TAXPAYERS TAKE NOTICE.

To the Taxpayers Of Grady County:
The board Of county commissioners
Of Grady county viii meet at the court
house in Chickasha on Monday, July 3,

tion the advisability Of calling spe-

be voted upon the proposition Of Isl
suing an additional $4,000 OF twenty
five year 8 per cent bonds, for bridge
building purposes.
AT present various PARIS Of the
county are badly in need Ef bridges
and there are no funds available in
the county treasury capable Of being
devoted to that purpose. 1t is wholly
impracticablc to obtain money with
which to build bridges, by the levy Of a
tax directly for that purpose; but the
law provides a way whereby the coun-
tvs bonds may be issued and sold,
and fund in that way created, out
Of which bridges may be built At

Blaclxstock stood with his back to
the stove In the farmhouse kitchen;
hands In pockets, his heavy shoulders
lifted, he swayed all but imperceptibly
on the balls Of his feet. In the dun
saffron illumination Of two common
kerosene lamps, he doomed hugely IN

A curious smile dawned on the face

figures were produced indicating the
big fortune squandered every year by
the public In this way. The hotels and
restaurants lease out the privilege to
the highest bidder. The income OF
the Waldorf-Astor from this source
alone is $4,000 a year and the Astor,
Plaza and Knickerbocker about Sl5,-

the exposure Of the income from this

sioniess tones. Sti1 BlacKstock did
not come down. Coast lighted his
pipe. His thoughts reverting TO
Katherine, in natural course swung
back to the slip Of paper reposing at
the bottom of his pocket.
He looked cautiously round; the serv-
ants were intent upon their work
stolid1y incurious as to himself, to all
appearances; from the upper floor
came reiterations Of the high-pitched
and querulous accents of the wounded
mana sound to which he had be-
come accustomed since Blackstock
had left him. He felt, consequently,
fairly safe.
Producing the scrap of paper. he
stealthily smoothed 1t out across his
knee. It bore a single sentence hur-
riedly and lightly in pencil:
Neither your life nor mine Is safe
Il you persist"
Very thoughtfully he twisted the pa
per into q little spill, lighted 1t over
the chimney of one of the lamps, APP
piled the fame to the tobacco In his
pipe, then held it while it burned.
Precisely what was one to under
stand from that message7 That Kath
crime had awakened to the truth re-
garding the killing Of Van Tuyl-or
merely that she mistrusted Black
stocks temper, should he by any
chance be led to suspect Coasts true
identity? That she knew the truth
about Power? Or that through some
subtle process Of feminine intuition
she had OWNED that Blackstock was
not wholly hoodwinked by the at
tempted impersonifcatlon of Handy
side. and would, were his doubts con-
firmed, seek to punish her as well as
the impostor for keeping silence?
She had not had time to write more.
The spin burned down until its tiny
flame fiickered blue and expired with

dropped the unconsuned fragment

did so he became conscious Of q

his field Of vision, and he looked up
suddenly, startled to discover Black
stock almost at his elbow. With such
catiike nghtness and silence the fell
low moved!

stock dropped q hand compellingly

pause, my fingers remember anything

Before Coast could object Black
stock had brought both hands into
play upon his face; lightly, softly and
gently the ten blunt, hard tips Of his
stubby fingers moved over Coasts
features, tapping, pressing, gliding
on.
1t was all but insufferable; Coast
was conscious that the blood burned
in his face like IRE, that his heart was
pounding-so loud, 1t seemed, that the
other must be aware of IT, Revolted,
he almost choked at this familiarity

Coasts face explored the face above

ran cold along his spine, and of sud

Mr.. Harry Nork, of No. 712 Ro-

rheumatism, for years. He would have
to get up at night from two to five
times. His lower limbs were very

would cause him so much pain that
he would have to lose much time from
mis- work. He called at Ballroom s
drug store and got a treatment Of
Quaker Herb Extract and Gil of Balm.

sTATisTlcAN ESTIMATES THAT
100000 PER YEAR is SPENT
IN NEW YORK ANNUALLY IN
THIS MANNER.
Special to The Journal

New York, Sept. 23.--New York
woke UP the other day to learn that it
pays out annually in hat tips to hotel
and restaurant keepers the imposing
sum of 100000 a yer. This is ex-
elusive of tips to walters, chamber
maids and other supernumaries who
perform one service or another for
patrons. A local statistician estimated
that it costs every daily frequenter Of
these establishments an average OF
$125 a year completion of his meal.
AS the gratuities are usually from 8
to 10 cents each time, few suspected
that il attained to this amount in
twelve months. This discovery Of the
enormous sum paid out annually by
natives and visitors for checking their
hats came about through an effort Of
