CHAPTER Xxx.

The trees at Great Whitton grew
bright with the tender green of Spring,
and the hedges were budding into leaf.
Gertrude Baumgarten was slowly walking
through one of the country lanes toward
Avon House, enjoying the freshness of
the morning. The sun shone, the skies
were blue and unclouded, the air felt
warm almost as that of summers day,
and the birds sung with rapture that Is
so exhilarating on these days when all
nature is springing into new life and
beauty.
Leaning over the small wicket which
was placed only a few yards from the
large iron gates at Avon House, stood
Lord Avon, looking at her as she ad-
vanced.

AT last?" she repeated. why? Have

Feminine matters in which you can
scarcely be interested" laughed Gertrude.
''I've been matching silks in the village
for my screen work, and it took me a
long time, for l wanted many shades.
Then l went on to see old Mrs. Whit
taker, who grows more deaf and crotchety
day by day. Are you watching for some
one else, Uncle Henry?"
NO." replied Lord Avon; was only
thinking, Gertrude. l am going down
to the rectory presently; your mother

CHAPTER XXI.

Hand locked in hand, they stood to
gether in the dusk of evening at the cham
bers in Pump Court, gazing into one an
others eyes-Cyras and Charles Baum
garten.
1t was the evening after Charles ig-
nominious exit from the house of DR.. Dy
neyor. He had been busy all day; had
been in court, the junior counsel in an
Insignificant case; had made one at
consultation at Lincoln's Inn had been
occupied in other ways. The only per-
sonal thing he had found time to do for
himself was to write a letter to Lord
Avon. And now, the days work over,
and his dinner over, he was mentally de-
liberating as to whether he should at once
apply to the police for counsel in his curl
GUS dilemma, or wait and see what the
next day or two would bring forth
when he heard the sound Of visitor ap-
preaching
A gentleman of free and easy manners
had run up the stairs to the door which
bore on it the name of 'Mr. Charles
Baumgarten." Knocking with the silver
head of his very elegant cane, he had
stood humming tune until the summons
was answered by the boy, Joe. Master
inn" he cried, airily, and walked forward
without waiting for reply, as if he knew
his way about the chambers as well as
Joe himself did. The boy stared in amaze
ment; he had never seen two people so
much alike as this gentleman and his
master.
Charley, lad p Joe heard him say in
salutation.
The resemblance was certainly wonder
full. Height, figures, features, even the
voices were the same. Only in the ex
preston of the two countensnces a differ
ence might be seen. That of Cyras was
gay, light, laughing as if he had never
in his whole life heard of a thing called
care; that of Charles was thoughtful and
rather sad. And their resemblance to
their late father, the dean of Denham, was
as great as it was to one another.
Don't you know me, Charley?"
Intense surprise had struck Charles
dumb.
Eyes, 1 know you, Cyras, my brother
but l can't believe yet that it is really
you"
There's no mistaking the likeness"
laughed Cyras. Look at yourself in the
glass, and then look at me. Folks might
surprise, Charley"
II am more than surprised; 1 am be-
wildered. Sit down. How long have you
been In England"
"a few weeks. But most of it has
been spent in Paris, not in England I've
been sticking to work like brick for
long time, and thought 1 had earned
holiday so 1 came over to the old coun-
try, to see you all. When l arrived l
found you had all flown in different direc-
tons; you gone on circuit, and Berkeley
Square shut up"
'They are staying at Great Wilton
with Uncle Avon. You should have sent
us word that you were coming, Cyras"
81 couldn't. I steamed away from Wei
lington the very same day that 1 made up
| my mind to come over. The fact is,
| Charley, but I need not bother you
by going into everything" added Cyras.
"How is the dear mother?"
"Quite WELL"
"And Gertrude? Is she as pretty as
ever? Any chance of her getting spliced?"
"Well, l can't say anything for GER
TAIN" hesitated Charles. But I should
not very much wonder if we heard of
wedding before very long. 1t is Everard
| Wilmot."

