the doorway that led toward the back of the house.
 Jane followed and found herself in the kitchen. At the first glance around the room 1t might have been the most ordi- nary sort of kitchen, with the usual ar- ray of pots and pans, sink and stove, but a. closer inspection showed that it was peculiar in many ways.
 There was no stove, for one thing, only an open fireplace, the mantel of which was several feet above Janes head. The hearth was deeper than any hearth she had ever seen, and after a moment she realized that it was a passage way, ter minating in an iron-bound door.
 You see," Marshall exclaimed, point ing at this exit, q was right; he did have a means of escape. If we should open the door we would find ourselves out onsthe street, or I miss my guess There is no use in looking further, Miss Brown. By this time Crawford is miles away from here, as safe as though I never existed. I must take you home.
 Or better still, we should hurry on to the hotel and meet Mortimer. I had lost track of that appointment in the ex- citement of finding Crawford. Had you thought of it?''
 "No," Jane confessed. q forgot all about it. I wondered if he is still wait ing for us?"
 "If he was ever there at all" Mar shall answered. q am beginning to be- lieve that it was a fake message,
 'fBut didn't you recognize his yoice?" the girl exclaimed. "I thought you knew him when you talked to him over the telephone"
 "I thought I did,, Marshall said slow Iy. But now-well, I don't even trust my own ears. It may have been him, 1t may have been one of Crawfords men. From the very beginning it may have been plan to get us up here. 1 don't really know waht he has gained. Cooper is murdered-dead, without his evidence

No. 1l0.
 You mean that you will never catch this man Crawford?" Jane asked.
 Marshall nodded. Yes, he returned. Crawford was the man who had Cooper arrested I got him free, but Cooper didn't tell me that he had ever seen Craw- ford before. If 1 had known that-but still maybe it wouldn't have done any good. I set myself the task of bringing Crawford to justice. Other men, and clever men, too, have tried the same thing-they have failed as I have failed. suppose I was asking too much
 His voice was heavy, as though the vital force of life had been 'sapped from the man and he shook his head, signing deeply.
 But maybe Crawford is still in this house?" Jane exclaimed. He must be here. This she pointed at Cooper 8 body-"could only have happened few minutes before we came down into this room. It happened while we were still upstairs. How could Crawford get out?'
 T don't know" Marshall answered list lessly "But I am sure of one thing He did get out. I know that as well as though I had watched him go. . "But we might look" Jane insisted. 'There can be no harm in trying. How do you know but he might have gone upstairs ?"
 ou have the hope or youth, MAT shall laughed sadly, a tinge of bitter ness creeping into his voice. And you do not know this man Crawford as well as do. He had some means of escape. He would no more have led us into. this hplace, to find what we have found and not had means of escape than we would have thought of trying to fly across the moon. But come, we will look. am curious to see what kind of house he kept"

To Spend Money BY Billions.

TIL annual expenditures for govern
ment purposes during the next fiscal
wear, according 70 the estimates sub
mittcd by Carter Glass, the retiring
Secretary of the Treasury-be has been
appointed United States Senator from
Virginia, TO succeed the late Senator
Martin-will approximate five billion
dollars. The exact total Of his estimates
(, is 81. .s65. .41O, ,03I.62. With such an cnor-
nous total one wonders at the apparent
exactitude shown by final sixty-two cents
But the necessity for huge approprIa-
tions-and they will be huge in the end,
despite the purpose Of the Republican
Congress to annoy the administration
bv cutting down the estimates ferociously
may be realized from the single item
for interest on the national debt, s1,Oi7.-
100000, which alono is greater than the
entire appropriations made in any ono
wear BY any previous Congress n times
Of peace.
This is q billion-doIlar country. re-
Joined the late Speaker Reed to a charge
IF extravagance made against a Congress
which had appropriated more than q
billion dollars. Now it is rapidly getting
on towards a fve-bilion dollar country.
However, we will be able to get along on

Costly Times for Newspapers.

