Sir Charles Bascombe's voice died
away to whisper as he stared in an
awed fashion over Arizona's shoulder.
In another moment every eye in the
room had followed his with equal awe,
as well they might. for in the doorway
stood Mr.. and Mrs. Spratt, Senior,
flanked by the superintendent and
squad of capable looking policemen.
Mrs. Spratt was the first to speak.
Arizona! What is the meaning of

home from the opera. Mrs. Depuyster
Schuyler telephoned me to say she

1t was almost Immediately after this
that Arizona, out on the terrace, saw
crouching figure, making desperate
dive in the direction of the front door,
every line of his figure registering
guilty stealth. The person who was
attempting to leave without a good
night was none other than Chick,
Ruby Bright's mysterious boy friend,
about whom Ruby knew little or moth

he earned living - who had stalled

while the evidence clicked in Arizona's
mind, she dashed into the living room,
and withdrew gun from the holster
of the nearest cowboy. In fash she
had her back to the door. pointing the
gun at the astonished Chick.
Stick 'em up and keep 'em up!'
Instinctively Chick obeyed. But
there was strange look in his eyes -
an angry look, not a frightened one.
"All rightw he said. "I'll put them up

Suddenly a loud scream rent the

elder Mrs. Spratt had left the room
one of those silences which seems in
evitable when anyone within hearing

the snail remaining group. Nobody
could help listening.
"Oh, but you are quite mistaken,

As the evening progressed, the party

Production Restrictions End
Due to Strong Demand

By tie Associated Press.


LONDON, Oct. 17-SThe strong de-
mand for copper brought about by the
British rearmament program and the
contemplated increase in American de-
fenses resulted todayin the removal of
restrictions on production by those
producers associated in the interna-
tional copper cartel
The producing areas principally af-
fected by the removal Of restrictions
are Rhodesia, Chile and the Belgian
Congo.
tThe American copper companies
are not associated in the cartel. except
as to some of their foreign subsidiaries.
International Nickel, major Canadian
producer, and Cerro de Pasco. large
Peruvian producer, also are not in the
cartel and were not affected by re-
strictions imposed by the cartel. Rus
sia also is not in the cartel}
The restriction was removed, as Of
October Is, 'for whatever period is
considered advisable" the cartel said.
The resulting increase in production,
copper circles felt, may check the up
ward trend In prices which has been in
progress for some time.
On the London Metal Exchange
copper prices opened sharply higher,
then declined somewhat after the car
tells announcement was published.

Despite recent price advances. trade
circles reported, demand for spot cop
per has held at a comparatively high
pitch, due to broadening inquiry from
the automobile industry in particular
and a brighter industrial picture in
general.
