deal better before-before l can even
listen to that sort of conversation.
I'll wait another month, them, said
the young man gloomily.
The truth was that Lydia was decid-
eddy spoiled. But then, at twenty-one,
with a score of eligible young men up
on tiny island, with dances and en-
tertainments going on all the time,
one does love little amusement be-
fore one settles down to the staidness
of married life. Lydia knew that she
had loved Hardy from the moment
they set eyes on each other. But she
was not going to let him know yet.
Not. perhaps, until her fathers term
of service ended with the next year S
presidential elections, which, everyone
knew. would throw his party out OF
power.
Before the month had gone any
where near half way, John Hardy
knew that his love was the overmas-
| tering impulse of his life. And Lydia
| seemed as distant as ever. Worse,
she had become reconciled with d.
verse and sundry ancient suitors, who,
finding life unsupportable without
feminine society," had conquered their
feelings and humbly craved Lydia for
! her friendship, which she had been
pleased to accord.
Then one day John failed to turn up,
as usual, and the next day, instead OF
excuses, he brazenly said that he had
had an appointment. During the ensu
ing weeks he came far less often to
the residence. Lydia pretended not to
care But somehow the society of the
callow youths who had made love to
her began to be intolerable. Willingly
or not, she realized that John was
necessary to her life.
When he did come he was as pleas
ant as ever But never another wore
of love passed his lips. And about the
end of the month he had given him

mission for 1916. Is s3li.0il.270 This
is an increase OF s. S2cG.2e2 over the
valuation fixed By The commission for
1915. which was .lUj.77i.91s. II ex.
ceeds the valuation originally re.
turned by the assessors this year by
39.350,s9s.
The 1916 figures we're made public
by Howell Earnest. secretary Of the
State Tax Commission. following the
certification OF the valuation TO State
Auditor Sargent. The tax rolls were
revised and the valuations finally
fixed at the recent meeting OF the
commission.
The 1916 total does not include the
net products Of mines. which will not
be determined until the February
meeting of the State Tax Commis'
sion. At that meeting the mine re-
ports for the present calendar year
will be examined and the net value oi
the mine output fixed Tor purposes OF
taxation.
The 1915 total Of taxable mine out
put was over $l0.0Do.OOJ. and It is ex
pected that the 1916 mine total will
considerably exceed that amount. due
to the increased production OF sev
eral concerns.
