set at rest, however. by the return of
the messenger boy, bearing parcel
addressed to Carter In Helens own
handwriting.
Hastily but carefully tearing OF the
wrapper. Carter found that she had
sent him record In reply to his own.
A minute later he placed 1t on his
graphophone and waited In hope and
fear for the words she had spoken.
They came. slowly and distinctly:
Mr. Carter: l think you are right.
Helen Granger"
We'll. what do you think OF that
Tag?" demanded Carter wrathfully
turning to the terrier. who had man
aged to elude the vigilance Of the
servant and creep once more into his
masters den. She says she thinks
l am right. Right in what? Right In
loving her, right in proposing to her,
right In telling her Of my love In this
way. or right in supposing I'm
the biggest fool who ever lived?
This is too much. Tag. I'm going to
her house and stay there until find
out what It means If have to stay
there week. This thing must be
settled"
A few minutes later Carter reached
the Granger home Helen was not in.
so he decided to await her return. In
the drawing room he pondered over
the turn affairs had taken and strove
to find a solution OF the enigmatical
reply he had received. 1t was all In
vain however: he could conjure no
hope or reason from Helens words.
As he walked up and down the room
in his agitation. he happened to no.
tice his ayowal of love In record form
lying on a table near Helens graphic
phone. He picked II up and gazed
at II az II It could afro some soiu
ton of the problem. There was moth
Ing in its appearance to help him,
30 he placed II upon the graphophone
and started the machine.
A moment of silence followed then
the steady clicking O. the needle as
It worked its way over the blank part
of the record, and the words began
to come.
My dear Helen: I have tried to -
love you, but cannot do So know
that - you love me. bu,

Tom Carter"
With an exclamation OF horror. Car.
ter took the record and examined II
carefully. He found several minute
cracks In the cylinder.shaped object
and understood Il all. The record had
been dropped and cracked, probably
by the messenger boy: the cracked
portions gave forth NO coherent sound
a. the needle passed over them. His
ardent avowai Of love had been
changed to sound like . rejection OF
Helen's proteststion Of affection. What

Then it was learned that the house be-
longed to George d. Farr, who also re-

Since then it has changed hands again
and again, and the court is asked to
decree a discovery by the defendants as
to who is the owner of the property and
to compel the owner TO erect the required
fire escape.
II the owner then refuses to do so, the
court is asked to issue an injunction to
prevent the further occupation of the

FIRE ESCAPE LAW
TO Be ENFORCED
District Building Inspector
Aroused to Activity.

Admitting that in spite Of the stringent
of apartment houses and small hotels of
Washington have not complied with the
| regulations regarding the equipment of
such buildings with adequate fire escapes,
! Morris Hacker, the District building in
spector, said last night he. was compelled
daily to send warnings to the delinquents,
many of whom even then did their best
to escape the expense of constructing fire
escapes.
This department intends to use the ut
most vigilance in bringing to justice old
offenders who have been given fair warn
ing" Mr.. Hacker said last night
Claim They Are FireprooE
There are at present several apartment
owners claiming that their buildings are
fireproof, and that under the present law
they are not compelled to provide means
of escape" Mr.. Hacker said
such men, in some instances real es-
tate dealers who are in charge of certain
properties, have banded together and
have taken their complaints to Congress-"
Mr.. Hacker continued.
'1 cannot say positively, but I believe
that Congress will amend the law and
not compel fire escapes to be constructed
on fireproof rooming houses"
In connection with the fire escape ques-
ton, a suit was filed yesterday after
noon in the Supreme Court of the District
by the Commissioners against the rec
ord owner and five previous owners OF
the Amherst apartment house in Co.
lumbia road, to determine whether the
provisions of the fire escape law may be
avoided by a change of ownership, and
whether the notice required by the reg
uiations have to be accorded each sue
cessive owner, or runs with the land.
Through Corporation Counsel Thomas
and Assistant Corporation Counsel F. II.
Stephens, the Commissioners told the
court that June "a. 1909, they notified
Bates Warren, the owner Of the property
at that time, 70 equip the building With
fire escapes.

but had been transferred to Jesse l.
