CHAPTER XIII.
Crossing a Deep River.


A grizzly bear hidden among the
haystacks back Of the corral would

than De Spain secreted In the heart
of the Morgan stronghold. Her
troubled speculations were reduced
now almost to wondering when De

though she felt to further parley, she
believed he would go the sooner II she
were to consent to see him again.
That day Nan washed her hair. On
the second day she found herself de-

for the last time, and toward sunset.

face was one of reflection and irreso'

his brief period Of nourlshment that
Nan, when she, stepped up on the ledge
at sunset, would not have known the
wreck she had seen In the same place
the week before.
His heart jumped at the sight OF
her young face, and her clear, coura

THIRTY STATE sREWERIEs
 AFFECTED BY TAX
Additional $1.5o Barrel is Placed on
 Beer.

There are 30 breweries in the Con- necticut internal revenue district which includes this state and Rhode Island. The new revenue bill calls for an i'm
 creased tax on the products of these, and notice to that effect has been sent
 to the breweries by Collector Walsh.
 The additional tax is s1.o9 per barrel on all beer including lager, ale. porter and other similar fe:nented liquors, of alcohol, held in storage on the date of the passage of the bill, or received since, which when removed from the brewery premises was tax paid at the rate of $1.o0 per barrel.
 . Says the notice from Collector Walsh:
 1If you have more than one place where such fermented liquor is stored. a, separate inventory of the same should be made for each place. and if branches are maintained in other col lection districts the inventory cover ing such branches should be sent. to the collector of the district in which each such branch is located. Addi- tional copies of this blank may be ob- tained upon application to me. Each inventory should be made in duplicate. one copy to be forwarded to me and the. other retained by you, to show visiting officers.
 "Only brewers. wholesale dealers, jobbers holding tax-paid beer in stor- age are required to pay this additional tax.-
 'After the inventory has been pre- pared. take 1t to a notary or other of1- Ger qualified to administer oaths, and sign it in his presence, and have him attach his signature and seal. Pur- chase a postoffice money order, draft, or certified check, made. payable to me, covering the tax due and inclose in- ventory and remittance in an envelope addressed to me. place postage thereon and mail 1t. This should have your immediate attention in order to avoid misunderstanding and annoyance to both yourself and to the department when examina tion of your place is made by examining officers" --.-

GONG. CHURCHES MAY CONSOLIDATE
Second Church Appoint Committee Confer With Broad way Church to Practcabiity of Such Union-Both Pastors Dwell Possibilities of Closer Cooperation.

The benefits to be derived from a union of forces on the part of the Second and Broadway, Congregational churches of this city, were dwelt upon by the pastors of both in their ser mons Sunday morning. At the Second church Rev. Herbert J. Wyckoff spoke on the topic. Objections vs Opportu- nities as a Test of Church Vision. Rev. Edward s. worcester at the Broad way church continued his discourse on New Occasions Teach New Duties. Both came therefor to consideration of the possibilities of a much closer cooperation between = these two churches associated by history and neighborhood
 Among the advantages mentioned by one or both of the speakers were the following. A completer and more va ried staff of workers could be se- cured without increase of expense preacher and pastor, director of relig- -ious education and young peoples work secretary. and parish assistant, and the customary musical leaders
 The organized. activities in successful operation in either parish could be extended to include the members of both without the necessity of doubling the effort of lay workers. A single Congregational enterprise in the down town field could make a fresh survey

of contemporary needs in the com munity, and co-ordinating it's own ef- forts and cooperating with other churches with the whole situation de- liberately in view. enter upon larger work with oorrespondingly greater in terest. The two properties could be put to more varied and constant use than either can be at present, one for pu blic worship and the more general social gatherings, the others for clubs. classes, societies; and the various fea- lures of an institutional work. The opportunities for such service are abundant and the needs greater than either church can well meet singly; whereas together they could face them with no small hope of growth and fruitfulness. And the true aim of church activity is to serve largely ra- taer than to hold it's own" F.
 At the Second church A business meeting followed the morning ser vice. and before adjournment it was voted. to be the sense of the congre- gatidn that steps should be taken to- ward meeting the opportunity thss presented and further that a commit tee of ten, including the minister. be appointed to confer with the Broadway church as to the practicAbility of such union and the means of it's accom- piishment if it should be found desir- able.
