The tomb was closed that night for repairs. Nevertheless, I finished him—privately, painfully, but properly. I fed him to the tigers in the Zoo on pay-day, Most everybody applauded the act. The papers rung with my name. I wasn’t even called to trial for my little lethal escapade. Old Gus Public said that it was a good thing, that my victim was a 14-carat skunk and had got what was coming to him. True, there were some captious critics who advo- cated capital punishment for the deed I had done, but the vest majority agreed that it seas the best last chapter I ever serote. Real Estate News from Washington By Foster Warr A important transaction involving one of the choice mansions in the exclu- sive residential district of Washington is about to be consummated.

According to reports in well-in- formed realty quarters, the mansion is about to be placed on the market. The present tenants, it is understood, are planning to vacate the premises upon the expiration of their lease, March 4, 1921. One report has it that the building is to be remodelled into a number of small apart- ments to accommodate the large number of would-be tenants who have made known* their desire to reside in that part of Wash- ington. This, however, is authoritatively denied. The building will continue as in the past to be used as a private dwelling. Because of the great demand, little dith- culty is expected in obtaining a desirable future occupant. The owner is said to be looking around for a tenant of good character and national reputation, who not only will find the atmosphere of the national capital congenial but can be relied on to sign a four- year lease on the property with the custom- ary privilege of renewal on the same terms for another four. No indication as to the identity of the next tenant is as yet forthcoming. Because of its unique locetion and equipment, however, it can be stated that the building is certain to be taken bv some one high in the national Government Obscurity “He seems like a very bright man; but I aever heard of him before, did you?” ever.
