When a return is made in good faith
and an understatement of the amount
of the tax therein IS due to no fault OF
the taxpayer. no penalty attaches, but
interest attaches to the amount Of the
deficiency at the rate of one-half of
per cent per month. If the understate-
ment is due to negligence or to inten-
tional disregard OF authorized rules
and regulations with knowledge there

If for any reason a return cannot be

So I felt safe in studying the couple
whose life threads had been 50
strangely. almost tragicaIly, inter-
woven with mine. I pa id little atten-

mark that while still the strikingly
handsome, dcbonair man Of the world
he had been when I had first seen
him, there was that in his appearance
which betrayed he was drinking more

his caddish brutality toward Lillian.
But on Grace Diapers exquisite pro-
file and beautiful figure my eyes rest
ed with intent scrutiny. The person
atty of the girl who once so nearly
wrecked my life's happiness, and who
I fear will never give up her mad pas
sion for Dicky and her determination
to be revenged upon me. has always
fascinated even while il repealed me.
The contrast between the absolute per-
lection Of her face and the distorted
soul of her is a problem that never
loses interest for me.
Unlike her companion, she had
neither put on flesh, nor was there the
least sign of dissipation about her.
That she was in the pink of physical
condition every movement of her sup
pie body showed But her face, ex-
quisitely rounded and tinted though 1t
was with the glow Of health, yet held
an indefinable air OF hardness, sordid-
ness, which even Harry Underwood's
saturnine countenance did not equal.
She didn't have much to say to her
companion, and there was no hint OF
affection between the two. I guessed
that their association was pre-emi-
nently a self seeking one, each max
ing use OF the others talents in the
queer, sinister life they had made for
themselves.
1t wasn't long before the feminine
intuition which enables one woman to
read another discovered for me the
fact that Grace Draper was searching
the cafe for some one. Her eyes were
never still, but restlessly roved from
one table to another over the large
room. And then the thing 1 feared
came to pass. Grace Draper turned
around and swept our table with her
searching eyes.

I dug my fingers into my palm in a

glass from the bottle of spanish wine
which stood before US, but really, as
diinly realized, to shield me from any
wandering glances.
Drink this quickly" he said in so
low a tone that no one beyond our
table could possibly have heard him.
But there was a note of authority in
his voice, and 1 obediently clutched the
glass Of wine and drank its contents.

the rim Of the glass and realized that

She had planned this expedition with
such infinite care to avoid our identity
being known, even to costuming us as
South American women, and here I
was endangering the whole scheme by

OUR MOVIE MENTION
Can't Fool Major.

Major Jack Allen knows a whole lot
about wild animals because he tress-
passes right into their back yards and
films them a Ia natural. But, when
he visited his little niece, Dolly Fay, in
Philadelphia q few weeks ago, Dolly
asked him a question that nearly had
the nature man puzzled:
"Say, Uncle Jack. how can a leopard
tell when anything goes to the right
spot?'
The major dcliberated a few mo-
ments, in fact as he admitted to Us.
he felt as much cornered as a leopard
In a cage Then he eclaimed:
why, Dolly, when it goes to one spot
the leopard knows it's right because
then all the others are left"
Somebody ought to sic the major on
that Edison questionnairre.
