Her answer was low moan.
He released her at last and went
over tc the gun.rack.

in her temple of disarmament, he
said slowly: Dearest, ! was about

She came slowly over, conscious
that her knees were trembling, and
that ice-water seemed to have taken
the place of hot blood in her veins.

instant imperious. It was almost as

me. II has been till today"
She withdrew the rifle from the
rack herself, and he took it from her
trembling hands, but when he had
accepted it she threw her arms about
him again and chung to him wildly,
her eyes wide with silent suffering
and dread
The crushing grasp of his arms hurt
her and she felt 4 wild Joy in the
pain. Then she resolutely whispered

she added with fierce tenderness. God

Then she opened the back door very
cautiously on the shadows that crept
into inky biackness, and saw him slip
away and met instantly into the
murk.

writer from observation and eX-
perience before tax boards is
double sure of that fact,) legis-
lation of this nature would very
quickly make it a common law of
the land: in fact, why not take
this saving plan ourselves and
make this retirement our own.
Barbourville, an Incorporated
town, for instance pays one tax
more than those tax payers living
in the county outside of the town
but that is no legal reason why
the tax payers of BarbOurville
should not pay their proportional
part of the taxes along with the
farmer, the man who pays more
tax on his realty than any other
class of citizens. The fault lies
in the lack of a grade scale to
equatably assess. The banks by
law, are compelled to pay a tax
on so per cent of their capital
stock. Too much and too unjust.
The big coal corporations pay
taxes on about % per cent of
their property. 1t should be on
a grade of 40 per cent and no
more because coal industry is
our very soul sustenance, and
should be encouraged here in
Southeastern Kentucky. The
farmer is paying taxes on about
an average of 500 of the value
of his lands and about 1870 on
his stock and other personality =
This should all average up at not
more than 400. Money, Bonds,
Notes. Mortgages, etc. sh9dld not
be taxed 100 per cent to the dol
lar with the result that perhaps
not more than 10 percent of such
items are unearthed and taxed,
but if the law stipulated about a
80 per cent assessment t30cehts

likely be ready to list every such
item, and too, where double tax
alton was remedied.
Taxation valuation here in
Knox County on a grade scale of
this kind would surely increase

goes from the county lines around

"They Stayed and Died."
From the Chicago Herald

The steTnest test of the mettle of the
soldier comes during q retreat. The sue
ceSsful conduct of rear guard actions
which will enable the major part of a
force to elude a superior enemy involves
a courage, discipline and willingness to
sacrifice oneself greater than is usually
required. To the soldiers of the victorious
army naturally goes the palm of victory.
but one is inclined to reserve the greener
laurels of the hero for the dogged few
who give themselves as a willing sacri-
flee, foredoomed and foreknowing, that
their comrades may be saved.
A dispatch from London tells how two
companies of Royal I~nniskilling Fusiliers,
one of the Irish regiments in the British
divisions that have been retiring from
Serbia, CALAMITY made this sacrifice. Ire
mendously o~utnumbered by the Bulgarian
forces, without artillery support, they
still held a ridge until the rest of the
British forces had a chance to retire and
prepare a new defensive position. Hardly
one of the rishmen escaped. But they
did not fall until they had lone their
work and once more shown the mettle of
the race from which they came.
They stayed and died. In the PAN
theon which the Ireland of Home Rule
will raise to perpetuate the names and
shelter the memory of the deeds which
have added luster to the race these now
unnamed heroes will not be forgotten.
Some tablet will stand therein inscribed
with the names of all the Kellys, Burkes.
and Sheas who have known how to light
the weary stretches and the wearier mem
cries of a lost campaign with the fadeless
Sp!endor of a high and heroic death.
