Yes, 1t Is Land.

A highly interesting exposition OF
the policy of taxing personal property
is in the case of the trotting horse AK
tell, out in Indiana. He is the highest
priced piece of horse-fesh in the world,
having been sold for sos, 200 when he
was three years old. Since then, as
the head of large breeding stud, he
has shown that he was well worth
every cent of his price and more. Yet
the valuation put upon him by the tax
assessor was very reasonably what
might be put on any good horse-S50o.
But the dissatisfied economists in his
neighborhood are protesting that he
must be taxed, not on the general prin-
ciple applied to horses, but with regard
to his great and manifest value.
Whereupon the owners of AxteI, not
being oppressed with idiocy, replied
that il that should be attempted, they
would take the horse out OF the state,
and the advantage of his presence,
which is by no means trivial, would DO
lest. The best and surest subject OF
taxation Is the thing that perforce stays
in one place. that il land IN. y. Sum.

a Taxation Tendency.

The tax rate in New York city for
1891 has been reduced OF per cent. 1t
was $197 in 1890, and this year it is
S1.9o. This is not really new depart
ure, for the rate for 1890 was a reduc-
ton from that of 1889. This decrease
of rate indicates, not decrease in pub
lie expenditure, but an increase in as
sessed valuation The total assess ed
valuation is greater than in 1890 by
$sS, s7S, 94S. This is very largely due to
a rise in the assessment valuation of
vacant land. Until two years ago a
marked distinction was made between
the valuation of vacant and improved
lands in favor of the former. The as
sessments of improved real estate f1uctu-
ated around 60 per cent. of actual value,
while vacant land was assessed at figures
that varied from IS per cent or less, up to
As or so. About that time The Standard
and the Record and Guide, the New
York real estate paper, began to call
attention to this unfair violation of the
law, and since then efforts to assess
both kinds of real estate alike have
been apparent. Owners of improved
real estate now notice that though the
total assessment of values is higher,
their taxes are about the same; while
owners of vacant land complain of in
creased taxation. To a slight extent,
therefore, even in New York, land
owners are punished for keeping their
holdings out of use, and rewarded f~-
making them serviceab1e.

went into other chambers. Not finding
her anywhere, he summoned a servant.
The answers to his questions were quite
unsatisfactory. Mrs. Maynard had not
been seen to quit the house. But where,
then, was she? Whittier had she been
spirited? Sylvan almost reeled with a
dread that he could i'll have explained,
and yet that stabbed him like a spear
of fire. He hurried back to Lucia's
dressing-room. He stood in the center
of it and called her name twice or
thrice.
Suddenly his eye lighted on a paper
pinned conspicuously against the rim of
a mirror. He seized it, read hts own
name, and soon read something more.
She had gone. With a few fierce
words she told him that she would
never willingly meet him again.
''You have made me hate you," a
clause of the letter ran. 81 have often
tried to love you, and always failed.
Now, since your brutality has shown
me your true nature, / can only pray
that you will leave me unmolested, to
live or to die as | choose"
The letter trembled in Sylvan's grasp.

A Close Race.

s'You talk of close races and startling
finishes" said an old turfman, but
remember something that happened out
west that knocks the spots off anything
you've mentioned yet. Two of the
horses in the race were hot favorites,
and as it was known that they were
very evenly matched and that the re-
suit would be close, it was resolved to
measure their noses in advance. This
was done. They ran away together
from the start, and came in under the
wire neck-and-neck. nose-and-nose. 1t
was a close and exciting race all the
way through, and nobody would have
veptured to give either the preference
but for the fact that just as they crossed
the wire one of the horses stuck his
tongue out little, and so won the race.
That horse knew more than the aver

Gerald Maynard spoke that sentence
standing at the bedside of Sylvan, who
had been i'll, who had partially recov,
cred, who had gone out into the world,
and who now again had been smitten
with drowsy inertia which bore the
semblance of brain paralysis, though
not the real symptoms or portents OF
that disease.
"Know you, Gerald? Yes, indeed u
And Sylvan stretched out hand whose
emaciation suited the sad change in his
face.
''There, that's right" said Gerald,
sunny as ever of eye and smile, with
the same debonair speech and easy gest-
ure. He seated himself close by the bed.
s'You mustn't give way to this horrid
melancholia. You must fight it. Clyde
says you must, and / echo him.
''This Clyde and you are great friends
already" said Sylvan, In a voice that
piteously betrayed the sick man he was;
isn't that true. Gerald?"
s'Yes,'' was the answer. Crawford
Clyde is a wonder in his way. He's
really famous here, you know, as a
specialist on nervous troubles, though
he can't be much over five-and-thirty
And yet he'd no sooner accepted me, so
to speak, as the friend of dear old Dr.
Thorndyke than he gave me a royal
welcome. Why, bless your SOUL
Sylvan, feel like commencing practice
already as New York physician. AID
then Clyde is so good in matters which
a man of his professional note might
naturally overlook. He's promised to
use his inf1uence"-Gerald paused.
His brothers eyelids had closed, dead
pale against the equal pallor OF his
cheeks.
"Wel? He's promised to use his in
f1uence?"
Dreamily speaking, Sylvan had I'M
closed his eyes. But Gerald did not
meet their look, though he answered.
with an off-hand air. certain sentences
which were really no answer at all.
s.Oh, mean that in general sort OF
fashion he's so extremely good. He
cheers me up; he makes me feel as II
were not truly the mere neophyte IN
medicine that / am"
A silence came, and then Sylvan
queried, with extreme somberness OF
tone: "And what does he say OF the
manuscript that father left, Gerald?
Didn't You tell me you were gong 70
consult him about it?"

mothers only sister. AunE janet s~as
poor and lived in meager way, streets
and streets uptown; hu. she would be
kind and give shelter for few nights
and days to come.
After Lucia had slipped out of his
study Sylvan flung himself into chair
and sat for a long time with folded arms
and gazed on the floor.
He loved his wife deeply, in his way
of loving. He was thinking all this
while, whether the fraud that he had
conceived and carried out would not
bravely succeed. Naturally, she might
at first show harsh revolt; but soon all
| that must change; every storm raves it
self into peace. And as for this deceit
about burning false envelope for a
true one, how could he help iustifying
| any course that might lull III Lucia this
profane frenzy?
After awhile (the lapse of time was
longer than he realized) Sylvan rose
went to the open drawer of his cabinet
like desk, and drew from it an envelope
almost precisely resembling the one
which he had burned that evening
Whatever trick of calligraphy he had
used in initiating the superscription at
which he now gazed, his adroitness of
touch had been quite perfect enough to
| deceive the agitated eye that met it.
Satisfied of this fact, he replaced the
envelope, closing and locking the
drawer. After having done this, he be-
came conscious of sharp discomfort,
| whose object was Lucia. How strange
that the only real discord which had
ever risen between them should have
concerned his religious faith-an ele-
ment in him with which he connected
all peaceful and kindly longings. He
now told himself that he must repair
with all acts of Christian gentleness the
injury to his wife's feelings which a
needful course of severity had inflicted.
His heart literally brimmed with good
will as he soon passed from his study
and went to find Lucia. His love for
her, always ardent, had never more en-
thralled him than then. 1t was blent
with self-reproach for the distress he
had caused her, though remorse had no
real part in the poignancy of his regret.
He entered her dressingroom and
saw that it was vacant. Giving it only
careless glance here and there, he