CHAPTER XIX Continued.)
She swept away majestically, leaving
Charles to make an ignominious exit from
the house. But Charles was not in a hur-
~ to do it. He wanted to explain, yet
with whom? The subdean was so hot and
peppery, especially in the first blush of
an affair, and that an explanation with
him generally did more harm than good.
Apart from that, what explanation had
Charles to give? None. None that would
be believed. AS he stood thus thinking,
the room door was slowly pushed open
and Regina appeared.
"She's gone, isn't she, Charley? Was
she very dreadful?"
very" returned Charley, shutting the
door.

one can come up to her, and it's many a
year since she had such grievance as
this one," went on Regina. oh, Char
ley, what fun 1t was how did you pluck
up the courage? and who was it?'
Just tell me what you've heard" said
he.

You should have heard Aunt Ann in her
room last night, old Janet says, and all
the names she called you'll
II suppose this has been told to
Mary?"
Trust Aunt Ann for that Who was
the lady, Charley?"
II wonder, Regina, whether you'll be-
lieve me if 1 tell you something's"
TRY me. Perhaps you are going to
say 1t was Gertrude?"
Gertrude Is at Great Wilton, you
know. l don't know who it was, Regina,
for l was not at tho theater at ALL
was in chambers all the night. I've heard
of this already. A friend of Peter Ches-
ter's thought he saw me there-just as
you describe. 1t must have been some
fellow who bears a resemblance to me.
Can't you get Mary to come down to me :?
Do, Regina. And you will please tell her
from me that there's not word of truth
In the tale. l must see her for a minute
or two."'
"She will have to smuggle herself down
the staircase, then Aunt Ann is sure to
be on the watch" returned Regina. "Tn
60 and see."
Very shortly Mary came stealing in.
She was looking pale, but in better health
than before she went to Brighton. Charles
stood before her in agitation.
Mary, before l attempt to greet you,
let me assure you that the story which
they have got up about me is utterly
false. You will not believe IT'D"
"Oh, no, no." she wildly said as she
burst into tears and put her head upon
his breast. He was about to clasp her
in his arms when the door was flung back
and DR.. Dynevor walked in.
To Charles confused establishment, he
found that all was known. The repudi-
ated bill for jewelry the lady with paint
ed cheeks on his arm at the theater; the

Item had been confidently mentioned that
afternoon by the bishop of Denham.
The subdean rang the bell. 'The door
for Mr.. Charles Baumgarten," he said
to the servant.

She had mortgaged her house and furniture to get money to pro- vide for the bare necessities during the long illness of her husband A money lender in this city held the mortgage and had charged a high rate of interest. He was going to foreclose. Mir Smith heard of the case. took up the notes himself and restored the home to the wife.

In a newly revised form it was again tried at Bresica on May 2S of the same year, with krnscenisk as Butterfly. Strange to say, it proved wonderful success. It was then produced again at La Scala in its new shape and Milan went into come the greates success of years at Naples, Budapest.

MOT0RMAN HITS
 NEGRO OYER HEAD
FRACTURED SKULL AND BAD BRUISES ARE RESULT OF CON- TRovERSY ON SOUTH 18th ST. CAR YESTERDAY MORNING.

Ali, alias Dick Wash ington, a negro, lies in the hospital at the county jail with a fractured skull and an other wise badly bruised head as the result of a disturbance which he raised with the conductor on one of the South Eff teenth street cars yesterday morn- ing.
 The negro, it seems, had some dis pute with the conductor about his fare and after some words it is al- legged that he jumped on the conductor, who was trying to put him off the ear. The motorman, who had stopped the car. tried to quiet the negro but could not do so by other means than to strike him across the head with the switch stick which stood on the front platform of the car. The negro was knocked down and had to be taken to the hospital.
 It was thought at St. Vinoent's 'hos- pital, where the negro was moved that his skull was fractured After dressing his head the doctors at the hospital turned the negro over to the authori- ties and he was removed to the county jail and placed in the hospital ward.

