WILLIAM DEAN HowELLs.

One of the recent acquisitions Of the Au
thors' club is Mr. Richard Harding Davis,
who has had phenomenal career. He
came to New York less than two years ago
as a reporter for The Evening Sun, and he
had the singular good fortune, when on his
way to the Office to take his first assign
ment, to be approached by bunco steerer.
Davis understood the game at once, and
decided to permit himself to be buncoed,
and he was initiated into all the mysteries
of that queer crime. At last, when he had
the whole story, he collared the bunco king
and held him until policeman arrested
him. Thus he was enabled to tell from per-
sonal experience and with literary charm
the story of buncoed man as his first writ
ing for The Evening Sun. Since then Davis
has won an enviable reputation as writer
of short stories in the magazines. He in
herits his literary gift, as he is son of
Rebecca Harding Davis, whose fame as a
novelist is secure. E. j. EDWARDS.

NEW YORK, May 4-The reception re-
Gently given by the members of the Au-
thors' club to their friendly rivals, the

most successful and delightful occasion.
An impression generally prevails that as a

ones, are queer people, of unconventional
habits, eccentric manners, having gooq
deal Of self assurance and disposed to ex-
act homage from all those with whom they
come in contact. Yet at this gathering at
the Authors' club the most famous of the
authors and authoresses were the most
unassuming of persons, and were full OF
fun and vivacity, so that the occasion
seemed to be more an informal meeting oil
jolly workers for the press than of men
and women whose names are known wher
ever the English language is read.

CHAPTER XVI.

Thus it happened, that although Mrs.
Breezy and her husband had been parted
for upwards of twenty years, he still
held the same power over her which he
possessed in the past and could control
her as easily as he had done when he
first made love to her on the benches in
Washington Park.
With his wife Alphonse Bregy's Sc
cret was quite safe. known as Mr..
limerick he was free to 60 and come as
he pleased without the world being any
the wiser regarding his identity.
Yet he was about to play desperate
game, and it would tax his deceptive re-
sources and daring spirit to the utmost
to carry it through to a successful issue.
The world must learn at once that Mrs.
Breezy had made mistake in his iden-
tity, but the rest must transpire grad
ually. No suspicious must be raised.
One of the first whom Mrs. Breezy
spoke to after telling her son of her dis
appointment was Mrs. Delaro. That
good lady was very ready with her SYM
pathy, yet she was really glad that the
poor woman's mind had at last been set
at rest. .'You will not of course delay
your departure to France, now? she
said to Mrs Breezy.
NO" replied that lady. 1T is our in
tention to leave as arranged, and there
is one delightful circumstance connected
with my visit to Mr.. Emerick's which l
must mention"
Indeed, what is it?' asked Mrs. De-
laro.
1T is this" said Mrs. Breezy. AL
though did not find a husband in Mr..
limerick l found friend" (How well
the natural cunning of her race was
serving her at this time.)
That must be very agreeable" said
Mrs. Delaro.
1T happened this way. l told Mr..
limerick 1 was going to France, and as
he also intends to go there this summer
he has resolved to start at once and ac-
company us. He also knows many peo-
pie at Amiens and can be of great serv-
ice to u.s."
AS Mrs. Breezy spoke these words the
stately Armida walked in, and after the
congratulations of the day she asked

