held speech with anyone but the Al
gonquin- chief since we took to the
water. Cassion has but given orders,
and Chevet is mum as an oyster. l
endeavored to find you in Montreal,
but you were safely locked behind
gray walls That something was wrong
I felt convinced, yet what it might be
no one would tell me. I tried ques-
tioning the pere, but he only shook
his head and left me unanswered.
Tell me then, mademoiselle, by what
right does this Cassion hold you as
captiye"
My lips trembled, and my eyes fell,
yet must answer.
"He is my husband, monsieur"
1 caught glimpse of his face, pic
turing surprise, incredulity. He drew
a sharp breath and 1 noted his hand
close tightly on the hilt of his knife.
"Your husband! that cur! Surely
you do not jest?"
"Would that I did," I exclaimed,
losing all control in sudden wave Of
anger. "No, monsieur, it is true"
And I told him swiftly the story of
my enforced marriage.
"And Hugo Chevet, your uncle? Did
he remain silent? make no protest."
he asked.
I gave a gesture of despair.
"He! Never did he even conceive
what occurred, until told him later
on the river. Even now I doubt if
his sluggish brain has grasped the
truth. To him the alliance was an
honor, an opening to possible wealth
in the fur trade through Cassion's in
fuence with La Barre. He could per-
ceive nothing else except his good luck
in thus Kidding himself Of the care
of poor niece who had been a sorry
burden"
"But you explained to him?"
'T tried to, but only to regret the
effort. Giant as he is physically, his
intellect is that of big boy. All he
can conceive of is revenge-a desire to
crush with his hands. He hates Cas-
sion, because the man has robbed him
of the use of my fathers money; but
for my position he cares nothing. To
his mind the wrong has all been done
to him, and fear he will brood over
it until he seeks revenge. If he does
he will ruin everything"
D'Artigny stood silent, evidently in
thought, endeavoring to grasp the
threads of my tale.
GLOW did you attain the summit Of
this bluff he questioned at last.
"Yonder; there is deer trail lead
ing down."
"And you fear Cassion may follows"
"He will likely become suspicious
if 1 am long absent, and either seek
me himself or send one of his men.
This is the first moment of freedom
have experienced since we left Que
bee. I hardly know how to behave
myself"
"And we must guard it from being
| The last" he exclaimed, note Of de-
termination and leadership in his voice.
"There are questions I must ask, so
that we may work together in har-
mony, but Cassion can never be al
lowed to suspect that we have COM
| munication. Let us go forward to
the end of the trail where you came
up; from there we can keep watch
below"
He still grasped my hand, and had
no thought of withdrawing it. To me
| he was a friend, loyal, trustworthy,
| the one alone to whom 1 could con-
| fide. Together we clambered over
| the rough rocks to where the narrow
| cleft led downward.

on each pound, which does not sound like very heavy burden. But a half cent pound on 600,000,000 pounds means $3,0GO,000 that must be raised from the copper industry in Arizona. Does anyone here believe that those who labor in Arizona's copper mines will not share this burden? The friends of labor in this house will therefore, vote with me to prevent a reduction in the wages paid to the miners and shelter men of the great est copper-producing state in the union.
 The gentleman from Tennessee has said that there are two supreme duties which citizen owes to his country-to fight for it and to pay taxes. In answer to the presidents call for soldiers to protect the Mexi- can border there are more men under arms today from Arizona in propor- ! tion to her population than from any other state in this union. Not con tent with receiving this liberal offer | ing of the blood of her sons to de 1 fend the nation, this bill proposes to seize the treasure of Arizona by an unfair and discriminating tax upon her leading industry. I would be un- faithful to the trust that has been re- posed in me if I did not raise my voice in protest against this injustice. (Ap- plauSe.)

