him what he chose. He wondered why
he had not tried to resist. The truth
was Underwood exercised a strange,
subtle power over him. He had the
power to make him do everything he
wanted him to do, no matter how fool
ish or unreasonable the request. Every
one at college used to talk about it..
One night Underwood invited all his
classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up all kinds of capers. He at first
refused, point blank-but Underwood
got up and, standing directly in front
of him, gazed steadily into his eyes.
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud
denly seized with the feeling that he
must obey. Amid roars of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand
ing on one leg, he crowed like a
rooster, he hoped like toad, and
he crawled abjectly on his belly like
a snake. One of the fellows told him
afterward that he had been hyp-
Noticed. He had laughed at 1t then
as a good joke, but now he came to
think of it, perhaps it was true. Pos
sibly he was a subject. Anyway he
was glad to be rid of Underwood and
his uncanny influence.
The train stopped with jerk at his
station and Howard rode down in the
elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when suddenly he halted. The glitter
and tempting array of bottles in a
corner saloon window tempted him.
He suddenly felt that If there was one
thing he needed in the world above
all others it was another drink. True,
he had had more than enough already
But that was Coxe's fault. He had
invited him and made him drink
There couldn't be any harm in taking
another. He might as well be hanged
for a sheep as a lamb. By the time
he emerged from the saloon his
speech was thick and his step uncer-
tain. A few minutes later he was
painfully climbing up the rickety stairs
of a cheap-looking fiat house. AS he

Columbus, Ga, Sept. 8.-The tax
rate Of Muscogee county remains three
mills during the coming year, the COM
misisoners having fixed the rate the
same as it has been for the past few
years-which is the lowest of any
county in Georgia-notwithstanding
the fact that improvements of perm
anent nature, including numerous good
roadways have been, and are being
made. Owing to the splendid road
improvements during the past year, it
was expected by many of the tax pay
ers that the rate would be raised and
the announcement that it remains the
same was received with much gratiT-
cation here.

BOOKKEEPER GETS
MINE MAN ARRESTED
Queer Mexican Law Oper-
ates Against Investiga-
tiOns of EmplOves.

Walter NJ BrOdie consulting engin-
eer of the Batopilas Mining company,
Chihuahua, Mexico, IN letter written
from the mines, says that Gilmore
Goodland, a mining engineer with ex-
tensive experience in South Africa, Aus
tralia and other parts of the world, was
imprisoned in a Mexican Jail on the
charge of libel or what the Mexican
law calls ''injurias," brought by an
exbookkeeper of the Batopilas Mining
company, whom he had discharged.
The Batopilas Mining company, a
New York corporation, capitalized at
$4,000. 900, in order to attain working
capital for its mining operations, form
ed in London, England. in the year
1909, with the aid of Mr. Goodland's
connections, an English company called
the Batopilas Mining. Smelling and Re-
filming company, capitalized at $780,
0O0 At a meeting of the directors Of
the Batopilas Mining company. in Oct,
1910, II was resolved that Mr.. Good
land should proceed to the mines as
soon as possible. c. II. c. Mo1ler, chair
man of the board of directors. was re-
quested to accompany Mr.. Goodland on
behalf of the French interests, and
they were given full power to make
such arrangements as they considered
fit in connection with the working of
the property.
Goodland and Moller, it is claimed,
met with a great deal of opposition at
Batopilas, not only from the general
manager of the company. but from the
company's employees. This opposition
was made so strong and so personal
that their mission was made extremely
unpleasant and could hardly be carried
out The visiting directors insisted on
a number of dismissals and the ac-
counts kept with and credits given TO
the departing employees were the prin-
cipal reason which led Mr.. Goodland
to write a private letter of discharge,
which forms the basis of the suit.
From the point of view of the in
weston in Mexican Mines this case is
expected to prove interesting. Among
the questions introduced are: What
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-03-18

right does an employer have. under the
Mexican law, to criticize an employees
actions? Does the foreigner lose the
right OF release under bond simply
because he can bring no witnesses who
can swear that they know from &C.
tual personal acquaintanceship with
the accused for five years, that during
all this time his conduct has been good?
What consulting engineer can fill these
requirements in the out of the way
places he is likely to find HIMSELF 1t
is believed that the stockholders of the
Batopilas Mining company. as well as
the European investors. will make
prompt investigation.
The mines of Batopilas have given
native silver ores of extraordinary
richness for hundreds of years and
during the last half century have been
steady producers. The stockholders,
however, have not of late years re-
ceived much benefit from their invest
ment.

either side were two similar squares,
diminishing in size. The square fill
gree brooches with the pointed fringe
are also unique and charming.
The new fat locket called the plaque
comes in many beautiful designs, but
here again filigree work is favored,
sometimes set with various stones.
Comparatively new also are the lock-
cts in gun metal decorated with the
Spanish Toledo work. These have the
appearance Of being heavily inrusted
in gold, in most beautiful designs.
With the return Of the short sleeved
gowns bracelets are again to the fore,
in great variety of styles. In the
more expensive ones are shown the
inch-wide solidly woven chain brace
lets like our grandmothers used to
wear. There is also revival to some
extent Of the chain bracelets that were
so much in vogue a few years ago.
In the shirt waist ring, which has
sprung into such universal favor, the
abalone pearl seems to take precedent
over other stones because Of its limpid,
chameleon-like sheen, that takes on the
tinge Of the color near which it is
placed Coral is also very popular,
