seconds thoughtfully, then turned upon
his heel and strobe out of the room.
Donald walked to one Of the windows
and stood there, moodily staring ont.
Not knowing just what to say. busted
myself in wrapping up the papers and
returning them TO the safe.
Can this be confidential: UNCLE
said Donald-"everything that hap
pens between US this afternoon? Why
bother my father with it yet? Let's
wait until we get to the bottom of it.
I'm willing, Donald said l. ''if you
think it important"
ut is indeed" he replied. And now
before you lock uD tie safe III give
you this
He drew i great roll Of money from
the side pocket Of lis sack coat.
Mr.. Gillespie was suspicious that
the amount might be trife short" he
said. sIt is. There's $1,000 missing
almost all the smaller bills"
I was so overpowered by surprise
that l did not at first notice this new
instance of the accuracy with which
Donald could quote remarks which
were not made in his presence. He had
repeated Gillespie's suspicion precisely.
You have found itE' exclaimed.
81 had to- replied Donald. This
man was coming to make this charge
against my father. 1t was absolutely
necessary that I should find that mon
ey. Put it away. please. Quick! Some
one is coming"
Donaldson and Jim Bum entered,
the former waving his hand. in which
there was letter.
"The proxy from Silas Harrington!
he cried. '"The branch is safe. We can
win now by fifty shares even if Thorn
dyke votes against u.s."
"If Mr.. Thorndyke votes against
you," said Donald gloomily, you will
lose by fifty shares"
We all stared at him.
There's no possible way to figure
that out" said Donaldson.
'I don't figure it out" said Donald;

what will happen. 1t is what would
happen if I didn't know it. Is that
clear?"

laughing.

How the dickens did we get such
a result as that?" I asked. Thorn
dyke must have voted for US and Bum
against u.s."
''Thcrndyke voted for u.s. said Don
aldson, 'and Bum voted fos US. This
man voted against u.s."
Carl l exclaimed. impossible"
''My son tried to warn me of this
long ago." said Donaldson, "and I
would not hear him."
''It is a matter Of business" said
Carl harshly. u am stockholder Of
this company. vote as my interest
dictates"
"Thorndyke," cried Donaldson, seiz-
ing the mans arm as he was passing,
"did my son know how you were going
to vote?"
"Well, to be frank with you" replied
Thorndyke, 'your son is responsible
for it. I had thought that saw my
interest clear to vote with the other
party, but at a late hour last even
ing your son came to my house with
Mr.. Bum, and I then learned what an
Internally crooked game this man Kel-
vim has been playing. Between us,
gentlemen, and to use the slang Of the
day, I couldn't stand for it.'
"Why didn't you lift the weight
from our minds by telling US this?'
I demanded.
young Mr.. Donaldson desired that
l should say nothing" was the reply,
"and I seemed to see his point"
For the first time in Lis He Thorn
dyke had kept secret.
Don't you underestimate said Don
aldson. ARCHER, Archer! He's the
man whom my son was fighting
against. If Bum had stayed away,
Archer would have voted with US, and
we'd have lost the election just the
same, supposing that Thorndyke had
not changed his mind. But with Bum
here to vote for US and Thorndyke
supposedly safe for the Kelvin party,
Archer's vote would turn the scale,
and it could be turned in no other 1oay.
Kelvin would force him to cast it.
Donald has foreseen this long time.
It was the only way to unmask this
man completely
"Unmask, eh?" cried Carl. "Well, I'll
do little unmasking. Kelvin, where's
that man Gillespie?"
Come awayr growled Kelvin.
you're making a fool of yourself. It's
all over"
"No; not quite" said Carl. "Jim
Bum, answer me this: Who stole that
money? Who got the $4,000? You
know. Is this the man,"
He struck Donaldson roughly on the
shoulder.
"No,"~ answered Bum almost in a
whisper. You'll get no lies from me. I
am the man."
Carts hands dropped to his sides.
care you-are you such ID fool
as that? Go to states prison, then, If
you want to and die in cage like
rat"
Bum shrank away as if he had re-
ceiyed blow in the face, while Archer
turned on his heel and walked out Of
the room, followed by Kelvin.
"He has played the game too hard"
said Donaldson. "The strain has smash
ed his wits"
upon my word" said l. 81 don't
quite see what his game was"
"Powerw answered Bum. "Kelvin's
control Of this road would have forced
your business into the trust. You
would have made the best terms. you
could and would have retired from &C
tive management. Kelvin promised
Archer that he should have the whip
hand Of everything here, and you can
see what that would have meant for
Donaldson. AS for me, they had me in
q trap"

