down the angry sobs in her throat,
"that you hated the sight of me; but
you have no right actually to tell me

Doctor Dulany planted himself
directly across the path, so that she

around him.

"What is it to you ?'' she cried,

She stopped suddenly, with Grim

"It is false - said Geralda hurri-

Il might even venture to say
more," he pursued, his eyes fixed in
tently on her face.
"Say it. them" she whispered,
making no effort to withdraw the
hand which he had taken.
"Well," he returned, laughing,
Il love you. Is that definite,

And 1 love you !" she answered,
"Oh, Doctor Dulany, you must have

put the best face on that is possible and
stand him off il we can. Right here
let me find little fault. Is it right, is
it justice and is it law to compel tran
s!ent men. men VINO cannot get above a
dollar day. to pay a road tax of four
dollars? Those of Us who have TO
property. and working men seldom
have. are obliged to pay the Assessor
four dollars in coin. He will not even
allow us to work it ont on the road,
although men who have property can
work out theirs and get two dollars 9
day for it. But we poor strangers. who
have to do four hard days work for as
many dollars, must come up with the
coin. We would rather work three
days than pay out the money. Besides.
We have no roads. If we wish to go to
Seattle. we have to depend upon the
boats oil except couple of months or
90 10 the year. Why make q working
man pay so much more in proportion
than any one else? Is not that law
framed for somebody's interest Of
course none of us can afford to test its
legality. and doubtless the authors of
the law thought 90 when they framed
it. Undoubtedly we have the poorest
roads and pay the largest tax of any
place in Uncle Sans dominion.
Enough for the present. We've got

more ere long. CULTUs.
