on beyond, there where the guns
were booming, where the flags were
flying and the bands were playing,
the Great Atlantic fleet, safely,
triumphantly, was sailing through
the narrows. out to the freedom Of
the open sea!
Harrison Grant watched happily
for moment, then turned to make
his way back through the tunnel and
to the Interrogation OF the captured
spy. It was then that he noticed
that his brow was covered with a
cold perspiration, that his collar was

Of the reticule in his pocket. Won

He pulled open the bag. He stared
a moment at the initials of the card
case which lay within. then opened
it feverishly. The wondering express
sion OF his eyes changed to grimness.
His lips resolved themselves into a
straight line. Slowly they repeated
the name on the card:
Miss Dixie Mason!"
The battleships in the distance
seemed to fade. The sound of the
sirens, the booming guns, all drifted
into nothingness. Duly, monoton-
ously. the lips OF Harrison Grant
framed the words:
"Diie Mason! So she was the one!
Dixie Mason-a spy!"

suading the young women employe
in her charge to seek lodgings in the
newer portions of the city largely
populated by married couples who are
buying homes, found that the rooms
in these sections were comfortable and
prices by no means high.
Few rooms in Washington are offer
ed with board, though many families
who take dodgers, especially those
whose homes are some distance from
the heart of the city, are willing to
furnish breakfast.
The notion that prices for living in
Washington would be comparable to
those in other cities of the same size
is dispelled by a knowledge of the
elements of it's population and its
unique position among American cities
Skilled labor was cheap and plentiful,
but owing to the exodus of large num-
bers of the negroes to the munitions
towns, it is now both scarce and high.
The fact that the city has always
had a floating population which is
very large in proportion to it's actual
inhabitants also complexities its prob
lem. This transient population in
cluded not only the thousands of per.
sons who were temporarily in the
city to transact business with con-
gress, the department and the su-
preme court, but armies of tourists
who taxed the hotels to their capaci-
ties.

WRECK OF FARALLON
RECALLED BY SURVIVOR

Eight years ago tomorrow, says the
Seward Gateway of February 4, the
steamer Victoria came into the har-
Dor having the survivors of the
wrecked steamer Farallon aboard. For
thirty days the survivors of the wreck
had been camped on a rocky shelf
on the west coast OF Kodiak island,
waiting for some steamer to pick them
up. During all this time, with the ex.
ception of one day, the men had been
experiencing the most bitter of
weather.
This morning John +. Thwaites was
found inteutly looking at sarge pic
ture hanging over one of the doors
at Sexton & Thwaites The picture
was of the FaraTIon, incased in ice five
feet thick, resting on the rocky shore
where she struck Mr. Thwaites was
the mail clerk on the Farallon and he
said:
THAT was a fearful thirty-day pc
rfod through which we passed. Our
shelter place was swept by gales con-
tinuaIly, and none of us left except
t osecure driftwood to keep us warm.
The SNOW fell so thickly that one
would have become lost had he strayed
thirty feet away from sight. Nothing
was more cheerful than the sight of
the Victoria, one of the three boats
sent out to locate US"
Captain Hunter, now on the North
western, was also on the Farallon
when the wreck occurred.

Bayles, of the firm of that name, tele-
phoned the fire stationed to find out
where the blaze was and the firemen
who knew no more than they thought
his place was in flames and set out.
Bayles ran out of his store and see
ing the firemen rushing into his place
ran back to investigate When the
firemen found no blaze there they de-
cided to telephone to the commission
department and finally solved the mys-
terry.
