place tax commission of three,
which would have the powers of
the present board of equalization.
Passage Of law providing for

on the personal tax roll was also
recommended.
1t was recommended that The

favored the enactment of a law
providing specific fine fer
property owners who refuse to
make statements or who make

Dick Reynolds nodded.
"Yes-you look like the picture she
had on her bureau. She read that you
had been killed in action and so she
just got pale and sick and went away.

away. He wrote a letter to Marcia,
addressed it in care of her old employ

waited. At last after months of
fruitless waiting and searching he
found position in Chicago. Night
after night he went to the movies, hop

Wntched the progress Of the play with
feverish interest because there was q
girl-
She had appeared at intervals In the
play, and while there was vague IA
miliarity about her face and even her
graceful walk, he could not make up
his mind whether it was his Marcia or
not. Her face was made up little,
as was his own, and both were part
of a grotesque looking company. Some
enc told him her name-Elizabeth
Jayne-and because he was afraid to
have his dream shattered, he did not
pursue the subject further. Then it
dawned upon him that this was the
girl he was to rescue-surely, he
would know then!
He played his part extremely well
and found a strange fascination in the
work; the girl looked at him once or
twice with a faint show Of interest,
but the grease paint disguised him
well. Then came the moment when
Dick, the bad man, was to kidnap the
hero's sweetheart. Dick mounted his
horse, dashed up to the cabin door,
shot the hero with blank cartridge
and swooping down.. gathered the
girls slight form in his arms and
dashed away to the big tree, where he
had been told to await the blare Of the

stopped under the tree. "Set me down,

the doors closed and the next day he
saw it again. By this time he was
sure that his own sweetheart was act

manager Of the theater.
With the name Of the producers he
found the location Of the company

his grip he set out in the search for
Marcia. By this time he knew the
picture by heart, learned that the name
Of the actress was Elizabeth Jayne, but
strong in his own belief he declared
the girl to be none other than Marcia.
At Hollywood the studios were all so
busy that he barely escaped becoming
famous because he had refused so
or an extra in one Of the many COM
panies. Once he had an adventure
that he never forgot.
