MAN WHO PLANNED WASHINGTON

Washington, May 22.-On a green
knoll in front of the old Lee Mansion,
in Arlington cemetery, overlooking
the Potomac and the Capital, a me-
mortal was unveiled. today to Major
Pierce Charles L'Enfant, the French
engineer, to whose prophetic vision
Washington owes its broad avenues.
President Taft, Ambassador Jusser-

New York, spoke in eulogy of Major
L'Enfant.

teen Presuyteries have overturned the
assembly on rhe "elect infant caluse,
and the committee on bills and over
lures, to which they were referred,
made the following report which was
adopted:
"We have examined the overtures
and find them fifteen in number. OF
these fifteen, all wish the assembly
to reject the overture sent down to
the Presbyteries by the last assembly,
and all fifteen ask that some other
form of phraseology be used, and vot-

"Ten of the number suggest the fol-

as follows:

The man rose from his seat at the
foot of the bunk and, with restless
strides, began pacing back and forth
in the narrow limits of the little hut.
The girl lay still, but her eyes follow
ed him Her thoughts were keeping
step with his.

And yet, that's not exactly the

LAWYERS FEES IN GERMANY
They Are Fixed by Law and the At
torney Can Charge Neither
More Nor Less.

Lawyers in Germany cannot adver-
tfse, and their fees are fixed by law,
according to Dr. Hermann Haeussler,
rechtsanwalt, Of Berlin, Germany, who
is at the New Willard. A rechtsanwalt
is an attorney at law and counselor
combined.
THE German law fixes the exact
fees which a German attorney has to
claim for all kinds of professional
work, and the rechtsanwalt can charge
neither more nor less. These fees are
fixed whether the cases are criminal or
come under the civil code. The amount
depends exclusively on the value OF
the object of contention or the charac-
ter of the crime. 1t is an old, though
still unfulflled, wish of German law
yers to have a new fixed list of fees,
not made after the old low standard
of the year 1878, but with considera-
ton to the changes-numerous and de-
cided-which have taken place since
that year.
The rechtsanwalt can never be a
business man, as may the lawyer In
the United States. The practice OF the
law is not considered a calling or pro-
fession. but is essentially public Of
fee.
According to the code Of 1878, a
lawyer is charged with certain public
duties. He is obliged to have his resi-
dence in the town or district whence
appointed. Further, he must conduct
himself in and out Of Office in :. man.

At the sound of it, he drew himself
up, towering, before her, and, so, be-
came visible to her-a monstrous,
blurred, uncertain shape.
And she cried out; this time in ter
Tor. Then, before he could spring
upon her and kill her with his hands,
as his british instinct of rage urged
him to do, he started back suddenly,
and himself cried out!
For faint circle of light, waving,
wandering. mccarthy, was shining
straight down upon both of them
through the fog-out of the sky Itself.
Looking up, he saw overhead a
single. great luminous eye, and in the
reflection of it's own light upon the
ice, very family, the fabric of out
stretched wings.
Then from up there, overhead, he
heard a voice-a quiet voice, I'm
here" it said. Don't be afraid

AS he did so, he heard ragged vol
ley of shots from the direction of the
Aurora. This sound of plain human
fighting, which he understood and did
not fear, helped restore TO equilibrium
his mind. which a moment before had
been tOttering to absolute destruction.
Once he could get back to his boat
and feel the oars under his hands

himself. He knew, at least, that no
must have done so, when, rous.nS
with start and springing to his feet,
he saw a ray of sunshine splashed
golden upon the opposite wall of the
hut. 1t must have been light for
hours.
Very silently, very cautiously he I'M
barred the door and pulled it open, Be-
fore opening the outer door, he drew
his revolver and spun its cylinder I'M
derneath his thumb-nail. If the re-
pulsed party from the Walrus were
camped near by, it would be we'll to
be cautious before accommodating.
He pulled the outer door a little way
open and glance slantwise up the
beach. The brilliant light dazzled him
and made it hard to see; but appar-
entity there was no one there. Step
ping outside, he turned his gaze in
land, along the foot of the cliff. His
mind was entirely preOccupied with
the danger of a sudden rush of enc
mics from near at hand.
That is how it happened that, for
quite a minute after he opened the
door and stepped outside, he did not
cast a single glance seaward. He
did not look in that direction, until
he saw that Jeanne, awakened by the
daylight in the hut, was standing in
the doorway. Her own eyes, puzzled,
incredulous. only half awake, were
gazing out to sea. The expression he
saw in her face made him turn, sud
denly, and look.
