he said quietly, and they walked down
the little plankway outside of the
enclosure to the waiting car.
John Breen, coming up from the
tunnel with the last of the rescue
party, ran to the office. A vague
scent fingered owe his desk, ming''i
with the aroma of an Egyptian Gig
arctic. He stepped to the outside
door and peered into the dark. Down
by the curb was the limousine, and
he saw Josephine entering the car
with Rantoul. She was distant, ex-
quisite, her hair glowing beneath the
light in the car. She held Rantoul's
hand a wan smile, was ON her lips.
They rolled silently away.
John was utterly tired as he wash
ed the dirt and grease from his hands,
using a gray paste smelling of anph-
tina and filled with an abrasive grit,
a sort Of mechanics securing pomade
warranted to remove the most stub
born dirt. He was loosely jocular,
his nerves were under scant control.
He suddenly associated his cleansing
with Josephine and burst out laugh

Rantoul, not the engineer, but the
fnancer (he would always think Of

car John felt a bitter pang.
The engineers had come up, his
assistants were cleaned and gone

shaft was shut down-until mid
night. John did not go home, he
was too tired, TOO many matters of

he felt a vague dread of the streets,

of his foundations, his surroundings,
his thoughts. In a dozen homes wo-
men and children were sobbing, Sob

A chastened Josephine was leav-

A winter on the Riviera would do
her good. John had had a long talk
with Van Horn. 'I'm beating the
tunnel, Gill;" John said simply. He
looked so capable, so we'll. John was
confident, happy. He was entirely
too happy to be safe, especially with
a womhn like Josephine, who de-
manded suffering from Others.
But Van Horn looked sad, out Of

have shuddered at the sight of him.
The fact that Gerrit Rantoul had
taken passage on the same steamer,

had something. to do with the depres-

PAVING BILL
Times Staff Photo

Approving the general prin-
ciple, the District Commissioners
have suggested an amendment to
the street railway merger bill in
an effort to secure $350,000 an
nual relief to District taxpayers.
In a letter to the Senate Dis
trict Committee, the Commission
ers proposed the amendment by
voicing their objection to a
clause in the bill shifting the bur-
den of repaving between street
car tracks from the companies to
the District. Instead of relieving
the companies of three-fourthS of
initial cost of paving near tracks
and three-fourths of repaving
costs, the Commissioners propose
that only the firSt-named relief
be incorporated in the bill.
To give the companies the re-
lief as now outlined the Com
missioners argued. would throw
additional taxes of $350,000 on
local taxpayers, while the relief
as recommended by the city heads
will cost only $4,000 yearly.

former Ku-Klux Khan grand drag
on, in his legal fight to escape life
imprisonment, was blocked today
by the house of representatives.
Although Stephenson's name did
not figure in debate lasting nearly
two hours, several members of the
house were reported as secretly
branding the bill as a measure to
gain release for the former Khan
official.
The proposed bill would have de-
MED courts the right of discretion in
passing on appeals for bail, making
release of convicted prisoners man
datory on providing Of acceptable
bond.
Vote Is Sc to %
BY a vote of sc TO % the measure
was postponed indefinitely.
Voting against passage, Repre-
sentative John B. Kuespert DEM,
South Bend police chief, declared:
Il will resign Office tomorrow if
this becomes a law"
This bill would open doors of all
the prisons and turn thousands
of criminals loose on society, he
asserted.
School teachers and others on
public pay rolls who are making
$500 year will not have their SAL
airy cut under the amended salary
reduction measure passed by the
senate today.
But should they make 1901 year
they will be reduced to $74493.
This queer quirk was written into
the bill when it was on second read
ing in the senate today. Afterward
the rules we're suspended and the
bill passed by vote of 40 to 3.
Nejdl Puts Over Amendment
Senator James j. Nejdl RepD,
Whiting, put over successful
amendment which would retain the
$500 minimum salary for school
teachers, as approved by the senate
in a previous bill,
The flat per cent cut, provided
in the bill as revamped in the SEN
ate to include the Hoffman formula
for reduction, will not apply to that
group.
But as soon as 1901 is reached, the
5 per cent flat cut and formula both
apply.
Another amendment. which
would have put the two universities
and normal schools under the bills
provisions, was voted down.
