REAL REALTOR OUTLINES INDUSTRY METHOD $ays Grouping of Plants in Special Subdivisions Has- tens City Development. The way in which industrial devel- epment of a city may be hastened by means of ready-made “industrial sub- divisions"—some of them with build- ings actually constructed, ready for the industrial plant to move in—was de- scribed by J. C. Erickson, Chicago, at | n meeting of industrial real estate spe- ESTATE.

However, she pretended to accept the explanation, and sald she was sorry. “What was it you were saying?” he asked. “That some trunk of yours had been stolen?” “Yes,” she said, “while T was out at lunch. At least I think that's when it When I went back to the studio after lunch, about 2 o'clock, I found it ‘ent home after lunch, did y d, with a sharp look at her. kind of hours do you keep on your job? “I had this afternoon off,” she told hll]m T didn’t go back to the paper at all. “Well, then,” he demanded, “how did you get my message that you were to come up here and“sce me " She hadn't forseen the question, and her instinctively truthful answer was, T didn't.” “Well,” he persisted, “how did you know who I was or where I lived? What did you come here for?” She could see that he was getting | frightened again. She was no longer afraid of him. He'd revealed himself to | P} her so far as a contemptible compound of vulgarity, meanncss and cowardice. Nevertheless, since she was satisfied it wasn't he who had stolen her trunk, she thought he might be useful as an ally in getting it back. So she made her answer as Irdel.ssurlng and conclliatory as she could. She smiled at him as she said: “It's rather complicated. I came here without having planned to, and I was surprised when I found you were expecting me. I didn’t know anything about you until last night. Even then I hadn’t decided to answer the advertisement. I didn’t connect you with my father, you see, nor know that you'd been his friend. Well, last night I got a letter, from a woman I'd never heard of before, ask- ing me to lunch with her today. She said she’d known my father well and | had something very important to talk to me about. I went to lunch with her to find out what it was. What she seemed mte& ed in was my father's papers, er he'd left any and whether I had destro; them. I told her I hadn't; I'd kept them all together in a trunk. She said she'd given him a letter to keep for her and now she wanted it back. She suggested that I take her home with me—to my room, you know—and let her help me find it. I told her that that wasn't necessary, but that I'd find it for her if T could. When I said that, she excused herself to go out and telephone. ‘When she came back, she kept talking and ordering more food, so that I *12,000 pantry The lot is beauti- B e 1] 1004 Vt.

Now, at her first, pause, he barked out, “Who was this woman?” “She told .me,” Rhoda answered, “that her name was Claire Cleveland.” A sudden suffuson of blood in his face turned it purple. He beat feebly, but fu- riously, upon his desk with a loosely clenched hand. you've joined up with her, have you?” he sald. “I haven't joined up with her at all,” Rhoda retorted, “I've just been telling you I think she stole my trunk.” “Whas if she did?” he snarled at her. “What's that got to do with me?” “Of course, I don't know,” Rhoda ad- mitted, “that it has anything to do you quite a lot at lunch—after she'd come back from the telephone, that is. She said she'd seen your 'ment for me in the newspape: He pounced upon her here with a uestion, “My advertisement? How id she know it was mine? It wasn't signed. Come to that, how did you know yourself?" “A friend of mine on the paper out for me,” Rhoda said. “But wrong in saying that Claire knew. She said she thought it probably was you.' “Call her Claire, do you,” he com mented, “when you never saw her be- fore toda: This slip had rattled Rhoda. She'd been aware of it as it left her tougue. ‘She asked me to call her that,” she explained, “and I do, though I hated to, because I hated her. And the real reason I came to see you was because she urged me so strongly not to. I thought she must have some reason of her own for not wanting me to come.” It was plain that he didn't think much of this explanation. “What rea- sons did she give,” he demanded, “why you shouldn't answer the ad—suppos- ing it was mine?” “She said,” Rhoda told him steadily, “that you'd been the cause of all her She said you were a terrible son. He broke in with an ugly laugh. “And. on the strength of that, you thought you'd come.” . Rhoda felt her face burning and found I was obey her or not. butrshe answered the sneer as if it har been a real question. “I thought she was Ivin, I didn't this morning when vou took us down to work in your car.” ‘How did you know that was me?” “She said you walked with two canes and I'd seen them in the corner of the limousine.” He dismissed that explanation with a mere snort of contempt. “Well, go on,” FOR SALE Warehouse Property WITH RAILROAD SIDING 5th and V Sts.
