CHAPTER Xii
LANDING Of the Paul Revere.

Landing of the Paul Revere.
The Paul Revere tied up at the
landing shortly after two o'clock. The
usual crowd Of onlookers thronged the
bank, attention being temporarily di
verted from an important game OF
"horseshoes" that was taking place In
the sugar grove below Trentman's
shanty.
Pitching horseshoes was the daily
fair-weather pastime of the male pop
ulation Of the town. At one time or
another during the course Of the day
practically every man In the place
came down to the grove to shy horse
shoes at the stationary but amazingly
elusive pegs. 1t was not an uncom-
mon thing for merchant to close his
place Of business for an hour or so In
order to teep an engagement to pitch
horseshoea with some time-honored
adversary.
There were a score of passengers on
board the Paul Revere, among them
Barry Lapelle. He kept well In the
rear of the motley throng of voyagers,
an elegant, lerdly figure, approached
only in sartorial distinction by the far
famed gambler, Sylvester Hornaday,
who likewise held himself sardonically
aloof from the common horde, occupy
ing position well forward, where, 1t
might aptly be said, he could count his
sheep as they struggled ashore.
From Rfar Barry had recognized
Viola standing among the people at
the top of the bank, and his eager,
hungry gaze had not left her. She,
too, had caught sight Of him long be-
fore the boat was near the landing.
She waved her kerchies.
He lifted his hat and blew kiss to
her. A thrill Of exultation ran through
him. He bad not expected her to
meet him at the landing. Her mere
presence there was evidence Of a de-
termination TO defy not only her moth
er but also to brave the storm Of gos-
sip that was bound to attend this pub
lie demonstration of loyalty on her
part, for none knew SO well as he how
the townspeOple looked upon their at
tachment. A most satisfying promise
for the future, he glo&ted; here was
the proof that she loved him, that her
tantalizing outbursts of temper were
not to be taken seriously, that his
power oyer her was irresistible. There

were times when he felt une0mfOrta-
bly, dubious as to his hold upon her
affections. She was whimsical. per-
verse, maddening in her sudden tran
Sitions of mood. And she had threat
ened more than once to have nothing
more to do with him unless he mended
his ways! Now he smiled triumphant

the river crowded their way ashore,
to be greeted by anxious wives. The
strangers were more leisurety 10 their
movements. They struggled ashore
with their nondescript possessions and
ambled off between two batteries oe

individuals was tall, swart, bearded
fellow with black, Shifty eyes and
scowling brow His baggage consisted
of buckskin sack slung across his
shoulder and a small bundle which he
carried under his arm. He appeared
to have no acquaintances among the
voyagers.

Wholesale Destruction Of
Trout Caused by Storm

Cumberland, Md. - Wholesale de-
structiOn Of trout In a mountain
stream near the headwaters Of the
south branch OF the Potomac, IN
PendletOn county, W. Va, is reported
by local anglers who had mOtOred to
the stream for an outing. A cloud
burst robbed them Of the pleasure an
hour before they arrived on the scene.
The clOudbUrSt made the stream a
small river Of thick mud and sediment
ia an instant, and the trout were lit
orally chOked to death. Thousands
Of trout the anglers said, lined the
bank, dead, while others, their dis
tended mouths filed with mud, were
lying on the surface Of the water.
The floods Of March and May, 1926,
fishermen say, killed all the bass in
the north branch Of the Potomac
which was rapidly being restOcked.

Condition Of the Treasury

reached any considerable figure. The
payment OF the Civil war debt was
Interrupted by the financial distress.
Of the 'nineties, and this was followed
by the financing Of the Panama canal
and later Of the World war.
Possibility of Final Debt Extinction
Secretary Mellon stated in his an
nual report for 1925 that, at the rate
Of reduction which has been thus far
maintained, that portion W Che debt
not incurred for the suppose Of max
ing loans to the Allies would be COM
pletely paid off by 1914. If the pay
ments received from foreign govern
ments should be allowed to cover the
remainder, the debt would be finally
wiped out 81 years after the last IN

came effective.
Although this is a rather distant
prospect, the possibility Of a complete
disappearance Of the public debt has
aroused considerable interest in fl
nancial circles. 1t is quite possible.
I course, that the hnal payment of
the debt may not be made to wait
upon the termination Of the 62 year
period. On the other hand, it may be
regarded as rather more than pos
sible that within 81 years political
and economic affairs will undergo
changes that no one today so much
as dreams of, and that the public
debt, along with other things. will
experience their effects. For the
present, it is sufficient to note with
satisfaction that national prosperity
and governmental economy have
made possible the retirement of a
substantial part Of the debt within g
surprisingly short time, and that
there is reasonable prospect that the
rate Of reduction viii increase rather
than diminish as time goes on.

In 1873 an ~itinerant preacher pro-

and anyone who disturbed the pillars
would be struck by lightning.
Next day a tornado raEed the build

For some time it has been appar-
ent that, despite the reduced income
tax rates, a large treasury surplus
would be available fer retirement Of
the public debt at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year, states the current is
sue of the Guaranty Survey, pub
lished by the Guaranty Trust COM
pany Of New York.
These optimistic forecasts, the Sur
vey continues, were based on the fact
that the tax receipts in March ex-
ceeded the official estimate by some
500, 900, 1000, and that the excess Of
receipts over expenditures during the
first II months Of the fiscal year
amounted to S88, 200, 1000, as against
$54.OOO,O 900 in the corresponding peri
cd last year.
The large treasury receipts from
the reduced tax rates have been men,
toned as a possible confirmation Of
the view that under certain conditions
. reduction of rates may produce act
Ual increases in tax receipts. While
the lower rates have probably result
ed in some REIMBURSEMENT by large
taxpayers whose funds were former
~ placed in tax-exempt securities, it
is likely that the increased receipts
arr mor largely due to the growing
prosperity of the country.
The rapid retirement of the debt
thus far is the more remarkable in
that it has been accomplished with
only a fraction of the financial aid
which might have been expected, and
which in the future will presumably
be derived, from payments on account
of the debts of foreign governments
to the United States. These pay
ments, whether in cash Or in United
States government obligations, arr
set aside by law for debt retirement
The virtual completion Of the work
of the Debt Funding commission witt
the settlement of the last of the large
foreign debts marks, therefore, {
turning point in the process of ex,
tinguishing the public indebtedness
If the French agreement is apprOvel
there will be available Immediately
some 5000, 100000 a year, and in sub
sequent years much larger sums, II
addition to the amount Of the sinking
fund, for this purpose.
Factors Affecting Debt Retirement
Debt retirement in the future vii
depend upon many factors which can
not now be foreseen. In general, how
ever, it may be said that reduction
should become easier as time goes on
Each reduction of the principal di
minishes the interest charges on tn
remaining sum. Moreover, the grad
ual decline in the volume of govern
ment securities outstanding tends t
rails their price, enabling the treas
ury to replace a portion CT them wit
new securities bearing a lower rat
Of interest. This method has bee
used very effectively by the treasur
