THERE was something sinister in the simple
conclusion of his sentence. I leaned for
ward The little man was moistening his lips
with his tongue. The seconds of that silence
seemed like a whole epoch. I heard a train

commiSSionaireS whistles showing that the
theaters were emptying.
"Yes. I surprised him." my companion re-
peated. breaking at last that Incredible silence.

The fugitive looked at me plaintively.
"He had chosen to fight me-" he pleaded. II

He held them up-a childs doubled-up hands,
and thin at that.
1T had to be made fair" he went on. IT
didn't ask him to come and steal my girl. He
got what was coming to him"
And then?" I asked, somehow afraid Of
another silence.
Agnes, I think she was fearful I was going
to do her in, too" he proceeded. "She rushed
out into the street. After that there was moth
ing for me to do. I'd felt brave enough for the
first few minutes. I meant to sit there until
the police came, but, all of a sudden, my cour-
age went. I wasn't glad he was dead any
longer. I followed Agnes out into the street,
and I ran away, and presently they ran after
me. So that's that"
He finished his story with a little gulp Of
satisfaction. I could see him watching me
eagerly to gather what effect it had upon me.
We sat and looked at each other-this self
confessed murderer Of puny physique and I,
who had given him refuge. Perhaps, in a
measure, each was seeking to read what was in
the others thoughts.
What are you going to do about me, sir?" he
ventured at length.

I passed into my sitting room and looked out
of the window. In a few minutes my guest
made his timid entry. His appearance was very
much improved. The wound had evidently not
been q deep one, and he had been able to wash
of most of the blood. He had made some at
tempt to straighten his mass of tousled hair,
and he had brushed his clothes until the shine
of wear was visible. A RE inofenSive looking
person I have never seen.
"Well. what have you been up to?" I asked
him.
cit is a longish' story, guv'nor," he answered
heSitatingly.
Sit down there" I invited. you'll have to
tell me all about it before I can make up my
mind whether to march you to the police sta

He shivered a little.
IT don't think you'll do that, guv'nor."
"I may. A man doesn't run away for moth

Now that I looked at him closely, I saw that
there were little wrinkles about his eyes. He
was probably not so young as I had thought.
"Have they gomez" he asked, glancing toward
the window.
Now, then, out with it," I enjoined. "Ive
given you Q chance, but whether I help you
further or not depends on what you have to
tell me-"
LIE looked into the fire despondently. Then
he looked up at me, studied my face al
most. as it seemed, hungrily, as though he were
trying to make up his mind what manner of
man I was.

ly. "Bibby Line, between here and Australia. I
was on the Oretavia; landed early this morning
at Tilbury."

He shivered, listened for a moment and rose
to his feet. He made his way on tiptoe to the
window and peered down from behind the cur
tain into the street.
There's more people about down there" he
remarked uneasily-"a cop, too, over by the
ratings"
I left my place and stood by his side. There
were q few paSSers-by and certainly a policeman
talking to the man who looks after unattended
motor cars, but there was nothing particularly
disturbing.

him.. Get on with your story, and I shall know

He resumed his place.

"but, while I was away the last time, Agnes

."He was at her house when I went there Just

and I couldn't see nothing for a moment. He
was over 6 feet-a drayman by trade-with

MEMORIAL WORK
WILL BE RESUMED
Washington Honor Made Possible
by Splendid Response to
Funds Appeal.

Work on the George Washington Me-
mortal Building at Sixth and C streets,
the foundation for which has lain open
for some years, probably will be re-
sumed on Washington's Birthday, Feb
ruary %, 1880, 1t was announced to-
day by Robert Lloyd, director of the ma
tional finance committee of the George
Washington Memorial Association.
1T Is now thought" Mr.. Lloyd says
that actual construction of the build
ing can be started at that time, in
corded the appeal for contributions.
It is hoped by the association that
this will permit of the completion of
the memorial in time for the George
Washington bi-centennial celebration
In 1882.
Mr.. Lloyd states that the association
has found the American people have
no equals in patriotism when an oppor-
tunity is presented for honoring the
Father of his Country.
He finds that the response to the
appeals for funds for the building in
the past year has been SO general and
so whole hearted, and the press of the
country has rendered such generous
support that it is now felt that the
project can meet with nothing but sue
cess"
There was a general fear in the early
part Of this year that the campaign for
funds would not be q success, Mr..
Lloyd revealed.
The corner stone Of the memorial was
laid with ceremony in 1921, the late
President Harding and other high on
Gals OF the Government offlciating.

by one-story entrance lobby, and there
is provision for the future development
of third wing extending to the rear
toward Rock Creek. The estimated cost
of the two wings, each of which will be

COUNCIL STUDIES
AID FOR VETERANS
Medical Group Of Bureau Meet
With Hines to Consider
disqualification.