EVERYTHING READY
 FOR BIG ELKS' TREE
PRESENTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AT O'CLOCK CHRISTMAS DAY. HUNDREDS OF YOUNGSTERS> WILL BE CARED FOR.

The distribution of presents on the Elks' Christmas tree will begin at 3 o'clock Christmas afternoon. q More ap- plications have been received for this years Christmas tree than any previous year, but every child will be cared for, and no child in Birmingham will be al- lowed to be disappointed by not receiving something from Santa Claus.
 If there are any children to whom their parents cannot afford to give presents on Christmas, the officers in charge of the tree request that their names be sent in immediately. It Is the intention that no child will be allowed to be dlsap- pointed on the day of Peace on Earth; Good Will Toward Man"
 The number of children already down on the list amounts to several hundred, and the Elks' home will be one of the liveliest and happiest places in Birming ham Christmas afternoon. The tree will be the largest one that can be gotten in- to the building, and will be almost com pietely hidden under the great number of presents with which it will be weighed down.
 Dolls and everything Nelse that go to make the little girl happy will be there in abundance. while the many things that go to make jumping jack of joy out of the small boy will be on the tree.
 A special invitation has been sent to Santa Claus to make a stop over in Bir- mingham on his return trip home to the trip around the world between midnight, Christmas Eve and sunrise Christmas morning. Dear old Santa Claus gladly accepted the invitation and will arrive sharp to hand out the presents off the tree to those children whom he failed to find on his early morning trip {.

STATE MUST ALSO
 MAKE UP DEFICIT
GEORGIA IS ALREADY FIGURING ON HOW TO MEET LOSS OF REV ENUE FROM STATE TAX ON LIQUOR.

While the kick is being made in Blr- mingham about the increase in licenses in order to make up the deficit caused by prohibition, there will also be an- other deficit to make up exactly one year hence, when state prohibition goes into effect January 1, 1909. The state, of course, derives q certain amount of revenue from the whisky traffic and this deficit will have to be made up in some manner.
 Georgia has to face this proposition on the first of the coming year, which gives abama chance to investigate the method of making I'D this revenue. The following which appeared in the Atlanta Constitution yesterday explains how this is to be made up in that state:
 Under the new tax Jaws which go into effect on the first of the year there are many new branches of business that will be liable and the most of these are in the insurance line where heretofore there have been no state and county taxes required.
 Besides the new taxes, increases have been made in several instances. Most of these go for educational purposes. as did the whisky revenue, which will be abol- ished with state prohibition. the idea in levying new taxes being to offset the HllSS1nR TeNtHut
 "A s25 per annum tax will be levied on special and travelling agents of as- sessment, industrial sick benefit and and live stock insurance companies while the local insurance agents or firms and insurance brokers or firms will be required to pay s10 for each company represented.
 Matrimonial or nuptia1 agencies will be forced to pay $100 a year to the state for their existence.
 'Traveling and special agents of life. fire and accident companies must pay $50 for each agent before they can be authorized to act.
 ''The soda fountains do not escape the new tax laws Five dollars will be lev fed on each draft arm and other devices used in drawing carbonated water mak- ing it goodly amount on the large founts.
 None of these has been taxable in the past.
 Increases will be made in the taxes of pawn brokers. cigarette dealers, auto dealers and pool and billiard parlors.
 While heretofore pawn brokers were assessed sioo, in 1908 they will pay s200' a doubling of the sum.
 "cigarette dealers and those who sell tobacco and give cigarette papers away will pay s25 instead of the old tax of s10.
 .'The tax on auto dealers has been raised from $50 to s1oo and pool and bil- Hard parlors which have paid s25 for each table will now be called on for $40 per table"