Publishers oi daily newspapers through
out the country are facing an unparalleled
situation today, and one which offers no
promise Of relief, IN the near future at
least With an estimated shortage Of
200 900 tons OF ncwsprint this year, and
4 constantly increasing consumption
brought about by the tremendous increase
in the volume Of newspaper advertising,
one naturally wonders what the outcC me
will be. This much is certain: Daily
papers must reduce the size Of their
editions. and-if they are to exist-musf
at the same time increase advertising and
subscription rates There IS no other
way out.
To reduce the size Of the papers means
less space gwen 70 advertising and more
careful editing Of the news Incidentally,
it also means closing The door to all kinds
Of free publicity with which the news
papers Of today are flooded. More
intensive editing VIII mean better news
papers; OF that there Is not the least
doubt
Newspapers, like individuals, can dc
many things not thought OF before, when
forced to by stress OF circumstances, and
we like to think that out Of the present
situation the newspaper will emerge
stronger and better IN every way

the building itself il the work Of Henry
Bacon. the famous architect. Mr.. Bacon
states hat the building IS syrnboilcal of
the growth of the American republic since
Ijncon's time, in that there are thirty
six columns which stand for the thlrty-5lx
States which made up the union IN Lin
coins time, and forty-eight festoon9 above
the columns. which stand for the present
aggregation of States. Originally Mr.
Bacon planned to have thirteen OF some
thing in order 10 symbolic the original
thirteen States, but this idea vas aban-
doned
Aside from this beautiful numerical
symbolism and the vIsagc Of Lincoln,
there is nothing distinctively American
about the building. II is primarily Greek
in design. 1t looks like q cross between
the Parthenon at Athens Cudgng by the
picture postaIs thereof and the temple Of
Solomon as described IN the Bible. II IS
unlike any other memorial which modern
men have raised TO their leaders. In
stead. il is an imitation OF temples which
the great pagans built to their gods. 1t
is intended to express worship and reyer-
pnce. It is tn serve no utIlItarian ptir-
nose whatever There is nothing useful
in the building except couple OF lava
tories
The effort. and the result, hrs been,
not IN give us a better understanding or q
clearer perception of Lincoln the man, but
20 defy him, or at least To convert him
into q legendary hero, like King Arthur,
or Santa Claus The thing inspires not
sympathy for a strong man be8et by many
troubles, hut the awe which we associate
with the supernni 1t docs not bring us
closer Ia Lincoln, but removes him to
celestial heights.
This is IN accordance with the best
American traditions We make fun Of
our great men while they live. and gods Of
them after they are dead. We never
understand them. The Washington Of
the high school histories is too perfect
for human sympathy You have to dig
into little known documents TO discover
that he was Judge Of good liquor and
bet on cock fights. In like manner the
BENJAMIN Franklin that We all know about

virtuous 10 live, and only few students arc
aware that he was bold bad fellow among
the girls, and the greatest Of al American
hypocrites.

Just Folks
By Edgar A. Guest.
LIES HARDEST TASK.

It is no easy task to be
A little fellows dotinR dad;
Sometimes the duty seems to me
The biggest Job man ever had.
To cut away mountain ridge
Or sweep river from it's bed
Or close chasm with bridge
On which q man may safely tread,
Are works stupendous, but | hold
That these the skillful mind can plan;
But nc must needs be wise to mold
4 little boy into man.
The engineer can calculate
Precisely what his steel will bear,
The builder knows the very weight
That rests upon biz; girders there.
But who can read the wrong from right
And sift the good from all the bad
So that man OF truth and might
Shall blossom from a little lad?
One careless word or thoughtlcss deed
Which he NAV chance to hear or sec
Nav in the future be the seed
OF ruin and its misery.
There is so much that he must learn
So many things that he must know.
At every little bend and turn
He must be taught the way TO go.
We cannot nicely calculate
The weight that he is fit TO bear
Or guess what cruel storms ot fate
Shall change his gIadness To despair.
With all that we can know aud see,
The biggest task mans ever had
Since life began, has been to be
The father OF . little lad.
