employed In a dress shop. Celia,
after a long search. finds work as a
stenographer. Barney Shields, young

girl he loves her and swears some
oay they will be married.
Mrs. Rogers receives a letter sign
ed John Mitchell, offering to give
Celia every advantage of education,
travel and social position II the
mother vii give her up. Margaret
declares she will never do this, but
when she Is faced with serious i'll

Mitchell comes TO Baltimore and has
q long interview with Margaret. He
calls at the Rogers apartment and
Margaret introduces him, saying:

Now Go On With The Story
CHAPTER VII
For an instant the room was
silent. IL was an electric stiffness.
Then Margaret Rogers went on
flatteringly. She was addressing her
daughter and her voice was tense
and low.

She turned toward Mitchell.

The findings Of the expert cDt1l-

also established the belief that
Andree had entertained hopes
81 pushing on from White Island
possibly to Franz Joseph Land
but had abandoned this plan
after Strindbefg fell III and died.

These deductions were drawn
from the discovery that the ex-

Of the sIedges, was fully loaded
with food, ammunition, navigating
tables. and the expeditions

the camp was made ut White

Of the party, already had sue

Of rescue. too great for himself
alone. It must have been then
that he resigned himself to death.
This resignation did not come
Immediately, however. as Is shown

new WAY IS FOUND
TO RECOVER COPPER
Process Will Depend Upon Cheap
Hydro Electric Power-Small Oper-
ator Can Produce Own Copper.

PULLMAN, Wash. [R).-Discovery Of
o new process for the recovery of prac-
tically pure copper from copper sui
phide ores by means of q hydro-electric
metallurgical process has been made.
The process was developed by the
School of Mines and Geology at WASH
ington State College after q year OF
research. 1t win depend upon cheap
hydro-electric power for its chief ad-
vantage over the old methods, said A.
Z. Drucker, dean of the College Of
Mining.
During the last is years certain
eiectrolytic processes have been highly
developed for zinc ore, so why not for
"COPPER"" he said. I'VE have at last
solved the various problems and are
able under the right conditions to get
a very pure cathode copper.
1.-THE small mine operator, with the
proper conditions at hand, can treat
his own ore in the mine from begin
ming to end, produce pure electrolytic
copper Of marketable value and eiimi-
nate the deductions In extractions and
various penalties usually charged
against the shipper when ore Is sold
outright to the smelter.
1--WE have conducted careful library
research to see whether any one has
worked along similar processes and can
ind only one case, IS or 10 years ago.
where little work had been done with
out success.
az think it is safe to say We are the
nrst to make such electrolytic inyesti-
cations for such q process and that
this Is the future metaliurgy for copper
sulphide ores"
