CHAPTER xxx

Heedless thls time of any danger to her self, Cilly rushed Into the bedroom and carefully investigated the open window, She knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that she had not opened 1t. Someone from the outside had reached over and pushed the window up, very quietly, SO that in the excitement of talking with Jim, she had not noticed. Why had 1t been done2
 No one had entered the room, That was certain. No one could have entered while she and Jim sat In the living room beyond, in full view of this window. Then why had it been opened2
 She closed the window, locked it this time. Perhaps the person intended to return by way Of the open window. But that would be sheer folly with c policeman in the apartment above, listening for any suspicious sound, such as the creaking of tho fire escape under c persons weight ..
 Suddenly, cilly saw tho reason for that window having been opened 50 stealthily,
 Tho man wanted to hear what was being said
 He might have recognized Jim seen him come to tho house. He might - oh, . thousand might- hAvesb beci1S The thing wag that he had heard tho entire case against him. Whatever suspicious had lurked in his mind were realities now.
 He had heard JlmS complete story. He had heard about the evidence against him in Amy's safety deposit box
 Oilly Stified a cry that came to her lips |. Jims life might Do plotted out any minute, even as had AmyS, He was in terrible dangori Sergeant DolanB case against him was c trivial matter compared to this new menace, The murderer was desperate now, eb0 ho would not have taken the chance on coming back here after having SO nearly been caught in tha apartment above. He would stop at nothing. And his only safety lay, in getting Amy's cVi. delco before Jim did
 1Ie would kill Jim to got itl
 
 Strangely, ciily did not realize at tho moment that she was In the same danger, since Jim had told her everything. All she could think of wac that Jim must Do warned, Somehow she must get to the Cans non Building before this man who had listened at the window
 If only Sergeant Dolan were here, to go with herI But she

 Breathless, she opened the door, Jim was trying Go pick out Amy's desk. according to tho position Oily had described, Ae spun around Co face her,
 "oillyl olllH darling, what's the troublep"
 "Jlm, I know who did itl He listened, Jim, he listened at my window while you were telling me about it, He'll be here any minute, I know 1t. He won't lot you get hold of that evidence, Jim, he'll kill youp
 Jim reached out, put his arms on her shoulders.
 "oilly, darling, calm down Q bit. You say you know who did it ."
 There was c sound, c sort of scuffling, out in the corridor, evi- dently. Jim ran to tho door, evidently. Jim ran to the door, opened it . few inches and snapped the lock, 50 that the door could not be opened from the core rldor.
 "ThOrel" he assured hor, "were safe for the moment. Cllly, toll me, who B itp Who B itp If I could only get my two hands on him ."
 "What do you think you'd do, my hero?"
 Simultaneously, oilly and Jim whirled to face this new voice The door of Harvey Ames' private office was open; Harry HutohinS stood on the threshold, covering them both with Q gun.
 There was the same old cock. sure smile on his lips, but hif hand never wavered as it ieveled the revolver ct them,

THE world StIll floats on tho = achievements of Capt. John Ericsson, Civil Wartime inventor and ship builder extraordinary,
 Tn all the history of naval prog. regS thcrO js no star brighter than EFiesSon's. No less than four times, his inventions Antlauated existing naval armament. Ho sub- Stitptod wrought iron ordnance with shrunk-on Jackets for cast iron and he superseded the Wlnds driven warshlp with the serew-, propelled vessel. He thereby placed tho American navy first and Tevolutlonized tho naVIes of the world.
 And Ericsson did more. He gave tho Union the strange little craft "Monitor" in an hour of great need in the Civil War and with that act once more reVolutIonized tho navlOS of tho world. He pro. dueed tho destroyer, 6 vessel with submarine gun discharged by compressed air, forerunner of the modern submarine.
 Critics labeled his Monitor "eheescbox on 6 raft" when t first slid down the ways but t gave historic battle to the ironelad ship Of the Confederaey. Similarly they Seoffed at his Princeton, first iron steamboat built in the United States with It's boilers and engines wholly below the water line. But Ericsson was successful, though perhaps "ahead of his tirne." He is honored with ( 1926 memorial stamp.

"Why does the cost Of Govern.
ment in the District of Column

SiStently?"
This question was put to the
Districts financial genius, Audi
tor Dan Donovan, who replied:
'The cost Of government IS
the sum total Of public demand.
The city increases in size an
nualIy; they demand more and
more service. When they de-
mand a school, the cost is not
only the outlay for the build
ing, but there is an annual in
crease for teachers and upkeep."

DC. REALTY TAX
T00HIGH, SAID
BLANT0N
BY EARL GOODWIN

On the afternoon of May 5,
1888, the former member of Con-
gress from Texas. Representative
Tom Blanton of Abilene, chairman
Of the subcommittee on District
Of Columbia appropriations arose
and delivered a scathing attack
on the real estate tax rate in the
District of Columbia, then $1.70
a hundred. He said it was a
shame that poor folks had to pay
such a tax on homes.
He was followed by no less a
weighty member than the late
Representative Buchanan of the
same Lone Star State, then chair
man of the influential committee
on appropriations. Mr.. Buchanan
also chided the District for a real
estate tax rate which these two
Texas members found to be much
too high for home builders and
home owners.
If the DistricS Commissioners
then Messrs. Reichelderfer, Crosby
and Gotwals-did not reduce this
rate to $1.50 per hundred. then,
these two influential Texans de-
clared, they would see to it that
the District bill they were discuss
ing would carry a legislative rider
reducing the tax rate by law!
Hint Is Taken
The commissioners took the
hint The tax rate was reduced;
and If anyone cares to follow the
downhill trend Of the Districts
financial affairs it will be seen
that the present chaos over dis
trict appropriations, deficits, taxes,
etc. started right then and there
on that fateful April S, 1888.
The effect of that reduction was
a total of $2,50O,O00 less revenue
yearly. With the added reduction
of the Federal contribution from
$500, 900 to 100000 year there
is a total loss from the old days of
$1,000, 900 in single year. Against
this the demands of a growing city
have increased necessary operat-
ing expenses a million dollars a
year.
q. S. Ignores Law
Meantime, for those who may
have forgotten it, there is a Fed
eraD statute still operative, but
violated annually by congress,
which provides that the Federal
contribution to the upkeep Of the
Capital City shall be 40 per cent
of the total cost; that is, the cost
of Washington, D. c., annually
shall be split 600.
Today, Washington, D. c., al
lost the only cash-and-carry town

off probably paylesS paydays for
its employees in August and there
after. BY dint of staving off a
creditor here and there, the Dis
trict'S paymaster may squeeze
through till August Is, but with
the present uncomfortable chaos
over District finances the assessor
cannot make up his rolls, the Com
missionerS cannot borrow money
unless Congress authorizes them
and in general there is a perfect
mess staring the National Capital
in the face.
Prison Offense
The Commissioners cannot Dor.
row a nickel nor can they increase
the indebtedness of the National
Capital by any bookkeeping skull
duggery or credit tricks. Who
ever does so, the organic act Of
1878 says, is liable to spend two
years in some Federal peniten-
tiary, in addition. to groaning
under a $4,000 fine. Every State
in the Union is said to have
granted their cities the right to
borrow when broke but the Ma
tional Capital could not even Dor
row the lush Public Works money
from Administrator Ickes with
out a special act of Congress au-
thorizing it.
In addition to having no Dor
rowing ability, the District has to
make up it's deficits as soon as pos
sible and that means that the first
dollars Of the 1898 fiscal year
must be plaStered on the deficit
