Against a rug of Oriental mating hung a collection of savage weapons. The woman watched him with cool unconcern. He seemed to be search ing rapidly with his eyes for some thing. He laid his hand upon long thin dagger. Here and there it's blade had rusted to blackness. but it's edge was deadly keen. He jabbed the point of it into his plotting pad. It curled over lithely, as Ferrara does. Then he glanced at the woman beside the table His eyes were glittering with the bloodthirsty passions of the primi- tive man.
 Zilla Paget lifted a lorgnette which hung at her wrist by a jeweled chain. She clicked it open, raised it to her eyes-and laughed.
 T wonder she murmured, eff you realize how ridiculous you look. You are too white-livered to do such a thing as that. Besides," she glanced about the sunlit room, where could you hide the body?"
 Enoch tossed the blade upon his desk and began to walk up and down the floor. He rolled his handkerchief into a hard ball and dabbed with it continually at his moist forehead The woman sat perfectly still. She turned to fold the sheets of paper. then she laid one hand upon them and lay back gracefully in her chair.

 She shrugged her shoulders. 'T have no intention of selling it.,'

BASEBALL SUITS ARE
NOW READY FOR BOYS
Youngsters Who Won Paid-in.
Advance Subscriptions Be-
ing Rewarded.
By THE PRIZE EDITOR.

Baseball suits and all other valuable
prizes earned are now ready. Here is
something that will interest the boys.
something still in season and not too
late. The Prize Editor has made ar
rangements to get the best baseball uni
form suits and outfits. and enough to
supply the demands of all the junior
and professional teams in Washington
and suburbs within the radius of TWEEN
ty miles.
l am going to tell you how easy it is
going to be for all to be supplied with
baseball suits. Here is the proposition:
All one has to do is to get 80 new paid
in-advance subscribers to The Times for
one month, and the entire set OF nine 80
suits will be given to you free. Just
think of IL. 1t averages sixteen new
subscribers to each one in your team.
You know what this means? 1t is just
a run around the block in your imme-
d1ate neighborhood, and the flannel
suits. choice Of ten different colors, are
yours.
Sewing machines and hair brushes arc
ready for the girls. and while the Prize
Editor was busy in getting prizes, he
also didn't forget the girls. Ten new
paid-in-advance subscriptions for one
month will win a camera. They are
just things one needs on summer vaca-
ton No matter where you go, there is
always something that will appeal TO
you. and a camera is the most useful
thing to have. The ones that The Times
has provided will take the newspaper
snapshot, one that seldom misses.
Come on. boys and girls, More sub
scription blanks are being printed and
will be ready for distribution tomorrow
morning. Come in or write, and we
will send them to you.

Falls Church Fare
Rate Is Sustained

Citizens of Falls Church. Va, lost
their fight against the Washington and
Virginia Railway Company. when the
Interstate Commerce Commission yes
terday sustained the present rates te-
tween the terminal at Twelfth and D
streets and Falls Church.
Attack was made by the complain
onts on the single-trip OF 19 Is cents,
the round trip of 1926, the fifty-two-
trip-monthly ticket of s6.17, and the
nty-five-trip-monthly ticket OF S3o4,
on the grounds the rates were unrea-
sonable.
The commission in its decision holds
that no discrimination exists. Compari-
sons with rates on the Mt. Vernon di-
vision OF the same road are presented
to show that If discrimination could be
alleged 1t would be against rather than
in favor OF the towns along the Mt.
Vernon line.
Lighter traffic on the Falls Church
division, which is less than "A per cent
of that over both divisions. IS given
as another reason for sustaining pres
ent rates. In addition, II is pointed
out, the Falls Church commuter has
the advantages Of using his ticket
either via Rosslyn or Arlington Jrnc-
ton, Va, which was admitted by coun-
sci for the complainants to be an ad-
vantage.
The complaint was filed March l, 1918,
and was argued before the commission
last February.
