.
So he went. And it was not
so bad, not nearly so bad as he
feared, the reassuring fact being
that everybody else there was
in the same boat. You could see
how they all despised it. Except,
of course, the girls. While he
was changing his shoes in silent
alarm and disgust in the cloak

further admission, Athletics are

in his tone intimated that he was
baffled rather than convinced.
Neale considered that athletics
were not only all right. but all
there was to life, he found no
comment to make.
A moment later, But, great
Scott" began his father with
some heat as though struck
with some aspect of Neale's life.
He seemed to hear the too-great
'vivacity of his accent and to wait
until he could ask quite casually,

Neale considered. 1t hadn't
struck him before, but it was a
fact that after school and ath-
letic practice, all the boys van
ished to their various homes.
Never having known any
other than this city relation
with school-mates it seemd to him
obvious and natural. Visit me?"
he said, trying to imagine ore

Crittenden dinner-table, and then,

wouldn't be anything special to
do at home, would there?"
His father drew or his cigar
thoughtfully, and walked on in
silence.
But he had a long talk with
Neale's mother that evening, the
two country and village-bred
parents putting their. heads to-
gether, earnestly though help
lessly. The only course which
occurred to them was proposed to
Neale, a week later. when mother
asked him If he would do some
thing to please her. Incautiously
Neale said, of course, yes, he
would. He was always willing
enough to please mother, and
he had never made the slightest
objection to anything his parents
planned for him. But this plan

course, did nothing Of the kind,

back to his seat. This was q
tactical error. The master
spotted him at once. Couldn't

me, then" He whirled Neale
about the room till his soul
sickened, led him up to the other
side OF the room and sent him
off with a bony, red-haired girl
with freckles. Neale was caught
that way twice, but no more after
that. He had at least ordinary
sense, he told himself. Next
time the music started, he gulped
down his objections to the whole
proceeding and bowed to the
prettiest girl in the room.
The course was very thorough,
covering much that was obso-
descent, and good deal that was
definitely dead. In that and
succeeding lessons Neale received
instruction in the steps Of the
polka, the schottische, the var
sovienne.. The two-step he really
learned, managing to yale" down
the length Of the hall without
stepping on his partners feet;
and although he hated the waltz,
he was forced by infinite repe-

Neale carried into his dancing
the same minute earnestness that
won him success at his games and
studies. He did rot see the use
of dancing, any more than he saw
the use of learning German. But
as the jobs seemed to have to be
done, he tackled both of them
conscientiously. He remembered

was one part of Neale's year the
rightness Of which they did not
doubt, it was the summer spent
in the country where his father
had grown up. Now they were
confronted with perfectly new
aspect of the problem OF what TO
do with him. They solved it by
not doing anything for the pres

Heights, and beyond on the Pali-

this was enough. He tried to
amuse himself with baseball again,
but it was not as he remembered
it. The three years he had
been at Hadley Prep had
separated him from his old
friends. They were no longer
to be found. Some were at work
some had moved away. The
boys playing ball seemed absurdly
young. The vacant lots them
selves were absurdly small and
rough. How could they have
played there? He gave the thing
up and moped.

"Oh, yes, you would" said our

beast. When an enemy ap-

warns the crocodile of danger"

looked and there was the
great monster with his mouth
wide open. What powerful Jaws
he had and what a terrible-look-
ing mouth! But the little ziczac
wasn't frightened at all.
He fluttered around the awful
mouth and then he flew right in!
In fact, he was going into his
restaurant to get his supper!
For he started to pick at the
particles of food which were left
between the teeth of the croco-
die, and the crocodile seemed
delighted to have him do it. For
he blinked his eyes sleepily and
dozed off, while the little ziczac

spite Of his long trousers and

thing escaped him; his time had

his father turned south and
Neale went to the school. Then
talk was harder to dodge-not
that Neale ever consciously
lodged. They would walk. a
dozen blocks. Father would ask
q question, Neale would answer
1t. Another dozen blocks, and
another question. Once Father
asked if Neale wasn't sticking
indoors too much. Couldn't he
manage to get a little more exer-
else? Neale explained the seri-
BUSINESS of his studies and pointed
out that he still rode his wheel
on Saturdays. But the sugges-
. ton took root. Neale bought a
: pair of Indian clubs and an in
struction book, and took to swing
ing the clubs fifteen minutes night
and morning with the windows
open.
Another time Father said, Look
here, Neale, haven't you any
friends?"
Neale was astonished, "Why;
yes. I'm friends with the whole
class"
Eyes, I suppose so, but you
never seem to be with them out
side OF school, When I went to
school we were always playing
around each others yards and
barns"
you went to school in the
country" Neale reminded him.
