The night air was bitterly chilly; she
did not think of her own tingling feet
and shivering frame. but the horse, the

around the little open plot CT ground to

Her voice rose shriliy, and there were

snarled, pushing her aside. He could

A BIG DEFICIT.

Washington, March 3O-Contrary to
the expectations of the officials of the
treasury, the receipts for the month Of
March win again fall below the ex-
penditures. The amount, however, is
only about $234,000. The excess Of ex-
pendltures for nine months of the pres
ent fiscal year are $S6,5OO,O0O, and this
amount will almost certainly be in
creased by $5,0O0,000 during April
which will leave a deficit of about $42,-
100000 on May 1st. During May and
June, however, great things are ex-
pected from the income tax, but the
most conservative estimate now places
the deficit for the fiscal year at $25,0O0,-
900. The outlook for heavy receipts
