Come day when he didn't call me up.
1t was Sunday afternoon, and he always

Ma Obermayer's parlor like a spider waiting
for fly, but every time the phone fixed it
was for somebody else.
Gosh, oh, gosh! Had he gone and got
killed? Or maybe he was only tied up some
place in a traffic tangle. How about it,
though, if he just plain didn't want to call

they stayed down-for good.
So Harry was trying to shake me. All

from the wondering wall, rolled with a
righteous thunder.

tones trickled to my ears, "and what's the

that not only would it be viewed with

panied by urgent demands that some
thing be done about 1t. For ottawa

dry ontario, and is itself dry. But

The Stilson Hutchins estate at the

H. L. Rust Co.. has been transferred
to Julius Garflnckel, local department
store owner. for 81, ,460, ,000 II was re-

This property extends from the rear
of the Wyatt Building. occupying the
northwest corner of Fourteenth and
streets, north to 140o G street and
takes in also 1406 g street, up to the
building occupied by the District Ma
tional Bank.
This is the second notable deal in
this block reported in the past two

reported the purchase of 1921 F street

ings. 1t is generally conceded that he
intends to erect large department
store on the site of his recent pur-
chases, although he still has a. lease
on the building the firm now occupies
at Thirteenth and F streets.
These people who are closely con-
nected with Mr.. Garfinckel's activi-
ties in his purchases predict that If
the building is erected 1t will very
probably face on f street opposite
the Willard Hotel and run back to-
ward Fourteenth and G streets. It
was explained that the probable rea-
son for Mr.. Garf1nckel's purchase of
the entire Hutchins estate at Four
teenth and q was that he needed an
alley located there as well as part of
the property and that he could not
obtain these requirements without the
purchase of the whole estate located
there. Two sites in the estate--the
cigar store at the corner of Fourteenth
and G and a building Just to the
south on Fourteenth, are on the mar.
ket now.

Mr.. Garfinckel is In Europe and Of

In connection with the purchase Of
the Hutchins estate, a deed OF trust
for $S60,000 has been given by Mr..
