Bransome sailed the following day,
and, fifteen days later. arrived with
his regiment at the coast town. All
the interior was in a ferment The
regiment was sent up hastily to the
base. where it halted while the pio-
neers cut roads through the forest
And 1t was there that Bransome met
Travis.
He was to accompany the column
as political delegate to the loyal tribes
The two men, who knew each other
greeted each other warmly. though
Bransome naturally showed something
of constraint. Travis lunched in the

Thanks" said Travis indifferently,
and slipped 1t into his pocket.
The column started a day or two
later. Travis accompanying it. Often
thu men exchanged words Bransome
would look curlously at Travis, but he
could gather nothing from the agent s
inscrutable countenance.
There was. however little time for

Bransome felt that the question was
like an unwritten doom He looked
at Mary Starr In the moonlight as they
stood outside ColoneI Stars conserV-
atory.
Bransome had known Mary for five
months Colonel Starr, in whose regi-
ment he wa now a captain. had taken
a liking to ,ne young man when they
were posted in Malta. and had invited
him to his home in England. Now
Bransome, with the acting rank Of
major, was to leave for West Africa
to put down the rebellion of the Kru
tribe In the recesses of the forests.
And he loved Mary.
But he knew that she was engaged
to Lionel Travis, the political agent
among the Krus, who had made his
escape to the coast after sanguinary
fighting.
Yet they loved. and love was strong
er than honor at that moment. They
gravitated toward each other, and
stood looking at each other, not dar-
ing to speak lest they betray them
selves.

some at length.
"Yes?" Her word was like a ca
ress.
What shall tell him?"
Mary took the solitaire from her
finger. Give him this" she said soft

Bransome, incredulous, clasped her
in his arms and their lips met. You
love me, dearest?" he murmured.
II have loved you since we met. 1t

FRENCH TAX ON AMERICANS
In France Are Classified and
Must Pay.

The monthly bulletin of the Ameri-
can chamber OF commerce describes
the new French income tax, especially
as 1t affects foreigners residing in
France, says the New York Sun.
Article 6 of the law says: "A
general income tax is due on January
l of each year from all persons hav-
ing a habitual residence in France.
Those persons are considered to have
a habitual residence in France who
have a dwelling at their disposition
either as proprietors. beneficiaries by
usufruct or tenants, when in the lat
ter case the lease is arranged either
by a single agreement or by success
sive agreements FOR a continuous Pc

Article II says AS far as per

Ne Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied OF recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although 1t
is described In most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source Of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason Why
i should be q menace to human life.
