READ THIS FIRST: Jill Justin, ultra-modern and as lambently lovely at 20 as the Saga | Mly, starts out on a moon-lit night in August, accompanied by her| brother Tony, to attend a harvest festival. % The two run into an automobile | hold-up. Jill i6 kidnaped by bandits, | who carry her into the hills, from where she 18 rescued by Jack Stuart, | who takes her home. | It is the old story retold. Jack | stays for a visit and remains to wed | the lovely Jill. The passing of two vears finds them the proud and | happy parents of twin boys and & | girl. Now transpires an event destined | to bring about radical changes in the | lives of these people. Wandering | through the hills back of the Justin home. Stuart stumbles onto an old abandoned silver mine, He also dis- | covers what he belleves to be ofl- | bearing rock. H It is Tony, however, in the follow- ing April, who brings in the big | news. He is inveigled into the hills by a pretty girl, who tells him her | name is Mary, but she i “called Mike!” Mary, who is called “Mike,” | is driving a costly roadster, and she asks Tony to guide her to a place in the hills known as The Devil's Luck. | Here she takes the lead and pilots | alm Into an electrically lighted | :hamber, from which she suddenly | disappears, only to reappear a mo- | ment later. | (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) | s i CHAPTER X “Listen, Tony!” The girl had etep- ped close up to him. “I've got to tell you something," she went on, swiftly. “You'll say, perhaps, that I should have told you at first, but—well, I had my reasons. But I've got to tell you now!"” She seemed, however, to be in no great hurry, and stood as if marshal- ing her thoughts, her lips set in a straight line. He waited, puzzied, anxious. “You might have thought it| strange,” she continued, finally, “and you would, too,” she added, flashing | a quick ¢mile at him, “if you'd been | just a little less busy sizing me up. | But you were so engaged it didn't oceur to you to wonder how it hap- pened that I show know th’ road so well. never mind that now,” she went on swiftly, as he started to speak, “there's something else far | more important.” “In th' first place, Tony, I brought vou here for a very particular pur- | pose. No, don’t interrupt me—" as | she saw his lips part. “Let me tell you everything, and then you may | {alk. And be assured of this, myi friend, nothing serious is going to happen to you—that is, nothing harmfully serious. I haven't lured | vou here to have you kidnaped and | held for ransom. | “As you've probably heard men- tioned, my father, Pat Sweeney, is a sort of general speculator. He deals | in almost anything in which there's | a chance to make money—that is, anything legal and legitimate. “Well—and so that's that. Now comes th’ shell of th’ little secret, or th’ cause for action, as you might | ®ay. “Last November an old employe of my father, an expert in minerals and oil—a man he has had on his payroll | steady for more than ten years, Big Bill Guernsey, he is called, visited Dad in Chicago and showed him some ore samples. “Dad had the samples assayed. They showed a value of almost 6 per cent tungsten, an extraordinary high percentage, Dad was told. | “The products manufactured from tungsten ores, it seems, are divided into three groups: Tungsten com- pounds, employed in the arts as mor- dants. pigments, and other things; then there's crude tungsten metal in the form of powder for making fer- | ro-tungsten and tungsten alloys, and the third group is pure tungsten, in the form of sheet, rod or wire, for use in lampe, thermionic valves, | X-ray tubes, and the like. “As a result of this assay, Dad and his man ‘Friday'—of Bill Guernsey —journeyed to th* place where Bill had found th’' ore which had been ' piled there for more than half a century. It had been thrown aside as of no value, from the waste ore taken from an old silver mine in the days when th' mining of gold and eilver was done mostly by hand. They reached th' place th’ first of De- cember, to find th' ore pile covered ' by 10 fect of snow. “It was Dad's purpose to buy th’ but he wanted first to extent of th’ vein from property, learn th* Are You Nervous, Run Down, Weak? o have “pep” and ambition, and 1o ability to do a big day's work :nd fecl “like a two year old” at 1ight, yon must cat three good me 2 day, relish your food and properly ligest it.

It sems that this ore, although widely distributed throughout th’ world, never occurs in massive form. It is found in many places through- out th' United States, often in asso- clation with silver, tin and gold. The most important deposits are in Cali- | fornia and Colorado. But it is fre- quently found in coal-bearing locali- tles like Pennsylvania and West Vir- ginia. Usually th’ ore lics in narrow veins along with cassiterite—what- ever that is—and with a mineral known as bismuth—also molyb-de- mum, if you know what that is, for I don’t. “Well, anyhow, Dad hired a bunch of men with Big Bill Guern- sey to superintend th' work. They erected a camp inside th' mine drift | and have been busy ever since. “And now—" Mike paused as if to catch her breath for a fresh start | comes th’ | welrd part.

That same fall, however, and only two weeks before then, as he learned, th' property had been taken up and a tax title issucd—" “Well, I'll be jiggered!” exploded Tony, who, quite naturally, “had been following the recital —with ever-increasing interest, “if it 1sn’t ‘Our Jack’s Ofl Well'! Whoever'd a-thought it? But go on, Mike. Who did he find as th’ owners of th’ prop- erty ? “He didn’t find,” replied the girl, ured probably 50 feet from wall to wall. 1t was well lighted, and con- tained no exit that Tony could see, save the tunnel, and he could lool back in that for 160 feet.

But she was smiling ae unconcernedly as though it were perfeetly natural for a girl to dis- appear from right under one's gaze land then pop up again a moment or so later like a jack in the box! Standing close by her, also smil- ing sociably, was a red-faced, red- headed man of aldermanic propor- tions and the map of Ireland epread all over his fovial countenance.

This soldier was supposed to have been killed in France—but he wasn't. He has an uncle, Dad learn- | ed, who lives now in Elliston. This | uncle s an old skinflint, everybody says.

Nelson $7,500 as a year's salary after the association winds up its affairs. Neither would they vote on the motion that the directors be re- quested to rescind their action next Tueaday at the directors’ meeting. The first district, which also met last night at the Community eclub, South Glastonbury, rejected a mo- tion, in form like that adopted unan- imoustly by the second district, voic- ing opposition to the $7,600 for Mr. Nelson and instructing its directors to endeavor to have the vote rescind- ed next Tuesday. John 8. Clapp, chairman of the district, presided at the seventh and eighth district meeting. A motion of censure of the direct- ors was offered but was not second- ed and was not placed before the meeting. A motion that the directors be re- quested to rescind the salary voted next Tuesday was placed before the meeting but no one voted on this motion. At the first district meeting in South Glastonbury, Henry P. 8mith, chairman, presided. There was a discussion as to what the resolution | to give Mr. Nelson the §7,600 really meant. A motion to instruct the directors of the district to endeavor next Tues- day to have the resolution rescinded was lost, the vote being 12 to 5.
