you're Mr.. Hamilton, aren't YOU
he gasped. oh, come quick, sir! Mr..
Ferrand's had a stroke or something,
and | was just running to get help.
You don't remember me, guess. I'm
Mr.. Ferrand's new office-boy, frankie
Allen. You was in to see him about
ten days ago. don't you remember
well, as told you, 'Nita dearest,
old Mr.. Ferrand was one Of my faith
er's best friends His offices were in
the Colossus Building, and had been
in to see him about ten days before
SO in spite of Mr. Blaines warning,
was perfectly unsuspecting. OF course,
didn't remember his office-boy from
Adam, but that fact never occurred to
me, then. went right along with the
boy, and he talked so volubly that l
didn't notice we had gotten into the
wrong elevator-the express-until it's
first stop, seven floors above Mr.. Fer
rand's. They must have staged the
whole thing pretty well-Carlis and
Paddington and their crew-for when
stepped out of the express elevator
there was no one in sight that ] re-
member but the boy who was with me-
pressed the button of the local, which
was just beside the express-there was
buzz and whirring hum as if the ele-
vator had assembled, and the door
opened. AS stepped over it's TIRES
hold, / felt a violent blow and terrific
pain on the back of my head, and
seemed to fall into limitless space.
That was all knew until / woke up
in tha hocpif al whore Mr. Plaino had
taken me after discovering and rescu-
ing me, to see your dear face bending
over mine!"
Zone of Paddington's men was wait
ing and hit you on the head with win
dow-pole, as you stepped into the open
elevator shaft" Blaine supplemented.
1t was all plant, of course. You only
fell to the roof of the elevator, which
was on level with the floor below.
There they carried you into the office
of fake company, kept you until clos
ing time, and got you out of the build
ing as drunkard, conveying you to
Mac Alarney's retreat in his own ma
chine Nobody employed in the build
ing was in their pay but the elevator
man, and he's got his, along with the
rest! Paddington's scheme wasn't
bad; if he'd only been on the square,
he might have made a very brilliant
detective!"
"How terrible his death was!" Anita
shuddered. "And how unexplainable!
No one ever found out who stabbed
him, there in the park, did they?"
Blaine did not reply. He knew that
on the day following the discovery of

that were beneficial to them while the people
have been forced to pay the bills.
Mr.. Goodrich hits the nail on the head and ex-
presses the sentiment found in Richmond when
he says:
'It was not intended by the law to set up a
court with all of it's rules of procedure but to set
up board Of inquiry with power to set on foot
an investigation on its own motion. Appeals
were provided in order to protect the rights of
both the utilities and the people served. The
spirit of the law contemplates informality and
simplicity. Any ten people or even a civic organ
ization are supposed to be able to present griev-
ances to the commission. Yet not only has the
commission been made up largely of politicians,
but also of lawyers trained in the atmosphere of
court and some of them unable to grasp the idea
Of informal determination of economic and social
questions outside the established judiciary. This
is law suit said the chairman of the commits
sion in recent hearing.
"The result has been that the people served by
the utilities, unorganized and unfinanced as COM
pared with the companies, find themselves pretty
much in the same position as before-compelled
at large expense to employ lawyers and to become
involved in all the mazes of a lawsuit
The conclusion reached by Mr.. Goodrich
receives the appreciation of every thoughtful
man in Richmond. He says:
II want everyone to understand clearly that
if am elected governor, we are going to have a
public service commission in touch with the best
thought of the day and the best social spirit of
the times. In no department of the states serv-
ice is it so important that the men appointed
should be possessed of the broadest public view
in full sympathy with the social spirit and intent
of the law or whose character will carry convic-
tion of the highest public service, free from any
influence or purpose other than the public well
fare"

the murdered man, one Franchette Du-
rand, otherwise Fifine Dechaussee, had
sailed for Havre on the Inflated La
Tourette, which had gone to the bot
tom in mid-ocean, with all on board.
He knew also that an hour before the
French girls last tragic interview with
Paddington, she had discovered the
existence of his wife, for he himself
had seen to it that the knowledge was
impaired to her. Further than that,
he preferred not to conjecture. The
Madonna-faced girl had taken her
secret with her to her swiftly retribu-
tive grave in the deep.
Blaine rose, somewhat reluctantly.
Work called him, and yet he loved to
be near them in the rose-tinted high
noon of their happiness.
'I'll be on hand tomorrow, indeed
will" he promised heartily, in re-
Spouse to their eager request.
Tomorrow! Just think" Anita
buried her glowing face in her lovers
shoulder for an instant, and then look
ed up with misty eyes. 'Just think,

Monday before the federal board OF

income for the company of $40 an
