The model homes demonstration be-
4ng sponsored this year by The Star in
cooperation with the Home Owners
Institute and local builders now is
nearing the halfway mark. Several
thousand persons interested in home
ownership and modern construction
methods have inspected the four DEM
onStration dwellings.
The demonstration has served as
means of graphically Illustrating meth
DDS followed in the construction of
modern houses, their furnishing, equip
ment and decoration and hundreds have
visited the houses to study them during
various phases of their development.
The four houses differ widely in con-
ception. materials, size and anchi-
tectural plan, offering opportunity for
contrast. The first of the series was
erected by the Aurora Hills Homes, Inc.
in Aurora Hills, Va. 1t is n modest
size English cottage with some Nor
man influence, of brick and stucco con-
Struction. The second house, erected
by L. E. Breuninger & Sons in Shep-
herd Park, is large English residence
of native stone and Stucco.
The third model home in Kenwood is
q great colonial house of the Jefferson
Ian period, OF colonial brlcK, winch Is
set well back from the street on spa
cious plot, on which stand numerous
evergreen and dogwood trees.
House Is Completed.
The opening of this house, originally
scheduled for September 16, was post
poned to October z to await completion
of the repaving of Bradley boulevard
In order that visitors might reach Ken
wood by this main entrance. The
house, however, has been structurally
completed for two weeks, and visitors
may reach it by driving out either
Connecticut or Wisconsin avenues
turning left into Dorset avenue to Ken
nedy drive, then right to the house,
at the corner of Chamberlain avenue.
The Kenwood house will be COM
pleted in all details with the installa-
ton of furniture which will be Dlaced

Delay in completion of the
reSurfacing of Bradley boulevard
west of Wisconsin avenue, the
main entrance to Kenwood, Md,
has caused a second postpone
ment of the formal opening of
the third 1928 Star model home
there and also of the fourth and
last of the series of homes, in
Foxhall Village. Thus Washing
ton will have an extended time in
which to visit the houses prior to
the formal exhibition of each
house.
The Kenwood dwelling, located
at the corner of Kennedy drive
and Chamberlin avenue, will be
opened October and remain on
exhibition through November 3.
The model home in Foxhall Viii
lage will be opened the first week
in November.
The Star model home at the
corner of Morningside drive and
Juniper street, Shepherd Park.
which was opened August 10, will
be closed tomorrow at 9 pm.

freedom in the matter of planning

THE EVENING STORY

Cragg, dressed in blue and white ging-
ham, with chestnut locks playing in
the breeze about joyous Sun-browned
face, was placing a yellow bowl filled
with violetS on the built-in table She
set the bowl down and lifted her eyes
to the thorn-apple, and, seeing John,
disappeared quickly to reappear on the
porch.
A kiss, and the log castles chate-
laine was leading her lord to tempt
ing breakfast. He was Just taking his
own seat across from her when her
cry startled him.
"Ooooh, John, look! Isn't that just
too dear?"
John pretended he couldn't see from
where he sat. He had to come round
to her side of the table and put his
cheek against hers-to get just the
right angle.
There, right on the window ledge.
Can't you see it? The baby fingers of
the rambler?"
Then sitting beside the chatelsine,
John told her for the first time of the
doubt that had been in his heart the
day he received her letter, placing
much of the blame on the thorn-apple,
because 1t had shaken warning fingers
at the idea of tranSplanting a city Or
child to the range.
"Oh, you dear old stupid" laughed
Jean, sapphire eyes sparkling through
mist. 'how could you doubt my love?
He's an awful tenderfoot, isn't hep"
she put it to the thorn-apple, who
nodded in the affirmative "If you
were real Westerner you'd recognize
cactus when you saw it. Why, my
DEAR" she reached up and held his
cheek close, close to hers, you didn't
transplant an orchid. You brought a
cactus back to its home"

