There is no use trying to tell you
what it means to me- she went on.
It's not that he's great" A murmur
as of protest came from her husbands
throat, and his eyes flashed a thou
sand twinkles It's because-ah, you
know-it's like knowing the whole
world to know him, only he makes the
world seem different! He has a power
over common things to make them
seem, or rather really be, wonderful.
He's fated to romance. He is it, Why,
from the very first She hesitated,
looking at her husband. ooh, Mac,
do you mind? May l tell him that?"
"Oh, by all means, tell him any
thing!' Mac murmured. He was
watching her like a man enchanted,
but his lips never quite lost the trace
of faint amusement
We'll, then" she turned to Macs
friend with a charming, half-mischie-
vous, half-mysterious air, that meet
ing of ours in the Piazza San Marco
that wasn't quite the first 1t didn't
come to me in a flash that first time
we met; it grew on me as We came to
know each other, the idea that | had
seen him somewhere before.
"At first it was so vague that when
1 stopped to think about it | was sure
it was a fancy. Just because he was
so much the thing | had wanted all
my life he fitted into the past and
present. He slipped into my dream.
But then again when the notion took
hold of me, [ knew it was too definite
for that. | told myself it was because
/ had seen his pictures 1t wasn't
until after we were married that one
day, when he turned and looked at
me suddenly-and you know how he
can loOk-it came to me in a flash,
one of those true flashes that have
nothing to do with thinking, that he
had looked at me in that way before.
Then | knew that l had seen him, not
as a picture or a dream, but really
somewhere in the real world. And
not merely as a passing figure either
i knew we must have looked into
each others eyes.
But as for where it could have
been, I couldn't recall any forms,
color, light: any scrap of furniture
any bit of hill or sky that might
have been his background Just moth
ing but Mac, his face, as if | had met
him in empty space
1T was one of those vexing freaks
of memory, like forgetting a name.
The more [ tried the less | could
think You wonder why l didn't ask
Mac about it? All, you see now that
I remembered l was so afraid he
had forgotten! For, If he did remem-
ber it, why hadn't he spoken of it?
oh, how / watched him; how | waited
TO hear him come out with the ques-
ton, Julie, don't you remember 2
At last ! took my life in my hands
and came out with it to him.
q remember, as if it were this
moment how he dropped the coat he
was holding and turned with a queer,
quizzical sort Of smile See, he has
it noW Why he said, of course |
remember But | was afraid you did
not. You didn't speak. 1 was waiting
for you
ut was as If he had reassured me-
that he loved me. How | pounced
on him, oh, tell me, where was it?'

500. SS66 worth OF property which does not
appear In the 1908 roll.
N effect Of the removal Of illegal fences
n OF other changes in range conditions
is reflected in some assessments. For
Instance. in 1908 the Arbuekle assessment
was on a valuation OF SIS, 30, while In 100
the valuation is only 81. 500, a decrease OF
