CHAPTER XVII.
HARRY MEETS A GREAT MAN.

HARRY MEETS A GREAT MAN
But the thread Harry held in the
skein of mystery snapped with cruel
abrnptness. None had heard OF any
gentleman of position who was accrcd-
tied with the phenomenal faculties
supposed to be possessed by Harry s
unknown.
'Pshaw, my dear fellow" a friend
laughed, there are no such people out
side of cheap novels. OF course there
are plenty of charlatans hanging on to
the skirts of society who profess each
powers; but as for any man with the
rank of a gentleman cutting such
capers, its simply ridiculous. You had
better eliminate the testimony of the
fair Miss Wilkins from your brief-it
will only lead you into difficulties"
''She certainly saw the man; the
woman is truthful am sure
Granted all that. The fact is, Mr..
Evesham, You do not realize the intense
ignorance of the British female of Miss
Wilkins class. If they have any mag
ination. it is fed on the CORY incidents
of the pcnny-drcadfuls: and / do not
doubt but that Marias fiendish ariStO-
crat, who looks into women's souls, is
a creation of her own disordcrcd fancy.
All, my boy. l am afraid You will have
to drop The noble villain from the
caste of your very interesting little
drama
Harry thought so too.
One morning he was bordering over
his disappointments and trying TO make
up his mind to throw up his brief and
go back to New York. confesSedly beat
en-. when the maid-servant entered
bringing him Il letter.
PLEASE. sir" this is for yOu, and
there's tuppence charge. which | gave
it to the postman myself"
He recognized the superscription at
once. 1t was from Brooklyn. and ran
as follows:
My Dear Harry: Your letters have
such a cerulean hue that they give me
the blues. If you alludc to expenses
again, except to ask for Increased sub
sides, | shall be angry in earnest.
Make haste slowly. remembering that
every day spent witt! such men as you
are meeting is qualifying YOU more
highly for my services, and l look upon
its cost as n wise investment. Come
home. indeed. Well. to make n clean
breast of it, / don't want you. You
would be de trop. young man. for am
garnishing my house for company.
shall not tell you who my guests will
be for am not quite sure of them.
Now, before / forget it, let me give
you hint. There is living in a little
cottage on Hampstead Heath, an old
man, who might be extremely useful to
you, one Matthew Forester. n doctor
of law and member of four-ffths of
the literary associations of Europe-and.

Convinced that their presence will tend
largely to his recovery"
Bladon frowned. He did not dare to
speak, realizing as he did the debt of
obligation he owed this grand old man.
Thus it befell that Mr.. Hardcastle re-
turned home with the promise that in a
couple of weeks Mr.. Arundel and his
faithful servant would follow him and
make their home under his hospitable
roof.
Then the genial old gentleman wrote
20 each of the ladies iIcploring them to
sacrifice their summer happiness to
George Arundel's interest and be
guests of his until the result OF the oper-
alton was known.
..Of course we will CO. Wanda cried
| with flashing eyes.

Mrs. Evesham hesitated. S.c DIX. cot

''Oh. mamma" Kate laughed: TO

many Mrs. Evesla1 corrected;

chicvously and said Kate ought TO be
ashamed of herself. That remark Of

it was followed by decision to acccp.

and will only occupy few moments
in closing. There is one side of this
question that purposeiy did not touch
upon in opening this discussion. That
was the ethical side. / merely pre-
sented statistics to show that the value
of the land in this district was really
1905, 900. 900 instead of sac, 900, 900, as as
sessed. But the strong side of this case
is the ethical side. 1t is in answer to-
that question which man is apt to ask
at first. why is it that one class OF
property should bear all the burden of
taxation? Why is it that men should
not divide this load of taxation accord
ing to wealth.? The answer is very
simple. and it is the greatest mistake in
civilization to-day that it has not been
universally appreciated. Land in the
district of Columbia gets every farthing
of its benefit from government; every
street completed, every sewer built,
every single dollar spent in improve
ments benefit land values, and can
benefit nothing else. Just as You beau
tify the city, you increase the value of
the land. The value of any building or
of any article of any kind whether it is
n church steeple or a wheelbarrow, is
measured by its cost of production. You
can not measure land values that way.
Land values are measured by
an entirely different measure.
Imagine all the sewers of Wash
ington, all the pavements, buildings,
and everything that makes this city
beautiful. taken up bodily and put down
twenty miles from here at place where
land is of little or no value. That in
slant that land would be worth $685.
100000 and this land where we now
stand only that of farming land. The
value of land is creation of the COM
munity. And it belongs to the COM
munity just as much as other things be-
long to the individual. And why should
the community tax other things when
it possesses this value. value more than
ample for its support?"
Mr.. johnson was vigorously applauded
when he had finished, and Commissioner
Douglass. on behalf of himself and his
colleagues, expressed warm thanks to
Mr.. johnson and the others who had
spoken for information they had ten
dered. The commissioners will report
their decision on the bill in few days.

