CHAPTER v.

Facing the sun on the same morn
ing which broke through the length
ened slumbcrs of Louise in the Rich
mond hotel, an old man sat in an in
valid chair. Everything that wealth
could provide for his comfort, every
thing demanded by convention, sur
rounded him. No one would ever say,
looking in upon the appointments Of
his house, that the sick man lacked
anything that loving sympathy and
tender solicitude could suggest. The
deep velvet carpet gave back no sound
under the feet of those who moved
around him; curtains of damask and
lace softened the too direct rays OF
light which entered the long windows
across the balcony; bits of landscape
and color relieved the wide expanse
of wall; and flowers lent freshness
and fragrance to the soft spring all
sparingly admitted.
The old man was haggard from
loss of rest and from apprehension
His once forid face was pallid anc

with an unnatural brilliancy. One

and shrunken frame. The tiny spark

for days, weeks, even months; 1t
would never again send up clear and
steady blaze.
Within the same room several peo-
pie had gathered, controlled by varied
sentiments. DR.. Brodnar was there,
his massive frame bent above the
sick man, his eyes everywhere. Pulse,
respiration, temperature, were pa
tiently ascertained, and with unsat-
! isfactory results, evidently, for the
doctors face was tell-tale. Once
or twice his eyes rested upon tall
woman in black who moved slowly
about the invalid, touching his hands
and forehead, admonishing him gen.
tly, and keeping watch upon the
physicians actions with singular in
tentness.
This woman was of marked per-
sonality. Her iron-gray hair was
brushed back smoothly from broad,
low forehead, her black eyes were
we'll sunk under dark brows and
lashes, but flashed indolently from
time to time when she was speak
ing. The small, straight, relentless
mouth and aquiline nose gave note
of severity to her face. Her charm,
it is likely, had existed in the con-
tour and coloring of that face, and
in a certain easy self-reliance, or
consciousness of power. Just now her
face was inscrutably placid. She
spoke only in tones so low as to be
audible but short distance.
Across the room girl stood looking
idly, dreamily, from easement WIN
dow into the trees. She was slender,
with mass of reddish, golden curls
gathered back and fallen over her
shoulders. The profile revealed birth
and refinement, and suggested nobil-
ity, high purpose and innate purity.
There was a wistful tenderness about
her mouth and soft radiance in her
b,ue-gray eyes when from time to time
she turned towards the group gath

He picked up several medicine bottles
and examined them, testing their con.
tents by smell and sight. The tall
woman's eyes met his.
"He passed restless night" she said
laying her hands upon the sick mans
forehead. "There was considerable
confusion in the city, and some one

told of an officer now on Lord Roberts

his career he went to India. when he
was ordered to proceed to South Africa.
On his arrival there he found that he

after the officers arrival, and the
secretary, with a due sense Of his
own Importance. proceeded to exhibit
his contempt for all subalterns. When
the new aid-de-camp arrived the secre.
tary gave him supercilious stare
and then gingerly offered two fingers
to shake.
Nothing daunted the sub. looked al

DIRTY POLITICAL WORK
Hughes Strikers Shut Out
Warner Voters.

The high-handed methods of the
Hughes strikers have caused a storm of
Indignation, especially in the First
ward.
The women are not allowed to escape,
and when a Warner carriage brings peo-
pie to the polls the occupants are chaI-
lenged if any possible excuse can be
found
AT the Second precinct Of the First
ward the polling place was crowded with
negroes, whose purpose appeared to be to
intimidate the women.
Mrs. Lillian Dwyer offered her vote.
The judge asked her name. She gave
it. You can't vote here. You are a
Democrat said one of the negro chal-
lengers. Mrs. Dwyer protested that she
was a Republican. but she was refused
a ballot. and not knowing her rights. left
the polling place without voting.
Mrs. Oscar Krauss said she had al
ways been a Republican, but she was
told she could not vote.

STATE Will LOSE
Under New Law the State Will
Lose S5OO,OOO.
Must Compromise State Tax
Against the Counties.

State Auditor Gale calls attention to a
law enacted by this legislature that Is
likely to play havoc with the finances or
the state to the extent Of half a million
dollars. The law was passed fof the re-
lief Of the short grass counties tnat CON-
promise taxes. Heretofore when auy
county has compromised taxes with de-
linquents on the theory that half loaf
is better than none, the county would
still have to pay its pro rata Of the fun
assessment to the state. The new law
provides that counties settle with the
state on the same basis as they settle
with the taxpayers.
If this was the full extent of the law, it
might be regarded as an act Of simple
equality but it has been discovered that
the act reads .'heretofore' as well us
thereafter so that the counties Will not
only get out of paying those taxes COM
promised in the future but must also he
given credit for the amount of taxes
paid in the past.

vided for by the legislature and viii de-
pIete the treasury in short order Aside
from having to give credits for all back

NEW BUCKET SHOP LAW
a Circular Letter Issued to Collectors
Of Revenue.

New York, March 9.--It is announced
In a washington special to the Journal
Of Commerce that d circular letter to
collectors of internal revenue is in prepa-
ration by the commissioner of internal
revenue in regard to the changes in the
act Of 1928 made by new revenue laws
in regard to bucketshop transactions.
The Instructions win at the outset
merely call attention to the new law and
direct its inforcement but it is antici-
pated that some questions may arise be-
fore it has been long in operation. The
provisions affecting bucketsnops will
take effect in April, although most
other provisions of the bill will take
effect with the beginning of the new
fiscal year on July l. The existing law
has been interpreted as requiring such
establishments to pay the tax of two
cents for each 500 of par value Of stock
dealt in. The only transactions which
have partially escaped tax have been
those purporting to concern produce and
mercha andiSe.
The bucket shops have claimed under
this limitation that the bets accepted
by them upon the market price of wheat,
corn, cotton and other products were
not consummated on any exchange or
more or less cneerfully the annual II
cense tax of $50 imposed upon brokers.
Now that no distinction is made be-
tween The purported transactions in
stocks and those in produce, more care
ful scrutiny is likely TO be made Of the
books Of the bucketshops, in order to
compel the payment of the tax of two
cents on each $100 levied by the new
law
