WOMEN'S INTERESTS
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

The man dropped on his knee
by the bed and put his arm arounC
his daughter
Little girl" he said, II know
She is my life"
The woman on the bed opened hel
eyes wide. Was that Horace speak
ing? ..
repression" he went on. ~ never
told her that she had saved me. Coo
help mel was not worth it,"
A thin hand stole3 feebly and
tremblingly across the bed anc
touched his hair. He started anc
grasped 1T.
She's awake!" he whispered to the
girl.
Then he sprang to his feet and
! bent over the bed as Grace, with un-
steady fingers. lighted the shaded
night lamp.
"Myra, darling!" he murmured.
Darling" the wife echoed weak
ly and so low that he scarcely heard
the word. The dark eyes on the
! pillow gazed up into his. as If
their owner were looking into the
heaven to which she had come sc
near instead of into the face of q
mere man. "Is 1t all true?" she
whispered.
The Saving ord
"All?"-she breathed-"that you
just said?"
"Truer he exclaimed. "As true
as Gods love and my own unworthi-
ness!"
And you think am going to die?'
A whimsical smile touched her blood
band to the daughter who had sunk on
her knees by the bedside. You think
l am going to die?"
Horace Webbs only answer was a
smothered sob.
But" the faint voice went on, the
smile now creeping up to the sunken
eyes. Il am going to get we'll! 1 have
so much to live for that l just can't
die!"
Grace Webb was married in June.
During the following summer she and
Dayton, with her father and mother,
took motor trip into the Catskills
A week after their return to New
York DR.. Horton ran in to see Myra
Webb.
'T declare! he exclaimed, you
look as young as your daughter
That illness you had made you over
and yet I thought you'd not pull
through it. IT suppose" with a smile,
that you got well just to make us
happy
She laughed as merrily as a girl
'I got we'll because I wanted to!" she
told him. "I had been tired, that
was all, and then all at once I got
rested. "I think" suddenly growing
grave, that one sometimes must go
to the very gate of death before she
learns how much worth living life can
be-"
Perhaps so. Perhaps SOL" Dr.
Horton muttered.
Yet he looked puzzled as he went
on his way. It is to be doubted If
he, a doctor of the body, really un-
derstood.

SEITZ WINS BIG
TAX VICTORY
Sustaining of Kunkel Ends
Long Fight by Adams
Express Co.

City Solicitor Daniel S. Seitz has won
his contention that the Adams Ex-
press company and other associations
of a like character are liable for a
city tax upon their real estate and
horses. In it's decision promulgated
last Saturday the Supreme Court
unanimously sustained Judge kunlSel
in upholding the contention of the
City Solicitor.
More than five years ago City Solic-
itor Seitz raised the question and the
matter was taken up with the late
Lyman ID. Gilbert and other counsel
for the Adams Express Company. 1t
was held on behalf of the company
that inasmuch as it was assessed on
its capital stock and otherwise by the
State 1t was not liable for local tax.
When the case went before the Dau-
phin County court, counsel for the
Company vigorously resisted the con-
tention of City Solicitor Seitz, but
President Judge Kunkel handed down
an opinion in favor of the city. I'M
mediately the company appealed to
the Superior Court. where the case
was again vigorously fought by the
company. The intermediate court al
so decided in favor of the city. Judges
Head and kephart dissenting. Then
followed the appeal to the Supreme
Court, the case being argued last May.
L ne opinion WntCn was nanQed
down on Saturday sustains Junde
kunkel and the entire contention of
City Solicitor Seitz. This means that
the courts have finally settled the
question of local taxation of public
utility corporations and also means
that the courts will not extend the ex-
emption beyond such organizations
as have been duly chartered by the
Commonwealth and which corpora
tions cannot perform their public
functions without receiving a public
grant from the State.
The Adams Express Company is a
joint stock association under the laws
of New York. The decision means
that the company will be compelled to
pay a local tax on it's real estate and
horses all over Pennsylvania and the
aggregate tax mill Will mean a large
sum. City Solicitor Seit naturally
feels some qualification in the final ap-
proval of his contention by the sever
al courts.

The Doctors Ultimatum
When the attendant had followed
him into the hall he added sig
nifeantly:
Let them be with her as much as
they wish. 1t can hardly be for long
now. And vet" with a shake of the
head, "she might live If she could only
be reused enough to make an effort.
But it can't be done"
AS pitiless with himself as he would
have been with another man. Horace
went over every step of the past years.
Self-repression had been his fetch.
He had served 1t and bowed before
it; he had tried to make his wife do the
same. And he had killed her-that is
what he had done-he and the daugh-
ter whom he had trained to be like
himself.
He had let the woman he loved work
herself to death; when encouragement
and tenderness might have made the
work easy he had withheld them.
Grace in Tears
Oh If he had only let her see his
emotion, had only told her that but for
her he would never have succeeded,
that but for her
A sound from where Grace sat at
the other side of the bed startled him.
Grace crying! He had not seen her
shed tear in ten years!
Rising, he went around to her. In
the dusk she raised her face toward
him and pressed his band gently over
ner hair.
IT can't spare her, l can't spare
her." Grace moaned. She has always
understood me, has loved me better
than I have loved myself. She has
comforted me in my troubles. has re-
joiced in my happiness. I have never
told her this-because I didn't like to
say such things. And now it's too
late!"

FAIRBANKS. - Many people in Fairbanks, oldtimers of the Klondike country, will remember Percy Hagel and his father. Pere Hagel was for years one of the leading attorneys of Dawson and later removed to Winni- peg, where he made big reputation and fortune for himself. Hagel, the younger, who was sentenced to serve a term in the penitentiary for assist ing a client to escape jail, has now turned evangelist and is ready to save the world, in quite as spectacular a manner as Billy Sunday. In fact, he is offering Billy Sundays line of talk, but with less effect.-News- Miner