Leasing Oyster Lards.

The people of Oyster Bay, Long Is
land, begin to see light. Judging by
this news report in the New York Times:
The farmers and oystermen of the
town of Oyster Bay, Long Island, are
at loggerheads over the presumed advan-
tage the latter enjoy over the former in
the matter of taxation. The farmers
lands are all taxed, while the lands I'M
der water, of which the oystermen
make their living. are not subject to
any such incumbrance. At almost every
town meeting for years past the farm
ers have introduced the much-mooted
question for decision by the peoples
votes, and it has always gone against
them. The oyster lands are owned by
the town, and it is now proposed that
the town authorities take possession of
than January l, 1895. have them sur
veyed and marked off into one-acre
plots, and that five and ten years leases
of each be put up at auction and sold to
the highest bidder. BY this means it is
thought nobody will be injured, and
that the dissatisfaction of the agricul-
tural portion of the townspeople will be
appeaSed.

generally best to let it go. rather than
call attention to what might otherwise

The Poor Millionaires Of Cincinnati.

The CHARITY Ball" that lately came
off in Cincinnati was swell affair in
fashionable circles and was made the
occasion of display of jewelry SO cost
ly and dazzling that the daily papers
discoursed upon the great society
event" under bold headlines, as evil
dence of the immense wealth of Cincin-
natl, to say nothing of her ''munificent
philanthropy" 1t has been observed.
however, that only the merest fraction
of all this wonderful wealth of Cincin-
natl has ever come to light on the tax
duplicate.
The Cincinnati Post suggests an
amusing explanation for this enormous
discrepancy between the personal prop
erty owned by these wealthy people
and the values returned by them for
taxation. 1t says: Perhaps in some
instances the jewels were borrowed
from friends or relatives for the occa-
sion," and it offers the ironical refiec-
ton that lit is refreshing to know that
if these precious stones were purchased
for the occasion, the ladies will have
something elegant to exhibit when the
| next Charity ball is given; and the tax
duplicate will next spring be increased
| to large extent by the returns to the
assessors" OF the very wealthy patrons
of this affair who were either present
or represented, there were at least
eleven persons who have for years been
| known as possessed of from two to-
eight millions. The wife of one Of
these millionaires wore, besides other
rich Jewels, tiara which alone is said
to have cost $4,000.
The Post says her husband is assessed
on the tax duplicate as owning 81 500
worth of jewels. He is very kind
hearted and popular man, and is widely
known for his liberality and many char
tiles. He is devOut church member,
too, and presume his conscience is per-
fectly easy on the subject of his taxes.
Doubtless he feels as nine out of ten
taxpayers anywhere would feel, that he
is lucky to get off so lightly. Or possi-
bly, he does not think he is getting of
lightly. for the Post names other mill
liOnaires whose returns of jewelry to-
the assessor only run from 5000 to 81 900.
OF the wealthy company that filed Mu-
sic Hall that night the papers named
over eighty persons who were conspicu-
Gus for their elegant attire and jewelry.
If the wealthiest of these are assessed
at only 800 or SO for $4,000 worth Of
property, the fact should furnish food
for thought for our farmer friends and
small capitalists who are determined to
''make those millionaires pay taxes ac-
cording to their means For most Of
these tax evaders are amiable people
(say nothing of being devout Christ
ians), who really don't mean to do any
thing very wrong, and don't think it is
wrong to get off with as light tax as
possible, and in this !, for one, can not
wholly disagree with them; even the
people who are clamoring for stricter
tax laws and grumbling about the eva
sions of millionaire tax dodgers would
doubtless do something like it them

"ALExASDER HARDCASTLE."
It is necessary here to give the
reader little clearer insight into Mr.
Hardcastle's movements than that gem
tleman has accorded to Harry.
After his extraordinary interview
with Wanda Arlington. when the pos

Evesham had been brOached and dis
cussed, he had shrunil like u bashful

the delicate subject, though Ia had de-
layed the day of his departure. Now
it happened that this procrastination
was fraught with extraordinary events,
for he read one morning in the Detroit
Free Press. which he assurcdlv never
would have done if he had returned
home when he first intended. that DR..
Isaac jacobson. the distinguished New
York oculist, was visiting the great
lakes.

citedly. We must intercept him at
Detroit and bring him to see George

White and trembling, Kate gresham
caught the tenor of his words.
''Oh, Mr.. Iiardcastie.' she gaspcd
You do not think there is hope that
Georgc-that Mr.. Arundel may recover
