Effort to collect from railroads a percentage of the surcharge the city has paid since Sept. 1, 1917 on electricity used in 15S street lamps at railroad crossings will be made by the board of public works.

Last December the bill was $13,384.48 and surcharge $7,716.20. Surcharge averages about 50 per cent of the contract price.

OWED HOUSE y§ gOT MYSJERY^p^fr
Who had shot and killed the ne'er-do-well ROBERT ABLETT within two minutes after his arrival at The Red House, the country estate of his wealthy bachelor brother. MARK ABLETT? Robert's body was on the floor of the locked office, Mark was not to be found and. in the opinion of .Police Inspector Birch, it was clear that ! Mark, who had looked forward with annoyance to Robert's return from a fltteenI year stay in Australia, had Shot him and then disappeared. But there were mysterious circumstances, j The shot was fired a few moments before j ANTQNY GILLINGHAM, rentleman adventure and friend of BILL BEVERLEY, one of Mark’s puests, had i entered the hall where he found MATT CAYLEY. Mark's constant companion, pounding ou the door and demanding admittance. The two men enter the room through a window and find the body. Mysterious circumstances puzzle Antony. He and Bill investigate and Antony discovers that a secret passage leads from the house to a bowling green. Antony discovers Cayley using this to overhear a conversation between him and Bill. Anthony wanted to shout his applause. It was neat, devilish neat. For a moment he gazed, fascinated, at that wonderful new kind of cro-quet-ball which had appeared so dra- ' matically out of the box. and then I reluctantly wriggled himself back, i There was nothing to be gained by I staying there, and a good deal to be lost, for Bill showed signs erf run- | ning down. As quickly as he could j Antony hurried round the ditch and \ took up his place at the back of the | seat. Then he stood up with a yawn, stretched himself ar.d said carelessly, “Well, don’t worry yourself about it. Bill, old man, I daresay you’re right. Tou know Mark, and I don't; and i that's the difference. Shall we have a game or shall we go to bed?” Bill looked at him for inspiration, i and, receiving it, said “Oh, Just let’s ' have one game, shall we?" ! “Right you are," said Antony. But Bill was much too excited to take the game which followed very | seriously. Antony on the other hand, seemed to 'be thinking of nothing but bowls. He played with great | deliberation for ten minutes, and then announced he was going to bed. Bill I looked at him anxiously. “It's all right,” laughed Antony, j “You can talk if you want to . Just ; let's put ’em away first, though." They made their way to the shed, and while Bill was putting the bowls ; away, Antony tried the lid of the j closed croquet-box. As he expected, j it was locked. "Now then,” said Bill, as they were : walk.ng back to the house again, i “I’m simply bursting to know. Who j was it?" “Cayley/’ | “Good Lord! Where?* ' “Inside one of the croquet boxes.” “Don't be an ass." "It’s quite true. Bill.” lie told the other what he had seen. “But aren’t we going to have a look at it?” asked Bill in great disappoint- , ment. “I'm longing to explore. ! Aren't you?” "Tomorrow and tomorrow and to- , morrow. We shall seo Cayley coming ; along this way directly. Besides, I : want to get in from the other end. if I can. I doubt very much If we can do it this end without giving our- ; selves away. Look, there's Cayley.” They could see him coming along the drive toward them. When they were a little closer, they waved to him and he waved hack. “I wondered where you were," he said, as he got up to them. “I rather , | thought you might be along this way. • What about bed?” "Bed it Is.” said Antony. Bill left the rest of the conversa- I tion, as they wandered back to the j j house, to Antony. He wanted to think. There seemed to be no doubt j now that Cayley was a villain. Bill j had never been familiar with a vlllain before. It didn't seem quite fair of Cayley, somehow; he was taking j rather a mean advantage of his | friends. Lot of funny people there were In the world—funny people with j secrets. Look at Tony, that first time | he had met him In a tobacconist's j shop. But what on earth had Miss Nor-1 ris got to do with It? Miss Norris, who had proposed to catch an after-dinner tram at the Junction, ir. the obvious hope that she might have in this way a dra- j matic cross-examination at the hands J of some keen-eyed detective, was en- i couraged tactfully, but quite firmly, i to travel by the earlier train with the | others.
Why? Well, that question was not to be answered off-hand. But the fact that it was so had made Antony Interested in her. By sheer luck, as it seemed to him, he had stumbled on the answer to his question. Miss Norris was hurried away because she knew about the secret passage The passage, then, ha,d something Ito do with the mystery of Robert’s I death. Miss Norris had used It in order to bring off her dramatic appearance a's the ghost. Possibly she had discovered it for herself; possibly | Mark had revealed It to her secretly one day, never guessing that she would make so unkind a use of it later on; possibly Cayley, having been let Into the joke of the dressing-up, had shown her how she could make her appearance on the bowling-green even more mysterious and supernatural. One way or another, she knew about the secret passage. So she j must be hurried away. Why? Because if she stayed and talked, she might make some innocent mention of it. And Cayley did not want any mention of it. Why, again? Obviously because the passage, or even the mere knowledge of its existence might provide a clew. “I wonder if Mark’s hiding there,” thought Antony; and be went to sleep.

was made general consignee for all coal and he in turn was to draw bank drafts on the firm receiving the coal, delivery of the fuel to be contingent upon the payment of the draft for release of the bill of lading. Bulletins appearing to come from Washington, but which are coming from unknown sources, have been distributed throughout the country to the effect that priority has been granted for domestic coal shipped Into the State. These bulletins are false, McCardle said, and tend to mislead the public, as no priority for domestic coal will be granted until all classes of industry and State institutions, as mentioned in the first six ojlaissifioations of the original priority last, have been suppleid with fuel.
