All this property, including the slaves,
would legally remain in her possession

toward me, gazing straight into my

She held out her hand and my own
closed over it, the firm, warm clasp
of her fingers sending strange thrill
through my whole body. An instant
she looked directly into my eyes, down
into the very soul of me, and what
read in the depths of her brown orbs
could never find expression in words.
I have thought of it often since-that
great, dimly lighted room, with the
guard at the outer door; the inert
almost lifeless body huddled on the
floor beside us, and Rene Beaucaire,
her hand clasped in mine.

encountered those of the girl. She
had drawn back to the table, startled
out of all reserve by this sudden APP

pistol yet remained clasped in her

though a ghost confronted her.

When the war work of the Y. W. G.

The need and suffering throughout

it was a problem to find where the

taken.

from similar transactions within the
year. Debts due to the taxpayer
actually ascertained to be worthless
during the year are deductible.
depreciation on property used in
a profession, in business, or in farm
ing is another item that may be
claimed as a deduction. The store
keeper may claim depreciation on his
fixtures, and on his delivery horses
| and wagons, but not on his stock
held for sale. The professional man
may claim similar deduction on his
| instruments, and, in the case OF a
| physician who maintains team or
auto for making his calls on patti
ents, reasonable depreciation may be
claimed. The farmer may claim de-
probation on his farm buildings,
aside from his personal residence,
also on his farm machinery, his work
horses and farm work wagons. The
theory OF depreciation, in connection
with the income tax, is that wear AMI
| tear caused by use in earning income
is a real expense in the earning OF
| that income. The rate is determined
! by the number of years that the
property ordinarily would be useful,
and the cost of the property is the
| basis of the computation. III the
property suffering depreciation was
bought or acquired prior to March ],
1913, the market value as of that
| date is used, instead of the cost, in
| figuring depreciation.

the net income computed without
the benefit of this deduction.
After the total of all income is
