I've questioned every farmer as to his
crops. I've questioned every merchant
in every village as to his possible ship
ments by the railroad and as to the
amount of goods he hopes to sell if the
railroad is built Their replies are
hopelessly discouraging. Taking their
outside estimates as certain, there can
not be enough traffic over such a line
for twenty years to come to pay operat-
ing expenses. In the meantime the
men whom you are asking to build the
road must lose not only the interest on
their investment, but the investment
itself. I know all the facts that bear

Duncan scanned the face of his in

from his seat, and with utterance
choked by emotion managed to say:

She accepted the caress in that spirit,
seemingly, and then she turned toward
the hall door, saying:

could not interpret. At last her lips
parted, and she said:

CHAPTER XVIII.

VF Guilford Duncan had been a little
more worldly wise than he was he
would have gone at once to Captain
u Will Hallam. He would have told
that shrewdest OF shrewd men Of the
world all that had passed between him
self and Tandy, and he would have
asked Will Hallam's advice as to what
course to pursue
Instead of that Guilford Duncan
went at once to Barbara. He had a
need of sympathy rather than a need
OF advice, and he had learned to look
to Barbara. above all other people in
the world, for sympathy.
He was still a good deal disturbed in
his emotions when Barbara greeted
him on the little porch, and it was a
rather confused account that he gave
her Of what had happened.
Il don't quite understand" said Bar
bara at last perhaps if you have a
cup Of tea you can make the matter
clearer" and without waiting for as
sent or dissent, she glided out to the
kitchen, whence she presently returned
bearing a fragrant cup of Oolong.
"Now," she said after he had slipped
the tea, tell me again just what has
happened. You were too much excited
when you told me before to tell me
clearly"
'Well, it amounts to this" answered
Duncan. THAT scoundre Tandy"-
Stop said Barbara in an authorita-
tive tone "Never mind Tandy's char
acter. If you go off on that you'll new
er make me understand"
In spite of his agitation Duncan
laughed. How you do order me
aboutr
ooh, pardon mer exclaimed the girl
in manifest alarm. IL didn't mean to
do that. / would never think of doing
such thing / only meant
"My dear Miss Barbara, ! fully I'M
derstand. / need ordering about to-
night, and l heartily wish you would
take me In hand"
ooh, but / could never presume to
do thatv
II don't see why" answered Dun
can. "You are my good angel, and it
is the business of my good angel to
regulate me and make me behave as
] should"
"But, Mr.. Duncan
But Barbara"-lt was the first time
he had ever addressed her by her CIV
en- name and without the "Mlss"-'you
know love you, or you ought to know
! ii. You know / want you to be my
wife. Say that you will and then |
shall be free to tell you all my trou-
bles and to take your advice in all OF
them. Say that you love me, Barbara!
Say that you Will marry mew
All this was in contravention OF
Guilford Duncan's carefully laid plans,
as declaration of love is apt to be so
long as women are fascinating and
men are human. He had intended TO
put the thought OF his love for Bar
bara into her unsuspecting mind by In
genious "trick and device" 1t had
been his plan presently to escort her
to church. to the concerts that now and
then held forth at the Athenaeum, to
Mrs. Hallam's for a game Of croquet,

PHONE TAX CLASH
Due IN COUNCIL
ALDERMEN BALK ON ABATE-
MENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENT.
Twin City Telephone Company Wants
to Know Why It Is Assessed on
Frontage Improvements when It Pays
Gross Earnings and Its Competitor
Is Not Specially Assessed.

An application from the Twin City |
Telephone company for the abatement !
Of special assessments for paving and
sprinkling in front Of its property at
Third avenue 8 and Seventh street was
denied yesterday by the council COM
n,ittee on taxes, after spicy debate.
Alderman Charles B. Holmes, who had
his fighting clothes on, in making the
motion to deny, said:
These companies are continually
asking the city for favors and are fill
ing our streets with poles and the at
asked to pay their share Of improve
ments, they object and come running
here to have the assessments abated.
I am surprised at your Cheek he
said, turning to Harlan P. Roberts, who
appeared for the telephone company.
When Mr.. Roberts recovered his sec
ond wind, he argued that the company
was simply acting under lis legal rights.
It paid a gross earnings tax in lieu
of all local taxes ard assessments and
for his part he objected to being
'tabused like. robber.''
Alderman Holmes declared that he
had no apologies to make for his words
| and would repeat them anywhere. He
followed his former motion with an
other, providing that no more favors be
extended to the companies until their
! ssessments had been paid. Both mo-
/ tions were passed unanimously and will
| be presented to the council at it's meet.
/ ing tomorrow evening.
Mr.. Roberts, as attorney for the
| the following statement in regard to
the attitude of the company in the
matter of special assessments:
t "When the Twin City Telephone
+ company obtained it's charter from the
city Of Minneapolis, the law that was
in force in the state required that tel
ephone companies pay a gross earn.
ings tax Of 3 per cent in lieu Of all
taxes and assessments.
tsThe company has paid its gross
earnings tax regularly, and was not
! aware that any attempt was being
made to levy any local taxes contrary
to the provisions of law. We recently
: discovered that special assessment!
have been levied since 1901, and
promptly applied for the cancellation
of same. .- ... g.. ~ -
