The Daily Short Story

Perhaps it was love of adven-
ture. but more likely it was dis
like for work, that drove Dick Rad
don to speculation. The police, who
had him registered under three
aliases. had way of calling it
burglary. Radon was good look
ing, well dressed and of polished
mAnner-a black sheep who made
III use OF his advantages.
Luck had been against him in
several ventures, when fate IA
vored him by sending a honeymoon
pair to the fashionable apartment
house where he lived. At 3 o'clock
the next morning he visited their
rooms. The rich contents of the
brides jewel case were transferred
to a handkerchief and the case re-
placed in the dresser. Radon,
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-12-07

elated over his success. started
leisurely to return to his own
room. His hand was on the door
knob when a cry of fire rang
through the house. Opening the
door, he found the hallway filled
with smoke and the air clustering
hot. His only way of escape lay
through the suite occupied by the
bridal couple.
Noisily he hustled into the
rooms, and, shouting to arouse
them, prepared to depart by means
of the life rope coiled at the win
dow. The lights were turned III
and disclosed to Radon one who
had been Edna Radcliffe. Memory
of avs at the seashore flashed
through his mind. The bride gave
startled cry of surprise, but

there was no time for explanation.
The young woman, warned that
there was time to save nothing,
was lowered to the ground. Rad
don insisted that her husband be
next. After long delay and with
much difficulty and danger Rad
don succeeded in letting himself
own to the crowd that swarmed in
the streets.

attempt at a laugh. But you

Mrs. Day placed herself between
the men and took an arm of each.
Thus they walked through the
crowd of people. stopping now and
then to look back at the burning
building.

Day.

"Goodnight"-and she put out her
hand. 81 will thank you more in

touched it.
AS they turned to go up the
steps Day felt touch on his
arm.

don, handing him a small packet
made up in a handkerchief" beg

must have forgotten her dia-

Then, before Day could speak, he
turned and went back into the
crowd.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Z, 1906.

Riparian rights wrongfully given by
the State Riparian Commission, under an
erroneous construction of the law gov
erning grants in fee by the former coun-
sci of the board, Mr.. Record, are to be
sued for and recovered for the State by
the Attorney-General. The State Board
by resolution, requests this action.
These grants We're given years ago.
and the prices were absurdly low. But
they represent only drop in the buck
ct" of the riparian values diverted from
the State school fund into private pock-
cts. 1t is possible that a searching in
vestigation of the transactions of the
State Riparian Board going many years
back would show that valuable gratis
We're made illegally, and, perhaps, fraud
ulently.
Attorney General McCarter has
BROUGHT to light enough TO warrant the
belief that much remains to be uncover
ed. The various State commissions in
the past were careless. The commits
sioners in some cases were disposed to
favor interests that had influenced their
appointments and that could easily be
done.
Governors are members of the commits
sion, but Governors are members of other
State boards, and have their important
executive duties to perform. 1t would
be physical impossibility for Govern
or to pay close attention to the business
details of the boards of which he is a
member. If grave irregularities are
shown the delinquents cannot hide behind
the gubernatorial skirts.
The Attorney General evidently real
les the necessity for a thorough overhaul
ing Of the affairs of the riparian domain,
and he can do the State splendid service
by probing these affairs to the bottom
and making all the transactions of past
years clear to the people.-Newark Ad-
yertiser.
