Tax Bills Presented.
Three tax bills of great interest

DRASTIC RULES FOR

one of the commissioners brusquely
proposed that Hardy be summoned to
attend upon them. Vandervyn inter-
posed with the suave suggestion that
the acting agent might leave in the
safe some of the papers necessary to
full understanding of the affairs of
the agency.
At this the party fingered only for
parting nip at Dupont's liquid hos
pitality. Assuring Marie that they
would return in time for dinner, they
left under the escort of their host.
With the excuse that he had mislaid
his hat, Vandervyn returned to the
dining room. When he came out, he
shut the door. Marie was alone in the
parlor. All the suppressed fire of his
passion famed in his face, as he
turned and came swiftly back to the
waiting girl. There could be no doubt
that he expected her to meet him half
way.
She stood beside a chair, somewhat
pale, but outwardly very calm. She
did not advance single step. Yet,

''If l had ten times million, and
could buy you character like his, L
would gladly pay it all-all!"
The slash of whip in his face would
have stung him far less. He stared at
her long moment, while the full
meaning of the words cut through the
armor of his self-esteem. Modification,
anger, furious chagrin famed in his
face. He raised his hand as If to
strike her, and instead, whirled about
and rushed out through the porch.
The girl sank on her knees, and
pressed her hands to her lips to stife
the cry that would have called him
back. When she looked up, her face
was white and drawn with anguish.
But she had conquered.
He shall nOt-shall not know my

determination. IF only it has Offend

with the irresistible passion of his
love. Dearest l-let me call you that

gaze.

wish to tell you how you made me
realize again that life is worth living.
When came from the Coast, / had
lost one dearer to me than anyone else
in all the world-my mother. She
was little woman, very frail-her
blue eyes were dim and faded, her
hair white; but even when she-was
at the very end-her dear eyes sought
to ease my grief with the same look
you gave me as you bent over me
here and thought me fatally injured"
"Please!" begged the girl, choking
back a sob. II do not deserve
Your mother but am not kind nor
goodw
Hardy went on in the same voice
of profound passion: "You lifted me
out Of the shadow of the Valley. You
came to me In my blank darkness,
glorious light of divine goodness that
compelled me to see that all was not
wrong with the universe-that even
so great loss as mine might be for
the best"
II am not what you think mel
am notp she reiterated.
"You restored my faith and hope"
he insisted. ut would be selfish Of
me to ask anything more of you
now"
"It would be useless-useless! !" she
cried. a
He was too little versed in feminine
nature to realize that her vehemdnce
might indicate an effort to suppress
an inner doubt of the assertion. Had
he been few years younger, youth
full impetuosity might have won him
that which his reverent respect shrank
from urging. He had taken her
gloved hand. He pressed 1t to his lips,
and freed her.
II shall not annoy you, dear" he
said. "Yet cannot take that as final.
1 shall wait until he returns. Then
shall take my fighting chance"
"You will?" she whispered.
II shall not give up until you have
pledged yourself to him. If l can,
will prevent that. He cannot pos
sibly love you as 1 love you. If it is
possible to win you for my wife, /
will do it."
Marie quivered, and shrank from
him as if startled. "You say, when

Too furious to heed what he was
about. Vandervyn struck off up rug
ged gulley behind the Dupont house.
An hour passed before he came back
down the mountain-side. He was
changing his clothes when Dupont
brought him an impatient summons
from the Office: "Hurry up, Mr.. Van

Dupont. "You didn't say you wanted

pont.

