earlier that day but for this little incl

now explain to Mr.. Wood, his kind
host.
Half an hour later found Bruce seat
ed in one of the ordinary cars of the
flyer. As the train yet paused for the
engine to take on water, he reviewed
Mr.. Woods last hospitable words, the
pressing invitation to remain longer at
his house. Miss Wood had not come
down; she was in her room changing
her gown. Mr.. Wood thought. She

present herself in person, bid him au

A singular circumstance had been on
his mind all the while he talked with
Mr.. Wood those fast moments on the
front steps. The key TO the French
door of his room that he had felt sure
be had lost had been returned to the
lock. What did 1t mean That he had

fewer WEDDINGS
IN BADGER STATE
People Of Wisconsin Aroused
Over EugeniCS Law.

Milwaukee, Dec. 22-"There is alb
goIutely no likelihood for the calling
of a special session of the legislature
20 reconsider the so-called eugenic
marriage law" said Governor F. E.
8IcGovern.
This puts an end to the state wide
adverse criticisms which have been
directed at the bill as tie time draws
near for it's enforcement-Jan 1.
Never before have the people of
Wisconsin been SO aroused over a
state bill. Ministers appear to be
leading the defense of the bill, while
doctors are heading the opposition.
Ministers say that the measure will
lead to a general uplift of the future
generations and base all their argu-
ments on the ethical side, while the
doctors take a practical opposition by
saying that the fee of So for examin-
alton of all prospective bridegroOms,
as allowed in the law, is far too small
and that they will refuse to make the
examinations. County physicians who
are permitted to make the examin-
atiOns say they cannot do so because
they are not equipped to make the
tests required by the law
DR.. G. A. Harper, secretary of the
state board of health, said that his
BOARD can do nothing to aid in dis
entangling the marriage law, while
Attorney General Owen said that he
would not participate in the disagree
ments over the measure.
Louis Widule, Milwaukee county
clerk, said that he would refuse to
grant marriage licenses to any man
after Jan. 1 unless he had a health
certificate.
In the meantime there is rush for
marriage permits all over the state
lest the efforts of Cupid be delayed
by the alleged follies of legislators, as
Ghe doctors claim. or the greediness
OF the doctors, as the legislators as
Sert.

HEIRS PAY Nv $4,000
inheritance Tax of Alice Bradley lis
lev and Edna Bradley Tweedy.


Milwaukee, Dec. 22.-One of the
largest amounts of Inheritance tax
paid in the history of the county was
received by Theodore Dammann, the
county treasurer, when a check for
100000 was paid by Alice Bradley lis
lev and Edna Bradley Tweedy, the
heirs of the late Edward Bradley.
This amount was paid as tender
as the law provides that an inheri-
Gance tax paid within year is sub
feet to a discount of 5 per cent. If
paid within eighteen months no dis
count is allowed. If the tax is not
paid within eighteen months an addi-
EiUna1 charge of 10 per cent is made
on the entire amount of the tax for
the eighteen months and as many
months over that tine as the tax re-
rains unpaid.
The county court has not yet fixed
Che inheritance ia on the Bradley es-
tate. When the tax is fixed, should
the amount be lower than the sum
paid in, a refund of the balance will
be made to the heirs.