ceeding, even as an extraordinary method of raising revenue.
 If congress is to tax the copper in- dustry because it is profitable, then consistency demands like tax on steel Only last Saturday Henry Clews, that great student of finan- cial and business conditions, gave out this statement:
 ''The steel trade positively is suf- fering from overconsumption. Produc- tion is operated at the limit, yet there is no cessation in the pressure of or ders, no signs of weakness in prices, and the steel mills would welcome a respite from the urgent demands of consumers.
 I defy anyone to name a copper stock that has advanced from $30 to S53O a share, as did Bethlehem steel as a result of the munitions traffic. Why should not the steel industry, that pampered pet of protection whose demands have been insistently presented to the American people in every political campaign for the past 50 years, after having been fed with favors by law, now that it is pros porous why should not it's, profits be directly taxed to ; pay for a program of preparedness that will require more steel than any other metal? There are no two ways about it., Either steel should be taxed or copper should not.
 There is another matter that I want to draw to the particular attention of the friends of labor in this house. ] have been discussing this tax from the point of view. of, the owners of the producing mines in Arizona whose property is assessed this year for purposes of state and county taxa tion at a valuation of over $170,OOO, 900, but I would have this house re member that congress can; not levy a copper tax which will not. also be a burden upon the 30,090 men who are employed in mining and ore reduction in my state. More than $35 ,0O0,0 ,0OO will be paid in wages this year to these men, but the wage varies di rectly with the price of copper. If you put this tax upon copper, you re
 duce the wages of the men employed in it's production. 1 ask you to i'm. pose these taxes in suchsa way that no part of the burden can be shifted
 onto the laboring man.

zona are as patriotic as any other body of Americans. They are willing to pay fair share of the cost of pre- paredness, but they do object to hay ing copper singled out for double tax ation while no such discrimination is practised against any other meta1lurg- ical industry. As matter of fact this bill provides for triple taxation of large quantities of copper. First, the ref1ner must pay a tax on the gross receipts of his business. Then the alloyer, who purchases the refined copper that has once been the basis of a tax, is taxed on his gross re- ceipts. The alloyer sells brass to a intuition maker, who must pay tax on the gross amount he receives for the cartridges and other war material he has sold. A pound of copper that follows this course will, in all proba- bility be used as a basis for at least 2 per cent tax paid by the refiner, another 2 per cent tax paid by the alloyer, and still another tax of at least per cent paid by intuition manufacturer. I am sure. that the committee on ways and means could not have given much study to the ef-
  of copper or certainly they would not | have included this form of raising revenue in the bill
 I do not offer this amendment upon the theory that it will confer a spe- cial privilege upon the copper pro- ducers of my state, but I do insist that they shall not be discriminated against. That is the difference be- tween my amendment and the Hill amendment.
 { We are all agreed that the muni- l tion industry has been enjoying ex- ceptional prosperity and the profits derived therefrom are therefore a fit object of temporary taxation. We know that this industry has reached it's maximum growth and no one con- tends that this unusual tax is expect 1 ed to remain on the statute books for more than year. Except as to cop- per the tax will practically repeal itself when the shipments of muni- tions to Europe shall cease. I under stand that the committee considers that the necessity for this tax will end whenever the inheritance tax is | in full operation.

THE METAL MARKET

Copper is dull and the little buSl- ness that is being transacted is at the expense of prices. Lake and electro lytic are being sold in small lots at 25 1-2 to 26 1-2 cents, the higher price being for nearby deliveries and the lower for November and December. Seemingly there is every basis for the French and allied governments are manipulating the metal market. In order to depress prices they are offer ing and selling at loss small ton: nages of copper which they bought some time ago. The London metal exchange has been hedged around with restrictions and regulations un- til it is no longer natural free mar ket. Everybody is permitted to sell on that exchange and nobody but ac- tual consumers can make purchases, and these are limited to 25 cents at time. American producers and con- sumers have been brought up to con slider London metal exchange quota tations as a quite reliable indication of the markets trend and from force of habit they are consulting these quotations every day.
 Viewed from the standpoint of fund.- amentals the copper situation is ex- tremely strong. Practically all of the large producers have sold substantial ly every pound of the metal they will be able to deliver through October and well into November, and several of them have made large sales for de- livery during the following months, up to and including March. If they were disposed to do so they could buy such copper as is being offered by the few small producers who over stayed the market, by second hands and consumers and hold the price of the metal at 29 or 30 cents; but they do not feel that they have either the moral or legal right to do this. Do mestic consumers in general have GOV cred their requirements quite fully three or four months in advance and unless new orders for munitions are placed in this country or the Euro pean governments and manufacturers are forced to renew their purchases or 6 large scale the metal market may continue in its present unsettled con dition for two or three. months longer.

