Gold of the Ancienfs

The supply OF gold in ancient times
was derived mostly from surface sands
and gl'avels which Yielded their val
ues by simple processes of washing.
Gold was thus mined at very early
period in India, Central Asia, the
southern Urals and in the region bor-
dering the eastern Mediterranean. APP
parently the discovery Of gold is not
attributed to any one person. The an
Gent workings for locating gold have
been ascribed to the Egyptians and
have been found in the mountains Of
Nubia, and Dr. Karl Peters has de-
scribed extensive mines In the interior
of South Africa, not far from the
gold fields of Rhodesia-a locality be-
lieved by Doctor Peters to be the
Ophir of the Israelites. The Romans
operated mines in Hungary, Spain and
Great Britain at various periods. Dur
ing the Middle ages the mining indus
try seems to have made little progress.

When a son is horn to a North AZ

ter, the father cries: "A misfortune

As the girl grows up she Is trained

ry, Poetic phrases about beauty are
sung to her. Later on. in spite of the
Koran, which describes tattooing as

When the girl is of manageable
age she Is also ready for her prison
Her father begins to think about the
dot--which he will get back-and the
gift he will receive from the husband,
which practically amounts to price
for selling his daughter. At ten or
twelve, then, the girl is handed over
TO her husband. whether she likes 1t
or not For father can impose mar
rlage on an unmarried girl. 1t is what
Is called the right OF Djebr, which Is
recognized by law and custom.
The father may consult his daugh-
ter, but she must not reply except by
smile or by tears Ii she smiles 1t
Is because she is glad to be married ,
IL she weeps 1t simply means that she
agrees to the marriage, though regret
ting to leave her fathers house-a
convenient bit OF duplicity. If she
should categorically refuse the man
who bought her, the father would APP
ply the law of Djebr by blows of the
matraque, or Arab club.
The consent OF widow or a d.
vorced woman Is necessary, though
that does not prevent her being sold
by her father or her brothers, or even
by her children; for in all these re-
lations Of her civil life she Is repre-
sented by a proxy or Quail, who Is
practically her master.
The same law also permits polyg
amy, which Is often necessary, especi-
ally among the poor; though they us
ually have only two wives, who are
used for all kinds OF work relieving
one another, since one wife would
hardly be enough for the days tasks.
Meanwhile the husband does his bit
by putting ON more or less torn
hurnoose and going-very much like
an ancient Roman senator--to drink
his kaoua al the Moorish cafe or to
discourse at the Djemaa or else to look

WINIFRED HART
BACK IN films
Bill Harris Wife viii Pick Up
Career Again.

BIZ NEA Service
NEW YORK, June 21.-The name
Of Hart is to flash across the great
open spaces of Hollywood again.
1t has been off the silver screen
since 'two-gun" Bill went into tenn
porary retirement, or whatever it
was, a season or two ago, but Wini-
fred Westover Hart has been wait
ing patiently until she could I'M
tangle the legal knots that have
held her for the last five years.
Now, with the divorce difficulties
off her hands and Bill, Jr., grown
to a strappling lad, she is going to
pick up her career where she
dropped it when her marital affairs
became as complicated as most of
"TWo-Gun" Bills western plots.
She had signed her name to an
agreement that she would not ap-
pear in the films or figure in the
movie spotlight until a divorce de-
cree had been granted. Willy-nilly
she was tied to domesticity, but now
she is free to do as she pleases.
Winifred intends to keep the
name Hart, for a time, at any rate,
but will make no effort to trade
upon her ex-huSband's reputation,
she says.

