 Before sine could conjecture what he was doing, he slid from sight again. Bursting back into the trail he swung aboard again and they were off.
 Just wanted to cut the wire some more," he said, between gasps. Makes it little harder for 'em." You'd better not waste much time cutting wire" she warned him, with another look backward.
 Why not. Mrs. Lot?
 They've probably got the big car out now"
 He reached into the pocket of his coat and drew forth something that fell clinking into her lap. She picked up two metallic objects and tried to examine them in the dim light.
 What are they?" she asked
 "One of ems an intake valve. the others an exhaust. Timothy's been grinding them"
 And they can't run the car?"
 Not particularly" said the Wreck.
 And how are you going to get them back to Timothy?"
 He took them from her hands and tossed them into the bushes at the side of the trail.
 Let 'em send to New York for new valves," he answered. in tone of savage satisfaction. "They ex- pect to stay month, don't they?"
 "You're only piing up trouble for yourself, Henry Williams"
 Nope. Only playing safe"
 And to emphasize the safety of his play, he stopped the fivver again and ascended another pole, from which he cut the wires with two vicious snaps of his pliers.
 Don't forget they can make time over this trail with a horse," said Sally. If l were you I'd keep nov ing"
 "T hid the saddles" said the Wreck, grinning.
 "You what?'
 "Took all the saddles and brides | and carted them out back of the cor ral. Dumped them into gully. They won't find them till morning, anyhow"
 As the broad scope of his precau- tions to forestnll pursuit dawned upon her, Sally experienced feeling of awed admiration. She already knew that he had a way of doing things on impulse; but it was dis covery to learn that the Wreck could be coldly calculating.
 Tn that case" she said. "you might slow down little until we reach the main road. There's no use breaking our necks until we get off the Underwood property"
 He adopted the suggestion and irove more slowly, although he did f with reluctance. He had sort of affection for the dusty flivver, and he touch of the steering wheel in spired him. He was in a mood 10 make the machine fly, if 1t would.
 A third time he dismounted, as hey reached the end of the private 'oad, and threw open the gate. He ,ven took the trouble to close it. liter they passed through. Then once more taking the wheel, he ooked at Sally. The main road lay ust in front of them, running at fight angles
 Which way" he demanded. T uppose you're headed for the train , rent you?''

 Sally was not certain whether he was headed for the train or the 3ar-M. She had not attempted to Ian anything beyond the getaway. which loomed so large in her vision hat if blocked off any glimpse at he future.

renewed today his assault upon the
Coolidge Administration FOR seeking
to block newspaper publication Of
income tax returns. Z
It was particularly at Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon and At.

directed his attack. Newspaper
publication Of tax lists, La Toilette
reiterated, was intended specific,

present revenue bill.

personal opinion that publication
OF returns was contrary to the will
OF Congress and illegal" and re,
called the secretary's Controversy
with Senator Couzens, Republican
of Michigan, over income tax rates
while the revenue bill was before
the Senate. Mellon held that high
surtax rates would result in a
great loss in Federal revenues by
driving productive capital into tax

tradicted this contention in several
letters to Mellon.

Water Front Improvement.

The proposal to improve the water
front of Washington channel comes
into prominence once more through
the annual report of the wharf com.
mittee to the District Commissioners
The plan for improving that part of
the city has adequate Endorsement.
Water street, in Southwest Washing
ton, could be made one, of the fine
streets of Washing gton and would give
quick and easy connection between
South Washington and Potomac Park.
The wharf line should be made regu-
lar and substantial, and slightly wharf
buildings for the accommodation and
encouragement of river traffic should
be erected. There was a time when
the water front, much buster than
now, was part of the city that was
only seen by persons having business
there. Now it is on view to everybody
who lives in Washington or visits the
city. 1t is one of the principal pic
lures of Washington to everybody who
tours Potomac Park. The wharf COM
mittee in it's report to the Commis-
sioners says: 1T is hoped that funds
may be secured in the next District
appropriation act for the preparation
of plan for the improvement of this
water front" It ought to be easy
to get money for the preparation of a
plan, and then with a satisfactory
plan it ought to be easy to get the
money for putting it into effect.

Sewer Program.

The sanitary engineer, in his an
nual report to the District Commits
sioners. submits a tentative five-year
program for sewer construction in the
District, and to carry out that plan
would call for a yearly appropriation
of $1,S00,000. The report is a fair
and comprehensive presentation Of
the case. Washington has grown
faster than its sewer system. It Is
the plan of most American municipal
tiles to keep sewer facilities ahead of
city growth, on the theory that build
ing sewers In advance Of the city
gives encouragement to the city's
growth and is economical, because 1t
is cheaper to put sewers through Sec
tions not built up. Washington grew
ahead Of sewer and street facilities.
The sewer builders are making a stern
chase, which is long one. Appro-
priation Of $1,So0,00o a year for a
period of five years would keep the
sewer system in line with running
needs and would catch up with the
needs that were not met during the
difficult years Of the recent past.
The sanitary engineer says: ''The
time cannot be far distant when some
preliminary treatment must be given
the sewage Of Washington rather
