CHAPTER XVII.
john valiant Asks ! ouestIon.

Valiant went with them to the
outer door. A painful thought was
flooding his mind. 1t hampered his
speech and 1t was only by a violent
effort that he found voice:
"One moment! There is a question
I would like to ask"
Both gentlemen had turned upon the
steps and as they faced him he
thought a swift glance passed between
them. They waited courteously, the
doctor with his habitual frown, the
majors hand fumbling for the black
ribbon on his w%aistcoat.
"Since l came here, have heard
his tone was uneven-"of a duel in
which my father was a principal.
There was such a meeting"
There was" said the doctor after
the slightest pause of surprise. Had
you known nothing of it?"
Absolutely nothing"
The major cleared his throat. 1T
was something he might naturally not
have made a record of" he said. 1.-THE
two had been friends, and tit was
a fatal encounter for the other. The
doctor and / were your fathers sec
onds."
There was a moments silence be-
fore Valiant spoke again. When he
did his voice vas steady, though drops
had sprung to his forehead. WAS
there any circumstance in that meet
ing that might be construed as re-
flecting on his-honor?"
Good God, mol" said the major ex-
plosively.
"On his bearing as a gentleman ?"
There was a hiatus this time in
which he could hear his heart beat.
In that single exclamation the major
seemed to have exhausted his vocabu-
larry. He was looking at the ground.
1t was the doctor who spoke at last,
in a silence that to the nan in the
doorway weighed like a hundred at
mospheres.
MOI" he said bluntly. Certainly
not. What put that into your head?"
When he was alone in the library
Valiant opened the glass door and
took from the shelf the morocco case.
The old SILVER of repugnance a over
him at the very touch of the leather.
In the farthest corner was a low COM
mode. He set the case on this and
moved the big tapestry screen across

bucks a chance to rig out In silly tog-
gerry and prance their colts before a lot
of petticoats!"
TITS an annual affair" explained the
major; "a kind of spectacle. For
many years. by the way, it has been
held on a part of this estate-perhaps
you will have no objection to its use
this season?-and at night there is a
dance at the Country Club. BY the
way, you must let me introduce you
there-tomorrow. I've taken the liberty
already of putting your name up"
Good lordi" growled the doctor.

I'd reached your age. Bristow-"

CHAPTER XVI.
In p~evIl-John's Day.

He was still sitting motionless when
there came a knock at the door and it
opened to admit the gruf voice of
Doctor Southall. A big form was close
behind him.
Hell. Up, I see. took the liberty
of bringing Major Bristow."
The master of Damory Court came
forward-limping the least trifle-and
shook hands.
"GIad to know you, sah," said the
major. ALLOW me to congratulate
you; it's not every one who gets bit
ten by one of those Internal mecca
sins that lives to talk about it. You
must be a pet Of Providence. or else
you have a cast-iron constitution.

Tax Penalty Not
Due Until Fall

Circuit Judge Cleeton Of Multno-
nah county handed down the opinion
Tuesday that the penalties Of one per
cent month imposed by the 1913
legislature on taxes not paid before
April first are invalid and granted
the restraining order prayed for by |
Roger b. Sinnott against Tax Collect |
or Lewis enjoining the latter from !
collecting the penalties. Judge Clee-
ton held that taxes do not become
delinquent under the law until Sep
tember first and that penalties can
be collected only on delinquent taxes.
Tax Collector Lewis said after the
decision that he deemed the only pos
sible mode Of procedure would be to
take an appeal, and on request from
him the county commissioners APP
pointed Friday afternoon at two
O'Clock for a meeting at which future
action will be determined.
To this meeting all elective officers
will be invited, also Governor West
and the members of the state tax
commission. The state officers are
included because the decision is eX-
pected to throw the entire state in a
turmoil regarding what method to
pursue as to tax collections.
Under the terms of the injunction
penalties can be collected on no
taxes whether the first half before
April first or not. Sinnot asked only
that penalties on deferred half pay
ments be stopped, but Judge Cleeton
went farther and declared invalid the
entire provision as to penalties OF
taxes unpaid prior to April first.
Chairman Galloway of the state ia,
commission has called a meeting t
decide what. action shall. be taken re
garding the collection of taxes il
other counties or whether the com
mission shall take some action t
have the case in Multnomah count.

cry Of Economical Method
for Releasing Metal.

Deadwood. 8. d., Mar. ~2.-Inquirea
are being made regarding the deposits
OF anthony bearing ore In the Silver
City district on Rapid creek, following
the announcement OF the discovery by
q French metaIlurgist OF q method for
extracting the metal, much more eco
nomicaiiy than has been done in the
past. This combined with the recent
increased demand for the metal, be-
cause OF Its extensive use in the nan
ufacture OF automobiles and In max
ing those matches which must be
scratched On a preparation attached to
pecttng for h metal in practically all
the camps Of the country. where It Ia
known to exist. The matches referred
TO and h preparation mentioned, are
composed OF about One-third antimony
and the use OF this character of match
has increased phenomenally in the past
year.
The silver city anthony belt ex-
tends about n mile south OF Rapid
creek and a mile and a half north.
1t varies In width from q quarter to
"a half mile. The anthony bearing

which follow the formation OF the
country.
There has never been any doubt In
the minds OF those familiar with the
district that proper management and
the necessary capital might have long
ago transformed the camp into a
producer, but there have been seri-
GUS obstacles TO contend with, In
cludfng the disposition of the old
timers to hold their properties at
prohibitive prices and in some cases
refusing Il sell at any price. IL the
owners of ground there will treat pros
pectiye purchasers fairly, there is a
prospect OF a big excitement in the
district.
