est lingering in his clasp, although she was not at all unconscious that her fingers were tingling.
 Lynda never knew how she got out of the young boss" office. but she was so pale when she returned to her desk that Emily Andrews whispered: Did he can you?"
 The question recalled her to earth.
 No. Mir. Almitage wants me to take his dictation for a few days" '" she answered, primly.
 Emily looked murderous for an instant. and then exclaimed:
 Do you mean to tell me. Lynda Fenton, that you fell for that old stuff? Any one could see that he was nutty about you the first min- ute he caught glimpse of you"
 Il didn't know Mir. Armitage ever had seen me until today" began Lynda. quite haughtily.
 Don't try to high-hat me. Be your age, my dear, be your age,' was Emily's contemptuous retort. 'I'll tell the pink-eyed planet that you know your Bermudas from that common. or garden. variety. You've worked pretty fast, too, I'll say, but let me wise you up to one thing. Every girl in this place is going to high hat you plenty for every one of them has hoped that. some day. the young boss would reach out and single her out of the crowd to grace his office. just as he has you. Every one has known for the last month that Calla was going away. and when they find out you've copped the big plum. oh. boy. I'm sorry for you, all right
 Would you give up the job, Elm lily, just because the girls in this office might hate you for getting it?"

thought he was going to put his hand upon her shoulder, but he did not. She felt a throbbing in her slender throat as his eyes travelled over the slim lines of her figure. A jingle of excitement ran through her veins. Was this what her father meant when he said there was something in every woman that re- sponded to the worst side of man?
 What was this Mir. Armitage was saying?
 Miss Fcnton, would you like to take Miss Calla's place for a few weeks, with the understanding that if you can do her work the place will be yours permanently?
 Miss Calla was a kind of left over when my father vacated this office, and at times she made me so motherly. For some time I want ed 10 suggest some innovations of my own in the details of my work, but to tell the truth, didn't dare. !"
 Ralph Armtage said this with another of his rare smiles, as though he were already sharing a secret with Lynda.
 Still she was unable to say a word. Her heart was beating so fast that she had a feeling he could see if flutter through the flimsy silk that covered her young bosom.
 She rose to her feet. He was so much taller that he could still look down upon her.
 'I hope you understand how grateful and proud I am, if you think l can do your work, and l will try very hard to make good, MT. Armitage. If I don't it will be be- cause 1 don't know how"
 Then that's settled. Miss Fen ton," the young boss" said, hold ing out his hand. She put hers into it and wondered whether he felt the electric shock of the contact, as she did.
 How could she have thought he was sad or that his mouth was somber? His face was triumphantly happy, and he was smiling in way that drew her very soul to her trcmulous mouth.
 She slowly withdrew her hand and told herself that she was silly 10 imagine that there was the slight

ing services whereas there had been nothing but a minimum fee agree ment heretofore.
 Councilman John Holmberg in. quired if the bond issue to be voted on tomorrow night has any bearing on increased supply and he was in- formed that improvement in quality alone is contemplated.
 Whats the matter with the pres ent supply? I've been drinking it for 40 years and it seems to be just as good now as ever before" Coun- cilman William o. Holt interiected.
 Says Quality Is Declining
 Replying, Chairman Watson read reports from the state department of health showing that complaints had been made against the condition of the water and that there have been indications of contamination. In his opinion the water is becoming poor CT instead of better.
 The unpleasant conditions accom- panying semi-annual turnover in the reservoir will be eliminated through the sand filter, Consulting Engineer Allan Hagen said in reply to query made by Councilman Rodger w. Whitman of the first ward whose district suffers most during these periods.
 Discuss Need of Auditor
 Councilman Sablotsky discussed the need of an auditor in the city government, remarking that there is no method by which the city of- ficials may know how their records stand.
 Senator Hall answered that an audit is now made by Comptroller Curtis, but Mayor Paonessa did not agree that this is sufficient since Mir. Curtis is part-time employe and could not give the time to a thorough audit.
 Chairman George R. Dobeon of the board of public works attempt ed to effect an agreement with the councilmen as to a salary for the city engineer, who now receives the pay he did as assistant. MT. Dobson
 
 councilmen while not fixing figure they would recommend, were in- clined to feel this is too great an in- crease for a man who worked for several years for S3,000.
 Mayor Paoness advised that under his former rating, that of assistant engineer, he had opportunity to earn more money on side work than from the city but that his time is now taken up entirely with his city work.
 The salary question will come be- fore the common council tomorrow night when Engineer Merriam bills the city for s400 for back pay under the $5.200 salary fixed for the posi- ton of city engineer. but which Corporation Counsel Kirkham claims went out of existence when Engineer J. D. Williams resigned.

ERROR IS SUSPECTED
Weather Officials Doubt 1t Possible that Heat in Europe Is as Great as Reported.

