AS he finished he folded his arms
across his expansive chest, and Sever
make could see the muscles rise under
the flannel sleeves.
Mr. John Maynard, ex-cowboy, gam
bier and convict, was without excep-
ton physically the finest speciment of
young manhood the elderly diplomatist
had ever seen.
Let me suggest a commencement
for that second volume" he said slyly.
How would you like to shut your eyes
on the troubled past, as though it had
never existed, and wake up in another
country to find yourself master of al
most unlimited wealth, of several fine
horses and estates, and owner of an
ancient title?"

are piling on the agony. / see you're

The young man looked at him.
Their eyes met and focused for a long
moment. Almost every one had left
the breakfast room now, and the per-
spiring black walters were growing
impatient, but the two sat on. Grad
ually. as Severnake unfolded his ideas
they forgot that there was any world
beyond the narrow limit of their table
and the chairs, save, indeed, that far
away and magical one of which the ell
der man talked with a silvery tongue.
Half an hour-an hour passed-and
they still remained, absorbed in each
other.
Exactly what to tell and what to
leave untold, Savernake had decided
beforehand, when the plan which he
was now bringing to a climax was but
in embryo, and depending on many
things-on the likeness between the
stranger known to be living, and the
man believed to be dead; on the for
mer's presentability, so to say; on his
willingness to play a bold and some
what risky game for great stake, and
on half-a-dozen things beside.
Now various difficulties which brist-
led like knives in the Prison of the
Swords, were being smoothed away

that the public takes an interest IN the

there should be fairness in the discus
sion There are several misleading state

II is easy to find out-of-date goods in
any stock There are several old books
on the shelves of the education office
that have not been used in the schools
far many years. Out of the list OF hf-
teen books named in this article seven
have been out of use for long time.
/ am sure that neither the Superin-

MANY IN FAVOR
OF SINGLE TAX
John Emmeluth Says That the
New System Could be In
troduced at Once.

Single takers had an inning Saturday
evening and the admirers of Henry
George discussed pro and con the merits
of the great problem of taxation as in
terpreted by their master.
Though the attendance was not large,
the dearth of speakers was more than
atoned for by the brilliancy of the argu-
ments advanced. Repartee marked the
meeting and the gavel of the chairman
was kept busy maintaining order.
| John Emmeluth was called to the chair,
with l.. D. Timmons acting as secre-
tary. A selection from Henry George
was read setting forth the existing con-
ditions of taxation and the proposed rem

/ Chairman Emmeluth followed in an adj
dress dealing with the present made
uuate and unjust method of assessing
real property, not only IN TINS CITY pu
in the entire group of Islands. A table
of figures was submitted showing tina
approximately there was $l,4O0,O00 col
lected from the tax levies on persona
property in 1899, 100000 by taxes on rea
estate and about $3.50, 900 from licenses
and special privileges The total of rev
en,ies for the same year was about y,
100, 900.
He claimed that under the singie-ta-
system the tax on all manner OF indus
try would be removed and the amour
reulired from the owners of improve
real estate would be about the same a
it always had been, even if it was no
materially reduced by the propose
schemes
He explained how the apparent def

could be supplied without placing TO
heavy a burden on the owners OF prop