Don't you know enough about army
officers to realize that he would never
marry-a quarterbreedY
Dupont's crafty eyes narrowed. I'm
not so ALFRED sure of that. There's
lots of 'em has married even half
breeds. I've seen 'em."
"Years ago, when the frontier was
months away from civilization"
"Mebbe, and mebbe them breed girls

Marie. She's lady,"
Vandervyn's lip curled. "If you must
have the gaff, Jake-how about your
self? Do you think an officer son-iD-'
law would care to have you visiting
him at an army post?"
Dupont scowled. "Well, there amt
been no harm done, and you're back
now."
"Quite true. But his attentions have
put Marie on her high horse. l wish
you to take stand against him and
back me up with her."
"You sure can count me in on that.
Mr.. Van," eagerly assented Dupont.
"Al right. I've got him fixed. But

If he comes to dinner tonight I'll have
gay little surprise or two up my
sleeve Tor him."
II been waiting to ask you about the

deal?
"We've got to make a show of i.

style rush plan."
Suppose one of them there men at

Vandervyn thrust out his Jaw.
Don't fash yourself. I'm going to
have that mine. This is my idea OF
the way we'll fix it." He leaned over
and murmured in Dupout's ear.
The trader shook, his head. "Um-mI
I'm not saying that mightn't work
Just the same, though, it'd make you
the only one what could do the enter
ing. I'd be a sooner"
"The mine would be entered by me,
| but of course we would have the un-
derstanding that you were to get your
half" replied Vandervyn. He stepped
briskly to the door. "Come, l guess
the bunch has had time enough to cool
theil heels"
Still frowning dubiously, Dupont fol-
lowed him over to the office, where
Hardy and the commissioners sat wait
ing for them, stiff and constrained.

blinded by his own ardor, he came on
without needing the look in her face
until within arm's-reach of her. Then
at last he perceived her lack of re-
sponse, and stopped.
II say!" he exclaimed. "What's the
matter? Is this the way to welcome
me back, sweetheartT
The term of endearment brought
quick blush into the girls cheeks. But
she replied in cold, even tones: "Are
you now at liberty to address me as
your fiancee?"
His eyes shifted before her level
gaze. Don't be foolish, Marie. You
know you're the only woman. You
know that engagement must stand un-
til we are sure of the mine. There is
something else, as we'll"
'This is quite enough for the pres
ent," she broke in. II promised to
wait for you until you should come
back-free from your cousin. You have
returned, but you are not free from
her. Is it honorable for you to speak
to me now~
"How can help it?" he urged, seek
ing to melt her with his ardent gaze.
"YOu are the only woman-the only
one in all the world to me. There is
not another half as beautiful, tenth
as charming"
She quivered in response to the deep,
golden notes of his voice, yet held her.

resolute will.
"You speak of love-" she rejoined.
"You say nothing of marriage"
"How can II" he asked in an ag-
grieved tone. "You know that until

long now. These commissioners are
jumping-jacks in the hands of my un-

But the girl drew back from his
pleading arms.

"Yes, it is-that gentleman p she
flashed back. Again the slender finger

Vandervyn. you're far too much alive,

She blushed and trembled. But she
had spent all the days of his absence
in that intimate comradeship with
Hardy. At the moment when Wander
vyn thought to take her into his arms,
her will rallied, her eyes hardened
with resolution.
'I have said that will wait. That
is enough. You also shall wait"
His eyes narrowed. HAS it never

self-control that was as remarkable
as 1t was misplaced.

During the pleasant, busy days that
followed, to all appearances Marie en-
joyed the work and planning and the
long hours of companlOnship fully as
much as Hardy. Dupont, now ever
bluff and genial, kept close to his
store. But during the long evening
discussions his eyes often twinkled
cunningly under their gray thatch.

We were out again last Friday
with Mr.. Guerry and visited
several points of interest. We
arrived at Mr.. j. L. Gaskins
just before a much needed rain
fell and made this headquarters
during the afternoon and early
Fevening. Much of the time was

the fields were wet. Then, too,
there was another attraction.
Mrs. Gaskins is an excellent
cook and had the wherewith at
hand to prepare an excellent
meal of coffee, milk, butter, cab
bage, corn pone, biscuit, country
ham, eggs, frie / chicken and de-
licious pie. Mr.. Guerry enjoyed
these as well as we did from
appearances). Mr.. Gaskins has
a splendid farm and lives largely
at home.

fields where we saw some fine
