Moving cautiously, Pan-at-lee reached the
base of Kor-ul-luls cliff. About noon, she
found a comparatively easy ascent and at last
stood upon the brink of Kor-ul-gryf, the hor-
ror place Of the folklore Of her race. Dark
and mysterious grew the vegetation below and
over all brooded an ominous silence. Flat on
her belly she stretched over the edge and
n the cliff-face below. She could see
caves here and the stone pegs which the an
clients had fashioned so laboriously by hand.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN Continued
She was tired and she was COM
ing home. She was glad " that
she was not that night to see Larry
Harrowgate.
Tonight she wanted only Myra
and her mother and baby Mike with
loyal, stodgy Bert serving as a COM
Portable background.
A leisurely supper, afterward q
bath and maybe a shampoo If she
felt like it-a delightful way tc
spend an evening, thought Ellen.
She reached the fifth floor, un-
locked the door and stepped into
the Rossiter living DON She
stopped at the threshold, gasped.
What had happened to that be-
loved familiar room? Since morning
1t had changed s~tartlingly, miracu-
lousy. Everything about it had been
changed. The worn carpet was
gone. The floor had been polished
and was covered now with summer
scatter rugs.
The familiar contour Of the furni-
ture was lost beneath smart slip
covers in gray and orange. Curtains
OF the same gray and orange mate
rial futtered at the windows.
New pewter ash trays twinkled
from the mantel cleared for once
of Mikes school books. A new
bridge lamp bloomed beside the easy
chair. Everywhere were flowers.
What happened? AS she ran into
the dining room, Ellen thought con-
fusedly that perhaps her English
grandfather had died and remem-
bered them in his will. Perhaps
the dreams Tat colored her child
hood had at last come true.
TN the dining a colored maid
Il polished heavy silver finger
bowls. The table, decked in new
linen, Haunted a centerpiece made
of Steven Barclays roses, tall and
splendid in a silver vase.
New rugs and curtains here, too.
The maid glanced at Ellen, exposed
white teeth.
What are you doing here?" the
girl demanded in establishment.
Il wuk here"
Ellen dashed into the kitchen.
The kitchen was not changed. Molly
turned around from the stove and
smiled at her.
Were you surprised, honey?" she
asked in a gale of merriment and
high spirits.
What in the world has happened
anyhow"
We're giving you your chance
that's what's happened" Molly
croWed.

nothing. There was pate, there was

There were artichokes and ava

that never should have been in

RETURNS FROM
WANDER|NGS
Alan Gruver Dazed in Fatal
Crash Feared He Would
Be Held Responsible

After a months absence
and 1000 miles Of wandering,
Alan Gruver, 19-year-old
Hyattsville high school boy,
was welcomed back by his
family last night.
Alan wandered into the woods
near Fairfax, Va, after the auto
mobile accident in which his
mother was killed and his father
seriously injured.
Afraid to Go Home
The boy was driving the Cru
yer automobile when the acci.
dent occurred and said on his
return that he thought his family
would hold him responsible for
his mothers death and that he
was afraid to go home.
Following the crash, Alan told
police, he hitch-hiked his way to
Jacksonville, Fla, begging food
along the way. Friday he re-
turned and slept on his fathers
farm until Monday. He said that
he slipped into the house several
times for food and clothing but
that he carefully concealed his
presence from his family.
Recognized on Street
A passerby yesterday told po-
lice he had seen Alan sitting in
a parked car in front of the
Strayer's Business College on
Thirteenth Street Northwest. De-
tective Sergt. Gene Davis came
and took the boy to headquarters,
where his family was summoned.
Alan's family said today that
the boy seemed happy to be back
but that he still seemed dazed
as a result Of a blow on his head
received in the accident.
Ira K. Gruver, Alan's father,
is still i'll from injuries received
in the accident.

HECHT'S ANNOUNCES DISTRICT DAY SAL

Which Brought In
Record Crowd
MRS. HOGUE

I'VE have found that the Wash
ington public will respond to the
right kind of newspaper adver
tising in even greater numbers
than they ever have in the past,
said Alexander Hecht, vice presi
dent of the Hecht Company, to
day.
"FOr instance, the response
to our advertising section in last
weeks Washington Times for
81 Day brought in the largest
number of people to our store
that has ever passed our doors
in a single day since the store
has been opened. 1t is interest
ing to note that we deposited
more 81 bills in the bank on
that day than at any time in
our business career. If there
were any boarded dollars last
week, we believe that we
brought them out Of hiding.
ID. C. Day Tomorrow
"Retail institutions are now
going through a period Of read
justment. Merchants are faced
with the alternative of either
reducing their cost Of doing bus
mess by contraction or, to main.
tain their present expenses and
increase their volume.
Secure in the knowledge that
we have the largest stock OF
merchandise at new low prices
than we have ever had, and
confident of the future Of our
business, we have chosen the
latter method by adopting an
aggressive prOmOtiOnal policy.
With this in mind, we are plan

a larger scale than we have
ever attempted before.

the Blue Ridge Securities Com
pany owing the Central $1,792,-
1922 and the Capital Securities
Company owing $2,375,569.36.

The court sustained objections
to questions by the defense as to
whether anything was said at
this meeting to Coblentz, or in
his presence, to the effect that
the Central Trust Company was
then insolvent.
Referring to a meeting between

made that the bank was insol-

were asked to put up money to
aid the Central Trust, and they
refused.

LESTER GIVES
OPINION ABOUT
BRIDGE MATTER
HE FEELS NOTHING
WILL BE HEARD RELATIVE
TO SECURING FUNDS FOR
AT LEAST TWO WEEKS

when we will get the money
for the bridges is impossible fo1
me to say but / do not think we
will hear anything about that for
at least two weeks" is the opinion
expressed this morning by Attor-
ney ]. Lancelot Lester who re-
turned from Miami Saturday
night.
Mr.. Lester said that the last
part of the week H. H. Taylor, at
torney for the Overseas Bridge
Corporation, came from Washing
ton to Miami on business and af-
ter a brief stay left for the cap
ital.
In conversation with Mr.. Lester,
Mr.. Taylor said that at the time
he was in Miami the matter of the
loan was. still being considered by
the engineering board of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
He said that to forecast when
the final decision of the body will
be made is an impossibility. He,
however, feels that the Dade and
Monroe county project is one OF
the kind that comes up to all re-
quirements and demands as set out
by the federal organization and is
confident that the loan viii be ul-
timately granted.
