New WAY to Swear Off Taxes

The best way of not paying taxes on
your personal property is to swear
them off. says Success. BY swearing
off, is meant going to the tax assessor
and making deposition that you
really don't live where you seem &c
live, that you really don't own what
you seem to own. and that, while you
appear to be a very rich man, you are
really overburdened by debts which
you have hitherto successfully con-
cealed Since personal taxes began
so many ways of swearing off have
been invented that the tax authori-
ties had come to believe that there
was no new tax dodge under the sun
But the tax authorities were mistak-
en-. A few days ago man came tc
the New York tax commissioners and
asked to be relieved of his personal
taxes. "I have only $1,000" he said
land that money is in city bonds and
is being held in trust
For whom" asked the tax COM
missioner.
The question was unexpected and at
first there was no answer, but the tan
commissioner insisted. Finally. In a
stage whisper. the swearer-off explain

THE END.
SUCCESS TURNS MANY HEADS
Average Man Assumes an Importance
to Which He Actually is Not
Entitled.

1t is rather a remarkable illustra-
ton of the weakness of our nature that
there should be so many persons
whose heads are completely turned by
attaining even the slightest degree or
success. Instead of realizing that the
achievement which won him fame Is a
thing of the past, and therefore buried
in oblivion. except to those nearest to
him. the average man imbibes a good
ly portion Of self-satisfaction and
drinks to his own conceit. His one sue
cess looms very large upon his narrow
horizon, and the temporary adulation
of tickle public magnifies its proper
tons and appears to give him an I'M
portance not really his due. This SELF
Importance is apt to be reflected in all
his further efforts, II indeed 1t does
not forbid effort of any Sort and once
man becomes obsessed with an exag-
gerated idea of his attainments there
is small chance of his ever duplicating
those attachments. It Is just here,
however, that so many persons make
the mistake of their lives by believing
LhdL having once eSlduliShSa ASNSA"
for themselves there is no need to
live up to it. II they could only forget
their successes, or hide them away in
the dim places of their own minds to
he peeped at only for inspiration, their
self-aggrandizement would give way to
a correct valuation of their ability,
which would go far toward helping
them to new accomplishments. A
mans most serious thoughts should be
of what is to come. of what he is to do
in the future, not of what is passed or
of what he has already accomplished.

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune. a popular and in
dolent young bachelor of London. re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
10 the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with
an income of $4,000 a year, on condition
that he become engaged to be married
within ten days Failing to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckon.
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
of Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him wife within the prescribed time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all close gtrlhood
chuIns. She decides to invite two of them
to the castle and have Archie there as
ono of the guests, Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First is breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him, but will require
months time fully to make up her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re-
ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First, on the plea OF
sickness, excuses herself from motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
see Agatha First picking flowers with
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's seeming duplicity. The follow
ing day the party visits the ruins of an
old convent. Terhune continues his at
tentions to Agatha Sixth. Then suddenly
he transfers his attentions to Agatha
ent fickleness. The last evening of the
time allotted in which to become engaged
arrives The following day Solicitor Burns
will arrive from London, and the VIM
cents are anxious to consummate the en-
gagement Vincent discovers Agatha
First and a man with his arm around
her waist. Vincent decides that the man
must be Terhune. The next morning Ter
hume and Agatha First are very friendly
at the breakfast table, while Agatha
sixth seems somewhat displeased. Solicit
tor Burns arrives The Vincents are
anxious In an interview of Vincent and
his wife the latter cries in desperation
over the puzzling condition of affairs.
Solicitor Barnes arrives. The Vincent's
are anxious. VIII Terhune report an af-
famed or a free man? Terhune tells
Lord Vincent that he proposed to Agatha
Sixth and that she had refused to marry
him Terhune declares that If he cannot
have the woman of his choice that he
will sacrifice his aunt's fortune An auto
mobile arrives. Murray Brancepeth, a
young man who resembles Terhune, steps
out OF the machine. He has been in love
with Agatha First, and was the man In
the checkered suit. 1t now lacks three
minutes Of the time that Terhune has for
announcing his engagement. Vincent
rushes Terhune to urge Agatha Sixth to
accept him. Solicitor Barnes is notified
and the ceremony is performed.

like that! Keen about his cheek, aren't
you, Vincent?"
He's aWfully young, Brancepeth. but

can see that he's grown steadier and
more of man than when knew him
year ago. And I'm glad of that.
Agatha First is fine girl and deserves

romantic tale of our guests. What

And so it was Our friends from the
next county had arrived In our midst,
unheralded even by the noise of their
motor car, which now made itself plain
