The Judge offered his arm with
the formal gallant air he could as

followed at a discreet distance:
her shimmering gown had a long
tail. Mr.. Dinwiddie's eyes seemed
to bore into that graceful swaying
back, but he was not the man to
discuss his hostess until he had
left her house, and Clavering could
only wonder what conclusions
were forming in that avid cynical
old brain.
The dining-room, long and mar
row, was at the back of the hall
and extended along the entire
width of the large house. Like the
hall, it was panelled and dark, an
imposing room hung with family
portraits. A small table at the end
looked like a fairy oasis. 1t gilt

she said graciously, although there
was a twinkle in her eye. You

young. The rest of us are the ones
to feel out of it,"
Not a bit of it! Not a bit of

forget that Madame Zattiany has
lived in Europe since infancy.
She's talked to elderly statesmen

Her manner was a little like that

by her slight accent and profound
repose, the negligent lifting of her
hand to be kissed; and as she

expressions of unhoped for felicity
she looked less American, more
European, than ever. But Claver-

New York Blaze Fighter Tells
You How To Get
Rich

WIFI E'oTONE, N. Y. Oct. 49,
You'll never get rich by saving. So
says William j. Wesener, Queens
N. Y. 1meman, who retired from
service the other day worth more
than 100000.
Yet he never received a salary
of more than S. a week. And when
he began he received just SIS
weekly
But Wiesener didn't get that
way by taking So out of his week
ly envelope and poking it through
the wicket at courteous bank
clerk. No, ma'am! When he wasn't
rescuing lovely blondes from burn
ing third story windows and carry
ing kittens down from telegraph
poles, he was putting in time turn
ing over little odd jobs of real es-
tate.
That's the reason that in addition
to the $1280 yearly pension which
he will draw hereafter for his 20
years of service in the fire depart
ment, he will have an annual in
come of $4,000 from his 100000
investments. He owns 23-family
apartment dwelling. numerous
small houses and $50 lots.
The neighbors in this little town
where he lives say they wouldn't
be surprised if in another five years
Bill turned out to be a millionaire,
Right now he's only 45.

him what he intended doing with
all that money. Bill himself came

mot at ALL" said Bill. We've
been livin' the same way for 20
years and we don't intend to change
now. Hey, Kate, put in another
pork chop! There's company come
to dinner"
Here, accordisg to Bill, was the
way it happened;
He'd always wanted little place
in the country with chickens and so
on, and one day, 20 years ago, he
sold out his grocery store, paid up
his debts, pocketed the $500 that
remained and started looking
around
The place, when he found it, con-
sisted of four-and-a-half acres and
two houses and the owner wanted
$500 for it. Bill borrowed the
money somehow, got job in the
fire department, moved into one
of the houses and the next month
sold the other house at $500 profit.
He's been selling things at pront
ever since. Along aoout 1916 Bill
got an idea that there weren't
enough three and four-room apart
ments for young married people
and old couplcs. All the bankers
laughed at him, so Bill had to go
out Of town to get the money. Bnt
thu dav those apartments were
finished there were 80 families on
he whiting list.

."Keep Faith," Urges
 HefIin Of Harding

 THE AGE-E EERALD STATE CAPITAL. RI-REAI-

Senator J. Thomas Hesl;n today urged President Harding by telegram to keep faith with the white people of Tuskegec by retaining white off cers in control of the rehabilitation hospital. Senator Heflin told the President that assurance was given at the time the hospital was located that white officers would be in charge.
 ordinarily, I would say that 1t is all right for a negro hospital to be operated in every way by negroes, but In the case of the negro hospital at Fuskegee. 1 am convinced that there was a distinct understanding between the government at Wash ington and the white people of Tus- kegee that If they would consent for the negro hospital to be located there of white officers" said Senator lief lin's telegram.
 The white citizens of Tuskegee contend that if it had not been for this distinct understanding with the goNernment they would not have con- sented for the negro hospital to be located there. In view of the under standing and agreement by which the government obtained the consent from the white people of Tuskegee to permit the negro hospital to be located there, believe 1t to be to the best interest of the institution and to the best interest of all concerned for those in authority at Washington to see to 1t that faith is kept with the white people of Tuskegee and that white officers be continued in control according to agreement"
