All that you have to do is to accept the invitations you receive to I ventured. She laughed again, and it was hard for me to believe that it was :ndeed indulging in such an act such a horrible place?” “But I do,” I declared emphatically.

Owston.” I had been asleep for a few hours find the electric light turned on, and a figure leaning over the end of the bed. My visitor was wearing a black silk mask, completely concealing his face, and & hand of incredible steadi- ness was gripping an sutomatic, pointed directly at me. “Don’t move,” he said softly. Above everything, don't call out. Are you awake now?" “Yes,” 1 answered. “What do you lI:,':nt’ How the mischief did you get in ere?” “Don't be silly,” my visitor begged contemptuously. “You know who I am, right enough. I am Joseph. You can't seem to be able to lay your hand on me, so I've come to see you. I don't like the way you're drawing your knees up. If you move as much as a foot, T'll let daylight into you.” I decided to wait for a better op- portunity to assert myself. In the meantime I watched my visitor keenly. already two things had struck me. First that his cockney accent seemed scarccly natural; secondly that the dirty and neglected state of his hands was a little overdone. Underneath some smudges of black, I could see remark- ably well-manicured nails. “You want to know what I'm aner.l I suppose. Il tell you. I came after my girl. If I'd found her here, vou'd have been stiff by now. Where is she?"” “Search the place, if you think she's here,” I invited.

I've got another bone to pick with you though. You're Mar- tin Hews' new man, aren't you? You're after me, they say.” “And, so far as that is concerned,” I replied. “I shouldn't be surprised, Joseph, if I didn't get you.” “An excellent nerve,” he remarked approvingly. “I suppose you realize that your life is wobbling in the balance. I may pull this trigger at any second.” “Somehow or dther,” I said, “I don't remember to have heard of Joseph shooting unarmed man lying down.” “Pooh!” he scoffed. “That's nothing.

" ‘Then the room faded away and black- ness came. My awakening recollections were con- fused and fantastic. Smart, in most unpicturesque deshabile, was standing with his handkerchief to his mouth, gaping at me. A young man, with a black mustache and horn-rimmed spec- tacles, a few feet farther away, was smoking a cigarette, and I myself had come back to the world with a strong inclination to be sick. Both windows were wide open, although a drizzling rain was beating in. Furthermore, there was the most abominable smell in the room. “Capital!” the young man exclaimed. “Hope you don't mind my cigerrette. This chemical concoction of your friend’s makes the most ghastly stink I ever came across.” There seemed to be no reason why I should not be in another world, but I had & firm conviction that I was still in my bed, and also that there was very little the matter with me. “But_he shot me," I declared, sitting up. “The fellow with the black mask. 1 saw the flash, felt the stab just over my heart.” The young man nodded. “He shot you with a freak invention of his own,” he explained, producing what seemed to me to be a plece of | burnt wadding. “He apparently used | an ordinary pistol, but a specially made | cartridge. The wadding burst against your chest, and a small phial full of the most villainous dope broke against your skin. Naturally you went off pop— quaintest thing I ever heard of.

Building Industry Assurance Against Business Depression, Says Economist Special Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, Mass, June 20.—“The bullding industry appears to be one of the substantial assurances we have against business depression and one of the most buoyant and effective means of all the sustaining forces for national prosperity and high standard of living.” Harland H. Allen, Chicago economist, made this statement in an address on money conditions before the mortgage and finance division of the National il of Real Estate Boards, which concluded its annual convention here last night. “We may not have completely ironed out the business cycle,” Mr. Allen said. “But extremely high money rates pre- vail. Time money commands higher rates in New York than it has since 1920. Public financing of real estate and a new public standard for build- ings are strong element of balance in the business situation. X “Economic prophets in analyzing the outlook for the building industry must take into consideration the changed attitude of the public towards the obsolete bullding, whiéh today is dis- carded, just as obsolete machinery is discarded, and the demand of industry that its quarters be as modern and eficlent as its business technique and machinery. “Just as the modern structure has supplanted the bullding traditions of the past, so the financial needs and in- vestment methods in this construction era have also been recast and in a large part have supplanted the old time real estate banking habits. The public financing of real estate enter- prises has been one of the most pro- nounced and improved financial de- velopments of a decade. As late as the year 1919 real estate public financing totalled less than 2, per cent of the gross volume of corporate securities sold in the United States. “In the whole country only about | $57,000,000 of real estate borrowings were handled that year as publicly of- fered bond issues. But by 1928 this volume had increased almost 1,500 per cent to $809,000,000, and the total of real estate bonds rose to more than one-sixth of the publicly offered issues. In 1921 only about one-fortieth per cent of the new building permits in the United States were being financed through publicly offered bond issues. In 1928 over one-fourth of new build- ing permits’ were financed as mortgage bon In 1922 there were only about 55 public issues of real estate bonds in the million-dollar cls In 1928 there were 192 such issues. $500,000 PROPERTY INVOLVED IN TRADE ‘Wardman .
