Complete motorization of the depart
ment gives distribution such that, ''only
in the northern part of the city, where
no engines are nearer than three miles
and no chemical or ladder truck is
within four miles, is an increase in pro-
lection necessary" the engineers state.
But there are more companies than are
needed in some sections and, by moving
a number Of companies and redistributing
apparatus. ample protection would be
provided for all parts Of the city. Sta
lions 1, 6, Z, 13 and 81 are within 5000
feet of each other; Stations 2, 3, and
90 are within 400 feet of Station IS; and
Stations 8, 4, &c and 80 are within one
mile of Station II; the closing of Sta
tons 6, &c. II and 81, and distribut-
ing the men among other companies
would not detract from the general pro-
lection, but would improve it by in
creasing strength of remaining companies.
CONCENTRATION
NOT JUSTIFIED.
eThree of the four aerial ladder trucks
are located south of the cOngested value
district and within 5000 feet of each
other. Conditions do not warrant the
concentration of so much important ap-
paratus within such a small area, at the
expense of other parts Of the city.
I'm a number of instances ladder COM
panies are located in adjoining houses;
ordinarily a ladder company in each
alternate house will provide ample ladder
service"
Upon the proposal to establish an
engine and ladder company at Central
avenue and Fifty-Second street the re-
port comments: this is a little close TO
existing companies; a location farther
north would be better and would pro-
vide protection to Broad Ripple. when it
becomes a part of the city, or at present
under mutual aid agreement"
Speaking of a test Of equipment, both
new and old, made by the engineers, the
report says that in general the engines
ran we'll but one engine could not be
kept going at capacity because of de-
fective spark plugs and a gasket on the
automatic relief valve of Engine Is blew

practically all engines before proceeding
with the test, such as tightening or
changing the fan belt, adjusting the car
buretor. tightening down the cylinder
blocks, or changing circulating water
pipe and one suction coupling was de-
fective. The operators received instruc-
tions from the master mechanic or repre-
sentative of the manufacturers, and when
left to run the engines themselves showed
a general lack Of training in heavy run

The engineers found minor equipment

sary. They also found that new hose is

the undercurrent of his thoughts con.
stantly preoccupied with the riddle of
Leonora and Priscilla Maine.
So hes was relieved when the clock
struck twelve, and for once he en-
forced infiexibly his rule to see no
body after office hours but by appoint
| ment.
Alone, he tilted back his chair,
clasped hands behind his head, and
focused his gaze upon remote alb
straction. A look of pain lurked In
the clear and steady eyes of gray, dis
consolation in the set Of his firm, thin
Tipped mouth: the debacle of a love,
for many years the ruling motive of
his life, foreshadowed In his medita-
ton.
Not for an instant had he forgotten
| the confession of love for Mario i'm

more ponderable than a figure in a
dream. But now 1t appeared that like

the flesh; like Bielinsky, known to
and wanted by the policel;s like the

dick had been frequenting in search
of key to the riddle: like all these
folk, Mario was thing of flesh and
blood, and so perilous to all Fosdick's
hopes of happiness, and Priscilla, too.
For Mario, in love with If not al
ready married to Leonora, was lost to
her already. However heavily 1t might
cost her, Priscilla must resign herself
to remuneration. And then i.
Time would have to do the rest, with
its magical hands of healing and OBJ
liberation. In time Priscilla would
| forget and be healed, and would find
herself anew. And then another's turn
would come.
He had been patient now these
many years. he could be patient lit
tie longer And while he waited he
would be helping her; he who alone
could help her to forget. For her
dreams must cease, they must be
stopped by one means or another, so
that the figures of Mario and Leonora
might no longer haunt and torment
her. 1t could be done, they could be
stopped 1t was question of means
merely. Fosdlck pondered two alike
distasteful; drugs and hypnotism.
Sincerely Fosdlck believed he chose
the lesser evil when, taking pad of
blanks, he jotted down a formula for
sedative which he hoped might give
the girl nights of dreamless sleep
without harmful reaction.

summons took the prescription to be
filled, and at the same time announced

Charles Dickens lived i'm many
houses, and some of them were ugly.
But to him they were all homes. He
was happiest perhaps In Devonshire
Terrace, London, and at GadshilI Place
tanned with furious energy.
He had to force himself to begin n
novel, for the work of starting was IA
verifable torment to hini- But once
the first chapter WINS finished he wrote
with sheer delight. He would sit at
his desk for hours, living with his
characters as his pen went back and
forth across the white paper. After
these arduous c0nfinements he found
relaxation In walking, prowling for
hours through London streets or beat
fng his way against the flashing winds
along the Kentish coast.
He loved his homes and he loved
England, but he also loved to travel.
He found Out-of-the-way and quaint
villages i'm England, where he settle
for weeks at time, but he often ran
across the channel to the continent
and sometimes made long stays "a
Paris, Switzerland and Italy. Twice he
sourneyed far In the United States, In
days when luxury In travel was hardly
known and when only those who really
loved new scenes undertook such hard
ships.
Much as he enjoyed these restless
Fittings to other lands and his pro-
ionged lingerings I'm such favored
places as Genoa or Lausanne, he was
ever eager to be back i'm England.

lost hold of the pistol. Her Ineffective
fingers tore at wrists of steel.
A gust of hot air rose round her
head. She saw Reds face fitfully IL
lumined by blush glare. The glass
reservoir of the lamp had broken, and
the oil, spreading upon the rug, had
caught fire of the fiickering wick. She
redoubled her efforts, but the pressure
upon her windpipe was cruel beyond
description, her brain was reellng, so
was all the world. Darkness was
fast closing In upon her like black
fog.
Then something happened, some
thing miraculous interviewed. TOO

scious only of the freedom Of her
throat, she was caught up and carried,

Set upon her feet, she found herself
in the hall, at the head of the stairs,
Mario supporting her with an arm.
To his anxious inquiry, she returned
a CHASTITY smile and feeble shake of
her head.

voice she did not know as her own.

But Red-T
knocked senseless-back there"
Through the open doorway she
caught glimpse of room that
seemed well of raging flames, violet,
orange and green. Then Mario picked
her up again and started downstairs.
On the first landing she heard him
shouting the alarm Of fire. She strug-
gled, and he put her down, but held
her hand and dragged her with him
as they plunged down flight after
flight.
Before they had accomplished half

IL
won't you be fair to me, Red? You
know you're everything to me. But
what's Inez to ysu that you've got to
let her come between us and spoil
everything? We were SO happy before
you listened to her lies r. Please,
Red, please!'
There was an instant's pause,
vibrant with the passion of her pur-
pose and his doubts. But that very
moment of indecislon told her she
was winning--had already won.
Her arm moved round his neck,
drawing his head down. He resisted
stubbornly, but Of sudden yielded.
With low cry he crushed her to him.
The hard stubble Of his beard, I'M
shaven for three days, rasped her
sensitive skin. The reek of his breath
was sickening as he sought the fra
GRANGE Of her mouth. But she steeled
herself, repressed her shudder Of re-
pulsion, let him have his way, even
mustered a show of response that
contented him. For II her flesh
crawled. her heart sang She had won.
He had dropped his pistol; 1t lay UNI
needed on the table beside them. She
nestled more closely into his embrace,
breathing broken terms Of endear-
ment In answer to his halfcoherent
words. The movement brought her
nearer the table and the pistol, al
most between 1t and Carnehan. He
did not seem to notice. She debated
the next move, trying to scheme some
way to free a hand without exciting
his suspicious, SO that she might
grope behind her until her fingers
found the weapon
What sound 1t was that startled
him, whether football on the stairs
or door banging on one Of the lower
floors, she never knew But the man
lifted his head sharply, listening, and
his embrace relaxed.
He muttered: "What was that?"
Il didn't hear anything, Red ;"
With no more warning she thrust
him vigorously from her Altogether
taken by surprise, he stumbled back
ward, grasping at the air, his face a
tragicomic mask Of maudlin stupefac-
ton, until the wall behind him brought
him up At the same time under
standing smote him like thunder
bolt He pulled himself together and
started for her but ducked smartly
and again fell back on finding himself
under the threat of his own pistol.
But the reaction was involuntary
dictated by instinct more than by con-
, scious fear. Drink and rage had put
him well beyond the influence Of TINT
emotion. He could not grasp the pos
sibility of her carrying out that threat
implicit In her attitude. He knew only
that he had been tricked and must, be
revenged.
For little neither spoke nor
moved. The girl was motionless,
tense, her eyes dark with settled pur-
pose In a face abnorlnally pale with
excitement. The man stood In semi
crouching pose, swaying slightly from
side to side: shoulders bowed, head
thrust forward. murder glimmering in
bloodshot eyes. A dull growing is
sued from his half-open lips. Abrupt
ly, making nothing of the pistol, he
charged head-long.

TX. AT MIDNIGHT.

And sobbing as though her heart
must break, the girl Priscilla came
back TO herself In the ordered and
luxurious security of that quiet home
on Park avenue.
But 1t was some time before her be-
mtlssed wits were able to grasp the
singular circumstances that attended
this return, or this awakening which
ever 1t was She had been recalled
too suddenly, too harshly, from that
weird realm of her life in dreams to
the sane world of her waking exist
ence. At first she found nothing
strange In the fact that she, who had
lost consciousness In darkness, quiet
and solitude, should regain 1t in CON
fusing glare of light, see the intent,
anxious countenance of Philip Eos
dick bending over her, as he sat on
the edge of the bed, holding her by
the shoulders, and hear the bleating
of her Aunt Esther, who stood beside
Philip, kneading together vague and
futile hands.
But the sobs ceased when the odd
ness Of 1t all at length struck home,
and Priscilla sat up, shaking off
Philips hands and instinctively draw
ing her negligee together over her
night-dress.
"Why, Philipw she stammered.
"And Aunt Esther! Is anything the
matterT
81 fancy you can tell us that" Philip
suggested mildly with sympathetic
smile.
'T'm sure I don't understand in the
least" This was Aunt Esther. at
seems very peculiar, must say. Doc
tor Fosdick called few minutes ago
and insisted on seeing you. He said
he had telephoned you some time ago,
and you answered him so peculiarly
he wanted to make sure you were all
right. SO brought him up"
II think you understand, ella"
Philip interposed in guarded man
ner.
"And we found you writhing and
moaning in your sleep-and do what
we could 1t seemed impossible to
wake you up!"
IT see" said Priscilla--."I under
stand. I'm sorry to have worried you
so
She tried to smile reassnringly for
Philips sake, but the attempt was not
altogether success. Her memories
were too vivid, too moving, the pain
in her heart too new and keen. Her
lips quivered. her wide dazed eyes
once more brimmed with tears.
Fosdiek looked aside to Mrs Trow-
bridge. "Prlscilla's In highly nerv-
Gus state" he explained with the au-
thority of the physician. "But rye
been studying her for some time and
have the case, think, well in hand.
If you don't mind telephoning my Of
flee that / can't get there within an
hour or two, ] think | can quiet her
so that she'll sleep naturally for the
rest of the night"
But he knew very well that the Of
flee telephone would not be answered,
and that it.would take Aunt Esther at
least ten minutes to find that out :.
When they were alone he turned
again to Priscilla.
"You must tell me your dream, ella

Its fire scorched the face of the beast
and added the pang of physical pain
