To Assess Whisky in Bond.

The board of valuation and assess
ment is about ready to take up the as
sessment of whisky in bond in Ken
lucky. According to the reports re-
ceiyed by C. F. Saunders, of the audi
tors office, there are now in Kentucky
3,02S,079 barrels. Last year the rate
of taxation was $40 barrel. Taxes
are paid on these as they are renewed
from the warehouse, reports being
made of the number removed and
taxes paid quarterly with interest for
the time the barrels have been in the
warehouse.

The following morning the daylight
creeping into section number one
found ira and Anne staring at each
other. Ira was tousied and Anne was

CHAPTER XXI.
The Empty Berth,

+
@ The one thing Mallory was begin
ming TO learn about Marjorie was that
she would. never take the point or
view he expected, and never proceed
along the lines OF his logic.
She had grown furious at him for
what he could not help. She had told
him that she would marry him out or
spite. She had commanded him to
pursue and apprehend the flying par
son. He failed and returned crest
fallen and wondering what new form
her rage would take.
And. 10 and behold, when she saw
him SO downcast and helpless, she
rushed to him with caresses. cuddled
his broad shoulders against her
breast, and smothered him 1t was
the sincerity OF his detection and the
complete helplessness he displayed
that won her woman's heart
Mallory gazed at her with almost
more wonderment than delight. This
was another fashlight on her charac-
ter. Most courtships are conducted
under rose-light in which wooer
and WoOed wear lnelr pest clothes on
their best behavior; or in starlit,
lmoonlit. or gaslit twilight where 70.
nance softens angles and wraps
everything In velvet shadow. Then
the two get married and begin to
live together in the cold. gray day
light OF realism, with undignitied
necessities and narrowing situations
at every step, and disiliusion begins
its deadly work
This young couple was undergoing
all the Inconvenience and temper-ex
posures OF marriage without its
blessed compensations. They prom
ised to be well acquainted before they
were wed. II they still wanted each
other after this ordeal. they wers pref
ty well assured that their marriage
would not be failure.
Mallory rejoiced to see that the
hurricane of Marjorie's jealousy hac
only whipped up the surface of hei
soul The great depths were still
calm and unmoyed. and her love fol
him was in and OF the depths.

The passengers this morning were
all little brisker than usual IL
was the last day aboard for everybody
and they showed a certain extra ami
nation. like the inmates OF an ocean
liner when land has been sighted.
Ashton was shaving when Ira swag-
gered into the meh's room. Without
pausing to note whom he was adj

Good morning. Did you rest well?'
"What?" Ira roared.
"Oh, excuse mel" said Ashton, has

And his wife choked on her tea ut
the wonderful train-change that had
come over the best man in Ypsilanti.
BY this time Fosdick had reached
the stateroom from which he had
been banished again at the Nevada
state-line. He knocked cautiously.
From within came an anxious voice:
Who's there?"
