agree with yon, sir" said
Lcpine, and took his leave.
The Cafe des Voyagenrs was
crowded when he reached it, and
he had some difficulty IN finding
4 seat. The marines who had been
searching the wreck had, at last,
been released from duty, and had,
with one accord fastened ashore
to refresh themselves at the ex-
pense OF populace eager to listen
70 every detail. The cafe hnmmed
with talk; weird and revolving
stories of the search were told
with gilsto the completeness of
the destruction was described the
survivors dwelt upon their sensa-
tons at the moment Of the ex-
p%losion; the heroism of the res
cuers was not forgotten; but, and
Lepine noted this with little sigh
OF relief, nowhere was there an
intimation that the disaster was
other than an accident.
He sat there for half an hour,
listening to all this, and, then, as
Crochard made no sign, he sum
monel the head waiter and re-
quested a word with the proprie-
tor. With a nod, as Of one who
expected the request, the man
turned and again led the way to
the door at the rear Of the room.
I'm there, SIR he said, and
closed it when Lepine had entered.
A single candle burned on the
table in the center Of the little
room, and beyond it sat a man. At
the first glance, in the semidark-
ness, Lepine fancied it was Gro
chard; then he saw that this man
was slighter, that his face was
bloodless, and that he was staring
with hunted eyes.
With q little start of surprise,
he looked again then he sat down.

Lepine, quietly.

He handed Lcn;sse a note. The
latter broke the sal, held it to the
light and read earefully:

CHECKMATE.
cit is evident that this affair
was not lightly arranged, said
NJ. Delcasse, and ran his fingers
nervously through his hair.
Lepine nodded gloomily.
you may well say SOP he
agreed.
The two sat together in Delcas-
se's room, and Lepine had just
finished his report. Evening was
falling, and the room was growing
dark, but neither desired a light.
Everything has been thought
of and provided for, said the Pre-
fleet, at last, even to the telegram
which gave an excuse for this
man's'abrupt departure Perhaps
the other kilograms were also in
tended to mislead us-just as they
did pislead me-to convince us
that those other men were only or
binary travellers. They must have
foreseen that the police would in
vestigate the presence Of every
stranger in Toulon. 1t was care
less to send both kilograms from
Brussels, but coincidence so
small might easily be overlooked.
IN one point only was there an
oyersight-they did not foresee
THAT we might trace them by
means Of the money. There is Our
hope. Sooner or later, the man
with the white hair will spend
another Of his 100 franc notes.
There is q certain, justice in it,
he added, .sthat he should be be-

Lepine recognized the cogency

Lepine recognized the cogency
of this reasoning and nodded.
Continue, he said.
She was a dark, slim girl, of
about 20. They gave me no trou-
bic. She scarcely left the house
except for the marketing. But her
father was away a great deal"
Did he bring much haggage9"
Two pieces of hand baggage,
sur, and that box yonder by the
window. The box vas very heavy
almost as If filled with iron
and he had great difficulty in get
ting it up the stairs, even with the
assistance of the truckman.'

he was here?a
mo, sir; / entered neither of
the rooms. My rnle is never to in
terfere in the affairs Of my ten
ants-they do not like it. But on
one occasion, as / passed the door,
I hard him at work on his inven-
ton"
Heard him, you sayi"
Yes, sir; there was a deep
humming noise as Of 3 huge top,
or perhaps a motor. It occurred
TO me that It was q flying machine
which he was inventing. Then, on
Sunday, came a telegram
a telegrami"
Yes, sir;I brought it up my
self. Heread itand his face grew
very grave. He informed me that
he would be compelled to depart
next day-that his sister was dy-
ing. But he assured me that he
would return as soon as possible
to continue his experiments, and
that was to hold the apartment
for hm-at least until the month
Tor which he had paid had ex-
pred.
And he did departi ss

morning e called a cab,.and as

The box, as you see, remains
against his return, also his appara-
tus and he indicated the bat
teries.

Says Indigestion comes from
an excess of hydrochloric
acid.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and Indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not. as most folks be-
lieye. from a lack OF digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
tion. then our meals sour like gar
bage in a can, forming acrid fluids
and gases which initiate the stomach
like a toy balloon. We then get that

He tells Us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while IL is
effervescing. and furthermore, to con-
tinue this for one week. While relief
follows the first dose, il is important
to neutralize the acidity. remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver

SCANNING 100000 CLAIMS
Revenue Bureau Working on Unused
Tax Stamp Cases.

