TELL THIS
AT DINNER

The misunderstanding tramp
was sitting with his back to the
hedge, eating. some broken food
out Of a piece Of newspaper.
Presently a woman, out for a
stroll with her pet dog, came
along. The little animal soon
scented the food, and immedi-
ately ran up to the tramp and
tried to take something out of the
paper. The tramp's grimy face
Immediately became suffused with
a smile, which the lady put down
in her own mind as rather nice
in that sort of a person"
shall I throw the little dog a
bit?" asked the tramp, as her pet
still shifted at the food.
The woman was much gratified
with this appearance of kindly
interest and gave her assent.
The tramp seized the dog by the
scruff OF its neck and tossed it
over the hedge, remarking:
And II he comes back, ma'am,
I might throw him a bit more!'
An insurance agent was pitched
out of an establishment when on

He picked himself up, tried
again. and was straightaway flung
down the stairs by the client" he
had sought to interview.
His spirit. however. was not
broken, though his silk hat had
suffered. He brushed it on his
sleeve and dashed up the stairs
again.
Look here, SIR he said, "tok.

; tell you this, but he dropped in
today to say goodbye. He's off
for England on a trip. His boat
sails with the tide in the morning.
1t was a hurry call from his agent
in London. Tom said he hadn't
time to see all of u.s."
Jim's eyes met mine. knew he
was sharing my wonder at Toms
sudden departure. But I don't
think even Jim knew the spasm
of fear which tugged at my heart.
For there was a cruel chance that
Tom Mason's going to England
might undo all Carl Booth had
tried to accomplish when he took
Daisy away from her temptation
and from Tom. I thought Of
Irma Warren who had run away
to her sister. Her going might
have thrown Tom back on his
weak infatuation for Daisy.
But there was no use befud-
ding my brain with speculations
about other folks and their lives.
Our own problem was too i'm
minent. I set my shoulders back
with q stern swing and spoke con-
fidently to Pat.
you mustn't sell the Paradise
property at a loss. Neal may
come back any minute with the
money. It would be too ironical
If he came just too late. For he
will come-if he's on earth"
Eyes, Alanna," said Pat, gently.
Jim's arm frightened about me
in a surge Of pity. But I had need
OF my own courage-not their
sympathy now. And I cried out.
But while Neale's gone-his
sister must stand by. I-can't
fail. I'll go to Loren Haldane in
the morning. We've all day to.
morrow. Give me my chance
for Meals sake!
"Ill give you till noon, Alanna, I"
said Pat. kindly. Then, If you've
failed. I'll have to sell the Para
= disc lot" -,..~--
It was early in the morning
when I walked into the office of
Haldane's Magazine. In spite Of
my grief and worry. I had a feel
ing Of boyancy. I was sure I
cold count on Loren Haldane's
friendship. And I was proud in
the expectancy of getting the
100000 to take up the option
Neal had thrown way-and of get
ting it from the very man for
whom I had been working when I
married into the Harrison family.
In her great moment of bitter
ness, when Phoebe and Neal
eloped, Virginia had turned on
me with cry that all this had
come from my marrying her
brother. I knew she was think
ing the same thing now. Still,
however much she hurt me,
couldn't quite blame her. Phoebe's
death and the threatened credit
Of the Dalton-Sturges Company
had each its connection with my
poor Neal. And this time there
was a grim finality in Virginia's
grief. Because there was so
much with which Virginia's
naughty soul could reproach Neal,
l felt couldn't fail now. The
fact that she accused him un-
justly made it all the more i'm
perative for me to act.

<<- ET'S send the girls to
bed and think this out"
- suggested Jim.
"I'm tired; I'm glad to get some
sleep. I want to start out for
Dreamwold and little Phoebe to-
morrow" replied Virginia.
I dared not protest that Neal
wanted the baby called Carol"
his wishes would have small
weight with Virginia now. And
there was indeed a more imme-
date problem to be met. So took
Virginia to her room and made
sure that the fruit and ice water
were there and the covers Of the
bed turned back. Then with the
briefest Of good-nights I returned
to the living room. I had no
thought of eavesdropping, but I
couldn't. help overhearing Jim say
ing to Pat:
This is a fine mess we've got
you into. If Anne realized the
seriousness Of the situation. she'd
sell out her business to pay you
off.$
BE glad, then, she doesn't real
ize," said Pat
Hard on bis words, I walked
into the room. But in the inter-
val had known a moment of he
roles in which felt that I ought to
offer to sell out IL that would
bring Pat the money he needed.
Then recognized that "a. Z. Har-
fison, Advertising Consultant,"
could make far more money In
business than she could get for
the good will Of her little firm. So
! resolved to move slowly and to
decide carefully before I did any,
thing radical.
'T do realize how serious this
situation is" I said quietly. at
came back to say that we might
get the cash we need from Tom
Mason or Mr.. Haldane. I'll be glad
TO go to either Of them"
''Will you do that?" asked Pat
eagerly. ''If they can't accommo-
date US can sell the old Paradise
property. I paid seventy thousand
for it and have been holding it
waiting for the city to move back
that way again. Some day it
ought to be worth a hundred
thousand at a minimum. Today
I'm afraid it isn't up to what I
paid. Still I could get all we
need"-
"Oh, don't" I cried. I'm sure
Tom would let US have the sixty
thousand on a part-and know
Mr.. HaIdane can be counted on"
Pat Is Confident.
Say. I'll be after calling Tom

