He did not finish the sentence.
Aunt Josephine had already begun to
withdraw and I followed.
For a moment or two Craig and
elaine looked at each other, neither
saying a word, each wondering just
what was in the others mind.
Craig cleared his throat, the obvious
manner of covering up his emotion.
Elaine" he said at length, dropping
the recent return to miss Dodge" for
the moment, Elaine, is there any
truth in this mornings newspaper re-
port of-of you?"
She had dropped her eyes. But he
persisted, taking a newspaper clipping
from his pocket and handing it to her.
Her hand trembled as she glanced
yer the item:
SOCIETY NOTES.
Dame Rumor ls connecting the
name Of Miss Elaine Dodge, the
heiress, with that Of Perry Ben
nett, the famous young lawyer.
The announcement Of an engage
ment between them at any time
would not surprise.
Elaine read no farther. She handed
back the clipping to Kennedy. AS her
eyes met his she noticed his expires.

with the reply she had evidently been
Just about to make.
Still, AZ she lowered her head, it
seemed to give silent confirmation to
the truth Of the newspaper report.
Kennedy said nothing, but his eyes
continued to study her face.
He suppressed his feelings with a
great effort then, without a word,
bowed and left the room.

lows still farther"
An hour or so later, Elaine, whose
mind was now in a whirl from what
had happened, decided to make a call
on her lawyer and the confdant Of her
father, Perry Bennett.
AS Elaine entered his private office,
Bennett rose to greet her efusively
and they exchanged a few words.
II mustn't forget to thank you for
those lovely roses you sent me-" she
exclaimed at length. "They were
beautiful, and I appreciated them ever
80 much"
A moment later Bennett led the
| conversation around until he found an
opportunity to make a tactful allusion
to- the report Of their engagement in
the morning papers.
He had leaned over, and now at

thing about his touch which, try as
she might, she could not like. Was II

l shall forget the look that
crossed the secretary's face. Was 1t
the surprise of an innocent man?
Taking the mans place at the ma

sheet. Then he tapped out, as we
watched:

bomb and. the letter which Craig had
taken FROM Elaine's desk.
AS Craig pointed out the resem-
blances with a pencil my amaze
ment gradually changed into
comprehension and comprehension
into conviction. The meaning Of it all
began to dawn on me.
The writing was identical. There
were no differences!
While we were locked in the secre-
tary's office Bennett and Elaine were
continuing their chat on various social
topics. Suddenly, however, with a
glance at the clock, Bennett told Elaine
that he had an important letter to die
tate and that it must go off at. once
She said that she would excuse him
q few minutes, and he pressed a but
ton to call his secretary.
OF course, the secretary did not ap'
pear. Bennett left his office, with
some annoyance, and went into the adj
Joining room, the door to which Ken
needy had not locked.
He hesitated a moment, then opened
the door quietly. To his establishment
he saw Kennedy, the secretary and
myself apparently making a close e1'
animation of the typewriter.
Gliding, rather than walking back
i0to his W Office, he closed the door
and locked it. Almost instantly fear
and fury at the presence of his hated
rival, Kennedy, turned Bennett, as 1t
we're, from the Jekyll. Of a polished
lawyer and lover Of Elaine into an In
Banely Jealous and revengeful Mr.
i Hyde. The strain was more than his
warped mind could bear.
With q look Of intense horror and
loathing Elaine watched him slowly

His stature even seemed to be al

CONTEMPTIBLE EVASION

In Illinois a special tax investigator
has just established the fact that q
man who for a quarter of a century
has paid taxes only on horse, a bug
gy, and a piano, was all that time DO
sessed of various forms of property
aggregating in value twenty-five mill
ion dollars. Proceedings will be start
ed to collect back taxes.
A similar investigation in Idaho
would doubtless reveal unexpected
sources of income for the state treas
ury. Evasion of just taxes is no nov
city here; and concealment of prop
erty is an old story, dating from terri
torial days. Books and securities
have been known to be as migratory
as birds; and bands of sheep and cattle
have mysteriously passed out of pos
session as taxassessing time draws
near. In Idaho the driving of bands
of sheep from one county to another
or into an adjoining state, the owner
protesting that he has gone out of the
business entirely, has been a custom
that has meant much trouble for as
SCISSORS.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
A BELATED MILITARY PRO-
GRAM:-The Secretaries of War and
the Navy with their advisers are work
ing on a belated military program
which, it is estimated in some quarters
may call for appropriations amounting
to $500,000,000. The gravity of the
German situation, the increase of an
archy in Mexico and the general crit
icism of the Nations lack of military
preparedness have combined to inspire
the Administration with a realization
that something should be done, and
now, at the eleventh hour, Mr.. Wilson
is preparing to recommend a some
what comprehensive program to con-
gress. There is every reason to fear,
however, that if congress heeds this
proposal great sums will be wasted.
When President Wilson, by the exer-
ton of his personal influence with
congress, defeated the Gardner resolu-
ton calling for a thorough investiga
ton of the military needs of the ma
ton, he deprived himself and congress
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-08-06

and the public, of the most available
method of learning the needs of the
country in advance of the expenditure
of funds, of emphasizing certain abus-
es, some of them of long standing,
which operate seriously to diminish
the efficiency of the military establish
ment and of acquiring information es-
sential to the intelligent and econom-
ical expenditure of funds. Of course,
one of the reasons why the president
was so opposed to the Gardner reso-
luton was his conviction that it would
serve in large measure to show the
worse than inefficient administration
the navy was receiving at the hands
Secretary Daniels. Moreover, such an
investigation intelligently conducted
would have exhibited the almost Grim
inal folly of reviving certain south
ern navy yards which prudent admin
istration had proved should be aban-
dOned in the interest of both efficiency
and economy. But Mr.. Wilson's
southern friends wanted no such ex-
pose and Secretary Daniels violently
opposed it and so the Gardner reso-
luton was killed-at what promises
to be tremendous cost to the Nation.
