HE FAVORS HIGH SITE.
j. NJ. Stark Writes Letter About Fifth
Ward School Location.

Below is letter on the question of
the site for the new South side school
building which comes before the board
OF education for consideration this
evening and which has proven of spe-
c1al interest to the people living in this
portion of the city:
At the meeting of the board of edu-
cation this evening selection will be
maze Of the site for the new Fifth ward
school building. 1t has been the GUS
tom in the past to allow members
from the ward interested to select the
site. In the present case, however,
maJorlt of the people are favoring the
higher location, while Mr. Jordan
backed by Mr.. Hardy. and minority
consisting largely of property owners
IN walnut Grove, favor the lower
ground between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets in Walnut Grove
AS the members of the board from
the ward are both opposed to the ma
Jority of the people-doubtless the
board VIII assume the responsibility as
a Whole-unless they do so the majority
OF the people affected are without rep
resentation and their wishes will be en-
tirely disregarded. The greater por-
ton of the land selected for the lower
location has been frequently flooded to
a depth of from one to five feet and in
rainy seasons the neighborhood is damp
and ma1arious
Following a flood the odors in that
locality are unbearable, and the health
of the children would be greatly en-
dangered thereby
Under the law of 1909 the board has
full power to condemn any property
desired for school purposes and there is
no occasion for any alarm as to its be-
ing held up for more than the land is
worth
Further, it is against the policy of
the law for any board of education to
enter into any contract with any mem
Der of such board for the furnishing of
any such building.
(Signed) 81 M STARK"

| go on" she said coldly. 1T is too
late to shield me. The time to have
done that was when l was your
guest"
We'll" he went on, his eyes turned
carefully away from my face, which
must have presented certainly any
thing but a pleasant sight. Miss
West was going to do me the honor to
marry me, and"
You scoundrel!" / burst forth,
thrusting past Alison Vests chair.
"You-you Internal curl"
One of the detectives got up and
stood between us.
you must remember, Mr. Blakeley,
that you are forcing this story from
this man. These details are unpleas-
ant, but important. You were going
to marry this young lady," he said,
turning to Sullivan, although you al
ready had a wife living?"
1T was my sisters plan, and l was
in bad way for money. If 1 could
marry, secretly, a wealthy girl and go
to Europe, it was unlikely that Ida
that is, Mrs. Sullivan-would hear
of it.
so it was more than a shock to see
my wife on the train, and to realize
from her face that she knew what was
going on. | don't know yet, unless
some of the servants-Well, never
mind that.
1T meant that the whole thing had
gone up. Old Harrington had carried
gun for me for years, and the same
train wouldn't hold both of us. OF
course, l thought that he was in the
coach just behind ours"
Hotchkiss was leaning forward now,
his eyes narrowed, his thin lips drawn
to a line.
Are you left-handed, Mr.. Sullivan"
he asked.
Sullivan stopped in surprise.
NO." he said gruffly. Cant do
anything with my left hand" Hotch-
kiss subsidized, crestfallen but alert.
81 tore up that cursed telegram, but
was afraid to throw the scraps
away. Then looked around for low
er ten. It was almost exactly across
my berth was lower seven, and It
was, of course, a bit of exceptional
luck for me that the car was number
seven"
did you tell your sister of the tel.
egram from Bronson?" | asked.
mo. 1t would do no good, and she
was in a bad way without that to
make her worse"
Your sister was killed, / Think"
The shorter detective took a small
package from his pocket and held it
in his hand, swapping the rubber band
which held it.
yes, she was killed" Sullivan said
soberly. What I say now can do her
no harm"
He stopped to push back the heavy
hair which dropped over his fore
head and went on more connectedly.
1T was late, after midnight. and we
went at once to our berths. I'M
dressed, and then / lay there for an
hour, wondering how / was going to
get the notes. Some one in lower
nine was restless and wide awake.
but finally became quiet
THE man in ten was sleeping heav.
lily. | could hear his breathing, and It
seemed to be only a question of get
ting across and behind the curtains
of his berth without being seen. Aft
er that, it was a mere matter of quiet
searching.
1.-THE car became very still. l was
about to try for the other berth, when
some one brushed softly past, and
lay back again.

"Oh very WELL" he said with as
sumed Indifference.
Hotchkiss just then escaped from
Richey's grasp and crossed the room.
did you ever wear glasses?" he
asked eagerly.
Never" Sullivan glanced with
some contempt at mine.
I'D better begin by going back a
little" he went on sullenly. Il sup
pose you know l was married to Ida
Harrington about five years ago. She
was good girl, and l thought lot
of her. But her father opposed the
marriage-he'd never liked me, and he
refused to make any sort of settle
ment.
81 had thought, of course, that there
would be money, and it was bad day
when | found out I'd made mistake.
My sister was wild with disappoint-
ment. We were pretty hard up, my
sister and l."
was watching Alison. Her hands
were tightly clasped in her lap, and
she was staring out of the window at
the cheerless roof below. She had
set her lips little, but that was all.
You understand, of course, that I'm
not defending myself" went ON the
sullen voice. The day came when
old Harrington put us both out of the
house at the point of revolver, and
threatened-I suppose you know
that, tool threatened to kill him.
MY sister and | had hard times
after that. We lived on the contin-
ent for while. | was at Monte Car

young lady there, the granddaughter
Of steel manufacturer and an heir

with new title, but we had row,
and l came home. | went out to the
Heaton boys ranch in Wyoming, and
met Bronson there. He lent me mon
ey, and I've been doing his dirty work
ever since"
Sullivan got up then and walked