he pressed her to him and fondly kissed
her, saying: You shall again be all
that you ever were to me. But it must
be on conditions that l will name
She was in his power and he knew it.
This flint-hearted man could afford to
be sentimental and knew how to be
when it suited his purpose.
II will accept any conditions as long
as you will call me wife again" she
said.
Then sit down here beside me and
will name them" AS Mr. limerick
spoke these words he drew two chairs
together and motioned Mrs. Breezy to
take one of them. Seating himself be-
side her he said: "You must first prom
Use me that you will never ask me any
questions regarding the past twenty
years of my life"
THAT 1 will readily PROMISE" an
swered the now happy woman.
Next you must not tell any one that
1 am Alphonse Breezy, your husband.
You must not even tell Eugene"
But that can not be. How can L
keep the knowledge from the world?"
asked Mrs. Breezy.
THAT is easy enough to manage"
was the reply, 'if you will only follow
my instructions and act precisely as l
suggest When you leave here tonight
you must m aint tain your composure. Do
not tell any one you have found your
husband. Tell them all that you made
a hideous mistake and that 1 am not
Alphonse Breezy at all, but merely Mr..
limerick"
hoY t,ar nit TOD
the woman impetuously.
Readily enough. This acquaintance
of tonight shall ripen into intimacy.
In searching for your real husband the
world shall be taught to believe that
you have found new one. 1 will prove
that Alphonse Breezy, your husband Of
years ago, was killed in fracas at
Leadville or some other place and you
shall be married to your new husband
as soon as sufficient length of time has
elapsed to make it appear decorous,"
said Mr.. limerick as he threw hi mself
eagerly into the discussion.
81 will consent to any thing so long
as get you back to my side" answered
the woman. ''But how about Eugene?"
''He shall know of the facts in due
time" said Mr.. limerick.
''But"-here Mrs. Breezy hesitated
ere she spoke, II have to go to France
to see about my property"
''Property-what property" asked
Mr.. limerick.
Don't you know that am heiress to
Uncle Du Bots property at Amiers,
worth nearly five hundred thousand
francS?" asked Mrs. Breezy.
NO, how should l know that? In the
face of this good fortune do you still
come to me and consent to call me hus-
band again?" asked Mr.. limerick Tor as
such we still must know him) in an as
tonished tone which to the woman had
the ring of genuineness about it.
'If l owned half New York YOU would
be as welcome to it as you would be to a
share of my last crust" answered the
faithful woman.
"Then you do love me truly" said the
merchant, as he kissed her fondly, land
since you are going to France 1 will
accompany you and marry you again
abroad.
That will indeed be a pleasure"
said the woman, with great feeling.
when do you sail?" asked Mr.. Emer-
ick.
1.-TWO weeks from to-day on the La
Gascoigne. Can you be ready?"
Eyes, l can get my business settled
up by that time and can accompany
YOU"
So they parted. The poor, deluded
woman going to her home under the

Answering Mayor Sargent.

The New Haven Standard has under
taken to answer Mayor Sargent's re-
cent message, and it declares that
thousands of mechanics and laboring
men throughout the state own their lit
tie homes, with q small plot of ground
which they can call their own, and
which they have secured through thrift,
industry and strict economy" The peo-
pie, it thinks, will resist Mayor Sar-
gents proposal to release capital and
labor from taxation, because, under the
system of the single tax, labor would
pay heaviest on the only thing it ordin-
arily acquires-the land" Land, il
says, us the only thing that labor ac-
quires in nine cases out of ten," and it
asks IF that is to be the only thing
taxed, where is the benefit to success
full and ambitious LAHORE" 1t clinches
its supposed argument with the declar-
alton that under such a system as that
proposed, mo one will care to own land
at all, and all will desire to be tenants
and not proprietors."
A correspondent at Bridgeport asks
us to answer this foolish argument for
the benefit of some who have been de-
luded by it. 1t would seem that any
body who had ever read single tau
tract might answer it for himself In
the first place, it is not true that land is
the first thing that labor acquires; in
nine cases out of ten it is the last thing
that labor acquires, and very few ac-
quire it at all, except enough for q
grave. AS to no one caring to own
land, merely for the sake of owning it,
what could labor ask better? Under
such circumstances any laborer want
ing to build home would be able to
take any lot that suited him, without
the payment of purchase price, and he
would merely pay to the government.
from year to year, smaller amount
than he now pays as interest on mort
gage, or as ground rent. Under such
circumstances it is probable that the
first thing that an ambitious working
man acquired would be home.
1t is manifest to any one, who will
think, that a proposal to tax land values
only would reduce the taxation on me-
chanics and laboring men owning little
homes. To say nothing of the enor-
nous relief that such men would ex-
perience through the abolition of tariff
taxes on all they consume or wear, local
taxes would be less. Every man own
ing small home, who will look about
him, will find that his property is as
sessed at higher price than other
property equally well situated, but not
improved. AS soon as taxes are levied
on land values, alone, his house and
other improvements would cease to be
assessed, and he would pay no more
taxes on the plot of land he holds than
his rich neighbor would pay on any
similar plot that he is now holding out
of use for speculation. The result OF
this would be the proportionate de-
crease of the poor mans taxes, through
the addition to the general fund of the
taxes that speculative holders would
thus pay.-The Standard.

thoughts into a pleasanter channel,
though none but herself knew how
much the effort cost her.

