Effect on Living Cost.

While the tax burden is not distrib-
uted upon per capita basis, the fact
that 500 year goes to government
for every person in the United States
means that it enters into the cost of
living in some form or another for
the rich and poor alike. The present
high cost of living is attributable in
no small degree to the high cost of
government.
The analysis of costs of government
have been completed for Wisconsin,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Minnesota,
Michigan, Kentucky and Illinois, and
the statisticians are at work on Others
Here are the per capita costs of
state government:
Wisconsin, $12.92 in 1922, S6.41 in
1915; Rhode Island, $11.S4 in 1922,
$6.12 in 1914; New Jersey, 1851 in
1922. $6.5S in 1915; Minnesota, S17.O6
in 1922, as against $7.54 in 1915;
Michigan, $24.07 in 1922, $3.50 in 1914;
Kentucky, STA in 1922, $3.50 in 1914.
Illinois, $7.S3 in 1922, $3.16 in 1915.
The cost Of government in the cities
shows even greater increases than
those of the general state govern
mentS.
New$York, Providence, Jersey City
and San Francisco all run we'll over
500 per capita as the cost of govern
ment without even the cost Of state
government being figured In.

CHAPTER XVI. Passing of Old TronsideS

The day of Jose's funeral dawned rose in a hundred places from the resert roads, as the widely scattered people from the Little Washoe coun- try and the vaMys north of the Humboldt gathered to do honor to their murdered leader.
 Quite in contrast with them was the tall thin man hunched over the wheel of an outlandish contraption thathe called an automobile. But the alleged automobile. for all it's lack of paint and it's unconcealed vitals, was like it's owner. thoroughly effi- cient. The man was Brand, coming all the way from Winnemucca.
 Acklin was proving, at that mo- ment, his keen interest in loses pass ing. He was in his office and Nor row and Kildare were with him. The latter's face wore sullen look.
 Acklin was saying: People in general don't know you, Kildare. That's why want you to go. You can drop in at the church or mix in with the crowd at the cemetery"
 Blaze nodded his head little and pulled his hat lower over his eyes. He had been carefully scrutinizing a rifle that stood behind Acklin's desk. He reached over and picked it up and abroke it open Ii was an omost new automatic He threw a shell out of the chamber.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Acklin came down and went to his office.
 Through the open window Mercedes called to Melody and Blaze.
 "Will you tell the Senor," she said, that l am going to take my brother with me now?"
 Melody was back in a minute
 'The Big Boss says he can't be taken out" he reported in crest fallen manner.
 Estebans eyes flashed, Some of Mercedes old fire came back to her.
 What has he to do with it?" she demanded. "I take him when I want to- I will tell him so'"
 She found Acklin in his office.
 A hard look came into the eyes of the feudal lord: You can't take him! Don't you know that if I turned him over to the sheriff, he would go to the pen for last nights work?"
 T am not afraid!" Her voice was defiant. If my brother go to jail, you go, too Not to jail, Senor; to the hangman"
 What are you getting at?" AckIin cried
 You know very well what I am getting at, you beast! My father was killed last night; shot dead; while he was riding here!"
 q Acklins face blanched.
 T had nothing to do with it. do you hear?" His voice rose with a nasty threat T don't shoot from ambush"
 The sound of their loud talking had reached Melody, who had come downstairs on an alleged errand. Mercedes saw him "Senor Acklin has changed his mind" she stated. twill you get my brother ready"
 Melody looked at the Big Boss for confirmation of this order. He nod ded his head ands turning to his own quarters, slammed the door behind him.
 Blaze was sitting on the edge of Es- teban's bed when Melody and Mer- cedes returned.
 Melodys smile had taken its &C., customed place. Blaze was quick to notice the change in him.
 "Tlfe kids goin' home all right, ," the sorrel-topped one informed him.
 Esteban. forgetting his nurses or ders sat up in bed
 Maybe you could dress him" Melody went on to Blaze. I'll go down and see about rig then" So while Mercedes went to the win dow, Blaze got her brother ready for the trip home.
 II ought to ask your forgivness," Esteban said sincerely.
 "You?" Mercedes caught hint of mystery in her brothers voice She looked at Blaze. He got to his feet,
 Better forget it." he mumbled. Don't amount to anything"
 Blaze stuck his head out of the window trying to locate Melody, as Esteban told his sister what had hap pened at the Chimney.
 You tried to kill him. He did not shoot back? Aladre de Dios.' she cried. And l called him spy!' Blaze came toward her quickly as he heard her little gasp.
 That's all right, little girl. You folks don't owe me anything. You were pretty excited when l met you this morning-your father and
 "Father?" Esteban's face went white. Blaze could have cut off his tongue for his slip.
 What's that about father"' the boy demanded again. Has he been hurt-killed ?" Did somebody get him?" His voice rose to scream as hetried to get to his feet.
 With d cry. Mercedes head dropped to the edge of the bed. In spite of Kildare's pleading she broke down and wept bitterly A shadow crossed

Ridres of Gloves Old Idea

The three raised ridges on the back of kid or leather glove have a rea- son. In olden days the back of the glove was made of four long strips sewn together side by side about half way along so that the four unsewed strips made the backs of the fingers. These four pieces necessitated three joints and to cover up the rather clumsy stitching, embroidery was laid along them with rows of stitches. AL though gloves are now made without the joins, the ridges or embroidery still remains as a relic of early days.
