 "No How strangel She did not even tell me she had been out of town. Was there anything of mine lying around the studio during her visit?"
 "It seemed rather strange to me, pr. George, that Harry should think of that only in connection with his wife's call upon me, but I made no comment. But back in my brain was laid away the thought of how afraid Harry was at the speech of people.

A QUARREL

"'And then one morning, Dr. George wrote Margaret. when I had given up hearing from him. Harry called me on the long distance phone. He had been home four weeks, he said; called back by something very important which, by the way. he did not explain to me.
 "'Wasn't that just like Harry to let me wait and wonder all those weeks? But I, like any other loving woman, was so glad to hear his voice that I would not let him make any excuses.
 "' Harry I said, when you have to make excuses for staying away from me, I shall feel that coming to see me has become a duty with you: and I shall know then that the little poem you sent me with your picture no longer holds true.
 "."Don't you realize. dear, that want you to come only when you want to come? And I want you to write when you just can't keep from writing to me, and not at any other time. And I want you to think of me

 Harry interrupted me, saying: But I want to come, my dear And I want you to know that I have been trying my best to get away to come to see you. It just seems as though I cannot live another day without seeing you. Don't you suppose you can come over here?"
 ".That, too, was very character istic of Harry-to ask me to come over there: to ask me to throw up any important business that I might have on hand just because he wanted to see me. This time. however, I think I surprised him. for I said:
 '"No, Harry, I can't come. I am very busy just now with series of magazine stories. They must be in by day after tomorrow. which gives me very little time to finish them"

ASSESSORS WORK MAKES
TAX REDUCTION POSSIBLE

Following the signing of the usual
monthly bills by the county COM
missioners yesterday a resolution
was passed to be presented at the
state board of equalization when
that organization meets at Carson
City next Monday. The resolution
is to ask a reduction in the Hum
boldt county tax rate from $1.222
to $1.06 on the one hundred dol
lars Of present tax assessment. This
request is to be made as a result
of the increase of assessed values
in this county of approximately one
million dollars, as reached by asses
sor C. G. Smith in compiling his as
sessment figures for this year, thus
emitting the taxpayers to the above
named reduction. The tax reduc-
tion is possible entirely because of
assessor Smiths action in adding
much property to the assessment
rolls and all credit for the tax
reduction is due to assessor Smith.
Action was deferred on a re-
quest by Mrs. w. L. Blackman,
colored, for assistance in schooling
of her nine-year-old son in an in
stitution for the blind.
A claim for payment of $500 to
the Southern Pacific company by
the county for crossings and cattle
guards constructed in the Love-
lock vicinity in 1916, was refused.
