City Objects 10 Taxes.

City Attorney Snyder began suit in the
district court yesterday to enjoIn the
county treasurer from collecting taxes on
some 100 lots owned by the city on West
Broadway. The lots in question become the
property OF the city on foreclosure for
special taxes. On behalf Of the city Il is
commended that the property is held for
public use and was not acquired for pecu-
mary profit, but only to secure debt due
the city and is not held for rent or increase

The question raised in the suit Is Of con
siderable interest, as IL is believed here

facts About Polar Bears, Arctic Foxes,
Ptarmagan, Blue Hares.
, A polar bear would not have chance
in stalking seals if it were of darker
ealar. Thasonly black snot about it is
the tip Of its nose. The sailors who
first landed on various unknown arctic
shores and bays stated that the bears
used to take them for seals, and begin
to stalk them at a considerable dis
tance, lying down fiat on their bellies
in the attitude in which the we'll
known photograph by Gambler Bolton
shows the old polar bear at the Zoo,
and wriggling along in that position
until they came up to an ice hummock,
when they would get up, peer over to
see if the "seals" were alarmed, and
wriggle on again. The sailors added
that they could always see the black
nose when the bear got near, and VOW
ed that the bear put his paw over his
muzzle to hide it.
The arctic foxes, the "blue' hare, the
ptarmigan, ryper, and ermine all un-
dergo the seasonable change to white
by an identical process. The hair or
feathers, as the case may be, lose color
and turn pure white by what may al
most be described as an instantaneous
process. In the foxes and birds the
white comes in patches; but the speed
Of color change is remarkable. There
are many stories Of people whose hair
has turned white from shock ''in a
single night" Judging by the birds
and foxes, these stories must be true.
No one ever sees the process of fad
ing going on. The feather or patch of
fur which was brown or smoky gray
suddenly whitens. Yet no one has ac-
tually seen the color going. The ex-
PLANTATION usually given is that 1t takes
place by night. There seems no "half-
way" tint between the white and the
original color.-SpectatOr.

CHAPTER XVIII.

1t is ten o'clock, and night, like heavy
shroud, lies over wood and garden. Tom
Peyton is treading with cautious steps
the upper part of the garden on his way
to the ruin.
Safely he makes his way to the old
house, to get the letter he knows will
await him there. Poor darling, what
will be in it? Further vexations? With
q desire to avoid all risks, he elects to
enter by the back, where a large rent
in the dilapidated walls will enable him
to squeeze through the room where the
letter from Griselda will be.
Voices decidedly, and in the next room
The speaker at this instant is Mr.. Dy~
sart. The second voice is strange to him
coarse, vulgar and dictatorial, and
very threatening.
The voices grow in wrath; the un-
known one being loud in vituperation
And now, all suddenly as it were, the
voices cease; there is a strained silence,
as if each man waits with drawn sword
for the others next word, and then-a
sickening sound. A dull, awful blow, as
of oak meeting flesh and blood, a ghastly
groan, and then-sileuce.
Great heaven! What has happened? :?
Has he killed that old man? Peyton
springs IoIW dEu, IOohS upon tue Iuuer
room, he stops short, as if shot, to stare
aghast upon the scene before him.
Upon the earthen floor lies a huge fg-
ure, apparently dead, while standing over
it is Mr.. Dysart, his face alight with a
CHASTITY hope, his wild eyes cleaning A
heavy oaken stick is in his hand. The
murderous bludgeon is uplifted to COM
plete crime already begun-to finish his
work, to make sure of the helpless vic
tim at his feet, when Peyton, uttering a
loud cry, rushes from the spot where
until now he lay concealed.
There is an instant's hush, a strange
hush, and then a conyulsiye shiver runs
through the old man. An ashen grayness
has risen from chin to brow. He filings
up his arms, for a second or two, clutches
foolishly at the air, and then falls with
a dull thud across the body of his enemy.
Peyton runs through the garden, never
pausing or drawing breath until the
house is reached. Knocking impatiently
with his knuckles and receiving no .n-
swer, he so far gives way to the agi-
tation that Is consuming him as to smash
pane with a stone. This brings Seaton

HATS OF OUR ANCESTORS,
Changes that Have Taken Place In
Manufacturing Headsear.

