with her explanation Of the latter's

she was In the car again, rolling
homeward through the frosty night.
She did not speak 10 Haines, but
now and again she glanced at him
with troubled eyes.
Then she looked up quickly.
Haines was still sitting with his
hands on the wheel. 1t struck her
vaguely that he showed no surprise,
but after a moment he got out. She
sat while he made his investiga-
tions, giancing about her. They

He glanced about him, swinging
the spanner. and added, In answer
to her dismayed' exclamation:

you'd best take shelter in that hut

to a hollow clearing below them on

"Gamekeepers use It sometimes at

Lee. pausing on the threshold,
glanced about her. A hurricane
lamp hung from a nail on the wall,
there were a few glowing embers
In q rough hearth, and the faint
odOr of tobacco smoke hung about.
Haines crossed TO the fire, poked
1t, glanced about him and shifted.
One Of the keepers here tonight,
sure" he told her easily. He'll
probably be back in a few minutes.
I'll get back quick as can"
He passed out and closed the dOOs'
behind him. Lee heard him crash
ing his way through the bracken,
then silence fell again. For several
minutes she stood looking about
her, with but faint curiosity. Her
thoughts were far away, her mind
wholly occupied with the unexpect-
ed conversation with Haines-with
Terry, and with the man who was
still a guest beneath her roof.
At thought of him she shuddered.
Then, moving nearer the fire, she
slipped her furs from her shoulder,
and throwing them over the back of
the wooden chair sat down.
She did not hear a sound behind
her. did not know that she was not
alone, until hand touched her arm,
a voice spoke her name, very low,
but with q familiar intonation, a
vibrant, quivering eagerness that
brought her leaping to her feet,
trembling all over.
"Lee!"
With the light Of. the hurricane
lamp shining down full upon him,
Denham Carson stood above her.
And, even as she cried out, hts arms
went about her. Into his eyes there
leaped a sudden, fierce, hot passion.
Helpless, she found herself caught
and held close-so close that she
could feel the thick beating of his
heart. Then his lips found hers.

passed out. but Terry ran onto the

Roland Gish had caught Terry as
she stumbled. He kept his hand

down at her reassuringly. For one

he started the car with Q jerk so
violent that II flung Lee forward.
He raced the machine down the
drive and out OF the gates. In the

The bill of Senator Stockstill te

The bill of Senator Stockstill to
prohibit the sale of proprietary msdi-
cineS by anyone except a registered
pharmacist except merchants located
more than five miles from the COR
porate limits of city or incorporated
town. The bill on its face seems to be
directed at preparations containing al
cohol. But why five miles? If it is
wrong to sell proprietary medicines
it is wrong to sell them anywhere,
even a drug store. If it is right to
sell them they should be sold in any
store that chooses to handle them.
Many of these proprietary medicines
are to be found on the closet shelf of
homes all over the land; there should
not be any hindrance placed in the
way of people securing them by fool
iaws.-West Point Leader. If the
above mentioned bill becomes law
there will be very strong protest
registered principally by people in the
rural districts. The passage of dog
law would not arouse half the ire
that would making it more diff
cult for the people in the interior to
procure their favorite remedies. On
the shelf of nearly every country
home stands bottle of some favorite
medicine for use in an emergency,
such as Black Draught, Tanlac, Cham
berlain's Arnica Salve, Alexander's
Ma-Tic and others. Such law as
the Stockstill measure is unfair and
distinct discrimination against the
good people who live in the country
districts.-Tupelo Review. And we
might add that such law is an in

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 81. Thi!
statement is issued by G. L. Donald
Collector of Internal Revenue, Dis
trict of Mississippi.
Taxpayers have 16 days, moot in
cluding Sundays, in which to file
their income tax returns for the cal
endar year 1921. To avoid penalty
the return, accompanied by at leas
one quarter of the tax, must be in the
hands of the collector of interna
revenue or a deputy collector on OF
before midnight of March Is.
Returns may be mailed or filed ir
person at the office Of the collector
jackson, Miss. Payment may be made
by check, money or in cash. If made
to deputy collector, payment shoulc
be by money order or check, to avoic
danger of loss in transmission to the
office of the collector.
Where in exceptional eases such as
illness or absence, taxpayer is un-
able to make return within the time
prescribed, an extension of not to ex.
ceed thirty days may be obtained up
on application to the collector. Such
extensions will be granted only when
in the judgment of the collector
further time is actually required fol
the making Of an accurate return
Application.
The absence or illness of one OF
more officers of a corporation will not
be accepted as reasonable cause for
failure to file the return within the
prescribed time, unless it is satisfac-
torily shown that there were no other
principal officers available and suffi-
GENTLY informed as to the affairs OF
the corporation, to make and verify
the rteurn.
As a condition of granting an ex-
tension of time for filing a return,
the collector may require the submis-
sion of a tentative return. Tentative
returns will not be accepted unless
permission is obtained previous to
filing. A copy of the authority for
filing the tentative return must be at
tached thereto when filed. Where a
taxpayer files tentative return and
fails to file complete return within
the period of the extension requested
by him, the complete return when
filed is subject to penalties prescribed
for delinquency.
If before the end of thirty day
extension granted by the collector, an
accurate return cannot be made, an
appeal for further extension must
be made to the Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue, Washington, U. e.,
with a full recital for the causes Tor
the delay. The commissioner will not
grant an additional extension without
a clear showing that a, complete re-
turn cannot be made at Me end Of the
thirty-day period. For failure to file
return on time, the taxpayer becomes
liable to penalty of not more than
ST 900 and a further penalty of 20
per cent of the amount OF tax que,
nnless he later files return and it is
satisfactorily shown that the delin-
ouency was due to reasonable cause
and not to wilful neglect.
G. L. DONALD, Collector
