In peculiar, mournful manner.
The machine landed and he heard

1t. At last he was lifted out from the

into a building where the bandage

ening herself for coming events. She
was occupied consulting politicians,
generals, admirals, making flying trips
to the Notifications that were rapidly

Ing to the new requirements of the
times.
Constantly she expected news from
the man she had seen only once, the
man whom she looked upon as the de-
liverer Of the American continent, and
| also the man she loved.
Days, weeks. months went by. The
day OF Inauguration came. She had
expected confidently that she would
hear from him.
The whole American continent cele-
brated the day, but 1t was empty Of
Joy for her. the President.
She appeared In white, simple,
beautiful, unadorned except for the
ring which he had given and she al
ways wore. She looked like bride
on her way to the altar with the man
she had chosen.
The ceremonies occupied almost the
entire day. and the evening was spent
at the ball given by the continental
lists. Throughout the congratulations
that were received a shadow was hov-

Yet he had said: "You will hear
from me as soon as l can tell you
something definite. When you need

With these thoughts to console her
she bent her head to sleep.
The President was at her office

military commanders. then to send

seemingly 1t was pleasant, enjoy
able social affair, with everything so
smooth and polished that one might
easily make a dangerous slip and
break his own neck.
When Chevalier di Leon arrived in
his apartment he was we'll aware that
he had been followed, but he did not
care. He was thinking OF the . be-
wttching Countess Rosiny. Where had
he met her?
At last he found the place in his
well classified memories. "The Amer
lean Cafe Restaurant" he calculated.
Then without further delay he went to
bed.
The chancellor sat in his library
awaiting the report of his followers.
As soon as he received the infcrma-
ton that the chevalier had gone to
bed and was safely sleeping he did
likewise, but he did not sleep as
soundly as di Leon. He had troubled
dreams.
The reports that the chancellor re-
ceived from the men who were follow
ing the chevalier the next day were
not exciting. He had visited the mu-
seums, studied new industries and, In
face, was interested in everything.
Shortly before nightfall he went to
his hangar, brought out his plane and
cruised about above the city, finally
ascending to such height that he al
most vanished from the eyes Of the
detectives. BY ten o'clock he was
again at the hotel.
Saturday evening the chevalier at
tended the house ball at the palace
Of the Countess Rosiny. He even
played at the card tables, losing a few
gold pieces. The detectives obtained
a number Of twenty mark coins and
sent them to the chancellor with their
report; every one was Of nineteenth
century make.
The Countess Rosiny was summoned
to a long confidential talk. No one
knew what they discussed, but when
the countess was home and alone in
her dainty, perfumed boudoir, she
locked the door and flung herself on
her sofa, weeping bitterly.
IL shall betray him, the first real
man have ever seen; besides, how
can be certain that he will love me 2"
She clenched her little fist and shook
1t at the portrait Of man who hap
pened to be her husband. "You fiend,
see what you have made of mel"
Everything went smoothly; nobody
interfered with the chevalier's actions.
One evening, after returning from
one Of his daily aerial trips, as he
jumped out Of his machine, dark
robe was cast over his head and
number Of men grasped him. He
struggled, but strong hands held him
fast, and few minutes later he was
bound and nearly suffocated by a
heavy cloth that shut out the air.
Then the cloth was removed and a
tight fitting bandage placed over his
eyes.
"Will the. chevalier promise to keep
quiet?" asked strange voice. For,
in that case, will not be forced to
gag him."
II promise" was the helpless cheva-
iier's answer.
He was placed on stretcher-like
affair and carried away.
He could not see, but his sense of
hearing told him that they carried
him to q near by hangar; there he
was placed in some kind Of tonneau
and he heard the chug. chug Of a very
powerful motor. The buzz of the pro-
pellers followed.
The next moment he felt the lift,

made one turn, then shot out under

CLARENDON WILL
CASE MARCH 70
COURT OF APPEALS TAKES RECESS
UNTIL THAT DATE.
"a Cases Were Decided-All of the 0pin-
ions Handed Down Friday Con-
cerned Unimportant Liti-
cation.

Jackson.--After delivering "a opin-
ions in small cases the court of civil ap-
peals declared recess till March 20,
when many of the important cases the
court now has under advisement will be
decided. One of the important cases to
be decided is that of Mary L. Smaller
VS.. f. Bruce Garrett ct al, another
branch of the celebrated Cloth will case,
in which direct attack on the Claren-
don will of Mrs. Cloth is made. This
case will probably be decided by the
court on March 30. The judges of the
court left on afternoon and night trains
for their homes, where they will spend
the recess. They carried the records of
the cases under advisement with them
and win work on opinions during their
absence.
Hearing sessions were discontinued by
the court Wednesday, when the final
call of the PIT cases on the docket was
completed. During the remainder Of the
term the judges will devote all their
time to the preparation of opinions.
The judges are anxious to wind up the
business of the term before the supreme
court meets in Jackson on the first Mou-
day in April. They hope to have opin-
ions prepared in all cases now undecided
by the last of March.
The opinions handed down by the
court today concerned small litigation
almost entirely. No legal questions of
Importance were presented, and the mat
tiers at issue were of no general interest

CEMETERY STOCK is TAXABLE.
Chancellor Decided Injunction Against
Forest Hill Co.

Memphis. Chancellor Francis Fem
tress, part two, chancery court, holds
that stock in cemetery companies is tax
able, but that the tangible assets of
such companies, meaning the graves.
walks, avenues and ornarnentations, are
not.
His decision was rendered in the case
of the Forest Hill Cemetery Company
against j. H. Creath, former county
trustee, and j. b. Thomason, state rev.
enue agent.
More than year ago Mr.. Thomson
caused citation. to issue against the
company to show cause why it should
not be back assessed for three years.
The company applied for an injunc-
ton, contending that it was exempted
from taxation by section of the con-
stitution, and that 1T was the plain pur-
pose of the law to exempt cemeteries for
the reason that their lands were dedi-
Gated for a sacred use and rs per cent
of the gross proceeds of the sale of lots
is required to be set aside for mainten.
ance.,
Further, that if cemeteries or stock of
cemetery companies were taxed. taking
into account the sums required to be
set aside for perpetual maintenance,
class legislation would be the result and
Discrimination against cemetery COM
panies, which is was the evident pur-
pose of the law to favor.
Chancellor Fentress held that stock of
the cemetery company might be capable
Of furnishing the owners with handsome
dividends, and that to hold that the ag-
gregate value of the shares, less the
value of dedicated property, is not sub
ject to taxation would relieve the share
holders from payment of taxes and
would be discrimination against all other
taxable property.
Application of the company for an
injunction was dismissed. An appeal
will be taken to the supreme court
