NEW YORK MAN PLEASED
WITH OUTLOOK AT MILLERsT.

That investments in Dallas realty
appears attractive to outside people
was emphasized this week when f
L. May, of New York, purchased
four lots in Millerst and has taken
an option on an entire block. Mr.
Nav came to the Coast looking for
investments and inspected suburban
propertv in Portland and several
beach propositions, then came to
Dallas attracted by the advertising
of the Dallas Development company
and the Federal Trust company. he
was so favorably impressed with
the outlook that he lost no time IN
investing as above stated. The com
panv has also disposed of a number
of lots to local people.
In connection with Millerst, the
company desires to say to local car
penters and builders that they VIII
learn something to their advantage
bv consulting the cOmpanys repre-
sentatives at the Hotel Gail.
Pleased Wit Guthrie.
A company of Minneapolis men
who were in Dallas during the week
have invested in Guthrie Acres and
express themselves as pleased with
their buy. After an inspection OF
other propositions they declared that
Gntbrie Acres offered the most at
traetive opportunity for investment
of any acre property they had seen.
All Of which serves to show that
Dallas realty Is attracting the at
tention of people outside the elty
who are quick to realize the adVan-
tageous opportunities it offers for
Investments and future Development

CHAPTER XVI.
His Sister Confessor,

The death of McNish was instan-
taneous. Soy, with bullet in his alb
domen, fingered for three days. Dur
ing that time Miss Clement became
his sister confessor. and so there
drifted into our possession a host of
facts which otherwise we might never
have learned. Strange. uncanny crea-
ture that he was, he seemed to re-
pose the utmost confidence in the
gray, sweet-faced missionary, and fair

tected Those that he believed to
have played him false, she protected

to him she was content to resign the

( fact OF course, the situation was prac-
lcally the reverse: We desired Soy to

stress of the encounter to admit his
own identity. The Eurasian, however,
having been thus misinformed, was at
distinct disadvantage. So, when /
drew back the door, and he was push
ed forward into the room, instead OF
seeking. he imagined himself sought,
and with bowed head and eyes on the
floor, stood shrinkingly i'll at ease.
10 this misunderstanding is proba-
bly, attributable all that followed. Had
Soy known that McNish was regard
ed, equally with himself. as an ag-
gressor. he might have controlled his
outbreak and permitted the law to
Wreak its tardy justice. But Soy did
not know. and the tide of events met
sudden change
It is, indeed, scarcely conceivable,
how rapidly it was all enacted For
just moment the weazened figure
stood still. while behind him crowded
the rest Of us-the three detectives,

! saw McNish struggle for an in
slant TO maintain his pose of indiffer-
ence. and then | saw hts cheeks
blaneh. and his little eyes widen in
craven terror as he recognized the
shabby, silent thing before him His
lips parted, his barred teeth clicked
together, and his hands. like talons,

at his supposed accuser, and l saw
him CULVER into steel. 1t was as
though an electric bolt had shot
through his shrinking frame and limp
limbs. He seemed to grow out of him

with stiffened neck and lifted head.
To describe with any degree of ac-
curacy what ensued, l cannot. l
know only that McNish rose cum
brously to his feet only to fall back
again beneath the pouncing spring of
the Eurasian. Then followed a pistol
shot, muff1ed, yet sounding lethally
loud against the grim silence of the
chamber; and, as with one accord We
leaped forward, l saw Soy roll over in
a spasm of contortions, and McNish,

pistol pressed TO his own temple, just

bers Of the house, who is serving his

ing up Sixteenth (now called the ave.
nue. of the Presidents) he spied the
palatial home Of Franklin MacVeagh,
former secretary of the treasury. The
location just suited Decker. The ex.
terror of the building indicated that
the ceilings were high and the rooms
spacious.
Leaving his automobile at the curb,
the congressman approached the en-
trance to the MacVeagh home. His
first surprise came when he found the
door locked. In response to his ring
q uniformed butler opened the door
and asked what was wanted. Decker
announced blandly that he would like
to lease an apartment in the building.
The butler nearly collapsed. After
recovering his breath he said, with a
great show Of indignation:

CHURCH FEELS THE CHANGE
New Administrations Always Have De-
pressing Effect on Washington
Congregations and Others. -

Washington feels the change Of ad-
ministration now and then in numer-
GUS little ways. The pastor of
prosperous church, for example, Is
bemoaning the loss Of 60 families
from his congregation in the last
six months, all families of the Taft
administration. Like a good, indus
trious shepherd, this man is hustling
to gain from some other quarter what
he has lost because the country voted
the Republicans out and the Demo
Gratis In. This particular instance
does not mean the incoming admins
tratfon Is less churchly. For every
official family that has departed an
other official family has arrived, and
there are probably GO new official
families attending church somewhere
else in the federal city.
But such things shake up the life
OF Washington. The grocer loses
customers, and must see to 1t that
he gains others. There were many
longtime officeholders here under the
Republican regime. Duration of ten
ure had encouraged them to rent or
buy homes. Departing they vacated
their residences. The newcomers are
inclined to be more timid about set
Ting down. A period of hotel life
or residence in an apartment Is the
rule with them. Consequently 1t
seems as though there were more va
cant residence in the fashionable
northeast this autumn than before
In very long time
AS a result of this and other like
conditions Washington feels a de-
preston. 1t may be a year before
the city resumes it's wonted prosper
ity. The old gibe about hotel and
boarding house keepers getting all
the money congress and other Off.
cials have to spend was true 80 years
ago, but it is not now. The DISPOSE.
ton in normal times is for the folk
from away to settle down here in
their own homes and live as house.
holders. The extra session Of con.
,gress lasting all summer and all the
autumn has contributed something to
the general prosperity Of. local folk,
but not overmuch. Hotels have got
ten most of the money.
