A m in a green dress, with

gesture of inviting welcome as a mans
figure doomed in the archwav, and his
eyes, blue and keen, glanced around i'm

him: so you nave come back, MI.

And though he knew the words We're

with a tightening Of his face and asked
her If he might take the seat next to
hers. The eagerness of the request, and
the Slight reluctance yelled by civility
with which she granted it, were not
lost on Hearn, and Miss Marley, watch
ing his face, said: You know Who that
is, dom you?"
He gave a brief negative.
"Sir Archibald H~amlyn-lazy, rich

which is his insincerity. He wants

Sir Archibald, and gave a quick glance

asking him to conle to her.

A New Way to Swear OF Taxes.

From the Success Magazine.
The best way Of not paying taxes
on our personal property is to swear
them off. BY swearing off" is meant
going to the tax assessor and making
a deposition that you really don't live
really don't own what you seem to
own, and that, while you appear to be
q very rich man, you are really over
burdened by debts which you have
hitherto successfully concealed. Since
personal taxes began, so many ways
of swearing off have been invented
that the lax authorities had come to
believe that there was no new tax
dodge under the sun.
But the tax authorities were mis-
taken. A few days ago a man came
to the New York tax commissioners
and asked to be relieved of his per-
sonal taxes. II have only $4,000" he
said, land that money is in city bonds
and Is being held in trust
For whom?" asked h tax commits
sioner.
The question was unexpected and
at first there was no answer. out the
tax commissioner insisted. Finally.
in a stage whisper, the swearer-off ex-
planned.
The money is held in trust during
bis lifetime-for my dog"
