This requirement is made in the
War Tax Bill which became a law
October 3, 1917. The sections of the
law which refer to this tax are:
Section 500. That from and after
the lrst day of November, 1917, there
shall be levied, assessed, collected, and
paid (e) a tax of 5 cents
upon each telegraph, telephone, or ra-
dio, dispatch, message, or converse
ton, which originates within the
United States, and for transmission
of which charge of Is cents or more
is imposed.
"Section Sol. That the taxes inn
posed by section five hundred shall be
paid by the person, corporation, part
nership, or association paying for the
services or facilities rendered.
"Section SOB. That each person,
corporation, partnership, or associa-
ton receiving any payments referred
to in section five hundred shall collect
the amount of the tax, if any, imposed
by such section from the person, cor
poration, partnership, or association
making such payments, and shall
make monthly returns under oath, in
duplicate, and pay the taxes so cod
lected and the taxes imposed upon it
under paragraph two of section five
hundred and one to the collector Of
internal revenue of the district in
which the principal office or place of
business is located" ADV.

putting it plainly--what business this
Is of yours"

be my wife, and because 1 am hoping
that some day, before very long, she
will consent"
The prince sat quite still In his chair,
his eyes fixed upon a certain spot in
the carpet. He had not even the APP
pearance of being engaged in thought.
He seemed only stepped in sort OF
passivity. Finally, with sigh, he rose
to his feet.
my young friend" he decided, "your
statement alters the situation. l did
not credit you with matrimonial inten-
tons. L must see what can be done !"
His lips relaxed ever so slightly-so
slightly that they showed only u
glimpse of his teeth in one straight,
hard line. He looked at John mildly,
and his words seemed destitute of all
Offense; yet John felt the llghtnings
were playing around them.

guardian of my brothers happiness.
Whoever triiles with 1t shall In the fu-

His eyes We're fixed upon her soft.

seemed suddenly to be drawing near
to her. She watched him, fascinated.
She was trying to scream. Even after

She had heard his measured tramp de-
scending the stairs, her fingers flew TO
her throat. She held herself tightly.

throbbing pulses. Ii was not until the
front door had closed that she had
the strength to move, to throw herself

Louise ate a very small luncheon,
but-an unusual thing for her-she
drank two glasses of wine. Just as
she had finished, Sophy came in. with
ink-stained fingers and u serious cx-
preston.

claimed, rising suddenly and throwing
