can do 1t myself; or Mr.. Van Camp
bis cousin, could do it. Why should
you want her, of all people, when she
feels so toward us?"
The moment his professional judg.
ment came into question Doctor Thay.
er slipped out from the cloud of EN-.
barrassment which had engulfed him
in his recent conversation, and as
sumed the authoritative voice that
Agatha had first heard.
My dear Miss Agatha Redmond,
that Is foolish talk. You are half
sick, even now; and it requires a
strong person, with no nerves, to do
what desire done Mr.. Van Camp
may be his cousin. but the chances are
that he wouldn't know a bromide from
a blister; and good nurses don't grow
on bushes in Ilion, nor in Charles
port, either. There isn't one to be
had, so far as know, and we can't
wait to send to Augusta or Portland

Agatha listened intently. and a
growing resolution shone in her eyes.
Would Mrs Stoddard come, IL it
were not for what you said-about
me?" she asked.
The Lord only knows, but l think
she would. replied the poor, har-
assed doctor. She's always been a
regular Dorcas in this neighborhood !"
"Dorcasi" cried Agatha, her anger
again fiaring up. Il should say Sap
phira"
"Oh, now, Susan isn't so bad, when
you once know her." urged the doc
tor.
Agatha got up and went to the win
dow, trailing her travelling rug after
her. She shall come-Tll bring her.
And sometime she shall mend her
words about me-but that can walk.
II she will only help to save James
Hambleton's life nowi Where does
she liver" Suddenly, as she stood at
the window, she saw an opportunity.
There's Little Simon down there now
under the trees; and his buggy must
be somewhere near. Will you stay
here, Doctor Thayer, with Mr.. Ham
bleton, while go to see. your sister,"
Hadn't better drive you over to
see Susan myself?" feebly suggested
the doctor.
mo, I'll go alone" There was
anger, determination, gunpowder in
Agathas voice.
But mind you, don't offer her any
money" the doctor warned, as he
watched her 90 down the hall and dis
appear for an instant in the bedroom
where James Hamblet0n lay. She
came out almost Immediately and
without word descended the wide
stairway, opened the dining-room
door, and called softly to SaIlie Kings
bury.
Doctor Thayer returned to the sick
room Ten minutes later he heard the
wheels of Little Simon's buggy rolling
rapidly up the road in the direction
of Susan Stoddards place

Aleck looked at her before entering

inquired, stopping by the side of

LOOKS LIKE DENVER WINS


Denver, Nov. 10-Judge Allen OF
the district court today rendered a
decided defeat to the state tax
commission. He held that the state
tax commission has no authority to
arbitrarily increase tho assessment
as made on local property by the
county assessor. He also held that
the only duty of the commission is
to equalize and that after 1t has
equalized its work must still DE
passed by the state board of equal
cation. He ISSUED a permanent in
junction restraining the city OF
Denver from extending the assess.
ment roll as increased by the tax
commission and he issued an IN
junction against the state tax com
mission and the state board of CO.
ualization restraining them from at
tempting to compel the authorities
of the city of Denver to extend the
assessment as made by the state
tai. commission.
Judge Aliens findings and in
functions are SO sweeping that they
practically render tho state tax
commission a nonen1ty save In an
advisory capacity. He delivered a
stinging rebuke to the commission
for attempting to raise values In
counties where not a single member
of the commission had ever visited
and where they knew nothing OF
local values. He explained that no
tag law ever enacted had for Its
oAdect the giving of such power to
anybody.
Last Friday the supreme court or.
dered the assessor of Denver to APP

Ing found a plowman in the mid

ground as fast as he could. 1t ap-
pears that the owner of the land

an hours time clearing up an en-
tirely new field. marking 1t off and

The soccer games on Saturday re.
suited in a victory for the pioneer
school against the Lincoln school
and Granada sthooi against team
No. of the high school. The
Pioneer-Linco1n game was good
one, but the high school game was
too one sided to be interesting. The
Granada boys played rings around
club No. 5. goaling almost at will.
The last club game of the season
will occur next Saturday on the
Granada grounds. between club No.
l of Lamar and Granada. Lamar
high has had five teams with IL
men. and four substitutes playing
off a schedule OF games and team
No. l won the championship Of
these club games. 1t is believed the
club will be able to run up a big
score on Granada Saturday.
Coach Lewis began this week to
select the first team. SO many fell
lows are out for the team that the
coach has . hard time working
them all on one field. The team
viii be composed of the best play
ers of the clubs and the boys are
showing up In good form. Suits
have been ordered and in about
week 1t Is is expected that the
regular team will be fully organiz-
ed. and will be putting up a game
of soccer that will be worth see
ing. Pueblo is working hard and Is
confident winning. Lamar is
taking no chances. Coach Lewis
has over fifty men signed up to
live up to strict training rules. This
includes no tobacco. no late hours.
no rich food and faithful. consistent
practice. Out of this bunch of fel
lows he will be able to pick a team
that will be able TOT give Pueblo
all she wants to do. -....-