Dinny subsidized, a discouraged
droop at the corners of his mouth.
Don remained with Diana and
Lola for an hour or more. When he
started to leave Lola accompanied
him for a short distance down the
walk.
Il think can manage to get to-
morrow off" said Don, meditatively.
Lets drive out to Mt. Avery-won-
derful scenery. It'll be cool, too, up
in~the hills. What d. you say?"
I'D love it," replied Lola. running
hand over her hair. The sun,
glinting over its dark surface, made
its blue-black lights simmer.
The next day dawned full of
promise. The sun was still low on
the eastern horizon when Don and
LoE were speeding over the first
fifteen, miles of their journey. Mt.
Avery lay thirty miles away.
They were ascending a steep hill.
Lola's avid glance drank in the
scene, the invigorating air whipping
her face and filling her with keen
delight.
Look down there, DOM" she
shouted above the roar of the en-
CINE. Isn't that gorgeous?" She
was pointing to the panorama of
trees and fields over which a light
haze was rising.
Don followed her pointing finger
with his eyes forgetting for an in
slant his duty to the car They were
rounding a curve and his momen-
tary inattention kept him from see
ing in time the huge bowlder that
must have been diSlodged from the
incline on the other side. The
bowlder lay directly in the center
of the road. Don turned the wheel
frantically. But it was too late. A
sudden jar, a crash and the car
hurtled down the side of the bluff.
Several moments later Lola pulled
herself from under the seat. The
car had turned turtle. Dazed she
staggered to her feet and looked
about for Don. He was lying fat
on the ground beneath the car, its
weight holding him down, helpless.
She dropped to her knees close to
his head. At first she thought him
dead, he lay so still. His face was
plastered with mud and CRIME.
Don! Oh. DOM" Lola's voice
rose in a half chriek. Then calling
every ounce of strength to her arms
she made an effort to pull him from
his Imprisonment. She tried in vain
to lift the weight Of steel, but her
puny strength was pitifully made
quate. Don was wedged tight I'M
der the wreck, his body caught just
above the knees.
He groaned once and Lola bent
close in an attempt to look in
to his eyes. She saw that he was
alive. His eyes opened and he
smiled wanly at the frightened face
of the girl over him.
"Damn-legs-hurt!" he moaned
feebly.
Il know, I know! But I can't
lift off that awful weight. I'll have
to get help. I'll go right away!"

Before leaving him, however, Lola
removed the light coat she was
wearing, and, folding it, placed it
under Don's head for a pillow. He
smiled again, very weak, very pitt
full mile.
You're sweet" he gasped, to
bother" 1t was thus she left him.
In the first shock of the accident
Lola had overlooked the fact that
she herself was injured. Now, as
she set out on her mission she was
conscious of sharp pain in one
of her wrists. A purplish swelling
was beginning to make its appear
ance and the slightest movement of
the bruised arm was agony to her.
Not without some doubt as to the
wisdom of her act Lola made her
way toward a clump of trees
through which she sighted a beaten
path. 1t was still early in the day.
No sign of life was visible anywhere.
The valley lay wrapped in the tram
quill quiet of the summer morning.
Its calm was ironic, it seemed to
the girl, considering the suffering of
the man lying helplessly pinned I'M
der the wreck of the heavy car
back there.
To Lola it seemed that hours must
have passed while she wandered
through the grove hunting a way
out. The first sign of human habi-
tation greeted her anxious sight in
the form Of a lazy smoke curling
up from the chimney of log cabin
almost hidden by thick trees.
A woman, tall and gaunt, one of

| those ageless mothers of the soil,
responded to the girls knock. Brief
ly Lola outlined to her what had
happened.
Get Toby and hitch him to tn
wagon" the woman called to some
one in the rear of the cabin. A
boy of about ten appeared, stared at
Lola for an instant and then darted
toward a small out-building behind
the cabin.
The woman herself took charge of
the work of hitching up the sturdy
little mule the boy had led out to a
light wagon. A few minutes later
they were on their way to Don'S
rescue. They found him painfully
alive. Almost incessant groans and
the drawn lines of his face told of
his acute suffering.
Lola experienced a thrill of ad-
miration when the woman with one
powerful lift tilted the car back
sufficiently to loosen the weight
from Don's legs. Lola pulled him out
and then the woman and she man
aged to get him up the sloping bank
to the road, where the mule cart
had been left.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Now Don has compromised Lola,
as well as Teddy and Diana-what
will Lola do? Read the next in