ball game at Milford. The young
men were riding in a Ford sedan and
when just outside of Georgetown,
they saw a man step into the road
which caused them to slow down. As
they did so three other men appear
ed. Two shots were fired at the ma
chine, one bullet entering the front of
the car near the driver, and had il
not struck a part of the steering gear

the head. Another bullet went thru
the back of the car dangerously close
to the head of Beauchamp. The high
waymen advanced toward the car and

The Court House at Easton, Md,
Thursday, was packed with citizens of
Royal Oak and vicinity who have
brought suit in the Circuit Court to
prevent the State Road Commission
from building the proposed State road
from Easton to claiborne on the route
laid down across Oak Creek to Kirk
ham, instead of over the old Bayside
road through Royal Oak, used for
more than a century. The case was
heard before Judges Adkins and
Wicks. The Royal Oak people claim
that the building of the road across
Oak Creek will be a hardship to tax
payers of Talbot county and depreci-
ate the value of property. The Roads
Commission claims that the new route
was laid down to avoid two grade
crossings over the B., c. & A. Rail
way; that it is a rural road and is
being built with the aid of Federal
money. The State pays one-half, the
county one-quarter and the Federal
Government one-quarter for its con.
struction cost.

INCOME TAX SCHOOL SUPPORT
Mr.. MediIl Tells State Bankers LanC
and Investment Taxation is Unwise

Mr.. MediIl Tells State Bankers Land
and Investment Taxation is Unwise
If more money is necessary for
school purposes, the easiest and most
certain way to raise it will be through
an increase in the State Income Tax,
is the opinion of George l.. Medill,
State Bank Commissioner. Mr.. Me
dill addressed the semi-annual meet
ing of the Delaware State Bankers
Association in the Hotel dupont
Thursday afternoon. He opposed a
State land tax or a tax on investments
or mortgages because he believes they
will tend to keep away outside invest
Ors, retard prosperity, and make it
difficult for home buyers to secure
mortgages. In addition to Mr.. Me
dill's address, the Bankers ASsOcia-
tion considered a number of commit
tee reports; refused to formally in
dOrSe the sO-called "bad check" bill
now before the General Assembly and
heard addresses by several out of
town financiers. Following the morn
ing session, the bankers were enter
tanned at luncheon by the Wilmington
Clearing House Association in the
hotel grill. Otho Nowland, president
of the Clearing House, presided, and
welcomed the visiting bankers. Work
of the Bankers Association then was
resumed. Mr.. Medill emphasized the
increased interest of the public in tax
alton and gave his idea as the form
such taxation should take. He brought
out that real estate pays no tax fol
state purposes, only for county anC
local purposes. The school tax, while
it goes to State, he added, is turneC
back to local communities.
"The suggested school building pro
gram," continued Mr.. Medill, 81.
based on the principle that the Stat,
should provide all of the funds fo
school purposes. In my judgment th'
State should bear only a portion o
the expenses of the schools" The to
tai income of the State in 1886 wa
S121 ,190. The expenditures were $120,
028. The Departments of Banking
and Insurance today collect more thai
both these sums together, Mr.. Medil
showed. The total income for 1922 o
the State was $4,052,67O. 1t is esti
mated this will increase at a rate O
100000 a year without any increas
in taxation. Expenditures for 1872
were $4,286,472, leaving a deficit 0
about $233,0O0. The total bonded in
debtedness of the State on Jan. II
1928, was $5,551,285. Of that amour
about $5,000,000 was due for roads.

Lights On Teams At Night
The Senate bill requiring horse,
mule or oxen drawn vehicles on the
public highways at night to display a
white light, was reported favOrably in
the House, with a substitute which
makes it lawful to display any kind
of a light. The substitute also pro-
vides that a man caught on the road
after dark inadvertently without a
light, shall not be presented under
this law. 1t further provides that a
man involved in an accident which he
could not avoid shall be able to re-
cover, even though he does not share a
light on his team. The original bill
would have made it impossible to re-
cover when in an accident and his
team was without light.