In compliance with President Hoovers
request that the question of future hos
pitalization of veterans be made the
subject of special study, the executive
committee of the medical council of the
United States Veterans Bureau met to-
day at the bureau at the call of Dr.
rector Frank T. Hines to survey the
situation.
Mr.. Hines made 1t plain that the
present authorization for appropriations
OF $l5,950,000 for new hospitals indi-
Gates the will of Congress to take cure
adequately of all the veterans, but he
explained that before this could be done
efficiently, intelligently and econom-
tcally the question in its many phases
must be given careful study.
Illustrating the present trend of hos
pitalization by means of statistical
chart, he pointed out that at present
approximately 43 per cent of the 28.874
patients now in hospitals under super
vision OF the bureau are non-service
cases, while In some Of the bureau hos
pitfalls this ratio runs as high as IS per
cent.
With a potential patient load of APP
proximately 100000 men now of aver
age age of 81 years, the director asked
that specific study be made of the
probable patient load and trend in 5,
10 and Is years.

PRESIDENT PLANS
QUIET OBSERVANCE
Only Few Friends viii Sit Up
to Welcome New
Year In.

President and Mrs. Hoover have
planned nothing out of the ordinary
Tor the observance of the passing of the
old year and the arrival of the new
year at the White House tomorrow
night. They intend to remain up to
watch the event and will have. a few
personal friends with them for q very
simple and quiet observance.
The custom adopted during the Cool
idge administration of stationing trum-
peters from the Marine Band on the
roof of the White House to sound their
instruments on the changing Of the
year is not to be followed at the White
House this New Year eve.
Reception to Be Brilliant.
The New Year day reception at the
White House Is looked forward to with
more than the usual interest, however,
principally because this is the first re-
ception of the kind held by the Hoo
vers and brilliant demonstration is
anticipated. Moreover, due to the post
which was scheduled for an earlier
date this month, on account of the
death of Secretary of War Good, the
New Year day reception will serve as
the first formal affair of the kind held
at the White House. The attendance
is expected to be record breaking.
Great interest is attached to the So
called public section of the reception,
which will be in the afternoon. It will
be during this reception that the rank
and file of the city will pass in line be-
fore the President and First Lady and
those assisting them to receive and ex-
change good wishes for the coming year.
If the weather is not stormy or too cold
it is expected that one of the largest
crowds ever recorded will be on hand.
The President and Mrs. Hoover had
as house guests today M. w. Aylesworth
Of New York. Mrs. Jeanne Large of
California, Mrs. Hoover's sister, who.
with her two children, came to the
White House for the holidays, will re-
main as a house guest until after the
first Of the year.
China Minister Calls.
The President was at his new tenn
porary Offices long before o'clock this
morning, but used the elevator to the
second floor rather than climb the many
steps. He saw very few callers and had
only two engagements. One OF the
latter was with Nelson johnson, the
newly appointed Minister to China, who
came to pay his respects to the Presi-
dent before sailing on the 9Th Of Jan.
uary for his new post.

JURY FINDS THREE DIED
OF ACCIDENT INJURIES
Blind Brothers Testimony Puts
End to Violence Theories Re-
garding One Death.

A coroner's jury returned verdicts of
accidental death in three inquests held
at the District morgue today.
Those into whose deaths the jury in
uuired were Joseph E. Dudley, 81, of
44S0 New Hampshire avenue: Bernard
Canavin, As, of 1927 South Capitol
street southwest, and Joseph Curtis,
colored, SIS, lot l. street southeast.
Dudley died Saturday in Providence
Hospital from injuries sustained six
days earlier when he was struck by an
automobile operated by Julius A. Payne,
A. of Upper Darby, Pa. Dudley's in
juries were not thought to be serious at
the time of the accident.
Doubt hedged about the death of
Canavin, but after listening to his blind
brother, John Canavin of the South
Capitol street address, telling of find
ing him unconscious near their home
Christmas night, the jury decided that
he had not met with violence. A Gal
linger Hospital physician testified that
death was due to pneumonia and two
fractured ribs.
Curtis was killed instantly Saturday
when he fell from the Department Of
Commerce Building.
