vaguely conscious that Mrs. Maynard,
looking like j queen in her rich velvet
costume, was bowling to him graciously
from the carriage. Vaguely conscious
OF this. because in the same moment his
glance fell upon the lady who was
seated beside her; and all his carefully
assumed coInposure was swept away
for 81 instant by the violent start that
ne gave. the conflicting expressions
that passed in lightning transition over
his suddenly paling face. He never was
able to recall aftcrwar1 whether or not
he returned Mrs. Maynard's salutation;
his only consciousness was of gazing
blankly after the vanishing carriage
with his eyes fixed upon that slight,
graceful figure at Mrs. Maynard's side
and his white lips murnuring insancly
the one name:
"Myra. Myra.''
He was rudely aroused from this mo-
mentary alteration by wild clutch at
his arm, and turning quickly he en-
countered Dennis O'Reilly.
What is the matter with you,
O'Reilly?" North demanded. sharply,
shaking off the brawny hand that was
loath 70 relinouish it's clutch. Don't
touch me again. What has happened
to make you lose your senses in this
wav?"
Dennis scarcely seemed to hear these
words. His round eyes We're extended
to their utmost capacity, his mouth was
wide open, his very hair seemed to be
suddenly electrified and on end with
wonder and delight.
Did yez say her, Misther North?" he
exclaimed in voice that was hoarse
with excitement. THE swate young
Teddy in the kerridge, sorr? Och, Ma
vourneen! It's Dinnis as wull niver fur
git yer swate looks! BY me sowl, SORT,
it was Annie Dupont hersilf that saw
wild me two eyes this blissid minute!"
North stood in stupefied silence for a
moment. gazing at O'Reilly. but in
reality seeing only that sweet, pale
face whose beauty had gladdened his
eyes for one cruelty brief moment after
four long years Of silence and mystery
err his usual sane Judgment, slow to
comprehend the significance of the
words that Dennis had spoken. Then
in a rush the strange developments of
the past hour, the strange confirmation
of the past moment swept over him.
Springing eagerly into the carriage
and motioning O'Reilly to the drivers
seat, he cried, in sharp imperative tones:
There is no time to waste, Dennis!
Drive me to Evansburg as quickly as
possible."

No good reason exists why the sale

in liquors may pay, and the best inter-

to state that 1 am thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the proposed additional
plank to the platform of the New York
Tax Reform association. Besides real
estate taxes, corporations should pay
in taxes only the fair value of the fran
chises which they obtain from the peo-
ple."
/ do not think this will prove any
boyle to the uninitiated: find the
popular mind, through long course of.
'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer, has become
very receptive; and while the fad has
seized almost everyone to obtain some
thing for nothing, If possible, nearly
everyone is ready to acknowledge that
states and governments should take
from the people no more of their earn
ing than is absolutely required for their
respective supports, and regard corpo-
rations which obtain franchises as le-
gitimate objects of taxation up to the
full amount of the value of the privi-
lege Ordinary business corporations
naturally, like any other business asso-.
citation, would be struck very lightly
by such legislation, while those whose
business involved a partial or complete
monopoly of some natural opportunity
or of artificial privileges created by the
mass, would only be compelled to pay
upon the value of that opportunity or
privilege. It would be tremendous
step forward in freeing the products Of
labor from fines and restrictions.

Give the Farmer. an Even Chance.

The general question of taxation is
being more generally discussed in Gem
trail and Northern New York than ever
before. In this section it has been
evoked by the abortive attempt Of the
city to tax every farmer s25 who sells
in this town. The opposition to this
injustice has come principally and ac-
lively from the oranges, known as the
Farmers Industrial union. These
oranges are not only kicking against
the above abandoned attempt but they
are pushing their inquiries further into
the injustice of our present tax laws.
At meeting Of the Lamsons' Oswego
County grange a short time since it was
stated in a general discussion of the
whole taxation question that farmers
real estate and personal property now
bore by far the larger burdens of taxa
ton; that personal property in cities
and also that of great corporations was
not and could not be assessed because
it was concealed
Farmers, the speaker said, were rap
idly reaching the conclusion that they.
too, like the cities and corporations,
would pay no taxes on personal prop
erty; that the only way to put all on
an equal and square basis where there
can be no lying or Sinking is to pass
law abolishing all taxation of per-
sonal property. That would give the
farmers, once more, an even chance
Industrial Gazette.
Residents of cities will be glad to
know that the farmers at last recog-
nize that the interests of all producers
farmer, mechanic, manufacturer or
merchant-are identical, and that
their common enemy is the monopo-
list.
