Fifth District Stands Second.

At headquarters of the Federal Re
serve Board in this city it wss an
ncunced yesterday that preliminary fig
ures on the value of department store
sales show an increase from August to
September of somewhat less than the
estimated seasonal amount. The Fed
eral Reserve Boards index. which
makes allowance both for number CT
business days and for usual seasonal
changes, was "a in September on the
basis of the 1923-1925 average as 100,
compared with SO in August and 81 in
July.
In comparison with a year ago the
value of sales for September, according
to the preliminary figures, was IA per
cent smaller. The aggregate for the
first nine months of the year was 9
per cent smaller.
Percentage increases or decreases,

$4,000. 600 Bank Deposit Gain.

Elsewhere in the financial section Of
The Star appears a statement compiled
by Audley A. P Savage, auditor Of the
National Savings & Trust Co, showing
total deposits in all banks of Wash
ington on the date of the controllers
last call. dated September %.
It is IN interesting summary IN
which Mr.. Savage press MS the ngureS
for the three banking groups, national
banks, savings banks and trust COM
panies. Deposits are lower than on
the June 80 call, but are far ahead OF
the returns on the corresponding call
last year, on September "a.
The June 80 call came on Gov
eminent pay day, when the banks are
always filled with cash bv Government
workers, while the September call came
after large payments of personal and
real estate taxes. 1t is also stated that
considerable money has recently been
switched from bank accounts into in
vestments, the recent slump in stocks
having produced what were considered
unusual opportunities on the buying
side Of the New York and other
markets.
The analysis reveals the local banks
in splendid condition. This last call
fines aggregate deposits of the 80 banks
at $275, 1877, 827.46. compared with de-
posts a year ago on September "a
amounting to $265. zoe, 2oo.93. or a gain
in the past IL months of $10,081 1858,
an unuesuallv large yearly increase.

'September figures preIimnary' IN m"St
districts the month had the same NUMBER OF
business days this year and last year
It was the first time in many months
that any district has surpassed the local
territory in retail sales. The fact that
Boston and surrounding territory turned
a monthly decrease into 2 per cent
gain will cause general surprise. Con-
gratulations will also be in order.

To his amazement the drop was only two
feet. AS he came to stop, his feet on solid
rock Jason could not believe his good fortune
Almost afraid to look, he glanced downward,
and then the truth dawned upon him. He had
made the descent in safety. His knees sagged
beneath him, and as he sank to the ground
a girl watching him from the gorge burst
into tears A spring bubhed near and Jason
quenched his thirst found his boots and start

Far above the stupendous mountain range
he saw ominous clouds gathering They were
the first he had seen in Pellucidar He knew it
meant rain, but he could never dream the
awful proportions the storm would soon as
sumo. Far ahead of him Jana clambered up
ward. When she had seen JaSon's life in
danger she was full Of terrors and remorse
Now that he was safe, her mood changed and
she still sought to elude him. She had Just
gained the high trail leading over the gorge's
rim when the storm broke.

Cautiously Jason Gridley CROPPED for each
hand and foot hold. Hunger. thirst and IA
tigue were forgotten as he marshaled every
faculty to the bidding of his iron nerve /.
From short distance up the gorge two eyes
watched him from behind a pile OF tumbled
granite. There was anger in them at first,
then doubt, then surprise, and then terror.
And as the man slowly lowered himself the
eyes OF the GIRL wide with terror, never left him
for an Instant.

Hogging close to the face Of the steep cliff,
Jason did not dare look down. 1t seemed to
him that inch by inch he had lowered himself
and at last he reached a point where, grope
as he did in all directions, he could find no
foothold He could move neither one way nor
the other. He felt his fingers slipping. Then
the weight of his body tore loose that slight
grip from the knob he had clutched and Jason
Gridley dropped. believing his end had come.

tered, and went wonderingly to the
door. Bruce stood outside. He
seemed surprised to see Louise, but
came in at Mary's invitation, stop
ping Just within the door.
His indifference, reported by
Bowen was a mask, Mary saw with
a twinge of pity Little liking as
she had for the wilful, selfish young
man, she could not help feeling
of shame for her sex at seeing him
made to suffer so at the hands of a
woman of Louises sort
He came forward with head low
cred, eyes searching the faces of
the two women.
Il wish to ask some questions" he
said deliberately Louise tells me
you are in need of money!" He
looked at Mary as he spoke.
Louise started to rise, but he mo-
toned her back.
Sit down. You have told me
two stories. Now I'm going to find
out which is correct" Then to
Mary ""Well?"
Il was, but I'm not now Mary
said. But why? How does that
concern you?"
let?" He pointed. Mary did not
even turn her head to look.
"Of counsel" she said impatiently.
Bruce stared at her, then at the
family defiant, triumphant Louise.
Mary could guess what the count
ess' state of mind must be at this
unexpected confederation of her lie.
Without wasting glance on her,
Mary advanced on Bruce, taking
advantage of his momentary confu-
sion. 1t was not the answer he
had expected. That was clear.
WHY are you interested in my
w affairs suddenly?" she
asked. Really. 1 should have
thought you would be glad to hear
of my financial embarrassment"
You really did-borrow from
Louise?" he asked stupidity.
why shouldn't ~" Mary cried
In an exasperated tone She had
luck yesterday. / hadn't If she
is willing to share with me-"
Bruce stared-then laughed. The
tension that had held him taut as
spring when he came in was
broken by that laugh. Something
indefinably threatening went out of
the air.
You womenl" he said. "You
beat me. would have believed any
one who told me you'd sprung at
each others Threats, but that you'd
actually help each other out"
He paused-quick suspicion in
his eyes. Mary and the countess
exchanged a slow look which they
were careful to keep as expression
less as possible.
Wait a minute Bruce said
Perhaps I've swallowed this little
too readily. Perhaps you have had
time to arrange this before I came
in. Miss Hardness is merely back
ing up your story when the truth
is-quite different, perhaps?"
Bruce's eyes probed the countess
who flushed
That's enough" Mary answered
engrily. Leave my room, please!'
Presently. But flrst'-his voice
was like the crack of a whip-"if
that is Miss Hardness bracelet, give
1t to her"

II There was yelled appeal in the
look she threw at Mary. Mary held
out her hand smiling wryly, as if

MARY knew she must act quickly
N1if the bracelet were to be put
beyond his reach. She resolved to
go downstairs at once and put the
two objects in the hotel safe until
she could take item out to the
yacht.
Bates was coming down the cor
ridor as she stepped into the hall.
He looked hot, dusty and tired. She
remembered that she had not seen
him all day.

"Oh, out and around" he an

there. Come along and I'll tell you
