Democratic Plans.
The democrats are, OF course. pre
pairing to go to the country with the
record of President Wilson's messages
urging Il repeal of excess profits taxes
and more scientific arrangement of
taxes. with the various recommended
lions of Secretary McAdoo and Secre-
tary Glass as proof OF democratic ac-
tiVlty on the subject. And they Will
point to the inaction OF the republican
congress as the responsible cause OF the
continued inequities of taxation.
England Having Trouble.
England is having her troubles with
the same phase of her income tax law
and 1t is estimated that billions OF dol
lars have been lost and will be lost by
the evasion accomplished in failing to
distribute actual cash on earnings and
putting them in the form of stock divi-
dends that can be held for n decade or
so until the taxation burdens are eased
off and then sold at a handsome profit.
The solution which many members of
congress seem to be aiming at Is one
that would put q limit on a corporation
as a unit IL it failed to distribute its
profits. 1t would still be optional with
the corporation whether it distributed
or not, but the business would have TO
pay virtually penalty for that method
of handling its profits
The penalty might be Is per cent. one
year, 10 per cent. the next, per cent.
the third year and so ON, with the re-
suit that corporations and other busi-
nesses which didn't distribute their
profits would pay a higher tax for the
privilege of Withholding the distrlbu-
ton than IL they actually paid their
dividends in cash, The purpose would
be to compel distribution OF dividends
in cash instead Of stock.

No sound of retreating footsteps

to strike her like a blow. For a mo-

wall, her lips parted. her limbs trem-

assured her that she had only stunned
her assailant. With deft hands that
worked speedily in the darkness she
unstrapped from around his waist the
belt with it's thirty-six cartridges and
revolver, then pulled from his pocket
the keys, not only to her cell, but, she
judged, to others.
The feel Of their bronze coldness in
her hot hands brought quick message
to her brain; beyond a question of
doubt the missing Cavendish was con-
cealed in one of the dark, dank cells
in the immediate vicinage, If not ac-
tually in this same passage, then in
another one perhaps not greatly dis
tant.
Reaching beneath her cutter skirt,
she jerked loose her white petticoat,
and then began tearing it into long
strips which she knOtted together.
This done, she bound Juan Cateras,
hand and foot, and, with some diff
Guilty, turned him over on his face
after FIRST thrusting into his half-open
mouth a gag, which she had fashioned
from stray ends of the providential
petticoat.
Then leaping to her feet and strap
ping the ammunition belt and revolver
about her waist, she stole on tiptOe to
the doorway and peered out; the ST.
lent, cavernOus passage was empty.
Lithely, like a young panther, she
slipped out of the cell and began max
ing down the passageway to a spot of
light which she judged to be its open
ing. She had scarcely gone ten feet,
however, before she stopped short
somewhere in the dark she heard a
voice.
What was to be done? Her temples
throbbed as the voices sounded nearer.
Then it came home to her-why not try
one of the other cells? Suiting action
to the thought, she stepped quietly
from the niche in the wall, moved
noiselessly along its surface, and came
at length to another dungeon similar
to the one she had occupied, except
that it had no window in its oaken
door. Fumbling with the bunch of
keys, she took the first one around
which her fingers fell and thrust it
hurriedly into the lock. She strug-
gled with it-turning it first to the
left and then to the right. The foot
steps were sounding nearer and near
er every minute, the voices were grow
ing louder
Frantic, she gave the key final des-
perate twist, and as a sigh of relief
escaped her lips the door swung open.
Slipping through the aperture, she
closed it softly after her and, painting
from excitement and her -exertiOns,
turned and faced the recesses of her
hidlng-place.
1t was black, pitch-black, except for
long ray of light that struggled in be-
tween the heavy door and its casing,
but as Stella Donovan stood there in
the gloom she was aware that she was
not the only occupant of the cell. She
crouched back, grpped in the hands of
another fear, but the next moment her
alarm was lessened somewhat by the
sound of a soft, well-moduIated voice.

She heard the rock sound against her
oppressors head, heard a low moan
escape his lips, and saw him sink slow
ly to the floor at her feet.
The next instant she was beside him,
in terror lest she had killed him; but
a hurried glance, supplemented by her
fingers which reached for his pulse,
