LONDON, May 10. - Feeling
that America does not fully realize
the magnitude Of her task In the
world war, was continuously ex-
pressed in some quarters here to-

The apprehension was based on
scrutiny OF the proposed American
tax bill and particularly on the
provision for 6 per cent tax on
excess profits.
England has a tax of 80 per
cent on such profits. Her indus
tries are accepting this share In

caution, asserted his denial loudly.

at sounded like it. What was the
matter?"
Both boys returned her curious
glance with meekness. They were sum-
moning their faculties-which were
needed. Indeed, these are the crises
which prepare a boy for the business
difficulties Of his later life. Penrod,
with the huge weapon beneath his
jacket, insecurity supported by an ell
bow and by waistband which he in
stantly began to distrust, experienced
iii ctrnCcfIJ1 conco lions SiY,1iIar fo those
of the owner of too heavily insured
property carrying gasoline can under
his Overcoat and detained for CONVEX
sation by policeman. And if in the
coming years, it was to be PenrOd'S lot
to find himself in that precise situa-
ton, no doubt he would be the better
prepared for it on account of this pres
ent afternoons experience under the
scalding eye of Mrs. Williams. 1t
should be added that Mrs. Williams
eye was awful to the imagination only.
1t was a gentle eye and but mildly
curious, having no remote suspicion
of the dreadful truth, for Sam had
backed upon the chest of drawers and
closed the damnatory open one with
the calves Of his legs.
Sam, not bearing the fatal evidence
upon his person, was in a better state
than Penrod, though when boys fall
into the stiffness now assumed by
these two, it should be understood that
they are suffering. PenrOd, in fact,
was the prey to apprehension so keen
that the actual pit of his stomach was
cold.
Being the actual custodian of the
