Lloyd George says he wants to tax
the rich for the benefit of the poor.
Aldrich and Serene Payne profess no
such high purpose.
But the effect Is the same. as the
opposition both here and there are
quick TO point out
In England is a party which wishes
TO raise money by tariff. They are
angry because Lloyd George proposes
internal taxation instead OF upsetting
the free trade policy which has obtain

outside the covers OF a Socialist nov
el. He wants TO relieve the evil effects
OF landlordism. the curse OF England
as well as ireland. Some 500 people.
il is said, own most OF the British
Isles
But 1t is pointed out by the opposi
ton that this tax hits the poor direct
ly. The landlords viii only raise the
rent, and the people must pay or
move.
The proposed English budget pro-
vides for an income and an inherit
ance tax. But incomes and inherit
ances are so tied up with land, factor
les, stores, industries. that IL will only
mean a lowering OF wages and a raise
in prices of products.
The income tax is rigid. The in
heritance tax cannot be evaded unless
the testator disposes OF his property
more than five years before death. But
IL makes no difference.
Lloyd George proposes tax on lux
uries, such as automobiles. The mo-
tor car manufacturers say this will
curtail production and lower wages
70 the thousands OF workmen.
The budget taxes whisky and tobac-
co and beer. These are direct taxes
on the poor consumer. as well as the
workers in the plants where they are
made. The Irish. heavy makers and
consumers of whisky, are up in arms
over that part of the bill.
You can't tax the rich without tax
ing the poor more" cried one oppo-
sition orator in parliament He
seems to be right.
So where do the poor get OF, either
! in England or America?

CHAPTER lxvlI.

At about o'clock In the afternoon,
Just, indeed, as Strong was making
his desperate dash on st. Petersburg,
the ex-king Of Bahama grew little
uneasy.
Brandt, he found, was all words and
ffeth- He was astonished that he had
ever regarded the man as having any
backbone.
Moreover, the monotony was terri
BILE and the waiting utterly useless. IL
was ridiculous and futile 10 sit In
Brandts study hour after houf while
the troops held the street without and
his motor-car waited at the door.
Every second that passed. indeed.
obviously brought Strong nearer to
Bomberg, and II he returned, the king
saw that he would simply be caught
as a rat is In trap.
His bombast and his blum left him.
He felt Inundated beyond measure
that his attempt TO recover his king
dom had failed. He disliked the Idea or
once more taking to flight, but flight
seemed the only course open TO him.
He had. however still sufficient
presence OF mind 20 realize that tho
flight should be easy. Just as he had
entered Bomberg, so would he leave II,
upon the assumption that those who
were set to guard him would not dare
TO lay hands on him.
At o'clock, therefore. he told
Brandt of his intention OF returning
TO the camp of the Russian army.
Brandt threw up his hands and ges,
ticulated wildly, and poured out a
food OF protest and beseechment. But
the king was deaf to all these appeals
His majesty. however. postponed his
intended departure until about q
O'Clock. as he had no desire to fly Tor
a second time while II was daylight
But when he summoned Ludwig and
went out Of Brandt's home into the
street and took his seat In the car,
the officer in command OF the troops
which formed Gordon across both
ends of the street, approached him.
saluted. and informed him, with con.
siderable respect. but none the less
with considerable frmness. that Gen.
Martel had given strict orders that
the king should not be allowed to
leave

ed away, and by the heaving OF his
shoulders Strong knew that the car
OF all the Russias was quietly sobbing.
The empress kissed the boy herself
and without another word gave him
back TO Strong.
He, overcome by the dignity Of her
grief. would gladly have fallen on his
knees and kissed her hand.
But. he reflected quickly that even
this tribute TO her sorrow would be
unwclcome, and therefore he made a
little bow over the baby's body, and
, without a word turned and held the
boy up TO the outstretched arms OF
Miss Hunt.
The empress drew a step nearer,
and, stretching up her hnnd, touched
Miss Hunts fingers lightly.
You will be good 10 him-you will
be good TO my baby?" said the EN-
press wistfully.
Yes" said Miss Hunt gravely, IL

And then the "Di" went up, and
Strong looked fixedly ahead. unable to
bear any longer the sight OF the two
pathetic figures standing mournfully
and dejectedly together in the dusk.

Telephone Lines Combine.

ta meeting of the stockholders
of the Mutual Telephone Company
held in Toledo Tuesday evening the
directors were instructed to accept
the proposition of the Lincoln
County Telephone Company, to sell
their lines to the Mutual Company
The lines will probably soon be ia .
ken over by the Mutual people and
connected with their lines. This
will make the Mutual Company
stronger, who will have practically
all the telephone lines in the county.
The public will be better served, as
it will not be necessary to have two
phones in order to reach all parts of
the county and the outside world.
