After a ten minutes walk we came
suddenly upon house, massive
stone building. half covered with Ivy.
A large veranda ran across the front,
forming at one end glass-enclosed
sun parlor. What appealed to me
most was the huge stone tower that
rose from the center of the building
to height of some thirty feet. The
house. with its well-kept lawn, stretch
ing to the woods in the distance, made
o beautiful picture.
Though we had not paused long to
admire the scene. we did not have
time to ascend the steps and ring the
bell before the butler opened the door.
Currie gave his name and we were
ushered into a great room which.

Currie nodded. and turned to look
about. II had two large windows

introduced to us.
While Currie was talking with him

He was a small. decidedly nervous

thirty pounds. with low forehead,
shifty eyes. and fabby lips that
dropped. His face twitched again and
ugain and his hands were never still.
II was not until Currie had told
him who BARLEY was. that he showed
the slightest sign of interest In either
of us, and even then his manner was
far from cordial. You could see, In
fact. that he was wondering why
BARLEY had come. and wishing him
thousand miles away.
BARLEY himself, seeing how Slyke
felt, said with a friendly laugh, ITS

He then told Slyke why we had
come to Circle Lake. The man made
no response to this. nor did he say
anything when BARLEY told him of the
governors interest In the two men now

When BARLEY had finished. he act

WOULD LEVY ON
TAX EXEMP
ISSUES
Senator Walsh Believes Con
gress Has Power Under
Constitution.
By U. S. SENATOR DAVID L.
WALSH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
na.--oIiAa-. ATas.zn Ga.-ioo

-
Cosmopolitan News Service.
The propos Constitutional
amendment, now being considered
by the Congress, providing for the
taxation of incomes from tax-ex-
empt securities, I believe is not
necessary.
1 am strongly of the opinion that
Congress should amend the present
income-tax law so as to permit the
taxing Of incomes derived from
what are now known as tax-eXempt
securities.
Could Test Law.
If the Congress amends the pres
ent income-tax law, the question of
the Constitutionality of the law
could Immediately be submitted to
the Supreme Court.
It will take a generation or more
of time to get the necessary ratifi-
cation of such an amendment by
three-fourths of the States.
In my opinion, the existing in
come tax amendment to the Con-
st1tut1On gives ample authority to
enact such legislation.
There are three reasons why we
should at once proceed to levy
taxes upon incomes from tax
exempt securities: First, because
the National Government needs the
revenue; second, because it would
assist in eliminating the evil of
the exemption of wealth from Fed
eral income taxes; third, it would
assist in placing the burdens of
Government equally upon all.
Amendment Takes Too Long.
If the present Administration does
not want to be charged with in
sincerity, it should recommend and
enact the necessary legislation to
amend the present income tax law
and put this question squarely up
to the Supreme Court. To pro-
coed to correct the evil of wealth
exemption from taxation through
investments in tax exempt securi-
ties by the adoption of a Constitu-
tional amendment is circuitous, un-
necessary and evasive.

Human Fly Killed When
He Falls Eight Stories

New York, March 5.--The human fly
fell eight stories to his death today.
Harry +. Young, known only by this
%appelation to hundreds of thousands
who have watched with bated breath
and clinched hands while he climbed
with fingers and toes up virtual fronts
of Office buildings, dared death once
too often.
While a cry Of horror went up from
a thrcng in front of the Hotel Martini
que which watched his progress up
eight stories of the building. Young's
slim, grasp on a window ledge relaxed.
He clutched desperately, but the Sc
cret OF his stunt was in keeping close
pressed to the walls he climbed.
Turning slowly over and over, the
human fiy's body plunged to the side
walk. The crowds cry drowned the
roar OF Broadway traffic. Young died
shortly after being taken to Bellevue
hospital.

POVERTY AND THE KINGDOM

Speech and thought are subject TO
pretty much the same limitations as
any other action. The place colors
the things that n says and the things
that one thinks. The things that are
said for the contemplation OF the soul
must generally be said In the environ
ment that Is conducive to contempla-
ton. That Is why Jesus when he
would say the most heart searching
things sought solitude for himself and
his hearers. When he had something
especially spiritual to say he took the
few that could grasp 1t away alone.
There is another thing in connection
that IL just as true. The things Of
the most Importance require quiet for
their grasp. One has to be in the
quiet situation so that he may nave
enough rest to think deeply about
them. Repose OF body Ia necessary
for some kinds of important thinking.
How often Jesus sat down to teach,
especially TO teach his intimate disci-
pies.
One Of the most important things
that can be told a person is what 1t is
to be rich or poor. Too many persons
think in the terms OF the material and
never get therefore a proper idea OF
what real wealth and poverty are
While IL has been said and repeated
down through the thousands OF years
Of the history Of the race still 1t needs
to be again repeated that n may be
very rich in "this worlds goods" and
vet extremely poor. And the reverse
that ore may hardly have a rag on
his back and yet be possessed OF In
estimable riches.
The first requisite for the acquire
men. OF riches Of any kind Is to be-
come conscious that one Is in poverty
Few men who think themselves ricf
will bestir themselves to acquire rica
es. But II is not true that those whs
know themselves TO be poor will al
ways best;r themselves to ACQUIRE
riches. Something will have to b.
added to their consciousness. It help
