and the next there was court eight
feet in width, running to the dividing
wall between the bank property and

court George had key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement-door.
But he suddenly paused. To his
amazement he saw just below the
library curtain a thin measure OF
light. Light! Some one in the house!
He did the most sensible thing pos
sibIe: he stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
one who had no earthly or heavenly
business there! Near the window
stood a tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
a great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed.
Here was the end of the puzzle. The
riddle of the United Romance and Ad-
venture Company was solved. At last
he understood why Mrs. Chedsoye
had sought him, why Ryanne had kid
mapped him. But for his continuing
his journey upon the German-Lloyd

week too late; he would have missed

The Commissioners pointed out that
while the Martin bill (the same as the
Carlin BILL which was before the House
District Committee last Friday ls needed
to make up the deficit, 1t should not in
terfere with legislation on the more
elaborate plan looking to the establish

In discussing the latter measure the
Commissioners called attention to the
fact that policemen in washington are
divided into three classes, with salaries
ranging from 500 to q 200 a year. At
the present time all members OF the force
pay fiat rate Of 81 a month. This is a

suggested that a percentage basis TO be
