B—10 REA BUILDING STILL UP IN FIFTH DISTRIGT Washington Gains Continue. Baltimore and Richmond in Decline. Presenting detailed figures in its monthly review, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond reported this week that building permits issued in 31 cit- ies in the fifth Reserve district in Sep- tember totaled 2596, with estimated valuation amounting to $5,654,791, an increase of 30.3 per cent in number of permits in comparison with 1,992 per- mits issued in September, 1934, and a gain of 99.9 per cent over September, 1934, valuation figures totaling $2,- 28.696. Twenty of the 31 cities reported higher valuation figures for the 1935 month, but of the five largest cities only Washington, Norfolk and Char- lotte gained. Baltimore and Rich- mond reported lower totals for Sep- tember, 1935, than for September, 1934. Of the total increase of $2,826,- 095 in estimated valuation, Washing- ton accounted for $1,927,710, but some of the smaller cities showed much higher percentage increases.

Mrs. Simms’ wide-open gray eyes fastened on Sugar's face as she told her story. “When Mr. Langworthy said he would take my home and put my poor husband and children out without a roof over their heads, I hated him. In all my life I had never done a wicked thing. I knew I could not ap- peal to his hard heart. So I told him I would take the baby and leave it on the steps of the orphanage. “But when I went back up to the attic and saw the poor little thing lying there so tiny and helpless, I couldn’t do it. I thought of its poor mother downstairs, probably dying | without the care of a doctor and I | couldn’t bear to take the only thing she had to live for from her.” The old nurse shuddered violently, as if with a nervous chill.

Mrs. Simms wet her lips and con- tinued in a flat, lifeless monotone. “That night I went into the nursery downstairs to take care of the Lang- When I picked it up I was startled by the resemblance be- tween the two children. They were like twins. Both had red hair and blue eyes. Even their size was so close no one could tell the difference by just picking them up. “It was just like a voice had whis- pered in my ear and told me to take Mr. Langworthy’s baby to the orphan- | age instead of the Peters baby.

But no one interrupted. Mrs. Simms’ hands fluttered in her lap. “Mr. Langworthy had driven to town and wasn't back yet. No one was in the house but Mrs. Peters and Mrs. | Langworthy and me.

Your name is Zanie Lou Langworthy.” Sugar’s head whirled dizzily as she realized that was the truth. Why— Zanie Lou wasn't Zanie Lou at all. She, Sugar Friddle, was Zanie Lou.

It took Sugar and Mother to get her into the bed. Miss Friddle hurried back to Jane Lee and left the nurse «n Sugar's care. It was strange, Sugar thought. as her senses began coming back to her, that she could not hate the woman. She had stolen her from her home and taken her to an orphanage to grow up unknown and unwanted. But in Sugar's heart there was nothing but pity. Tenderly she bathed the old wom- an’s face and stroked her thin wrists. After a long time her color began coming back, and she opened her eyes. “You're good,” she said wearily “Why don’t you hate me?” Sugar shook her head pityingly. “You didn’t mean to do wrong.
