she had just picked up the revol-

the scene?"
Again there was that silence.
Then Lady Angkaten asked:
us that what Gerda says?"
eyes"
It was not a simple assent. It
|had force behind it. It came out
like a revolver shot.
Lady Angkatell raised her eye
brows, then she said with appar-
ent irrelevancy:
There are sandwiches and COT
fee in the dining zoom."
She broke off with a little gasp
IS Gerda rChristow came through
the open door. Gerda said hurried
~ and apologetica1iy:
I'll really didn't feel I could
lie down any longer. One is-one
is so terribly restless"
Lady Angkateu cried:
"You must sit down-you must
sit down at once"
She displaced Nudge from the
sofa, and settled Gerda there, put
a cushion at her back.
"You poor DEAR" said Lady
Angkatell.
She spoke with emphasis, but
the words seemed quite meaning
less.
Edward walked to the winJow
and stood there looking out.
Gerda pushed back the untidy
hair from her forehead. She spoke
in a worried, bewildered tone:
II really am only just be-
ginning to realize it. You know !
haven't been able to feel still
can't feel - that it's rea4-that
Johns dead" She began TO
shake a little. Who can have
killed him? Who a possibly
have killed him?"
Lady Angkatell drew a deep
breath-then she turned her head
Sharply. Sir Heury's door had
opened. He came in, accompanied
by Inspector Grange, who was a
large, heavily built man with a
down-drooping, pessimistic mus
tache.
This is my wife-1nspector
Grange"
Grange bowed and said:
81 was wondering, Lady Ang-
katell, if l could have a few words
with Mrs. Christow-"
He broke off as Lady Angkateil
indicated the figure OF the sofa.
Mrs. Christow?"
Gerda said eagerly:
Eyes, 1 am Mrs. Christow."
II don't want 10 distress you,
Mrs. Christow, but l would like to
ask you a few questions. You an,
If course, have your solicitor
present if you prefer it"
81: Henry put in:
1T is sometimes wiser, Ger
da-"
"a solicitor? Why a solicitor?
Why should a solicitor know any
thing about Johns death?"
Inspector Grange coughed. Sir
Henry seemed about to speak,
Henrietta put in:
THE inspector only wants to
know just what happened this
morning."
Gerda turned to him. She spoke
in a wondering voice: !
ut seems all like a dream-not
real. IL haven't been able to cry
or anything. One just doesn't feel
anything at all"
Grange said soothingly:
That's the shock, Mrs. Chris
tow"
Eyes, yes-I suppose it is. . '.
But you see it was all SO sudden.

along the path to the swimming
pool"
"At what time, Mrs. Christow?"
"It was just before one o'clock
about two minutes to one, I
know, because I looked at that
clock. And when I got there
there was John, lying there-and
blood IN the edge Of the con-

did you hear 4 shot, Mrs.
Christow?"
"Yes-no-I don't know. I knew
Sir Henry and NJ. Angkatell were
out shooting. I I just saw
John"

Most of Area to Stoy
Non-CommerciuIo on
Washington Street

The Alexandria City Council last
night refused to establish extensive
commercial coming along Washing
ton street after plea had been
made for it to live up to an agree
ment with the Federal Government
when the Mount Vernon Memorial
highway was built through the city.
Action was taken to establish
"D-2' commercial zones in two of
six blocks closest to King street, but
few changes are anticipated as a re-
suit. The council refused to rezone
the four other blocks in the area.
Those changed were the west side
of the 200 block of South Washing
ton street, already occupied by the
Alexandria Hospital at the south
end and the MCGUIRE House-used as
an office building-at the other end,
and the west side of the 100 block
of North Washington street, prin-
cipally occupied by historic Christ
Church and its graveyard.
Vote. Split S to 4.
Voted down were changes for the
east side of the 200 block of South
Washington street, both sides of
the 200 block of North Washington
street and the east side of the 100
block of North Washington street,
opposite Christ Church.
A sharp division occurred when
the first rezoning change was turned
down, the vote being S to with

From Sidewalk to
Crowded Council

So crowded was the Alexan-
dria City Council meeting last
night that some of those who
appeared were recognized and
addressed the city's governing
heads from the sidewalk out
side.
At one point Attorney Ber-
nard Gagleston spoke for more
than five minutes in opposition
to an application of Attorney
Armistead Boothe for rezoning,
only to learn that the Council
was not studying the matter in
which he was interested.
Later, Gardiner L. Boothe
represented his client by putting
in an appearance from the side

uel Luckett, Charles L. Nash and
Edward Downey favoring the re-
classification to commercial use.
H. E. Cunningham, counsel fol-
the Bureau of Public Roads, cited
an agreement of June, 1929. in
which the city agreed to maintain
residential and business zones in
keeping with the dignity of the
Mount Vernon Memorial highway
He said the agreement was not in
tended to restrict the street to resi-
Dental use providing the memorial
character of the boulevard was
maintained.
Gardiner Boothe, attorney, de-
clared it the city's moral obliga-
tion," to live up its agreement with
the Government.
Says City Must Expand.
Mr.. Nash, who inaugurated the
rezoning changes at previous
meeting, told one of the largest
crowds ever to attend a council
meeting that no city the size Of
Alexandria has a one-street bust
ness district such as King street
The city must expand and attract
business if it is to continue to meet
its obligations, he declared.
Mr.. Nash cited a current budget
of nearly $2,50O,000, the need for 6
similar amount for a school building
program and like amount for 8
sewage disposal plant to end pollu-
ton of the Potomac River as reasons
for attracting more business to the
city. Current revenues, however
will bring in only about $3.50 more
than the budget figure. he added.
Mrs. Daniel E. Kerbel was named
to the School Board to succeed Sid
ney We'll, resigned. Her appoint
ment as the first woman to hold
the post in more than Is years was
by a 5-to-4 vote.

tween Patrick and Fayette streets

and Fairgrounds. Other purchases

West, Montgomery and Madison
streets as part of site for col
ored high school and playground.
The city manager was authorized
to exceed a budget item by moi
more than $4,000 to meet expenses
at the city repair shop.
The council entered an agreement
with the Alexandria Library Asso-
citation to take over maintenance

institution was built with private
funds and has received valuable
collections from private libraries.
