The Yellow Face

with The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

turned my face to the wall sick al
heart, with my mind filled with 6
thousand venemous doubts and sus-
picions. What was it that my wife
was concealing from me- Where had
she been during that strange expedi-
ton? I felt that l should have no
peace until | knew, and vet | shran,l
from asking her again after once she
had told me what was false All the
rest of the night / tossed and tumbled,
framing theory after theory, each
more unlikely than the last.
81 should have gone to the city that
day, but | was too disturbed in my
mind to be able to pay any attention
to business matters My wife seemed
to be as upset as myself, and / could
see from the little questioning chances
which she kept shooting at me, that
she understood that | disbelieved ner
| statement, and that she was at her
wits end what to do. We hardly eX.
changed a word during breakfast. and
! Immediately afterwards | went out for
a walk, that | might think the matter
out in the fresh morning air.
Il went as far as the Crystal Pal
ace. spent an hour in the grounds. and
was back in Norbury by one o'clock
1t happened that my way took me past
the cottage. and | stopped for an in
slant to look on the windows, and to
see if | could catch a glimpse of that
strange face which looked out at me
| the day before. AS | stood there, inn
agine my surprise. Mr.. Holmes, when
the door suddenly opened and my wife
walked out
Il was struck dumb with astonish-
ment at the sight of her; but my emo
lions were nothing to those which
showed themselves upon her face
when our eyes met. She seemed foc
an instant to wish to shrink back in
side the house again; and then seeing
how useless all concealment must be.
she came forward, with very white
face and frightened eyes which belied
the smile upon her lips.
".Ah, Jack she said, 4 have just
been in to see if I can be of any
assistance to our new neighbors. Why
do you look at me like that, Jack?
You are not angry with me?'
80 said I, this is where you
went during the night
What do you mean? she cried.
You came here. / am sure OF IT.
Who are these people that you should
visit them at such an hour?'

you know it is false? l cried. Your

gasped, in uncomfortable emotion
Then, as I approached the door, she
seized my sleeve and pulled me back
with conclusive strength.

everything some day. but nothing but
misery can come if you enter thai

her off she chung to me in a frenzy
of entreaty.

PART TWO.

Mr.. Munro went on:
Il am usually an extremely sound
sleeper 1t has been standing jest
in the family that nothing could ever
wake me during the night. And yet
somehow on that particular night,
whether it may have been the slight
excitement produced by my little ad
venture or not I know not, but |
slept much more lightly than usual.
Half in my dreams / was dimly con-
scious that something was going on in
the room and gradually became aware
that my wife had dressed herself and
was slipping on her mantle and her
bonnet My lips were parted to muir
muir out some sleepy words of surprise
or remonstrance at this untimely pre-
paration, when suddenly my eyes fell
upon her face, illuminated by the
candle light, and establishment held
me dumb. She wore an expression
such as had never seen before-such
as | should have thought her incapable
of assuming. She was deadly pale
and breathing fast, glancing furtively
toward the bed as she fastened her
mantle. to see if she had disturbed
me. Then, thinking that ! was still
asleep. she slipped noiselessly from
the room, and an instant later | heard
/ sharp creaking which could come
I only from the hinges of the front door.

took my watch from under the pillow

this earth could my wife be doing out

morning?
Il had sat for about twenty min
utes turning the thing over in my
mind and trying to find some possible
explanation The more | thought, the
more extraordinary and inexplicable
did it appear. was still puzzling over
1 it when | heard the door gently close
again. and her footsteps coming up
the stairs.
Where in the world have you
! been, Effie" | asked as she entered.
"She gave a violent start and a kind
! of gasping cry when ! spoke. and that

all the rest, for there was something
indescribably guilty about them. My

when her own husband spoke to her.

a nervous laugh. Why, I thought that
nothing could wake you.

more sternly.

TRY NO NOVELTIES
IN REVISING TAXES,
is PENR0SE ADVICE

WASHINGTON, Oct 5. = Further
revenue revision legislation ought to
be enacted as soon as possible, Chair
man Penrose of the senate finance
committee, said in a statement en-
phasizing that the pending measure
was merely of temporary and emery
ency character.
Discussing the sales tax, Senator
Penrose said there was mo use TO al
vance novel or untried suggestions OF
taxation at a time when promptness
of action of some kind is the slogan.
House leaders were even more pro-
nounced in their declarations regard
ing such a tax, Chairman Fordney OF
the ways and means committee, and
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
Republican leader, declaring that no
such proposal could be put through
the house.
Mr.. Mondell insisted there had been
no change in the house sentiment that
there should be a lifting and not a
shifting of taxes" Mr.. Fordney took
a similar view and it was indicated
that house leaders would insist upon
a tax revision program substantially
in accord with that agreed upon at the
White House conference last August.
More Careful Revision Later
Senator Penrose said there were
many sources of revenue and methods
OF taxation that ought to be consider
ed by congress at an early date and
that he intended to address the senate
1aYf
Just as soon as the pending bill be-
comes a law he added, u hope TO
submit to the consideration of some
tribunal-either special tax commit
tee or the committees of the house and
serate-a number of suggestions that
may be fruitful
Meantime we have only one thing
do. Get the country out of the
depths into which it has been plunged
and restore business and industrial
activities and employment and correct
inconvenience as much as possible
Senate consideration of the tax bill
was confined TO a vigorous assault on
The measure by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, a Democratic member of the
finance committee He denounced the
bill as IAN infamous" piece of legisla-
ton and declared the Republican plan
10 relieve the wealthy corporations
and individuals Of a large portion of
their taxes was "a boot-licking per-
formance."
Resents Surtax Cut
Analyzing the bill in detail, Senator
Reed attacked the proposal TO reduce
the maximum income surtax rate from
So per cent to 80 per cent, declaring
the argument that this would keep the
rich from evading taxes through in
vestment in taX-free securities was a
"subterfuge" that would not stand the
test of analysis.