Armida along with him. until she grew
tired of it all and excused herself from
most of his excursions.

Hot Water Drinking.

The amount of hot water which one
should take depends upon what the hot
water is drank for If a person has an
attack of rheumatism he should take
moderate quantities of hot water as
often as possible, in order TO rinse the
system opt and get rid of the uric acid
as speedily as he may. If he has dys-
pepsia. hot water is administered as
deturgent, and it is good idea to take
two or three glasses at once, half an
hour or so before eating. This will fill
the stomach SO full that it will dump
itself and SO get clear of anr undigested
food and mucous.

A Practical Example.

In Bridgeport, Ct, there is mai
named Sanford who, until recently,
owned a corner lot near the courthouse,
1t was one of these object lesson lots
that single tax men like to refer to in
their speeches. vacant, unimproved
piece of land in the heart of the city.
Mr.. Sanford was offered for this proper
ty $4,000 about year or so ago, but
would not sell it. 1t is customary there
for property owners to place a valua-
ton on their property to aid the tax as
SCISSORS in their work. At the last as
sessment Mr.. Sanford thought he would
be aiding the assessors by valuing the
lot referred to at So, 900. But this time
his valuation was not accepted. The
assessors had heard of the $75, 900 offer.
They mentioned the fact to Mr.. San
ford, and told him that, as he had re-
fused $75, 900, the lot must be worth
$50, 900, and they would therefore assess
it at the customary one-third of its I'M
doubted value, which would be $40, 600.
And so they did. Whereupon, what
did Mr.. Sanford do? Within a month
from the time when the assessment was
levied he started the foundations of
big building.
MI. w. 'oIouCll VI DIloSCPOTb,
who tells this story, says that he has
lost, by the disappearance of this va
cant lot a prominent example Of the
evils of the present system-an exam
pie he had often used in his speeches;
but he thinks he has gained very good
example of the good effects of apply
ing the entering wedge of the single
tax.
Mr.. Gorsuch has gained more than he
has lost. It is not hard to find plenty
of land held vacant because the assess
ments are so low that man can make
more, all things considered, by holding
them for an increase in value than he
can by improving them. 1t is not hard
to find whole districts whose growth
and industry has been paralyzed by the
withholding of land from use. What
we need is more of the other examples.
What is wanted is a movement that
shall force the assessors to value vacant
unimproved land at something like it's
true value. This is one of the most
practical and practicable first steps in
the direction of the single tax. Its
good effects will be seen and felt imme-
diately, as in the case of Mr. Sanford;
and. once seen, it will not need much
argument to show the people what will
be the effect of applying the single tax
in it's fulness.
THE annual report of the New York
State Assessors for $780, shows the total
assessed value of realty for the whole
State to be SO, 29s, 600, 900, and of person
al property, 1886, 900, 600, the personal be-
ing IL per cent. of the total assessment
In 1867 the assessed value of real estate
was 81, 237 ZOO, 900, the increase in the
twenty-three years being over $1,000
0oO, ZOO, or 100 per cent. The assessed
value of personally in 1867 was $780,
600, 600, as against $685., 900, 900 in 1890.
showing a decrease in twenty-three
years of S51, 900, 900. In 1867 real estate
paid about "a per cent. of the total
taxes; personal property, 20 per cent.
In 1890 real estate paid so per cent; per-
sonal property, IL per cent.

BRENNAN NEEDS A TANNERY.

A well known stock man said to a
BANNER reporter few days ago that
he was wearing pair of boots that
cost him fifteen hides to have made.
This struck the reporter as being
too much raw material to give in
exchange for one article manufac-
tured out of it, and involuntarily he
exclaimed "that's strange! when the
gentleman continued. Yes, there
is no tannery here and the hides
must be sold to local dealers at a
low price and they ship them at a
slight advance to commission men
who reap another profit on them
before they reach a tannery third
handed, and then after dress
ing and tanning they go through
two or three hands I presume to
get to the shoe makers, who must
add the cost of his other material
and charge wages for making them,
but about IL of my hides have gone
into profits for other people while
the three perhaps pay for the boots.
With tannery here some of these
unnecessary large profits would be
cut of, and 1t is an industry that is
about as badly needed here as any
other.
Brennan wants a tannery.
