SStiO HI I4Ao OcdI1A' Chester told his story of the past weeks simply. It sounded like the account of some unrealistic dream ?'
 If I didn't know you, Taylor said Goldsmith, ''I'd say that all this was an internal 1ie.''
 F"This game shoulder is a concrete proof of part of it.'
 "But why on earth Gid you send Langham the five thousand dollars ?''
 "He is as white and square and said Chester. ''I could not rest with that stigma against me in his mind. Of course I knew that it would come back when I succeeded in clearing the matter up. And .. wasn't expecting to be fred"
 Chester suddenly felt his hand crushed in a titantic grip.
 Chester said Goldsmith, that is precisely what I knew that you would say. I was just waiting to hear it. I'll back you to the fullest extent, and we will clear this matter up.''
 Chester's eyes had filled with tears.
 'I don't know what to say,'' he muttered.
 Don't say anything said Gold rnith. and keep quiet about the quiet Investigation 4
 But why not bring it to a focus at once?"

CHAPTER XXXVI. Light. Dawning.

Chester arrived breathless at the offices of Goldsmith 6 Elkins. Lack of carfare had compelled him to l walk.
 .1s MT. Goldsmith in?" he in l quired. 'Yes,' said a new stock boy, s'but he's busy"' ''He isn't too busy to see me now The stock boy surveyed Chester's attire scornfu1ly. sI shouldn't advise you to risk 9 touch,'' he said. 'I shouldn't advise you to delay much longer,' said Chester.
 Goldsmith greeted him in the door way His look was stern, but not unkind.
 Come in, Taylor he said. land sit down. I have been looking for you"
 sI met with an accident" replied Chester, "and didn't know that you were here"
 'tI have been anxious to clear this matter up,'' said Goldsmith. "b,t there seems to be several things to be explained. In the first place what is the reason for your present garh? :? Your commissions do not appear to have lasted very long"
 .'I'll explain all that 1ater,'' said Chester. What [ want to know now is how Monsieur Richepin's account stands"
 Goldsmitn's expression hardened.
 ''You did not follow my advice" he said. "I warned you to adjust your self to MT. Elkif1s. The day after I sailed you blacked Monsieur Riche- pins eye in a brawI in the office Hence you severed connection. I do not think that you are entitled to the information.''
 Chester made an impatient gesture.
 t'Do you think he is honest?'' he inquired.
 "I have never found him other wise"
 /.eDo you think that he would com init a forgery?"
 what are you talking about, Tay- lor?'' said Goldsmith curtly.
 "Richepiu and Miss Foster con- nived together to get you to send me away down South"
 'sMiss Foster? You are dream. ing.'
 "she has told me so herself within the hour.''
 What was her motive?''
 'sWhat was Richepin's?"
 ''I don't know" said Goldsmith.
 s'I think I do. Did he produce any large checks after was gone?''
 ''No. What are you driving at?''
 ''Didn't he deposit check for five thousand dollars just after I left?''
 ''No, he deposited a five thousand dollar check on Brussels a day or two before.''
 Goldsmith was interested in spite of himself.
 tWhat's the matter with you fel- 1ows?'' he added. Young Langham was trying to get the same informa- ton just after you left"
 ..was he?" exclaimed Chester in delight. Then he has an inkling too. Did you give it to him "''
 s'No. Only in a general way. He was not entitled to it.''
 That accounts for it," Chester al- most shouted.

SUBJECT TO FINE-NOW.
Ash Collectors Must Hereafter At
tend Strictly to Business.

Yesterday was the last day for trash
collectors to go. by a barrel Of trash as II
sits waiting to be collected. II they fail
to collect today. and the watchfu house.
holder reports II to the street cleaning
department at the District building, the
chances are that the oversight will cost
the contractor, NJ. j. Ready, 81 for each
offense proved.
The reason that the trash man has
been neglectful of late is that Mr.. Ready
is a brand-new contractor. He got the
contract the first of the month and was
allowed two weeks leeway in order to get
his drivers well schooled into what they
had to do. AS a result, about a hundred
complaints a day have been received at
the District building.
MY trash has been standing in the
barrel for two weeks has been the gen.
eral tone Of these complaints, and
the inspectors who have followed
the complaint have found it gen.
orally to be true. Supt. Wood, how
a hundred complaints represent what the
street cleaning men call an eccentric
collection. That is, on a great many
blocks in the city there will be one or
two houses which have a front coilee-
ton, whereas all the other houses have
an "alley collection The trash man
goes through the alley and gets all the
trash from the back gates. not knowing
that there is one mouse without back
gate. and where the trash is placed out
in front.
That sort of thing. coupled with the
inexperience of the employees OF the new
contractor, has caused much complaint
but Mr.. Wood said today that 1t is an
old story whenever contractors are
changed. Looking over the list Of fines
and complaints three years ago, II Is
seen that for a few weeks fines ran up
into hundreds Of dollars, but dwindled to
almost nothing after the men became OK
perienced.