Taxpavers return what they own on
the first day OF January, 1903.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer IN
full, also make separate return 1or
each party for the township the prop
ertv IS in. and where the/ taxpayers
owns realty, to insert the postotfice as
their place of residence, and those who
only own personal property. to give the
partv's name who owns the land they
live on as their residence, which aids
the taxpayer as well as the County
Treasurer in making the collections
and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
of twenty-one and sixty years on the
first day Of January, 1903, except those
incapable of earning a support from
being manned, or from other causes,
shall be deemed taxable polls. This
does not apply to Confederate soldiers
over fifty years of age. who are exempt.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February will have
a penalty OF so per cent. added thereto,
unless out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time
of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting OF taxes
is all done now in the same year, and
we have to aggregate the number and
value of all the horses, cattle, mules,
etc.. and their value that there Is IN
the county, and have same on file in the
Comptroller Generals office by the
thirtieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day of Octo-
ber each year the Auditor and Treas
urer's duplicate has to be completed
and an abstract of the work IN the
Comptroller's office by that time, which
will Show at glance that the Auditor
has no time to take in returns or GO
ANYTHING else much, between the first
dav of March and the first day OF Octo-
ber each year but work on the books
and Blanks. Therefore l hope that all
taxpayers will do me the favor OF max
inc their returns in time.

DR.. EATON'S ATTACK.
DR.. Dickinson Says he herald VIII Take
Hand In the Discussion.

The apparent attack Of the Western
Recorder, of Louisville, edited by Or. l.
r, Eaton, upon DR.. w. H Whitsitt, OF
this city, was the theme of conversation
in church circles yesterday. The matter
was being discussed on all sides and some
wonderment was expressed at what Will
be the next move in the matter.
The latest development yesterday was
the emphatic statement made to the Ell
feet that DR.. Eaton has declined to deny
that he meant DR.. Whltsltt in the ar
row-head" article, which caused all the
trouble. He will not answer one way Or
another, saying that the public VIII nave
to draw its own differences. Several let
tiers have been received here within the
past day or two from out-of-town places,
and it is understood that in them is con-
tanned the information of DR.. EatonS re-
fusal to reply.
The Religious Herald, Of this CITY,
which, it will be recalled, was Included
in DR.. Eatons charges. is preparing to
enter the lists against the Recorder The
columns OF the paper. DR.. a. E. Dickin-
son, the editor. said yesterday, will
be thrown open to DR.. w. E. Hatcher.
who is also among those attacked by DR..
Eaton. DR.. Hatcher, it is understood,
has some interesting and spicy things to
say and will at once proceed to say them.
In addition, DR.. c. S. Gardner pastor OF
the GraCe-StreetG Baptist Church, and d.
w r. L. Smith. pastor of the Second
Church, have written communications to
the Herald. which will be printed proba--
bly, next week These articles express
intense indignation atFDr. Eaton's actions
and set forth some other things besides.
Then. again. the Herald itself will take
UP the matter. It has been charged with
shielding the criminal and it will refute
this charge
In the current issue of the Herald, which
was just out yesterday. DR.. W. w. Lam
drum. formerly of this city, now of At
lanta, Ga, writes a lengthy article con
corning the Diaz matter in Cuba and 9TH
er things Concerning the Whitsitt mat
ter. DR.. Landrum says in part:
