for her, and had helped to build her

showed him the way out of the thick

There Billy-boy sat down to rest;
for his clothes were dry, all except his
pocket handkerchief, which he made
wetter than ever by shedding into it
another cupful of tears. After that he
walked sedately down the woodland
path toward home. The way had SEEM

he walked slowly. It seemed to Billy

and Charlie-boy found four pockets in
them, two before and two behind and,
after wearing them for week, he dis
covered another pocket for change.
She unwrapped the hat that she had
bought in the city for Billy-boy. She
thought of the pepper-box, the pond,

receive the hat. He had only the hot

Big Hand for Adams.

Judge Henry c. Niles, Of the fed
eral court, has dissolved the injunc-
ton proceedings Of the Singer Sew
ing Machine company instituted for
the purpose of restraining State Rev.
enue Agent Writ Adams from enforc-
ing collection Of a delinquent tax
claim on the corporation.
This is the most important legal
victory that has been achieved by the
state revenue agent since his famous
suit against the Y. & M. V. road in
which he collected back taxes amount
ing to $1,750,00o.
The amount of the claim against
the Singer Sewing Machine company
amounts in round figures, to about
$35O,0O0, including state, county aud
municipal taxes, and the decision of
Judge Niles means that the corpora
ton will eventually be forced to pay
over this amount.