During the month of June 1916, total of 524 acres of land within the Apache National Forest, Arizona, were listed with the Secretary of the Interior and will shortly be opened to entry under the Forest Homestead Act. The lands thus listed were aP- piled for individually by five appl- cants, and each one of these tracts was examined by forest officer and found to be more valuable for agri- culture than for forest, purposes.
 Those whose applications withiA the Apache National Forest were fav- orably acted upon during the month of June. are:

and do not exceed s1O,OOO, 900.

and do not exceed $10,000,0O0.
 Three per cent of the amount by which such receipts exceed S1O,O00,- OOO."
 Mr. Hayden. MT. chairman, I have offered this amendment because, after careful consideration, I have reached the conclusion that the proposed tax on copper is unjust in that it dis criminates against the leading indus try of my state.
 It is true that the bulk of this tax will be collected from the refiners and alloyers of copper, but I trust that no member present will insist that the revenue thus obtained will actually come out of the pockets of those who manufacture" copper as the bill de- scribes it. The refiners and alloyers can not pass the burden on to the consumers by adding the tax to the price of their products, because re- fined copper and brass are sold in a world market, where the price is regulated by supply and demand. But the refiner can, and will, recoup him. self by either increasing the refining charges or by reducing the price paid for unrefined copper. Therefore, this IS d Ld4 upon pTOuuCIlOn IudI uuuSI ultimately be paid by those who mine copper ores.
 This tax dates back to January 1, 1916, and the amount due for this calendar year must be paid on or be- fore April 1, 1917. The United States Geological Survey recently estimated that at the present rate of production over 6OO,OOO,0O0 pounds of copper will be produced in Arizona in 1916. This is nearly twice the output of any other state, and represents over one-third of the copper produced in the United States. Six hundred million pounds of copper at an average price of 25 cents a pound equals gross receipts aggregating $150,000,0OO that will be subjected to taxation. The maximum tax under this bill is 8 per cent, but presuming that advantage is taken of that other provision of the bill which allows a net profit of 10 per cent on the amount actually invested in the manufacture" of copper, still it is safe to assume that this tax will yield a return of 2 per cent on the gross output. In that event, at least S3, 900, 900 will be collected from the cop per produced in my state.

THE TRUTH LEAKS

FACTS DEVELOP 70 APPROVE
SENATOR SMITHS POSITION
ON COTTON.

ATLANTA, March 1S.-The truth
about England's cotton contraband or
der and blockade, which cost the south
perhaps half a billion dollars, is be
| ginning to leak out according to lead
ing southern papers. and TO Justify the
attitude taken by United States Sena-
tor Hoke Smith who was bitterly crit
icised by the northern press some
months ago.
The fight made by Senator Smith
was a thankless one, for il will be
lrecalled that many people i'll the
south. carried away by their sympathy
4 for the allies, expressed willingness to
submit to England's arbitrary action
as a proper and necessary war meas
ure, though cotton had been specifical-
| ly exempted and put on the free list.
! Senator Smith maintained that cot
ton was not an essential to the manu-
facture of explosives and that Great
Britain's action was without excuse or
! Justification. He was accused, even by
some southerners, of playing poll
tics" and even of "sympathizing with
! the Germans
! 1t now turns out that Germany has
all the time been using wood pulp in
stead Of cotton as a base for her eX-
plosives, and that Senator Smiths con-
tention, right from the first, has even
been admitted on this particular point
about explosives in England.
