Duty Of Citizens.

It is impossible to run town
without money; and a municipal
ity as we'll as a State government,
is compelled to raise money by
means of taxation. 1t then be-
comes the duty of every citizen to
pay the taxes as assessed. For the
purpose of collecting the taxes in
Milford, a collector has been duly
and lawfully elected and the cleo
ton makes it obligatory upon him
to see that every one assessed, com
plies with the law in the payment
of taxes. Therefore we advise all
citizens to pay their taxes, and not
compel those i'll authority to pro-
coed to collect by stringent means
of the law; as it will not only re-
feet upon your honor as a citizen,
but will mean an additional cost as
well.

Kendall was beginning to feel pain

strong probability that Blair was per-

ing his statement until the nature OF
the case should disclose itself. II FL
sic should die, there was little chance
that a man of Blairs type would with
hold his evidence, for in that event
somebody would be directly accused,
and a just person would feel that all
the evidence should be brought for
ward. Blair's present position was
such that Kendall did not know how
to attack II, and so he fell back upon
the matter of his real errand. As to
that there was no difficulty. Blair
promised to call at the hospital with

that she had determined to save Bren-
da from the annoyance to which she
was being subjected and from the
much more serious trouble that might
follow. As she had expressed a wish
to speak With DR.. Blair a few minutes
alone there could be but one Inference
she intended to tell him something
which she had withheld up to that
time. AS Blair was the first physician
who had been called to attend her she
could claim the right of a patient and
put him upon his professional honor

Indeed, certain questions which she
asked made Kendall sure that she had

CHAPTER. XIV.

THRIFT, HORATIO, THRIFT"
The next mornings papers contained
interviews with DR.. Blair in which he
stated IN the most positive macneT
that the mysterious woman vas not
Miss Maclane. This did'r have the
effect of taking Brenda entirely out
Of print, but 1t inspired all the news
paper writer's with caution, for. though
some of them were not able TO believe
that Blair was telling the truth, It was
Impossible to overlook the fact that he
was the only witness.
The most serious of the immediate
results Of this publication was expert
enced by Or. Blair himself about 10
o'clock in the forenoon, whcQ he re-
Ceiyed a call from Captain Neale The
captain seemed not to be representing
the department upon this occasion, for
he was in the dress of private citizen.
Even his shoes were different from a
! policeman's characteristic footwear
As the apparel evidently was not worn
for purposes of disguise. Il might be
assumed that Mr.. Neale had come upon
a personal errand.
When admitted to DR.. Blair'h Office
he first showed interest in all the doors
opening from the room; then he be-
Istowed moments attention upon
some of the Doctors effects which had
been collected as If TO be packed in .

ton which Is in the highest degree con-
fidential."
Il shall treat whatever she says as a
matter between doctor and patient"
replied Blair somewhat too promptly,
as Kendall thought.
Nothing OF importance occurred dur
ing the time when Brenda and Kendall
were present with Blair in Elsies
room. 1t might have been one of the
doctors regular professional calls.
The private conference lasted not
more than five minutes, and it pro-
duced no very notable effect upon FL.
sic, but DR.. Blair seemed 10 have re-
ceived considerable surprise. Ken
dali was far from satisfied with the
mans looks. He was not only agitat-
ed, but he had the air of one who is