OPENING OF NEW ROAD.
Preliminary Arrangements for Thor
oughfare in Anacostia.

Preliminary arrangements have been
made by the War Department and the
District Commissioners for the opening of
a public thoroughfare along the east bank
of the Anacostia river from Howard
avenue. Anacostia. to a point near the
center of Omaha street in Giesboro
Manor. This road was provided for by
section of an act of Congress ap-
proved March 4, 1909. 1t passes through
the grounds of the Government Hospital
for the Insane and the Barry farm and
alongside of the Alexandria branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. That por-
tion of the road in Barry farm will be
sixty feet wide: the remainder of the
thoroughfare will have a width of ninety
feet.
A map of the proposed road was pre-
pared by the Engineer Commissioner of
the District and approved by Gen. Blk
by. chief of engineers. The act of Con-
gress authorizes the requirement by con-
demnation proceedings of all land neces-
sary for the road that cannot be obtained

telegram received here from the en-
campment committee at Denver by Mrs

the national auxiliary, announces that
former President Roosevelt cannot at
tend the encampment If the original
dates are adhered to. Hence the COM
mittee announces that the meetings will

to the encampment will present the
name Of Col. Roosevelt for commander
in-chief, provided he will consent to
accept the honor. Mrs. Galloway says
she has prepared all the literature,
badges, etc, for the convention, and the

PLANS FOR IMPROVING THE
lNACOSTIA RIVER. 6
Lieut.. Col. Langfitt Submits Project.
Recommends Buying and Cut
ting Part Of Buzzard's Point.

Cen Bixby. chief of engineers of the
army. has approved a project submitted
by Lieut.. Col W. c. Langfitt, Corps of
Engineers, for the expenditure of $780,
600 for improving the Anacostia river
at this city, appropriated by the river
and harbor act, approved June 25. last.
The present project, adopted June 13.
1902, provided for the improvement of
the river below the navy yard bridge. 1t
contemplated dredging a channel 20 feet
deep for widt hof 400 feet, the depth
gradually decreasing to feet at the
bulkhead lines on each side. The dredged
material was to be deposited on the ad-
jacent fats to an average elevation of
Z feet above low tide The reclaimed
area was to be surrounded by an earthen
embankment to a height of IA feet above
low tide. protected by masonry sea
wall, and provided with suitable drain
age. The estimated cost of the project
is $1,2ls,52
In execution of this project channel
at least twenty feet deep at mean low
water by about $50 feet wide has been
made available for a length of 9.730 feet
upstream from the mouth of the river
to the navy yard, and an area of about
15O acres of the flats has been reclaimed
to about five feet above mean low water
Would Buy Point of Land.
Col. Langfitt says that the money now
available, amounting to $232631, will be
expended in continuing the Improvement
OF that amount 100000 is allowed for
dredging. $4,000 for repairing and ex-
tending ripYap mounds. $1,000 for the
construction of $500 linear feet of ma
sonry sea wall, 5000 for acquiring a
small parcel of land at the intersection of
LIST and streets south tBuzzards point
and $4,000 for contingencies
1t is proposed to. contract for the
dredging and riprap work, and to build
the sea wall by hired labor The ma
terial for the wall will be purchased
by contract These methods are re-
Sarded most economical and ad-
vantageous to the government.
The removal OF the small parcel of
land at BuzZards point, Col Langfitt
says. is required for the rectification
of channels in the vicinity, and also
to obtain suitable material for in
constructing the entertainments to retain
the dredged material. The river was
not considered suitable for the purpose.
The land desired lies Soutside the es-
tablished harbor lines. Col. Langfitt
says the work will be done by contract
or hired labor. as shall prove most adj
vantageous. The work of removal will
depend on the progress of retaining
the flats incidental to the dredging
operations.
