 She had pictured Matrices return from New York in such different way from this.
 They would meet alone, without prying eyes upon them.
 She had planned to tell him, the moment that they met, how very sor- ry and ashamed she was.
 He would forgive her. She would make him. The past would be blot ted out.
 But now Templeton, and the fact ot the miscarriage of the telegram that announced Matrices return, hah spoiled everything.
 She poured out tea with a hand that shook, and mind immensely troubled.
 Maurice did not appear till dinner time.
 During that meal he sat next to Mir. Ducane, and at the other end of the table from Natalie.
 Thereafter he was closeted in con- ference with his employer till half past ten o'clock.
 Natalie was waiting in the hall for him when he came out of the study.
 She rose up at once.
 But Maurice merely nodded rather stiffly, and announced that he wa very tired and anxious to get off te bed.
 A disappointed Natalie was left t. tell herself that she was reapng at she had sown, and that her lover did not want her any more?

SEEK TO PREVENT ABANDONMENT OF
 l.. A. & G. RAIWAY

Montgomery, November 15.-CSpe- cia1.)-Good offices of the Alabama public service commission were re- quested by the Gadsden Chamber of Commerce today in an effort to pre- vent the abandonment of the Ten nessee. Alabama and Georgia rail- road. which is operated between Gadsden and Chattanooga. and which has been in the hands of receiver for many months. The chamber of commerce desires that action looking toward the abandonment of the line be held up until the interstate com merce commission has had an oppor- tunity Go determine whether or not the present and future convenience and necessity of the line will per init the discontinuance of the service.
 The public service commission has addressed q communication to Judge F.. T. Sanford of Chattanooga in whose court the receivership is now maintained, urging that no abandon ment be permitted until the investi gation has been made by the inter state commerce commission.
 The usual course of the interstate commerce commission is to request the public service commissions of the states affected by any proposed aban- donment to make an investigation and to file report on the investiga- tion for it's guidance.

 Hello. there, Natalie" called out Templeton, delighted. This is good or you, just as I was giving up all hope. You're as welcome as the flowers in springr
 The girl approached him. Danby had turned aside for moment and she did not see him.
 It's nice to have you back again." She addressed herself to Templeton. This man cared for her. and in Nat alie's present depressed condition it was comforting to know that some one cherished kindly thoughts for her. Uncle and l have both missed you very much. The house seems &C., tually quiets'

 He would make hay while the sun shone, he told himself.
 Before anyone else tries to book the place of honor, may I sit up in front beside you while we're driving home?"
 Anyone else? What could he mean. Maurice had gone down the platform to get his bags and she did not sec him.
 Why, of course you mayl You haven't any luggage, have you, be- yond toothbrush? She smiled upon him. Lets get along"
 They moved over to the exit. and the groom-who was standing at the horses head-touched his hat defer entially to Templeton, who invariably was generous with tips.
 The latter helped Natalie into the trap machine, and then got up beside her.
 The groom was about to loosen his hold on the horses head, when Tenn pleton said, vaguely:
 "Oh. blame 1t all! I forgot about the Danby chap. I was so darn glad to see you again, Natalie, that 1t drove everything out of my head. But we can't go off without him. can we?"
 Natalie stared at the speaker.

 He isn't. There he is." Temple ton pointed to the gates of the sta- ltion. grinning rather sheepishly.

Hays Says Taxation
 System Destroys
 Incentiue to SaUe
By AssocInted Press

New York November 15.-Future federal revenue must be provided in some way other than by taxation which 'penalized thrift" and de stroys the incentive to save" Post master General Hays declared to- night in an address before the Fifth Avenue association
 MT. Hays told his hearers that the United States should adopt a system of taxation that would combine the virtues of being an encouragement; rather than a deterrent to initiative while safeguarding the earning pow CT of labor and insurance of a citi- zen's right to the enjoyment or wealth.
 This country cannot go on, and must not go on indefinitely during peace time with either the forms or degree of taxation devised to meet the emergency of war" he said. Be tween the mar. who consumes the product of his days work as fast as he creates 1t, and the man who prac- ticcs self-deniai--sav yes part of his days earnings and puts it in the sav- ing bank or in other forms of in vestments-between these two 1t IS the business of wise government to tax the former rather than the latter Our present system of taxation de stroyed the incentive to save
 T say, with all the emphasis at my command. that 1t is the business of civilized government to eneour- age thrift and safeguard it's fruits. rather than to penalize thrift and take away It's fruits through q male volent form of taxation. There Is no use to quibble over mere words and phrases.
 Tn addition to sanely, moderate Income tax. 1 most earnestly favor z sales tax on production tax or a tprnover tax, or whatever you choose to call system which taxes the cou- sumption of goods rather than ab stinence from the consumption Of goods"
 Referring to the armament confer ence, MT. Hays said:
 T say now-and I measure my Words-that the conference called by President Harding will be success ful, and De successful in a shot sr time than you anticipate"

 She had no idea that Danby was returning by this train.
 Her uncle had asked her to meet Mir. Templeton. Mir. Ducane had been vexed to note the depression that had hung about the girl for the past week, and longer.
 Templeton was cheerful fellow, and amusing. The drive would do Natalie good.
 Therefore the girl had been des- patched to meet this train.

Notes From Midland

during the approaching season
than ever before, according 10
reports from the annual conven.
tion of The National Midland Trail
association held at Kansas Citv,
Missouri, last Thursday.
It was brought out at the con-
vention that, next to railroads,
the Eationa overland highways are
the more important things to the
growth and prosperity of ever city
and town, and that before many
years those towns not located on
a great national highway will be
taking the back seats.
Plans to secure the overland
travel over this route was the chief
topic under consideration at the
convention. Extensive advertising
plans were adopted which will in.

land Trail, especially as this is the
shortest from coast to coast. II
is well marked in Orange and
Black all the way and is not sur
passed 10 the number of miles of

We are fortunate that our city
is located on this great national
coast to coast highway and will
receive our share of the benefit
from the work of the live organi-
zation which is behind it.

Civil Service Heresies

After an experience of many
years with appointments to public
Office under civil service regulation,
it is quite generally admitted that
the system has failed 10 improve
the service and is of no benefit,
except to the fice.bolder. Ii has
created an ofice-holding class se-
cure in their positions for q life
time, to the exclusion of others

more worthy Of public favor. The
patrons have absolutely no voice
in the selection Of persons to be

person in charge of the OWL SER

appointment, who would not be
chosen by popular vote for any

The examinations as usually
conducted are q farce and consist
chiefly of puzzling questions hav--

full lobbying by bunch of mug
wumps and dreamers. There never
was a popular demand for it. The
service is no better and in some
respects is inferior to the service
rendered under the old system.
Those who favor civil service
can give no reason to justify its
continuance. Ask them how it
has been of benefit to the public
service and they set up a howl
about the spoil system" and can
say nothing in favor of their hob

One would suppose that the civil
