DUNHAM SIDEWALK
DECISION FINAL
No Sidewalk Motion Failed
for Want Of a
Second

AT the meeting of the Board OF
CITY Commissioner Friday after
noon the long discussed sidewalk
question was finally settled. Again
Johnson made a motion to put in a
sidewalk on Northwestern Avenue
from Main to Walnut street and
again it failed for want of second.
The commissioners went over
the ground Friday afternoon but
Lapham and Sans failed to see the
necessity for the walk, that is, the
necessity of putting it in this fall.
They secured the promise OF Judge
Dunham, who owns a great many
of the lots along the street wht
the walk was to have been laid,
that he would put walk In as soon
as he sold lot. or by next wear
ANYWAY. The walk would have
cost him between two hundred and
6fty and three hundred dollars
according to figures given to the
Mayor.
Several families in that part OF
town want the side walk put in at
once, as they have to 60 three
blocks east, to Lafayette when they
want to go out in hat part of town
west of Western Avenue.
They have sidewalk by which
they have a direct route to the
business section of Main. All OF
the Commissioner felt that the
walk was needed, but all but John
son, thought It could walt for a
year.

Johnson and Sans Pass Mea-
sure Over Lapham's
Veto.

The automobile ordinance which
came up Saturday for third reading
and final passage, was passed by
Johnson and Sans voting to have 1t
passed as drawn up. Lapham
voted ono"
This ordinance was drawn up to
repeal the three dollar a year tax
on automobiles and make the regis
tration fee one dollar as 1t was al
first. This one dollar registration
is not an annual payment bu'
lasts so long as the car is not trans
ferred to someone else by the
original owner. In that case. the
new owner must get new number
for his car and new license.
Lapham stated his position on
the subject and his reasons for
voting "No." He said "There is
an old law maxim which says that
every man should contribute to the
government in proportion to his
respective ability. And that since
every man, whether laborer or
otherwise, between the ages of
twenty one and fifty contributes
three dollars a year in road tax,
It is no more than square propo-
sition that the autoists, who get
much more use of the roads, should
pay an extra three dollars. Motor
vehicles come under a different
class from other vehicles and are
subject to different regulations.
The three dollar tax is legal, just as
the FIVE dollar tax is legal in five or
six Kansas towns of about the same
size as Chanufe.

This time two or three cards were
sent in. One by one he saw the visa'
tors refused. and Dan. without any
formality. himself knocked at Lefty
Lanes small door. which Higgins
opened. looked back over her shoulder
to give his name to her mistress. and
said to Dan confidently. "Wait. sir;
Just wait a bit" Her lips were al
fable. And In a few moments. to
Dams astonished delight. the actress
herself appeared. big scarf over her
head and her body enveloped In her
snowy cloak. and he understood with
. leap OF his heart that she had sim
gled him out to take her home.
She went before him through tho
wings to the stage entrance. which he
opened for her. and she passed out
before him into the fog and the mist.
For the first time Blair followed her
through the crowd. which was big
one on this night. On the one side
waited the poor. who wished her many
blessing. and on the other side her
admirers, whose thoughts were quite
different Something of this flashed
through Dams mind-and in that mo-
ment he touched the serious part OF
life for the first time.
In Lefty Lanes motor. the small
electric light lit over their heads and
the flower vase empty. he sat beside
the fragrant human creature who
London adored. and knew his place
would have been envied by many a
man.

CHAPTER xiii.-continued.

Hello, you," she nodded to Dan.
II am awfully sorry not to have
shown up at five. Just got your note.
Just got in at the hotel: been out OF
town all day"
Dan saw that none Of the people in
the room was familiar to him. and
that they were out Of place in the
pretty brocaded nest. One Of them
was a Jew. a small man with q glass
eye. whose fixed stare rested on Miss
Lane. He had kepe on his overcoat.
and his derby hat hung on the back
Of his head.
Give Mr.. Cohen tho box. Higgins"
Miss Lane directed. and bending for
ward. brought her small face close to
the glass. and her hands trembled as
she handled the rouge stick.
Mr. Cohen in one hand held a string
Of pearls that fell through his fat nm.

Higgins obediently placed a small box
in his hand.
Take 1t and get out Of here" she
ordered Cohen. Miss Lane has only

Nov see here" Blair began. but
Miss Lane who had finished her task.
motioned him to be quiet.

please go out. Mr.. Cohen Is here on
business and I really can't see any
body Just now"
Behind the Jew Higgins looked up
at Dan and he understood-but he
didn't heed her warning: nothing
would have induced him to leave Let
ty Lane like this.
I'm not going. though. Miss Lane"
he said frankly. i've got an appoint
ment with you and I'm going to stay"
As he did 80 the other people In the
room took form for him: a blind beg.
gar with a stick in his hand. and by
his side a small child wrapped in
shawl. With relief Dan saw that
pcniotowsky was absent from the
party.
Cohen opened the box. took its con-
tents out and held up the jewels.
This" he said. indicating a string OF
pearls, is all right, Miss Lane and the
ear-drops. The rest is no good. III
take or leave them, as you like.
she was plainly annoyed and ex-
cited, and, as Higgins tried to lace
her, moved from her dressing-table
to the sofa in state Of agitation.
Take them or leave them. as you
like" she said. but give me the
money and 60"
The Jew took from his wallet roll
Of bank notes and counted them.
"Six," he began, but she waved him
back.
Don't tell me how much It is.
don't want to know"
Let the other lady count It," the
Jsw said. Il don't do business that
way"
Dan. who had laid down his over
coat and hat on chair. came Quickly
forward, his banda In his pockets. and
standing In front of the Jew. he said
again:
Now yea look here"
I,ettv h:ane threw the money Gown
on the dressing-table. Please, she
cried to Dan, let me have tho pleas
ure of sending this man out OF my
room. You can, go, Cohen, and go in

The Jew stuffed the pearls In hls
nocket and went by Dan hurriedly, as
though he feared the young man In
tended to help him. But Dan stopped
him:
