mad smiled hitherto over the fullness of her basket, she frowned beWilder- ingly. Slowly she counted them over again.
 No! there was no mistake about it, fifteen large brown eggs repcsed in the basket. Fifteen eggs, and only fourteen hens!
 With lips compressed in dis pleased line, she scrutinized the build- ing. The front park was close and strong; no wandering hen could pos sibly enter. The narrow gate in the back park Tapped loosely on it's leath- CT hinges And imprinted in the half dry mud, foot marks showed from the neiohboring park to the little door at the back of her henhouse! No hen had left that extra egg in her nests!
 'John," she called, returning to the front of the building, will you como over here a moment?"
 Danforth leaped the fence lightly. Lefty wanted him!
 Here" she said, demurely, holding out the basket, "are your eggs. I am sorry have sold the others, but I will return the amount as soon as I can
 Her lips quivered a little with the disappointment and humiliation of 1t all.
 'There are fifteen eggs" she could not help smiling at his embarrassed face, "and I have only fourteen hens!"
 CT et}y" he cried with sudden va- hemence s1'll take them back. After dark, I'm coming for the hens, also; 1 can make them lay!
 And tomorrow I am coming for you, dear. Let us have a happy Eas- ter, sWeetheart!'
 And there among the feathered flock, he took her in his arms.
 'Fll need you, dear," he whispered, s.to count the eggs!"

 +"I will try this new mixture, thank you, Jason," returned Miss Lefty erisply. "You will be sure to send il this afternoon?"
 Yes, yes!" said Jason cordially, not reminding her that it was not GUS. tomary for him to deliver a quarters worth of feed. And he turned back 1rto the inner office, where young man was moodily turning over the catalogues on the dusty desk.
 It seems a pity to see Square Browns daughter buying chicken feed by the pound, John," he remarked, se- riously. And I'm afraid them hens mean more to her than we realize. But she's too proud to let anybody know if she half starved!"
 y"Yes," returned John Danforth, "she is too proud"
 SLetty Brown walked down the street wearily. The purse in her handsome alligator bag was menacingly empty. "Just 72 cents after paying for the chicken feed," she figured; land two weeks before I can draw the $10 in- terest money. I don't dare draw on the principal-I don't dare! It is so little, and I may need it so much worse some other time. If only the hens would lay!"
 Tears of weakness and vexation filled her eyes.
 At the corner she deviated through dreary side street; not yet could she bring herself to go past the dear old house where she was born, and which she had been forced to leave that sad November time when her fathers death revealed the condition of his finances.
 T ought to be thankful" she re- minded herself virtuously, that I have the cottage, and the hens, and grandmother's legacy.

 The little brown egg certainly put new life into the heart-sick girl in the old cottage. Early next morn- ing she was out in tho chicken yard, working busily.

AS a result of having imbibed too

MRAvLAG OPPOSES
ELIZABETH SCHOOL
Believes Proposed S425,OOO
Building Will Have Too
Many "Frills.'

ELIZABETH, Jan. 22.-When this
city's new appointive Board of Educa-
ton of nine members, which will be
sworn in on Tuesday night by Mayor
Stein, organizes and takes Office on
February ], it will be confronted with
a task that threatens to assume en-
~barrassing proportions, in carrying out
the plans for the erection of a new
High School here.
A special committee recommends that
steps be taken to procure an appropria-
ton of $425 900 for the proposed new
building. The plans and specifications
adopted by the committee call for the
erection of a modern ffreproof building
for the accommodation of 1900 pupils
and containing an assembly-roof
gymnasium and swimming pool.
Among those who are opposed to the
present plans are former Mayor Victor
Mravlag, who declares there are too
many "frills'' on them; Charles A.
Trimble, a lawyer, and William II.
Hoover, an architect, who entered the
design competition for the new build
Ing, h-t was unsuccessful, the design
submitted by c. Godfrey Poggi being
accepted.
Arguments are advanced against
placing an assembly room, a gymna-
SUM n a swimming pool In the pro-
posed new building, it being declared
that much can be saved by eliminating
one or all of these.
The specifications for the proposed
new school call for a structure of brick
II stone and 1t is declared that the
architect is insisting on the very best
material and the highest class construc-
ton Work. The cost of the construc-
ton and the heating and ventilatins
plans according to the present speci-
icatfons will reach nearly s340. 900 and
the furnishings and other necessities
will bring the total cost to $425, 900, II
is estimated. Whether to change the
specifications or try to get the funds
to erect the building as now planned
must be decided by the new board. The
appropriation must come through the
Board of School Estimate, which IL
composed of two members of the City
Council, two of the Board of Education
and the Mayor.

LAWYERS IN TILT
At TAX HEARING
AT Odds Over Taxation of Pru-
Dental Deferred Dividend
Policies.

A tilt ensued today between Edward
D. Dunleld. counsel for the PRUDENTIAL
and Francis Child, representing the
city. before the State Board of Equali-
cation of Taxes, which met in the City
Hall to hear testimony on the appeal
by the Prudential from the decision OF
the local county tax boards. Judge
| Child said be did not give a snap of
his fingers for what Mr.. Duf1eld
thought OF his argument, and told him
to keep still" Dufield refused and
said SO.
Tho hearing was on the taxation or
the deferred dividend policies of the
company, which amounts to s2S,441,-
441.15. which, the company claims, is a
liability and which the city declares is
an asset.
The Supreme Court had decided on
this form of policy last year I'M ruled
in favor of the city; but Commissioners
Of Banking and Insurance Vivian M.
Lewis, in making up his certificate for
1911, included this item in the habili-
ties of the company, of which the total
was $197, s83, 414.15. BY a recent ruling
the Supreme Court decided that Mr..
Lewis did not err in calling this sum a
liability of the company. The com
pany holds, therefore, that it is exempt
from taxation.
Mr.. Lewis declared that he had come
to the conclusion that this was a LA
bility after reading the decisions of
the Supreme Court, and after s
tation with the attorney-generafs Of
flee in Trenton. Mr.. Lewis also said
that the item of S23, 000, 900 was not in
cluded in any other valuation.
The other items under consideration
amount to about a million a half
dollars. They are divided as follows:
About s4S5, 900 on liabilities on cancelled
policies whose owners may apply for
paid up policies, $685., 900 on premiums
paid in advance, and about $SS0,0O0 on
interest paid in advance.
The company held that these were
liabilities and could be called nothing
else. Herbert Boggs, for the city, de-
clared hat they were assets. The only
one of the three items taken up in the
morning session referred to the liabil-
ity on Cancelled policies subject to p
plication for paid-up policies.
Mr.. Bogss tried to show that many
of the applicants whose policies are
lapsed do not make application for
cash s~urrenders of paid-up policies in
the three or six months allowed them.
He said, therefore, that these lapsed
policies are an asset.
Major Carl Lentz and Mr.. Duffleld
were counsel for the Prudential and
Mr.. Boggs and Judge Child for the city.
Commissioner John L. Carroll, presi-
lent of the local tax board, was on
the stand, as was also Vice-President
Gore, of the Prudential, and Third
Vice-President Wilbur s.. Johnson.

Double-Hedrted
Man Discovered
at Rochester

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Jan. 22.-John
Dent, who is in the General Hospital,
awaiting an operation, was today dis
covered by the physicians to have two
fully-developed hearts, one OH each