The claims division OF the Interal
Revenue Bureau has pending ap-
proximately 100000 claims for re
demption Of unused documentary, or
war tax, stamps. These claims aver
age S54 each, and total $5,4OO. 900.
This is in addition to thousands of
dollars in excess payments OF taxes
that must be refunded. Work on
these claims is tied up by the failure
OF the deficiency bill.
The division is settling documen-
tary stamp claims at the rate Of 5000
= month. 1t was given no additional
clerical help because of the flood OF
stamp claims that poured in follow
ing enactment OF the revenue bill last
September. Most firms and individ
uals required to affix stamps had
stocks on hand. and promptly turned
them in with claims for reimburse
ment. These claims will not be dis
posed OF before next October.

HILL. Only a nominal consideration
appeared in the deed.
The Worthington property at
Ihirty-fourth and Reservoir streets
in Georgetown. estimated as worth
$4,000, changed owners again this
week. Murray A. Cobb. who took
the property in a trade few weeks
ago. conveyed it to Helen A de S.
Canavarro. The deed does not state
the price
The Seventh Day Adventists took
title to the property at sixth and N
streets northwest. The land belonged
to the First Reformed Church. The
consideration was $4,000.
POwhatan Debt Refunded.
The principal financial transaction
of the week had to do with the re-
funding of the debt on the Powhatan
Hotel property. at Eighteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest
The company conveyed the property
to the Continental Trust Company and
Gibbs l.. Baker, trustees, to secure a
debt of S325.OOO to the Fidelity Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company. A sec
ond trust was placed on the property
to secure an issue of bonds aggregat-
ing S30O,OOO.
This transaction aided materially
in swelling the loans OF the week be-
yond the 81 100000 mark. The exact
figures in the loans OF the last five
days were $1,OS3, 1894. This sum was
borrowed on the security OF 259 lots
at an average interest rate of 5.S per
cent.
Straight loans predominated, with
an aRPreRate of SSp7 I5b % The sum
of all the notes given for deferred
purchase money was S12S, ,S67.9
Building associations advanced to
members S57,150.

premacy as a basis for loan security,
being pledged for a total OF $751;

bered to the extent of S2I9.946.99. The

This was the advice given students
OF Business High School by Roy i.

partment- of the Munsey Trust Com
pany. and president of Washington
Chapter of the American Institute OF
Banking, in an address yesterday
afternoon on Thrift"
Mr.. Neuhauser emphasized the i'm
portance of paying cash for housAhld
supplies "If everybody paid cash,
he said. everyone would get more for
their money. for cash dealing would
eliminate the losses resulting to the
merchants at present from bad &C
counts. and would enable them to

REALTY DEALSLAG
DURING INAUGURAL
Brokers Handicapped by Re-
duction of Working Days and
Demands on Time.

Realty trading in the opening days
OF March suffered from the inaugural
festivities. Not only were the brok-
ers handicapped by the reduction of
the working days of the week by rea-
son of Mondays holiday. but the de-
mands made on their time in connec-
tion with the closing preparations
for inaugural day initiated against
the completion OF deals which were
pending.
As a result only 100 sales were re-
ported during the week. This is a
falling off of forty-four deals from
the activity of the preceding week.
1t is interesting to note, however.
that the last Weeks trading exceeded
by four deals the activity of the week
in which occurred the first inaugura-
tion of President Wilson In March,
1918. Included in the weeks busi-
ness were 169 lots and parcels of real
estate. In the corresponding period
of 1916. there were reported 143 sales.
Thursday was the busiest day of the
week, with twenty-six sales to its
" sd" -hNt
deals completed and twenty-four
trades were effected on Tuesday. On
the halt-holiday of Saturday twenty
sales were closed Yesterday made
the poorest showing of the week, with
only fourteen deals.
Outlying Suburbs Sighted
The outlying suburbs had only a
slight call on the weeks trading,
being the scene of the transfer OF
ffty-fve parcels, while the northwest
ranked second with forty-nine lots
conveyed. There were twenty-four
lots sold in the near-urban district:
twenty in the Southeast, and twelve in
the Northeast. Nine lots changed
owners in Southwest Washington.
Two residences on Sixteenth street
featured the selling of the week
