Gold Imports Slump
To S86,456,984
For July ; Week
Gold From France Drops
To Mere $27,303;
Silver Intake Doubles
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gold imports slumped to $685.
456,984 in the week ended July 3.
The Commerce Department, max
ing this report today, said the fig
ure fell far below the $418,236 ,631
mark of the preceding week be-
cause of the absence of shipments
such as the $241, 100000 of gold
brought from France by the United
States cruiser Vincennes the week
before.
Last week gold from France
amounted only to 1903.
Major shipments were $44 045,-
079 from the United Kingdom, $780,
16l ,040 from Canada, S2,3S3 900
from Sweden, So, ,l65 ,264 from Yugo-
slavia, s3,527,727 from South Africa
and $l,154,S60 from Hong Kong.
Silver imports nearly doubled dur
ing the week, to $2,4l2 SAC, primarily
because of $1,498,775 shipment
labeled from Burma. This shipment
was assumed to be Chinese, because
Burma is the principal connection
between the besieged Chinese gov
ernment in interior China and the
outside world. If SO, it was the
first large silver shipment from
China in many months.

Anyone not connected with the

about the private elevator which
was the only one that would take

floors of the hospital. Therefore, if
Chris had returned to the hospital,
she must have got off at this floor

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

Cf1.A EN- FOFk 1-ONE
FABIENNE opened the door that
led to the steps of her apartment
house and the wind caught at the
skirts of hel coat, whipping it
around her legs. The wind had died
earlier in the evening, but now it
was up again like a December gale,
nipping her fingers before she could
get her gloves on.
If it weren't 50 late in March, she
thought, I'd almost think we were
in for a blizzard.
The engine of her car was cold.
It took a long time for her to get
started and she INDUCED in a
hearty Damn" Every moment
meant so much to her. She won
dered whea Chris had risen from
her drugged sleep and left. Surely,
she hoped, it couldn't have been
very long agc. Bill had said those
sleeping tablets would put hearty
man to sleep for ten or twelve
hours. 1t was less than six since she
had left Chris in her deep sleep.
The car jerked, was still, ierked
again, and finally the motor turned
over. She sped rapidly into Fifth
avenue, was halted by a red light,
turned east and was again stopped
by a red light. So it went all the
miles of her route across town and
up Fifth avenue, Park avenue and
at last onto the East River drive
to East End avenue and the Park
Plaza hospital.
The street was utterly deserted
as if men had been driven from the
streets by the gale that swept icily
over it.
There was one car, an open road
ster, parked half a block away
from the apartment building that
housed the hospital.
AS she passed it, Fabienne's eye
was caught by the colors of the
license plates and message that
flashed to her brain. She backed
her car up beside it and looked
again.
The plates were California is
sued.
She got out Of her car and went
over to the small roadster and with
the light Of her cigaret lighter,
cupped against the wind in her
hand, she read the initials ON the
door: G.. M. P. It was Christine's
car! It must have been standing
there since she whisked Christine

It did not mean, she told herself
she didn't feel, that Christine was