Washington. July IT LT-Central European temperatures reported from London today were regarded as incredible by weather bureau of- ficials here.
 They attributed the high figures to errors in converting centigrade to fahrenheit. and that 105 degrees fahrenheit would be about the limit for Central Europe" No absolute check could be made here. as only early morning temperatures are re- ceived from the continent.
 'Figurs officially reported every where are for shade temperatures" !" said Director Marvin, of the bureau, but centigrade is used in Europe and there must have been an inac- curacy in converting these. I can't believe it is credible report"
 He added that IA degrees centi- grade would be 44 degrees above the the boiling point of water and even IA degree fahrenheit is unknown

PHILIPPINE LAWS NEEDING CHANGES
Complete Revision Is Urged by
 Governor General

Manila, July 1T R-A thorough going revision of the land and cor- poration laws of the Philippine Islands Ito bring them up to a parity with modern Legislation" was urged yesterday by Governor General Stim- son at the opening of the new ses- sion of the insular legislature.
 With regard to this modernization of corporation law, MT. Stimson said 1t was necessary "so as to insure the people who are willing to lend mon- ey to you that the enterprise in which they invest will be thoroughly. justly and equitably treated"
 As to land law revision the ogver- nor general said: At the present rate with which the agricultural land of these islands Is being dis tributed among their people, it will be 400 years before that great asset. the great guardian of the peoples stability is fully put to use. This is not conservation: this is waste.''
 Colonel Stimson said certain thoughtless critics" had sought to arouse suspicion with the argument that to invite the help of American capital would be to institute eco- homie serfdom to America"
 Tt would be hard to conceive . more serious error," he went on By exciting an unfounded fear. these critics would block the only avenue towards economic. and therefore po- litical independence of these islands.
 1.-The Philippine Islands today stand in much the same economic situation as the United States stood 1o4 years ago. We in America were then posSessors of the boundless re- sources of . great continent, but we were poor and lacked means to de- velop those resources. We borrowed freely from Europe. including many countries with whose political insti- tutions we had no sympathy and even held in profound distrust. Is America in economic serfdom to- day?
 In speaking of the land distribu- tion problem the governor general said he had been . pioneer of con- servation of natural resources. par ticularly water power in the United States and that no measure in the Philippines calculated to squander such resources will ever knowingly be favored or approved by me" As to the laws restricting corpor- ation activities, he said the exist ing Philippine statutes were intro duced a generation ago from the United States under the influence of theories then prevailing but which have long since been exploded in the land of their origin"

READ THIS FIRST.

READ THIS FIRST:
 Lynda Fenton. daughter of John Fenton. periodical drunkard, has obtained her first job in the office Of Armitage X Son.
 Her fa1her is always telling her that every woman has her price and that her own mother had de- serted them for a wealthy man.
 l.ynda's one friend and constant companion since childhood is David Kenmore, a salesman for Armlase
 At the office Lynda meets Emily Andrews, who cherishcs secret fondness for David, and determines to make it as uncomfortable as pos sible for Lynda.
 All at once it dawns upon David that, although he imagined he was interested in Emily, he is really in love with Lynda, and when her father deserts her, he tells her he loves her. and that if she'll wait un- til the first of the year he'll ask her to be his wife.
 Lynda finds an old school ac- udlIlldHCt, tidlI z StdIlHopt, "ol ing in the office, and asks her to come and live with her.
 Ralph Armitage sends for Lynda to come to his office.

 CHAPTER XIII
 LYNDA HAS A NEW JOB
 Will he never speak," Lynda asked herself, as Ralph Armitage continued to regard her curiollsly.
 At that mom. mt a peculiar smile started at the corner of his mouth and travelled like ray of light to his eyes.
 You are really very small and very young. Miss Fenton." he said.
 I'm over nineteen, and Miss Gal Top told me yesterday that I was a very good stenographer-as good as any in the office
 'Yes, she told me the same thing, and the last few days she has been testing you out, at my request"
 Lynda's head bowed. She was all most sure that he was going to tell her she would not do.
 T don't mind working overtime until learn the routine of the of- fice.' she impulsively exclaimed. If you will give me a little time I'm sure l can satisfy you. Mir. Armi- tage."
 You satisfy me now, Miss Fen ton"
 Lynda sat up straight in her chair. She wondered whether she had heard alright,
 T have seen some of your work and asked Miss Gallop about you and at last asked her to send you to me"
 Miss Calla. my secretary. is go- irg to take a long vacation; in fact. l am almost sure she is not coming back, and I've been looking about in the outer office for someone 10 take her place. l had almost decid- ed to go outside for someone. when you popped into my vision. When ever l passed through the office you did not see me at all.

She seems 10 think that is you"

VENDORS SCORE
MARKET DEAL

"Hope for big profits or bonuses
through the promotion of a specula-
tive land deal which could not pos
sibly work to the general benefit
of Washington" is the real motive
actuating the merchants who pro-
pose purchasing the Patterson tract,
north of Florida Ave. N. E., for a
market site. according to protest
filed with the District Commission
ers yesterday by 40 downtown food
vendors.
While the merchants interested
in the Patterson tract were at odds
with Lieut.. Col. u. s. Grant Bird,
director of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, who wants the land
for playground and park purposes,
the 40 merchants who for years
have maintained places of business
in and around Center Market strove
for a southwest site.
The protest declared that the Pat
terson site would prove announcement
and the additional drayage and ham
ding Of car lot, shipments, result
ing from remoteness from railroad
terminals, would add to the cost
of food to the ultimate Washington
consumer. Furthermore, it was
stated, Florida Avenue already is a
congested traffic artery and would
become we1l-nigh impossible should
large market he located on it.
Buyers for hotels and restaurants
find a downtown location more
accessible, it was stated, and the
logical action is to concentrate
marketing facilities in the south
west section.
While nu fha nna hand fhe
merchants are divided as to location
OF the site, it appears that market
would not be welcomed in the
Patterson tract neighborhood. Per-
cival Hall. President of the board
of directors of the Columbia Insti-
tuition for the Deaf, situated ada
cent to the Patterson land, and G.
M. Koockogey. president of the
Trinidad Citizens Association, have
protested TO the commissioners
against establishing market there.
