New Bill Will Grant
d. C.. Teachers Leave

Educational leave for teachers will
be one of the important issues for
discussion tonight at the Teachers
Council meeting in the Franklin
School.
This bill of leave has been intro
duced in Congress by the legisla.
tive committee of the Board of
Education for the purpose of grant
ing teachers leave OF absence from
their work at the discretion of the
board, with no material cost to
the board.
The proposed plan states that the
teacher is to be given his longevity
allowance during his leave, and the
temporary successor will receive the
basic salary.
In this way there is no actual
expense to the Government, and at
this evenings meeting the council
will give further consideration to
steps that will promote the bill.

From Rochester, Minn., comes
this:

The. way to meet the situation
1s to increase the capacity of
the plant and the sale of the
product. If this cannot be done
and the worse comes to the
worst, then the president should
cut down the time and pay of
the men. This would he much
better than to turn the old man

dropped, fell on his knees,
picked himself up, crouched
back in the shadow Of the
building near where he had
fallen, with some thin, sickly
looking bushes acting as a
screen.
He was breathing hard,
but he did not dare ven
ture into the open. By this
time the cops would have
surrounded the place. He
heard the faint uproar, the
sounds of the crowd that
had gathered. He gritted
his teeth. Well, the chances
were against him. He
thought of Beebe, and of all
the things he mad dreamed
Of, and longed for. He
thought Of that unknown
man who had first framed
him, who was the cause Of
all his misery. Better any
thing than go back to wis
on. He'd let them kill him,
if he couldn't get away.
A door in the rear Of the
building suddenly opened.
Two policemen, their guns
in their hands, came out in
the yard.

able to pick out the panel
Immediately. He tried it
cautiously at first, then with
a sudden sharp lunge sent it
flying open. He gripped his
automatic more tightly.
There was a grin on his
broad red face. He motioned
Kelley to follow him.
Biff Myers stepped inside,
flashed his light on the lad
der leading to the attic.
"All right, Doyle!" he
shouted. "The jig's up.
Come on down, and come
with your hands in the air. "
There was a dead silence.
"You hear what I'm tell
ing you, Bltf called, after
that dead pause. You
amt got a chance. "
Still no sound broke the
silence. Biff nodded to
Kelley. He gripped his auto
matte tightly. He was no
coward. He climbed up the
ladder first.
Kelley heard his exclama-
ton before he could join
him. When he did, he saw
for himself a sight that
froze him. He had not been
on the force long enough to
take things like this in the
matter-of-fact way of Biff
Myers.
The two officers stared at

discovered his body was
gone.
He deliberated for an In
slant only. He had to take
the chance. Crouching low,
he raced forward. Ten feet
away from the chimney, the
unobstructed roof threw
him into sharp relief against
the sky. He could see the
lights of stores down be-
low, and the tops Of the
cars.
Then there came to his
ears a sound that told him
he had been seen already.
A police whistle sounded
shrilly. He saw the flash
of a gun. Bending as low
as he dared, he ran to the
edge of the roof, cleared it
with one bound. Here the
line Of the roof hid him
once more.
Bobby Doyle stopped
down. He saw the project
ing funnel Of a rain pipe.
He caught it with his hands,
and began to lower himself,
finding a foothold for his
feet now, dangling above
the ground with his arms
aching, his hands blistered.
But the ground drew

But Biff was looking at
that still figure with the
detached interest of science.

his nerve. He must have
heard we were coming for
him. Well, Kelley, get a

The siren that had cleared
the way through traffic was
turned off long before they
rode up Tenth Avenue. Biff
Myers did not want to
broadcast his coming in that
fashion. He parked the big
car on the opposite side of
the street, and ordered his
men.
As they crossed to the
shabby house where Johnny
had his room, a little curl
Gus crowd collected, and
stood outside to stare up at
the building.
Biff left two of his men
below, who ordered the
crowd to move on. With
the rest, he cautiously
climbed the stairs until they
reached Johnny's room.
In the darkness he fun
bled for a skeleton key, and
with his gun thrust out
straight before him, opened
the simple lock. He struck
q match, lit the gas, turn
ing back to caution Kelley
and Tommy, who followed
close on his heels.
But though they walked
on tiptoes, the rough floor
ing creaked under their
weight.

they lifted the bed away
from the wall. Getting down

It was a tale of the French
revolution, the account of q
loyad servant and hunted
nobleman. The reign of
terror was taking its daily
toll. The sharp knives of
the guilotine knew daily vic
Tins. Into the house of the
aristocrat, there came the
officers Of Robespierre.
The servant had worked
with rapid fingers, tied a
rope under his. masters
chin and jaw, lifted him,
bound the loose end of the
rope over a beam. The SER
wants of the guillotine had
departed frustrated, but
satisfied. The aristocrat
and his servant escaped at
nightfall, and slipped aboard
a sailing ship bound for
America.
The little story had
made an impression on
Bobby's mind-because he,
too, was hunted like that.
He had been thinking about
it when he had heard those
hea. y footsteps. He knew
without thinking twice that
his hiding place had been
detected,
He threw a wild look
around the attic. Then be-
cause he did not know what
else to do, he gambled on
the idea of the story he
had just read.
While Biff and his men
were making their slow,
stealthy preparations to sur
prise him, Bobby had torn
his blanket into strips with
feverish fingers, strung
himself up, and fooled even
the astute Myers!
The instant they had gone
down the ladder, he had
unwound the blanket-rope
from his face, dropped softly
to the floor, and sped for
the dormer window. 1t was
a long reach, but he threw
his body into the air, caught
at the sill by his finger tips,
and drew himself up to the
edge.
In three minutes more he
was on the roof. He hid
behind the chimney. Below
him was a dismal yard.
Across the irregular roof,
were other roofs, separated
by a yawning gap of sew
eral feet.
But if he once made his
way across there, he could
be seen from the street. On
the other hand, if he re-

move on you. We gotta
send for the medical ex-
aminer.''
They made their way to-
gether down the ladder.
When they had reached
Johnny's room, they saw
they had been joined by In
spector Wilmot.
"The dope was right, In
spector," Biff said. "He's
there"
"There?" Wilmot asked.
"He beat US to it. Hung
himself. Phone the coroner S
office, Kelley
Inspector Wilmot shook
his head. Hung himself,
Ell? Poor kid. Well, let s
have a look at him. "
Biff guided, the way.
When Biff had reached the
top of the ladder, he turned
his flash downwards so that
Wilmot could see his way.
When Wilmot had reached
the attic, the flash was,
turned on the room itself.
Biff Myers rubbed his
eyes. He looked like a mad
man in his utter bewilder-
ment. There was no sign of
anyone in the musty attic
room. The strips of blanket
dangled idly from the
rafters. But the body these
strips had seemed to hold
had vanished.
you're a fool, Myers, !"
said Inspector Wilmot
quietly.
"1'he kid tricked me. He
was hanging there-Kelley
saw him, too. I thought"
Wilmot was not even lis
tening to Biff's shamefaced
explanations. He strobe to
the single dormer window.
1t was open.
From down below there
rose a sudden clangor, a po-
lice whistle blowing shrilly,
shouts, and suddenly an au-
tomato spattered a rapid
series Of shots.
"You stay where you
are, " Wilmot ordered Biff,
adding even in this moment
of confusion, and if any
dead ones come walking in
here, just arrest 'em first,
and find out if they re dead
afterwards. F"
Inspector Wilmot> vanished
through the panel.
Bobby Doyle had tried to
pass the time after Beebe S
brief visit by reading a mag
azine, the contents of which
he already knew. Then he
had found one story that he
had previously skipped.
