lently with impotent evaporation. II
was Intolerable yet It must be endured
There was one satisfaction: they would
find nothing, and presently Mrs. Gosnold
would reappear and their insolence be
properly punished.
She could not believe that Mrs. Gosnold
would let It pass unrebuked And yet
OF a sudden It was borne In upon the
girl that she had found this little island
world heartless, selfish place, that she
had vet 20 meet one of its inhabitants by
whom her faith and affection had not
been betrayed, deceived and despised
Remembering this, dared she count
upon even Mrs. Gosnold In this hour OF
greatest need?
Had that lady not, indeed, already
failed her protege by induging in the
whim of this unaccountable disappear
ance?
Must one believe what had been sug-
gested. that She believing her confidence
misplaced in Sally, was merely keeping
out of the way until the unhappy busi-
ness had been accomplished and the puta-
tive cause of 1t all had been removed
from Gosnold House?
Behind her back the futile business of
searching her room, so inevitably pre-
destined to failure and confusion, was be-
ing vigorously prosecuted to Judge by
the sounds that marked its progress. And
from the shifting play OF shadows along
the wall she had every reason to believe
that Miss Pride was lending the detective
n willing hand. If so, 1t was we'll in
character; nothing could be more consist
ent with the spinsters disposition than
this eagerness to believe the worst of the
woman she chose to consider her rival
in the affections of Mrs Gosnold a
pitiful impotent, Jealousy-bitten creature
Sally was almost sorry for her, picturing
the abashment of the woman when her
hopes proved fruitless, her fawning over
lures toward forgiveness and reconcilia-
tion. Possibly she had been one of the
two to accuse Sally on the cards.
The other? Not Mrs. Standish. She
would hardly direct suspicion against the
girl she despised when by so doing she
would imperil her own schemes. She was
too keenly selfish to cut off her nose to
spite her face. Sally could imagine Mrs.
Standish all this while as remaining con-
spicuously aloof. overseeing the search
with her habitual manner of weary toler-
alton, but inwardly more than a little
tremulous with fear lest the detective
or Mercedes chance upon that jewel case

HOPE FOR PRESIDENTS
PRESENCE ON 4TH
Expected to Attend Celebration
Here If international Hori-
zon Shall Have Cleared.

There is every indication that President
Wilson will attend the national Fourth
of July celebration in this city unless the
controversy with Germany has serious
results. Those who are close to the
President say that his failure to an
nounce acceptance of the invitation to
come here cannot be construed as re-
fusal. The numerous international events
of the last few weeks, they contend, have
occupied his entire attention, and when
the most serious phases of these trou-
bles have passed away II is believed he
will consider his outside engagements.
In view of the wave of renewed patriot
ism throughout the country. many of the
most prominent officials at Washington
agree that a national celebration of In
dependence Day at the birthplace of lib
erty would especially typify the spirit of
the American people. That the President
approves of a national celebration of the
Fourth In Philadelphia was proved by his
presence here last year, and IL Is under
stood that he has not changed his mind
In this respect Those who are deeply
interested in the proposed celebration
point out that the present Chief Executive
realizes that the people will eagerly vel
come an opportunity to give expression
OF tnelT pHtTlOusW, eSpeClailS at tiis
time.
The fact that he will have an oppor-
tunity of personally addressing the Gov
ernors and representatives of nearly every
State In the Union at the coming celcbra-
tion, IL Is believed, favors an affirmative
reply.
Although the event Is seven weeks off
many of the local hotels have already
received numerous inquiries as to reserva-
tions Most of these come from the East
and indicate that large number of per-
sons who intend visiting the Panama-Pa
cifio Exposition will stop over in Phlla-
delphia to witness the patriotic ceremo-
nies and at the same time view the point
of interest.
1t is expected that the arrangements
will get well under way this week, when
the Governor announces the personnel of
the commission which will cooperate with
Councils committee in mapping out the
plans.

day. Mrs. Allen died in Redlands. Cal.
Her original will included a number of
charitable bequests but in a codicil made

The estate amounts to about $4,000. In
explaining the codicll. Mrs. Allen wrote:

RECENTLY ACQUIRED SCHOOL LANDS
TAXABLE.

In an opinion written the past week
by Vice Chief Justice Turner. Of the
Supreme Court, it was held that the
school lands recently sold in the state
aud ON which only small installment
Of the purchase price had been paid
were Ia Nable
This decision was rendered in the
case of n Comanche county farmer,
who sought 10 avoid paying taxes on
the school land he hH bought by
claiming that the title still remained
in the state and that the state was tax
ing its own property.
The decision in this case will dispose
of the vast number of similar eases
pending, without further litigation
At the time OF the recent land sale
in this county the question WAS raised
as TO whether or not these lands so
purchased would be taxable. some
claiming that they would not. IL wa
the general opinion however. that the
lands would be subject to taxation ana
the recent decision OF Justice Turner
proves the truth Of the latter opinion
With such vast acreage of taxable
lands added to our county, II looks
like taxes per capita should be percep-
tibly lowered this year.
