the ways and means committee Tues
day night and introduced in the house
Wednesday.
If the trainers overlooked any tan
| gible article upon which it is possible
to levy a tax, it was not because of
any desire to do so.
Incomes, inheritances, business prof
its, amusements. liquors, tobacco, auto
mobiles, moving pictures, baseball
games. medicines. letter postage, trans
portation and jewelry are among some
of the things which will feel the bur-
den of taxation.
Tariff VIII Yield $2oo, 100000.
The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff to make up a deficit of
something like S2OOOOO,O0O. This was
done by an agreement to tax of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutiable
list.
Income-tax increases as made public
by Chairman Kitchin follow:
Taxes for the year ending December
81, 1916. have been increased exactly
one-third. These taxes are due in
June.
Exemption limits have been reduced
to $1,000 for single men and $4,000 for
married men.
The normal tax on new classes of
incomes to be taxed, those between
$1,000 and $4,000 for single men and
between $4,000 and $4,000 for married
men, has been fixed at 2 per cent.
Normal taxes on all incomes former
Iy taxed, those above $4,000 for single
men and $4,000 for married men, have
been increased from 2 to per cent

He smiled down at her. She had
come armed with confession. But the
offer meant reinstatement, another
chance. She would work her finger
ends off for him. She would make it
up to him in other ways. But she could
not tell him and lose everything.
Come" he said. "Shall We go back
and start over again?"
He held out his hand.

The income tax schedules were not
changed except for the determination
to place an added tax of one-third on
individual income taxes which are due
in June of this year. Under this pro-
vision those who already have paid
their income taxes for the year ending
December 81, 1916, will have to pay
another one-third of their taxes again,
and those who have not paid will have
to pay one-third more when they do
pay.

caress that, perhaps more than any
thing else, it typified the change in
their relation.
When the door closed behind her, he
saw that she had left her ring on the
arm of his chair. He picked it up. 1t
was still warm from her finger. He
held 1t to his lips with quick gesture.
In all his successful life he had never
before felt the bitterness of failure.
The very warmth of the little ring

His eyes, lifted from the ring, fell on
the red glow of the roses that had come
that morning. Even in the half light,
they glowed with fiery color.
The ring was in his right hand. With
the left he settled his collar and soft
silk tie.

last time. Katie brought word to him,
where he was helping Harriet close her
trunk-she was on her way to Europe
for the fall styles-that he was wanted
in the lower hall.
"a lady!" she said, closing the door
behind her by way of caution. "And
a good thing for her she's not from
the alley. The way those people beg
off you is sin and shame, and it's
not at home you're going to be to them
from now on"
So *. had put on his coat and, with
out so much as glance in Harriet's
mirror, had gone down the stairs. Car
he saw at once the ravages that trou-

than her age.

the office to write his story. and

to spend the remainder of the
evening there, over a good dinner.

for the enjoyment of the place,
and I trifled so long over coffee
and cigaret that it was far past l 0
O'Clock when came out again into

I decided to walk home. and

down 23rd ST., when, Just at the
corner, | came face to face with

Simmonds, with M. Pigot between
them.

and, as | turned westward with
them, he dropped back and fell
into step beside me.
Where are you ging?" asked.
We're going round to the sta

ton up his sleeve for us-it's got
something to do with that cabi-

him a chance to get up here"
There was drug store at the
corner with public telephone sta

tor on the wire and left my mes

house.
There was no one in sight ex-

where Grady and the other two
men were.
In the middle of the floor was
the Boule cabinet, with M. Pigot
standing beside it, and Grady and
Simmonds sitting opposite.

Don't worry" said Grady, cas-
lily, we're not going to injure 1t.

SEATTLE, March 14.-In a
small, darkly lighted court room
in the King county court room,
Tom Tracy is the center of inter-
est in the history making murder
trial, growing out of the shooting
affair at Everett last November,
when armed citizens clashed with
a boa load of l. w. WIS.
The big issue involved is wheth-
er sympathizer with the crowd
alleged to have precipitated the
murder, can be held guilty of the
crime fully as much as the one
who actually did the killing. The
defense claims that the theory Of
constructive murder" is wrong.
for an enemy may do the actual
killing In order to deliberately
charge the whole gathering with
murder, though none was contem-
plated.
The entire country Is watching
the settlement of this issue.

"T'll be there" promised. And

The boat was cast loose as soon
as we got aboard and we stood for
some time looking at the river
scene in silence.
IT'S a great sight, isn't it?"
Godfrey said, at last. Hello! look
at that boat" he added, as a yacht
drew abreast of us and then forged
ahead. "She can go some, can't
she? l wonder who she is? What
boat Is that, captain?" he called
to the man on the bridge.
Don't know, SIR" answered the
captain. She's flying the French
flag. There come the other press
boats behind us, SIR" he added.
And there's the Savoie Just SLOW
ing down at quarantine"
The Savoie slowed down. A mo-

side her, made fast, and three or
four men clambered aboard.

Godfrey. And there is that
