the first steps in a, carefully laid campaign to frighten Mililicent into flight, or had some psychic sense really warned her of the impend- ing danger?
 Millicent left the subway at the 38th street station. A cheap hotel displayed an electric sign. She reg istered under an assumed namc. The clerk demanded cash in ad- vance. Millicent hesitated mo-. ment. then took the amount from the coin purse. After all, it would be in the nature of a loan.
 After a night of tortured dreams. interspersed with fitful periods of sleep, she awoke to face the day. A morning newspaper told her all that the police were willing to make public. It. was enough to make a damning case against her.
 Drimgold. 1t seemed, had tele. phoned someone whose identity was being kept secret by the po- lice and said that he was dictatine a confession to his secretary. The police knew, therefore, why Milli- cent had been working overtime. They had traced her moves from the time she left the tea room at 6:35, signed the register in the elevator and was taken to the 17th floor. The murder had been com mitted at between 6:15 and 6:45. The assistant janitor who discover ed the body had told the officers he had heard Millicent and her em-.

She tried to stop at the ground floor, but 1t was only after three attempts that she was able to bring the cage to a position from which she could open the doors. She sped across the lobby and out into the wind-swept dark ness. There was a subway entrance at the corner and she ran toward it, the wind whipping her clothes about her. As she entered the sub way, above the wall of the wind she heard the scream of a siren.
 It was not until after she had boarded the subway train that she suddenly realized her predicament She had fled from the scene of the murder. She dared not go home. She wanted only to get away from everything and everyone. Drimgold was dead. Her job had automat- ically terminated. She was without funds, save for the money which vas in the purse that had been sub- stituted for hers.
 She thought of that sinister for tea leaves by the gypsy fortune teller. She remembered the words. "The Murder Girl" and sickening horror gripped her, a horror which was shortly replaced by suspicion. Was it possible the gypsy fortune teller had been the one to substi- tute the purses?

 As she pushed her way through the swinging door, a broad-shoul-. dered man, entered through the other side of the door and went directly to the desk.

 Millicent felt strangely baked. helpless. She walked over to the telephone booths and called the tea room where she had dined that night.
 Striving to keep any excitement from showing in her voice, she said. "I'd like to speak to the gypsy fortune teller, please. Tell here it's quite important"
 ''Who is this talking?" asked woman's voice. f
 "You can tell her that it's just a friend calling" Millicent said.

The police had searched for Millicent's shorthand notebook in which they reasoned she must have written Drimg old E confession. They had searched in vain and now they were throwing out dragnet for Millicent. a drag net which was combing the city.
 She turned. and, controlling her steps by an effort, slipped unob- trusively through the exist to the street.
 It took all of her self-reliance to go without coffee. but she decided to do so. despite the dull ache which commenced to form back of her eyes.
 She went first to the department store where she had purchased the purse. -,

That person must have used Milli- cents keys to open the door cf the office. Drimgol in a desperate struggle for life. must have snatched at the purse the murderer was carrying and dumped its con- tents over the office.
 Blind, unreasoning panic seized the girl as she realized her pre- dicament. She turned away from tho window. rushed past the thing which lay on the floor. ran to the outer office and paused as she caught sight of the shorthand note- book which lay on her desk. This was the notebook in which she hac taken down in shorthand the first instaliment of Drimgold's confes- sion. Hardly realizing what she did, she snatched it up, clamped it under her arm and raced for the corridor.
 The elevator bell was ringing frantically.
 There was only one elevator run ming in the building. Millicent had taken the elevator to the upper floor. She knew that the assistant janitor and the police officer were ringing the bell. trying to get the elevator back down to the ground floor. She entered the cage, closed the doors, waited.
 After few moments the bell quit ringing and Millicent felt that the assistant janitor and the officer had either started up the long climb of IF flights of stairs or else had gone to the basement to put another elevator in commission.

 Washington, March 19-(UP)- The administration, meeting stub- born resistance in congress, em- parked today on a policy of legis- lation through compromise.
 The decision marked a definite turning point in the Roosevelt ad- ministration. Congress thus far has shown but little of the rub Der stamp" tendencies of last year.
 Faced with a balky senate and house the administration decided upon course of conciliation in pushing ahead with the more con- troversial parts of its program.
 House leaders, indicating a re- ceptive attitude, were ready to dis card some of the pending reform" legislation, if the administration gives the word, in order to hurry adjournment.
 Business would be better if if congress could complete it's labors and adjourn" Speaker Joseph w. Byrns said. "It would be helpful if we could postpone some legisla- tion.
 The first major indication of policy of conciliation was given when a compromise broke the senate deadlock over the work relief bill. Compromise probably, will enter into consideration of the social security program, MIRA, labor legislation and the Soldiers bonus.
 Byrns suggested the omnibus banking bill might be passed over this session, but said the McSwain bill to take the profits out of War may be put ahead. Present house plans are to consider the security bill immediately after the bonus is disposed of.
 Byrns predicted that with an appreciable speedup congress could quit by June 15. The house, he believed, might be ready by May 15.
 The present congress, carrying even greater new deal majorities than the 73d, which accepted White House dictation without question, has presented a serious problem to administration leaders.
 Defeated in the senate on the World court issue, the administra- tion found itself harassed by d combination of senate blocs which. constantly shifting, made the win ming of even bare majority diff cult matter.
 These blocs consisted Of little groups representing varied views. Some favored conservative prin- ciples; some were mildly liberal; others bore sharply to the left.
 The administration fought the situation for nearly month before finding way out of the work -re- lief jam by a compromise on the prevailing wage issue.

 Millicent slid the receiver back on the hook, turned and walked rapidly from the department store. So the gypsy woman had disap- peared. Perhaps. after all, it was the gypsy woman who had arrang- ed for the substitution of the purses.

AS VOLUME LAGS
Utility Issues Are Soft.
Federal Also Tends to
Move Lower.
BY G. A. PHILLIPS.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, February 16.-Light
trading and small price changes were
the rule on the bond market today.
Aside from softness in utility issues
and a dragging Government section,
. fairly steady tone prevailed in most
groups. although the turnover of
$5,64l 900, par value, was too small to
establish definite trend for the mar
ket as a whole.
The controversy over Federal legiS-
lation dealing with utilities made its
appearance in the days news again
with strongly worded statements by
executives of the American Water
Works and United Gas improvement
and contrary to the previous day.
when there was an active demand for
many light and power bonds at higher
prices, transactions in these issues
were effected at price concessions
ranging from minor fractions to q
point.
Among the losers were American
Water Works IS at rs. Consolidated
Gas SIPS at 1852. Laclede Gas SIPS
1T 81 and North American SIS at 85a4
With the exception of Home Owners
Loan IS there was very little activity
In the Government section where re-
cessions of 1872 to 3-32 were in the
majority among Treasury bonds and
Liberties. Home owners Loan IS
held unchanged at 101.6 and the 2s4 S
lost 4-32 at 99.4.
In the industrial section of the
corporate list small advances out
numbered the declines in the higher
priced issues. Santa Fe As were "a
higher at 104, Bethlehem Steel SIS
gained "a at 109 and National Dairy
5l4s advanced "a at l03. Others i'm
proving included obligations. of New
York Central Northern Pacific, Penn
sylvania and Standard Oil of New
York. The Associated Press averages
were unchanged at .03 of a point
lower
In the foreign section some i'm
provement occurred in both Govern
ment and private German obligations
and Chilean loans were steady, al
though there was some irregularity
In Argentine loans.
