EQUALIZATION BOARD
FIXES VALUATIONS
INCREASE GENERAL FUND LEVY
AND DOUBLING SCHOOL RATE
CAUSES MlLLAGE TO MOUNT
~ POINTS.

After a meeting lasting over three
weeks the state board Of equalization
completed their work of placing the
state valuation Tuesday. An increase
of $133,3O2.821 is reported in state
valuation over 1919. The valuation
in 1919 was s1.O6O.620,S3S and for
1920 $1,193,923.659.
The millage for 1920 is placed at
1853, or raise Of 4 " mills over
last year, being 1044 in 1919. This
raise is caused by the act of the spe-
cial legislature authorizing a raise In
the general fund from 3 to mills.
The state board of equalizat tion menu
bers. State Tax Commissioner J. M.
Thatcher, Land Commissioner Clark
Savidge, and State Auditor c. T.
Clausen. declared they felt great
deal of satisfaction in keeping the
millage at 4 v mills increase.
This is also caused by the double
rate on school children, which here
tofore has been a levy of SO per
child and which the special legisla-
ture changed to $40 per child for
this year. In 1919 there were 347.-
100 school children. according to the
population figures issued by Mrs.
Josephine Corliss Preston, state su-
perintendent of schools, calling for
2.6 mills levy. In 1920 there are
363.S14 school children, calling for
4.S mills levy. The other levies are
fixed by law and are the same year

CHAPTER ~.

1t was on the day that John Cardi-
gan received the telegram from Bryce
saying that, following four years at
Princeton and two years of travel
abroad he was returning to SequOia to
take over his redwood heritage-that
he discovered that stranger and not
the flesh of his flesh and the blood of
his blood was to reap the reward of
his fifty years Of endeavor.
For long time he sat there lethar
gic with misery. Eventually he
reused himself, reached for the desk
telephone, and pressed button on
the office eXchange-statiOn. His man
ager, one Thomas Sinclair, answered
"ThOmas." he said calmly, "yOu
know, of course, that Bryce is com
ing home. Tell George to take the
big car and go over to Red Bluff for
him."
George Sea Otter son Of Bryce
Cardigan's old half-breed nurse, was
person in whose nature struggled
the whites prediction for advertise
ment and civic pride and the red
mans instinct for adOrnment. For
three years he had been old man
Cardgan's chauffeur and man-Of-alI.
work about the latter's olkfashiOned
home. and in the former capacity he
drove John Cardigan'S single evidence
of extravaganza Napier car, which
was very justly regarded by George
Sea Otter as the king of automobiles.
since it was the only imported car in
the county. Upon receipt of orders,
therefore, from Sinclair, to drive the
Napier over to Red Bluff and meet
his future boss and One-time play
fellow, George Sea Otter arrayed him
self in a pair of new black corduroy
trousers, yellow button shoes, q blue
wooden shirt with a large scarlet silk
handkerchief tied around the neck, a
pair Of beaded buckskin gloves with
fringe dependent from the gauntlet.
and a broad white beaver hat with a
rattlesnake-skin band. Across the
windshield of the Napier he fastened
an OrangecoIored pennant bearing
in bright green letters the legend !:

carp he demanded bluntly. "this-the
SequOia stage! Take look, lady.
This here's Napier imported auto
mobile. It's private car and be-
longs to my boss here"
Bryce turned and lifted his hat.
"Quite naturally, you thought it was
the Sequoia stage" He turned q
smoldering glance upon George Sea
Otter. George" he declared Omi-
nously. but with sly wink that drew
the sting from his words, IF you're
anxious to hold down your Job, the
next time lady speaks to you and
asks you simple question, you an
swer yes or no and refrain from sar-
castle remarks. Don't let your en-
thusiasm for this car run away with
you" He faced the girl again. "Was
it your intention to go to Sequola on
the next trip OF the stage?"
She nodded.
THAT means you will have to walt
here three days until the stage re-
turns from Sequoia," Bryce replied.
A shade of annoyance passed over
the classic features Of the Highest
Living Authority. "Oh. dear" she

The further reason that quite obvious

Bryce could see that she was the
little daughter of some large rich
man. The sparsity Of ieWeIry and
the rich SIMPLICITY of her attire proved
that and moreover she was accom-.

she spoke in French in manner
which testified that before acquiring

and milk-white skin. a correct nose

Bryce guessed she was twenty or
twenty.one years old and that she had
temper susceptible of being aroused.
The fact that this remarkable
young woman had also left the train
at Red Bluff further interested him.
for he knew Red Bluff and while Civ.

Of that little ambitious city. Bryce
had a suspicion that no former Red
Bluff girl would dare to invade the
Old home town with French maid.
He noted, as further evidence of the
correctness of his assumption. that
the youthful baggage-smasher ut the
station failed to recognize her and
was evidently dazzled when, followed
by the maid. struggling with two
suit-caseS. she approached him and in
pure though alien English inquired
the location of the best hotel and the
hour and point of departure of the
automobile stage for San Hedrin.
The youth had answered her first
question and was about to answer the
second when George Sea Otter. in all
his barbarc splendor, came pussy

her instant assumption that here was
