Disappointment.
Dan Blair had not been back or the
scenes at the Gaiety since his first
call on the singer Indeed, though he
had told the duchess he pitied MISS
Lane, he had not been able TO ap-
proach her very closely. even In his
own thoughts. When she first ap-
peared on his horizon his mind was
full of the Duchess of Breakwater, and
the singer had only lowered round his
more profound feelings for another
woman. But Lefty Lane was an at
mosphere in Dams mind which he was
not vet able to understand. There was
so little left that was connected with
his old home, certainly nothing In the
British Isles. excepting Ruggles. and
to the young man everything from
America had it's value. Decidedly the
nice girl of whom he had spoke" to
Gordon Galorey, the print-frocked'
bonneted type, the ideal girl that Dan
would like to marry and to spoil, had
not crossed his path. The Duchess OF
Breakwater did not suggest her, nor
did any of the London beauties. Dams
first ideal was beginning to fade.
He left Osdene Park on protest and
returned the same night to London
and all the way back to town tried to
register in his mind, unused to analy
sis, his experience with the Duchess
of Breakwater on this last visit.
He had experienced his first dis
appointment in the sex, and this dis
appointment had been of an unusua
kind. 1t was not that he had beer
turned down or given the mitten, bu
he had seen one woman turn anothe'
down.. A woman had been mean. 81
he put 1t, and the fact that the Ouch
ess of Breakwater had refused Il

as soon as his enthusiasm had calmed

seized the handle of the door. Her
small ice-cold hand brought him to his
senses.

confusedly. do go In and get warm
IL you can"
But instead Of obeying, now that
the rude young man withdrew his i'm
portuning, Miss Lanes hands fell
from the knob, and close to his eyes
she swayed before him. and Dan
caught her in his arms-went into her
room, carrying her. He had been
wrong about Prince Poniotowsky

around here for?"
And Dan returned Don't stand

"Yes, Miss" her woman urged.
"d.n't stand here"
But the actress waited nevertheless
and said to Dan: who's the girlY
What girl?"
why. the girl you come here every
night to see and are too shy to speak
to. Everybody is crazy TO know.
Lefty Lane looked like little girl

small hands held across her breast.
Dan put his arm on her shoulder

gesture:

Her head was covered With the

door which Higgins opened.

she asked him. You are not yer,

But the cold voice of the duchess
did not chill him. Simply great he
continued. "and I'm sorry for her

the matter Didn't you notice her
when she came into the Carlton that

What of it, silly? I thought she

Well hate him." Blair simply

"Oh, | don't mean her professional

A revolt such as had stung him

But his companions laugh stopped
his championship short.

She doesn't need your pity or your

 The number of lumber and logging wagons that pass through Ashville to the Alabama Great Southern railroad will number not less than 160. hence 1t can be clearly seen that this is fast becoming one of the leading timber markets of the state.
 A great paying proposition to some cap italists would be to construct an electric line to the railroad. which is only dis tance of three miles. The amount of traf- fic hauled over this piece of road could hardly be estimated.

TAX COMMISSION WILL RETURN ID JEFFERSON TUESDAY Will Make Such Assessments as Board of Revenue
 Refused to Make SITUATION IN COUNTY VERY PECULIAR ONE Understood State Will Make Test of Constitutionality of Revenue Bill
 Prohibiting Commission Go
 ing Over Boards Head

Montgomery August 31.--(Special. .)-Pur- suant to the order of Governor ONeal the state tax commission will return to Birmingham on next Tuesday afternoon to remain in Jefferson county for an in- definite period. The chief purpose of the tax commissions return to Jefferson coun- ty Is to make such assessments as the board of revenue has refused to make.
 The return of the state tax commission to Jefferson county Tuesday, as an- nounced In Saturdays Age-Herald, has been a much mooted question ever since the beginning of the controversy between Governor 0'Neal and property owners of Jefferson county relative to the raises made by the state taxing authorities.
 At first the impression obtained that the tax commission would not be sent hack to Jefferson county, particularly since the raises of the commission met [ with such a storm of protest and op position. There were many who declared that the governor was "bluffing." that the opposition created by the commission was of so keen nature as to make the governor hesitate before stirring another storm in that county, and that, on the other hand, the commission had no right under the law to go over the heads of the board of revenue and make assess ments which the board had refused 10