Manufacturing HeadEear.
speaking of the hat business" said
a veteran of the business to the local
historian, most wonderful changes
have taken place since 1850. In olden
times soft felt and derby hats We're not
known, and it was as late as 1913 when
silk dress hats were first introduced in
this country, this being a French in
vention, and all silk plush used for
hats in the world was, up to this time,
made in France. When KOssuth came
to America he introduced the soft felt
hats, wearing one himself. 1t did not
take American hatters long to take up
the idea, and in less than one year old
and young Americans covered them
heads with Kossuth hats. They were
in shape nearly the same as tourist
hats now, only being trimmed up with
a nice, long ostrich plume. Along about
1858 an English tourist came along
with the derby hat, and in very few
years they became the general head
gear in the country, and up to the pres
ent date the demand for soft hats and
derby hats is nearly evenly divided.
I'm those days all the best class of
soft hats were imported from France,
and stiff derbies from England. This,
however, has taken a material change,
as American hats are now sold in all
parts of the globe, and it is a known
fact that we produce the most tasty
and best hats made. Before the arrival
of Kossuth and the English tourist,
however, the Americans did not 90
bareheaded, but contented themselves
with mapped otter and mapped beaver
hats, for the more expensive, and the
so-calied scratch-up or brush hats for
the cheaper. Brush or scratch-up de-
rive their name from the fact that nap
was raised on them by means of a stiff
brush constructed of whalebones. The
first manufacturers who made Ameri-
can production in those goods popular
and world-renowned, and who forced
French and English hats out of this
market. were Rinaldo NJ. Waters, John
B. Stetson, J. D. Bird and B. J. Brown.
During the early periods of 1910
and 1850 dealer was halter in fact,
else there would have been no room for
him, as all made the hats they sold, all
handwork, no machines of any kind,
and one who knew how to make q nap
ped otter or beaver hat was an artist,
earning $40 to $50 per week being
nothing unusual, many making from
S75 to S1OO."-St. Louis GIobe-Demo-
Graf

"It In I, Dysart-Tom Peyton. Come
nnt come ont nnicklv Your father.'' %

"It In I, Dysart-Tom Peyton. Come
out. come out quickly. Your father,
painting, lis hurts very ill!'
My father" says Seaton. as if NOT
believing. But where-how?"
I'm the garden-up there in the old
ruin. Oh, hurry, man, hurry; you can
hear all afterwardr'
Seaton hardly dares to venture re-
mark, but, having with trembling fingers
clothed himself, follows Peyton out
through the window in the chill night
air, and soon the two young men are
tearing like hunted things through the
gardens to that fatal old ruin at the end
of them.
Here everything is just as Peyton left
it. The old man lying dead, with more
peaceful expression on his face than had
ever been there while he ived-the 9th
er, the stranger, almost as motlonless as
his enemy, save for a faint quiver of the
lips and nostrils every now and then.
Who was he? What had brought him
here? Peyton turns to Seaton with these
questions on his lips. 1t is imperative
that something about the stranger be dis
covered-and at once.
Seatoa is still holding his fathers body
in his arms, inexpressible grief upon his
countenance. The old man had been
stern, hard, begrudging, but he had loved
his son well, and the son knew it. Pey-
ton touches him lightly ON the shoulder.
"Rouse yourself" he says, in low,
earnest tone. you know this manT
''No-not at all. / never saw him be-
fore"
What! you can tell me nothing? Oh,
think, Dysart" says Peyton, with in
creasing anxiety. ''If you know nothing
we shall scarcely be able to see how to
act. Exert your memory, man."
1T is useless. l swear l never saw
him before" He compels himself to look
again at Sedley, and shiver of disgust
shakes him. Il know only this-that he
has killed my father"
"You forget" says Peyton, very quiet
ly. He would have been thankful, glad,
to be able to leave his friend in this be-
lief, but he knew 1t would be impossible.
Il saw the whole thing. There was a
quarrel, about what did not hear, but
it was your father who knocked that
fellow down."
''Well, it killed him." says Seaton, ex-
citedly. "The excitement of that quar-
rel was too much for him. I still main
tain that that man caused his DEATH"
He covers his face with his hands.
Nevertheless, we cannot leave him
here to die. Come, Seaton, take your
courage in your hands. Think if there
be no way to avoid the scandal that must
necessarily arise out of all this. For
for the sake of your poor fathers MEM
ory, bestir yourself"
1t is a potent argument. Seaton fushes
hotly, and the old touch Of power returns
to bis face.
Together they carry the two bodies into
the house, under cover of the silent
night. Mr.. Dysart to his own room, and
then up the stairs, and through the end
less corridors, that other groaning,
scarcely living burden; up always until
a disused chamber in a remote corner of
the old tower is reached, where it is be-
yond probability that any one in the
house save these three who know, will
ever seek to penetrate.
(To be continued.)
