upon the legislature to require rail
ways to pay taxes on property, like
other citizens, and abandon the gross
earnings plan. He says:

LET us have some music" said the
duchess, as she leaned back in her
chair. Leah, let us hear you sing"
Is come-my love is come to me"
She did not heed who was in the
room. The words sprung as it were
from her heart to her lips, She was
thinking just at that time more of her
love than Of her lover-this golden
winged love that had taken her cap
tive and stolen her heart.
Sir Basil came quietly to her side.
Those are quaint lines, Miss Hat
ton" he said Whose are they?"
There was no music on the piano, and
| it struck him suddenly that both
words and notes were imprOmptu. Il
believe" he added impulsively, that
they are your own"
The white fingers wandered over the
keys She made no answer; she was
wondering whether he had guessed
| her secret at last
my love is come to me''-thc words
startled her when she came to think
Of their truth.
Sir Bash left the piano and went
back to his chair, which was placed
outside the long French windows. He
thought more Of Leah than he had
ever thought before He remembered
all that the duchess had told him Of
her fancilul idea that she would be
able to recognize her ideal lover the
moment she saw him; and now she
sung that he bad come, Was it real
| ~ so? He looked round on the men
sitting apart in little groups there
was not one he considered worthy Of
her. He never thought of himself
Each time that night that his eyes
fell ON her fair face the words came
back to him: my love Is come to
me"
She was more shy and timid with
him after that. She avoided him
little. but loved him just as much.
She would have gone through fire and
water for him; she would have made
any sacrifice for him. The marvel
was that the young baronot never
dreamed Of the conquest he had made,
As for Leah, she had not yet begun to
doubt, she felt certain that his love
would be hers in the fulncss of time.
A little incident happened shortly
after this which changed the current
Of their lives and hurried on events.
Sir Arthur lIatton was stranger to
all fair love dreams and sweet fancics,
Lady Bourgoyne had married him
without giving him any trouble; his
comfortable affection for her had
never caused him pang, That he
should understand nature or love
like Lcah's was not to be expected;
but he was one day the unwilling wit. |
moss If little scene that opened his
eyes
In the library stood a large Japanese
screen, and Sir Arthur enjoyed moth
ing more than placing this round one
of the great bay-windows and intrench- !
ing himself therein with his noWspa-
pcrs, and letters. 1t was the
paying the least attention to him, 1t
was he only room in the house whore
he was free from the lively chatter
and laughter Of the girls, or the gossip !
of the Older women.
One morning there was some Indian
news in the Times which interested
him grcatly-lCttcrs written by fellow
officers whose opinions he valued high !
ly. lie wished to be undisturbed, so
he botook himself to his favorite re.

easily be done by assessing the mort
gage as an interest in reality. and
providing that if the tax levied there
on be not paid by the owner of the
mortgaged property and deducted from
the amount of the mortgage debt. As
no piece of taxable property should be
taxed twice, wherever this plan is
proposed it is agreed that the owner
/ of the mortgaged real estate should
have the valuation of the assessment
upon his mortgaged premises reduced
at the time of the assessment. by de-
Quoting from the value thereof the
amount OF the mortgage thereon.
| If it be true that the interest rate is
Increased-which is disputed-it is 4
matter between the borrower and the
lender. The amount of increase which
can be eXacted, if any, will be regu-
lated by the law of supply and de-
mand. Money rates, like the rates
upon any other commodity, are con
trolled by the market price
The Mill Tax.
The governor recommends the linn
itation of the amount which can he
collected under the mill tax law he
fixed at $650,OOO.
The inheritance tax law, enacted IN
| 1899, having been unconstitutional
upon the ground that certain of it's
provisions established unjust and I'M
lawful determinations, the governor
announces that a new tax inheritance
bill is to be prepared and submitted by
the commission
Miscellaneous.
The sO-called antitrust law of Wis
consin is an act without force or eff
feet under existing conditions. says
the governor, and should be strength
ened. coal inquiry is also urged
1t is expected that a settlement will
be reached with the United States
government at a very early date and
that the state will recover approx
mately half million dollars in adjust
Mcnt Of its civil war claim.
The governor finds that school at
tendance in many of the villages and
small cities is comparatively high. and
lne lHeFIlaDIe conclusion is That the
average daily attendance in the coun-
u y schools is probably not more than
IIty per cent. OF the total enrolment
The governor commends the need of
effort to improve the school laws and
make them more effective.

of the subject of the primary election
the governor says:
Il submit that it is not for us to
determine what shall be the scope Of
a law to nominate candidates by direct
vote. This has been settled by tho
people Of Wisconsin, to whom the mat
ter has been referred again. They
have determined that all candidates