Taverner at the Porto Principe in the
morning
He remembered something that
Dighton had told him in the train:
"If the Lizards the crook we imagine
him to be-" he had said, "he may be
putting his services at anybody's dis
posal-providing the price is big enough.
/" In which case Ahlborg may be
paying him to get it back
Queer that, now that the truth was
outi
Ahlborg, the Lizard and Mafalda
formed a sort of triple alliance, Of
which the girl, apparently, was the
least reliable. It was her mad in
fatuation for Dighton that had saved
him from the Lizard on the night
when they had first met. Ahlborg, un-
observant as he had contrived to ap-
pear, had not been blind to this. He
had inveigled Greta to Rapallo with
two definite objects In view; to dis
illusion Mafalda and to kidnap her as
soon as this end was accomplished.
In all probability, Greta was at the
Villa Sabine now.
Marney shook his head
He believed he had located her, but
there was a vast difference between
that and getting her out.
He wondered If Ahlborg had fore
seen what difficulties the holding of
Miss Haye at the villa would present.
In a way, he supposed, 1t was a tribute
to the activity of the British secret
service men. 1t showed that, now that
there was no question of the invention
being bought, he only feared attack
from one quarter.
The more he thought of it, the more
the devilish cunning of his move ap-
oealed to Marney. In the simplest man
ner possible, Ahlborg had tied Taver-
ner's hands. With the knowledge that
his niece was within the four walls
of the Villa Sabine it was unlikely the
chief would contemplate desperate
measures.
And yet, he remembered, Taverner
was not supposed to know. Mad as
he was, Ahlborg would not have been
so outspoken if he had known Mar
ney was within hearing There was
something else behind this spiriting
away of Greta, something that the
American could not fathom.
A tap came at the window at his
back, sharp succession of sounds as
if some one were drumming on the glass
with his finger nails.
Marney turned.
Through the misted pane he saw a
white face pressed against the outer
surface and the shadowy outline of a
woman's head and shoulders.
He dropped a. note on the table,
nodded to Pima and went out.
The figure had vanished from the

vicinity of the restaurant by the time
he reached the street. He stood for
moment, hesitant, gazing to right and
to left Presently, at the corner of the
Via Emilia, he saw a form wrapped
in a black shawl and a white hand
beckoning.
The Signorina FontanelliI He rec
ognized her now. Her father had sent
for him. She had been to the Casino
gardens, as he had said. and traced
him here. 1t could only mean one
thing.
The girl had vanished into the dark
ness. Marney broke into q run.
Entering by the back, he found a
gaping hole in the kitchen floor, the
cellar flap standing open and the cellar
below flooded with light. Peering down
before making the descent. he made out
Fontanelli himself, squatting on keg,
with his hands on his knees.
rs that you, signore?" he called up.
did I not always tell you there were
rats In this cellar? Come down and
see what our trap has caught!"
Marney went down.
He had seen the man already, queer,
white-faced creature, erect against
wall of packing cases at the far end
Of the subterranean vault. One hand
paved at his throat, and his face and
hair were bathed in perspiration. Nov
ing closer, Marney saw the reason.
Fontanelli's knife, flung by the t1n-
erring hand Of an ex-Ardito, had enter
ed the side of his neck and had him
pinned therel
Santa Madonna!" moaned the
wretched intruder; II am in agony, Sig
nor Americano-I shall die!"
Marney halted between Fontanelli
and his victim, cycling him curiously.
The little American was in his element
now; his hands were on his hips. his
legs set wide apart and his eyes glinted
like two pin-pointS of fire.
"If you don't want to stay that way
all night" he Kissed, tell me who you
are"
The other writhed.
Take out this knife and I win tell
you"
Tell me-" retorted Marney, "and I
may take out that knife!"
81 am the Lizard!" jerked out the
other suddenly.
Marney started as If he had been
struck.
"You?" he calculated fiercely. "You?"
"I am the Lizard" insisted the VIC
tim again-and Marney pulled out the
knife.
He knew before he had asked that
the man who dropped fainting into his
arms was the night porter at Dighton's
Hotel.
