during his slow progression IRON
Wellington Street to the Savoy Hotel
he smoked cigarets almost continu-
ousiy.
This commercial optimist was still
haunting the courtyard of the hotel
at a time when a very handsome
limousine pulled up beside the curb
and a sprucely attlred Hindu stepped
out. One who had been in the apart
ments of Ormuz Khan must have
recognized his excellency's private
secretary. Turning to the chauffeur,
a half-caste of some kind, and ig-
noring the presence of the prophet
who had generously opened the door,
You will return at eight o'clock"
he said, speaking perfect and cul-
tured English, ito take his excellency
to High Claybury."
Yes, sir" replied the chauffeur,
and he touched his cap as the Hin
du walked into the hotel.
The salesman reclosed the door of
the car. and spat reflectively upon
the pavement.
Limping YEARLY, he worked his
way along in the direction of Chan
Gerry Lane. But, before reaching
Chancery Lane, he plunged into a
maze of courts with which he was
evidently well acquainted. His book
selling enterprise presently termin-
ated, as it had commenced, at The
Chancery Agency.
Once more safe in his dressing
room, the peddler rapidly trans
formed himself into Paul Harley,
and Paul Harley. laying his watch
upon the table before him, lighted
his pipe and INDUCED in half an
hours close thinking.
And presently, laying his pipe
aside, he took up a telephone which
stood upon the dressing table and
rang up a garage with which he
had an account.
Hello, is that you, Mason?" he
said. Have the racer to meet me
at seven o'clock, halfway along Pail
Mall"
Never for a moment did he relax
his vigilance. Observing every pre-
caution when he left The Chancery
Agency, he spent the intervening
time at one of his clubs, from which,
having made an early dinner, he set
off for Pail Mall at ten minutes to
seven. A rakish-looking gray a re-

the road, and following a brief con-
versation Harley set out westward.

south with which he was only slight

He was in gunshot of Old Claybury

i aurer Tract Devel0bment

With the Maurer tract in the northwestern part of the city that
as recently purchased by real estate men, about ready to be put
a the market it is important that the interests of the city are
loked after. As a matter of fact, no trace of land of any size
aould be developed in the city without the City Plan Commission
aving something to say as to its layout. 1t is particularly I'M
ortant in the northwestern part of the city because OF the pro-
bridge approach and the Cleveland avenue extension.

Up in the Yukon, under the northern lights, theres
rodent known as the trade rat, which certainly must hay1f
a sense Of humor. n
The trade rat is a notorious thief. 1t burrows and gnaYF
its way into a trail cabin, then carries outdoors and hid es
everything it can handle with its jaws. A minor or prosper
tor, returning home, is apt to find his cabin has been visltfaa
by trade rats and stripped of knives, forks, spoons, lgpt
cooking utensils and other odds and ends.
There are other thieves in the animal kingdom. But
where the trade rat shines, where it gets its name, is its
custom of always leaving~something in trade for each article
it steals. 1t 'pays'' with pebbles, twigs, leaves and feathers,
piled in a neat heap on the floor.
This custom of the trade rat reminds us of %profteers, poll
ticians and the widespread notion of "a good business DEAL
taking a lot and giving little in return.

CONGRESSMEN
STUDY TAXES
WITH CAUTION DUE TO
BONUS DEMANDS
MELLON PLAN FAVORED
ENTIRE PROGRAM OF TAX REvl.
SION BY CONGRESS AWAITS
COOLIDGE MESSAGE

