 At tho consultation of the justices Sat urday Justice Jackson voted. with Jus tioos Brown, Whito. Harlan and Shiras, to sustain the oonstitutionality of the income tax law, and the vote when announced noxt Monday will stand to in favor of the law. lt is learned that Justioo Jack sons attitude was understood by his ool- leagues on the bcnoh before he came to Washington.

 His only reason for coming to Washing. ton was to Rratify the desire of the court to have the income tax case settled deois-

 It is learned, moreover, that the reargu. mont did not change tho views of single justice, and those points which wero de- oided unconstitutional in tho original opinion arc still held to bo SO 10 is said that somo of the members of the court arc disposed to believe that tho majority may have gone little too far in exempt. ing rents from the income tax, but tho vote taken Saturday did not show any change of heart among those who voted to exempt rentals and state and municipal bonds.

say he had some cousins Oh, I am so sorry and so-so-gladP'
 Miriam Gray looked at her friend in a sort of stupor.
 "Sorry, dear, because of what you have suffered and glad because every thing will yet come out all right"
 Miriam mournfully shook her head.
 ''He will never forgive me" !" she said. ''He is proud and sensitive. My words cut deep-all the more so because so undeserved. I gave him no explanation, no chance to defend himself" '"
 "You can explain now," suggested Blanche
 "Nop' replied Miriam in Q strained tone, a proud look coming to her face.
 She wrung her hands and moaned, and nothing that Blanche could say car ried consolation with it Her love had been but dormant. It reasserted itself. Bruce Ventnor had been blameless. She had deeply wronged him. She was pay ing the penalty for her haste.
 1T would tell him all," advised Blanche. .. ..--s ...
 "He may spurn me-" cried Miriam through her sobs. "He may be as cruel and unreasonable as I was and with more of an excuse. It happened three years ago. He may love some one else now-nay, he may be married to an- other. There is nothing for me to do but to remain silent and-endure.
 Her grief was so great that Blanche ceased her efforts to pacify her.
 
 The orchestra was playing quadrille. Miriam Gray sat on the veranda by an open window. looking in at the dancers, her face and form plainly visible. A gentleman stepped from among the shadows on the porch. He stopped be- side Miriam
 "Miriamp' he simply said, though his voice trembled.
 Ah, she knew who had spokeni No one else could have pronounced her name with such sweet tenderness The blood filled her face, then left it deathly pale.
 She lifted her eyes swiftly to his, a fond, glad, appealing look in them.
 "Your cousin has told me all" he said, his handsome eyes aglow. "She felt it to be her duty. You did it for her sake. Your pride stood in your way. The mistake arose from confusion in names. A cousin of mine was the per fidious fellow, while I am the honest, true hearted man claimed to be. !"
 Oh, it was so precious to her to know that he had forgiven her and was will ing to receive her in favor again! She grew so excited that her fan shook in her hands. m
 ''The moon is rising" he said as he offered her his arm.
 She did not want to attract attention to herself. She appreciated his purpose. She gave him grateful glance. She arose, took his arm, and they strolled down the beach.
 Miriam" he said, looking down upon her, his eyes shining into hers, "three years ago you rejected me. What would you answer now?"
 He felt that she was trembling.
 ''Oh, how wronged youp' she cried. 'Have you forgiven me?"
 "Yes, darling"
 ''Oh, Mr. Ventnorr' she exclaimed, .'I do not deserve it. loved you very much then-I love you more now. cannot make wreck of my happiness. You dear, kind, forgiving. great hearted man, I accept you gladly, proudly, just as''-
 "Emphatically as you rejected me, '' completed he, his faco shining. ''I am thoroughly satisfied. !" He stopped and kissed her, and nc reconciliation could have been more complete. e.-London Million.
