CHAPTER xxl.-contInued.

He tramped along the brightly lllu-
mined street, and out upon the dark
road leading up the bluff to the fort,
his mind occupied with the events Of
the evening, and those other Incidents
leading up to them. There was no
doubt that Miss Mcdonald and her ia
ther had returned to their home. But
what could he do to assist her? The
very knowledge that she had volun-
karily appealed to him, that she had
come to him secretly with her trouble,
brought strange happiness. Moreover
his former acquaintance with Mrs. Du-
lpont gave him a clue to the mystery.
Yet how was he going to unravel the
threads, discover the motive, find out
the various consplrators? What were
they really after? Money probably, but
possibly revenge. What did the wom-
Ian know which enabled her to yield
such influence over Mcdonald? What
was the trap they proposed springing?
The Sergeant felt that he could solve
these problems II given an opportuni-
lty. but he was handicapped by his po-
sition; he could not leave his troop,
could not meet or mingle with the sus-
lpected parties; was tied, hand and
foot, by army discipline. He could not
even absent himself from the post
without gaining special permission. He
lswore to himself over the hopeless

PROPER CoLoRS FOR WALLS
Always Few Rules That Are Well
to Keep In Mind When Dec
Grating.

II we redecorate in a thorough way
our first puzzle is the choice Of col
or. A few rules are useful. Blue
green, brown, and gray are excellent
colors for sunny, well-lighted rooms
If the room Is on the north side of the
house or Is ill-lighted we may need
to use yellow or yellow tan on the
walls in order to produce the sunny
appearance the room otherwise lacks.
Tan Is good all-around color and is
usable in well-lighted or poorly light
ed rooms.
All these colors are best If soft.
For example, sage green wall is
much more pleasing than a bright
green or leaf green wall; a copen-
hagen blue is better than q vivid
blue; the most agreeable gray for
walls is brownish gray in tone. Tan
in great variety of shades is always
a favorite.
Bright red should never be chosen.
It Is crude in color and tiresome to
live with. A soft mulberry red is
sometimes a desirable color, and a
brownish or Indian red is also in good
taste.
AS wallpaper always looks dark
er when hung on the wall than it does
In the sample, we must take care to
select medium or light shades, if we
want cheerful rooms.

SAVES TIME AND TROUBLE
Case for Delicate centerpiece Not
Hard to Make, and Is Especial
ly Valuable.

1t is sometimes difficult matter
to keep centerpieces from becoming
crushed after laundering, so many
women make a case in which to roll
them. Purchase piece of cretonne
one and quarter yards long and at
one end turn up hem wide enough
to cover pole an inch in diameter
and in length a trifle shorter than the
width of the cretonne. When choos-
ing the material select dainty de-
sign showing alternate stripes of flow
ers and a delicate color.
Bind the three sides with half-ihch
washable ribbon, stitching it neatly
either by hand or on the machine.
Attach three pieces of ribbon to the
end. These are used to tie the case
when the centerpieces are rolled in
place.
This is an especially useful artille,
and should be added to the linen
chest, and there will never be any
need of pressing centerpiece before
it is fit to place on the dining table.
1t requires only short time to make
an attractive case of this variety, and
you will never cease to sing its
praises when it has saved you much
inconvenience.
Now that you have supplied a clse
for the centerpieces, provide like ar
ticles for the doilies of your luncheon
set. From cardboard cut two circular
pieces an inch wider than the plate
doilies and two others an inch wider
than the diameter of the tumbler
doilies. Cover these with cotton wad-
ding and sprinkle with lavender.
+ Using Cretonne to match the CEN
terpiece case, cut circular pieces
enough to cover the top and bottom
of the disks. Allow a half inch for
turning in all around, and neatly whip,
stitch the two together or baste rough.
ly and bind with the half-inch ribbon,
AT three places attach pieces of rib
bon with which to tie the cases shut
when the doilies are placed between
the two sections. A set of cases for
a luncheon set would make a most
acceptable gift to a prospective bride
or to the systematic housewife who
likes place for everything.

Japanese crepe for chiIdren.

Among the newest dresses for chill
dren are those made of Japanese
crepe. The use of Japanese crepe is
directly in accord with the current
fashion for materials of a creepy char
acter. Moreover, the Japanese variety
is decidedly superior. both in durabil-
ity OF effect and in quality, to any
other crepe, because it is woven by
hand and the crepe feature is pro-
duced in the weaving. while in some
other instances it is brought about
by process of shrinl1age.

A Draa Day Experiment.

The town Of Stuart, Iowa, had drag
day Wednesday, April Goth, when the
merchants of the town gave various
prizes of merchandise aggregating
$500 for each an devery farmer who
drove to the town on drag and sew
eral special prizes for those who came
farthest Quite large number of
farmers took advantage of the offer
and as a result the roads for many
miles out of Stuart were put in fine
condition. Mt. Ayr, which has long
been noted for its activities in road
dragging. had similar event May 1st.
at which more than hundred and
twenty-five farmers registered who
had driven to town on drags, the dis
lance averaging six miles, so that
seven hundred and fifty miles of road
were dragged on this occasion. We
believe that Sterling, ILL.,, was the
originator of this unique idea, but it
is to the credit of any community to
follow in their footsteps.-RoadM Max.

 After the marriage Mrs. Will ford served an elegant luncheon to the bridal party, all of whom were very intimate friends.

COMPLAINT FILED
 BY EQUALIZER
Of Taxes From One County Who Can't Secure Cooperation
 of Other Members.
Special to Independent.

Little Rock, Septebmer a. The State Tax Commission is in receipt of a letter from a mem Der of a County Board of Equal ization, stating that every time he votes for raise, the others over-rule him. He calls atten- tion to the fact that a brother of one of the members has farm for which he has been offered $13,000, and it is listed on the tax books at $2,430. The owner was summoned before the board and asked to raise his assess lnent to 40 or 50 per cent of it's real value. He refused to con- sent to a raise of more than $7O,
 making the assessment S2,5OO. The minority member of the board writes:
 q refused to accept this small raise on the ground that ne was much lower than the surround ing country, which is far less productive. This farm is reas- onably worth $14,000 and should be on the tax books for $6,000 or $6,500, and until this pro- ductive land is raised l shall op-. Ipose any further raises on the second and third grade lands of the county"
 He calls attention to other in- equalities, and said that one man had "threatened all kinds of political annihilation to the
 board that attempted to raise his land above the present fig
 ure. If I had a board that would help me-, he continued, we would make them do something that they have never before done, and that is, pay their just proportion of the tax of the county and state. These people do not list one dollar in money, but if some poor ridge or hill side farmer has a young colt or calf for sale, they are ready with the money to take it at the low est figure for which the party will let it go. This is deplora- ble situation that needs a reme- dy:"