Congressional leaders,
irrespective of party, are proceeding
with caution in their consideration of
tax revision and the related question
of soldier bonus. Among the many
conflicting opinions, only one stands
out-that precipitate action on either
proposal is to be avoided.
In the opinion of practically all of
the leaders, Republican, Democratic
and Republican-Pr Progressive, Secretary
Melons announcement that the ma
tional tax bill can be reduced by ap-
proximately S323, 100000, has stirred
such a general demand for tax reduc-
ton that Congress will be obliged to
enact some sort of a revenue revision
measure. But a tax cut at the expense
of the soldiers bonus is certain to
meet with determined opposition in
both houses.
Suggestions already are being put
forward that neither of the two pieces
of legislation need be sacrificed at the
expense of the other. Pointing out
that the bonus bill vetoed by President
Harding called for an expenditure of
only SS0,000,O0O the first year. propon-
ents of bonus argue that it is posi-
BILE to enact that measure and at the
some time make a very substantial CT
in the tax burden.
Before committing themselves def
nitely on either subject, most leaders
at the capitol await two events-a def
mite determination of how the Senate
and House are going to line up on the
organization votes and the delivery of
the first annual message of President
Coolidge. These two things of neces-
sity must be important factors in the
final legislative plans, certainly so far
as the Republican organization is con-
cerned.
There is an impression at the cap
itol that the President will devote Il
considerable portion of his message
to tax reduction and his recommenda-
tions are expected to follow in gen.
eral the plan recently outlined by
Secretary Mellon. The executives po-
sition with respect to the bonus re
mains n subject of speculation. Some
White House callers have gained the
impression that his attitude is not nn-
like that of President Harding, but
even they are uncertain whether he
will present any recommendations as
to soldiers compensation.
The chief concern of administra-
ton leaders with regard to tax leg
islation is as to what sort of bill
could be put through Congress. Most
of them are inclined to favor the Mel
Ion program, but they are not at all
certain that it can be translated into
legislation. The progressives among
the Republicans in both the House
and Senate are planning definite pro-
grams of their own and the Democrats
are known to favor some revision
plans which are not included in the
Mellon proposal.
While they are in favor of tax re-
duction, several of the new senators
from the West have gone on record
against any plan that will eliminate
the soldiers bonus. Senator Ship
stead, Earmer-Labor, Minnesota, de-
clared against taX-reduction If 1t
means the death of the bonus, while
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
said he was for the bonus above
everything else.

monumental dignity at the top of the
stairs. When Amy alighted from the
flivver Greg, had he not known il
must be she. must have looked twice
before recognizing her. In her CONT
cal tight little jacket and elaborate
cheap hat she was the belle of the
service entrance to the life. Amy, 1t
appeared. was an incorrigible CO.
medienne: though there was no need
for her to play her part just then.
she could not help bridling, ogling
and flirting her skirts like the co.
quette of below stairs. Greg chuckled
and Hickey roared.
But by the time she reached the
head of the stairs she had sobered
down. From Bessie's imposing port
she gathered. no doubt. that the land
lady was not person to be trified
with Her abrupt transition to de-
mureness caused Greg fresh chuckle
When she removed the absurd hat
and jacket she put off the parlor ma ID
for good. In her simple dress she
was her own exquisite little self.
surer OF herself than Bessie was. be-
came a little uneasy, and it was
Amys turn then to put Bessie at her
ease. AS for Greg he could not look
at her enough. 1t was the first time
he had seen her glorious hair un-
covered. 1t was the color of bright
copper. of a certain glowing variety
OF chrysanthemum. of a horse chest
nut fresh out of it's burr. 1t was the
sort of hair. full of light. that does
itself: any old twist creates the effect
of a coiffure.
Greg gazed in a sort of delighted
despair. He thought: "She is ever so
much more charming than / supposed.
She's A new woman every five min
utes: a dozen women in one! What
man could ever hope to tie her down.
She would always elude him like a
pixie. She's too charming: a man
would have no chance against her.
God help the man that she enslaves;
she'll keep him jumping through
hoops"
Meanwhile Bessie and Amy were
doing the polite.
It's an honor, to welcome YOU to
my poor home, Miss de Soak-oater,"
said the former grandly.
Miss Wilmot," corrected Amy.
Bessie looked surprised. But Mr..
Parr said"
II know. that's part of my story
I'll tell you directly. What charm
ing room you have, Mrs. Bickle. SO
Cozy and characteristics"
After that Bessie was hers We'll.
I aim to keep one nice ROOM" she
said complacently, though / live in a
street where niceness is hardly looked
for"
What must you think OF me ap-
pearing from nowhere?" said Amy.
'Mr. Parr has told me about you.
1t is a strange story"
But he knows only a little of It.
I have come to tell you the whole"
Wait a minute" interrupted Greg
THE fellows are down stairs. They
sacrificed half their earnings tonight
on the chance of seeing you. Do you
mind IL l bring them up for a mo-
ment?"
by all means bring them up" said
Amy
When Greg went to call them Bes-
sic with an apology disappeared for
a moment. returning with a strip of
linoleum which she put down near
the door.
