| was thus doubly engaged in listen
ing to my lovers words and in watch
ing the various gentlemen who went
up and down the steps when a former
partner advanced and reminded me
that l had promised him a waltz.
Loath to leave Mr.. Durand, yet seeing
no way of excusing myself to Mr.. Fox,

partner had taken me on his arm.
Was Mrs. Fairbrother the lady with
the diamond? Yes. AS 1 turned to
enter the parlor with my partner 1
caught a glimpse of Mr.. Durand's tall
figure just disappearing from the step
behind the sage green curtains.
"Who Is Mrs. Fairbrother?" l In
qulred of Mr.. Fox at the end of the
dance.
Mr.. Fox, who Is one Of soeiety's
perennial beaux,- knows everybody.
"She is-well, she was Abner Fair
brothers wife. You know Fairbrother,
the millionaire who built that curious
structure on Eighty-sixth street. At
present they are living apart-an ami
cable understanding, believe. Her
diamond makes her conspicuous. 1t Is
one OF the most remarkable stones In
New York. perhaps in the United
States. Have you observed it?"
'Yes-that Is, at distance. Do you
think her very handsome?"
Mrs. Fairbrother? She's called so,
but she's not my style" Here he gave
me a killing glance. 81 admire women

terror was afforded me as we turned
to retraee our steps in front of the yell
low divan. The lady with the diamond
was still there. A fold of the superb
pink velvet she wore protruded across
the gap made by the half drawn cur
tains, just as it had done a half hour
before. But it was impossible to see
her face or who was with her. What
could see. however, and did was the
figure of man leaning against the
wall at the foot of the steps At first |
thought this person unknown to me;
then l perceived that he was no other
than the chief guest of the evening, the
Engllshman of whom l have previous
ly spoken.
His expression had altered. He
looked now both anxious and absorbed

surprised that no one ventured to ap
proach him. Again l wondered AMI
again l asked myself for whom or for
what he was waiting. For Mr.. Dursnd
to leave this lady's presence? No, no;
l would not believe that. Mr.. Du'and
could not be there still, yet some wo-
men make 1t difficult for a nan to
leave them. and. realizing this, could
not forbear casting n parting glance
behind me as, yielding to Mr. FoXs
opportunities, | turned toward The sup
per room. 1t showed me the English
man in the act of lifting two cups of
coffee from a small table standing near
the reception room door. As his man
ner plainly betokened whittier he was
bound with this refreshment, felt all
my uneasiness vanish and was able To
take my seat at one of the small tables
with which the supper room was filled
and for few minutes at least lend an
ear to Mr.. FoXs vapid compliment and
trite opinions. Then my attention wan

my gaze from the scene before me

filed supper room-yet l found myself

outlines for me to get decided i'm

opposite me with the feeling of one
who has just seen a vision. Yet almost
Immediately l forgot the whole occui-
renee in my anxiety as to Mr.. Du-
rand's whereabouts. Certainly he was
amusing himself very much elsewhere
or he would have found an opportunity
OF Joining me long before this. He
was not even in sight, and l grew
weary OF the endless menu and the
senseless chltchat of my companion
and fnling him amenable TO my

bought the set 30-l6-25 for $4,000. 90
One-fifth is $4,000 which at Is
mills would amount to 1920 county
tax. This land is listed at 1905. 90
which at 10 mills is 50 05 the pres
emit county tax. Now Larson Bros
comfy tax can be inci eased from
50 05 to So 30 and n exceed the
limit
In Aug. 1906 Arson E. Wood
worth purchased the 81 nw1 and
Ind sw4 sec. 3-16-17 for $4,000. 90
one fifth of which is 100000 and
at Is mills would be $24.00. This
same land is listed for 100000 one
fifth value at time of assessment.
Now 100000 at 10 mills the pres
ent county levy is $500 the present
county tax. You will see that Mr.
Woodworth's county tax can be in
creased from $500 to S24.00 and
not go beyond the limit
In April 1907 William HI. Hughes

at $4,000 which at 10 mills is $3.50
county lax. Mr.. Hughes county
tax can be increased from So. 80 to
$l1 .63 and not exceed the limit
I You can readily see that all lands
have increased greatly in this coun'
ty, and at the next assessment will
be assessed on the above basis, and
you will also observe that with an
increase in value and the levy raised
from 10 mills to Is mills your coun-
ty Tux can be increased from 3 to 4
times higher than they are now.
And l am sure that in cvse OF divis'
ion that the enormous expense OF
transcribing the record, building
proper county buildings will re
qnire the limit in value and the
limit In levy for many years and
then some more.
Be careful how you vote that you
don't put on greater tax burden
than you now have.

Sample Ballot Received.

County Clerk Pigman has re-
ceived from Secretary of State
Junkin a sample ballot of the
state ticket to be used at the
election on Nov. 5th. The
sample is to be used as a guide so
that the ballots in every county
in the state may be uniform.
The secretary of state placed
the names of the candidates for
railway commissioner after the
candidates for regents, for the
reason, he said, the railway COM
mission became a part of the
state constitution after all the
other state officers and therefore
should be last on the ballot.
The republican state convention
placed the railway commissioners
in nomination even before the
governor and Immediately fol.

candidate for the United States
senate. AT the top of the sample
ballot the prohibition party comes
last, following the socialists,
even though the prohibitionists
cast S, 100 votes and the socialists
only 1900 at the last election.
The law requires the secretary
of state to place the candidates
on the ticket according to the
number of votes cast by the party.
That is, the party casting the
