 What about Rustum and Coles?"
 Real crusted family lawyers. No good trying to get anything out of them. Might as well try to get blood out of a brass bedstead knob. But the thing is obvious"
 Still Mir. Raymond kept his ex- citement from appearing on the surface. This was wonderful. AL ready he knew this girl.
 Have you found the girl?" he asked
 "Yes. I've had one of my best men at work. She now is installed in a suite at the Majestic, living, I understand, at the rate of at least 5000 a year, which is exactly what her money would produce at five per cent. I ask you-do you think I know what I'm talking about?"
 I'm beginning to think you do, Arnold" returned MT. R ym o n d smoothly Well, I suppose you've got a scheme in your wicked old head. Where do come in with it, if it's not a rude question:"
 You're hard up, my boy. l can see it. Here's a chance for you to put yourself on easy street. What do you say to marrying a good- looking girl with some 33,0O0 pounds in her bank account?"
 Marriage is a serious business, Arnold. Besides I may not appeal to the young person."
 Stuff Don't put on your nodes ty cap with me. know you. You're an expert at that sort of thing. This Jacqueline Grey is little, starved shop girl. Her ex- perience of men is limited to the sort that serve behind counters.

When she sees a real bred-in-the- bone aristocrat like you, she'll fall for you right off the first tee.
 All you've got to do is to get yourself introduced to her" con- tinued the lawyer. You will call yourself Arthur Carew, and you be- long to the Courtland Carews of Chicago. Get to know her and the rest will do itself"
 T thought you said the young lady's fortune was a hundred thousand? Are you proposing in cold blood to make three-way split of this poor girls money?"
 MT. Dunn made no reply to this, except to say in a casual tort of way:
 "Youll have the handling of the money if you marry her, won't you? And if I put you on to it, don't I deserve some sort of recog- nition?"
 Who is the party of the third part, if it's not a rude question:"
 Paula Stratton," returned Dunn. She's on the scent already. She's at the hotel, and has already be- come the girls chief friend. Her name for the moment is Mrs. Por- ter Mason. She reports that the girl is pleasant little thing, but not so simple as she looks. So you will have to keep your eyes skinned. Paula is taking her to Circo's night club tomorrow, and that will be your chance to get an introduction"
 But marriage is a serious thing, returned Raymond.
 You've said that before. So is 100000 pounds a serious thing. Ii she's willing I've no doubt at al you will be able to overcome youi scruples and your hesitation. The first. thing for you to do is to gel Introduced to this Jacqueline Grey land make her fall in love with you Do you think you can do it?" MT. Raymond smiled in a rather Ipitying way at the cadaverous fact Iof the lawyer. "The only thing Tn afraid of" he murmured, lis thaf it will be too easy"

 been that on the following da! EJacqueline met Teddy Montrose.

PERNAMBUCO. Brazil, May 23.- Flying over the Equator for the first time, the Graf Zeppelin made a bow to the Southern Hemisphere after 59 hours and 53 minutes, fly- ing 3,750 miles.
 The Graf tied up to the mooring mast at 8:05 o'clock last night. or 3:05 pm, Pacific Coast time.
 Northern Brazil is delirious with excitement.
 The Graf takes on water. fuel. gas and a new larder of provisions here and will then head for Rio de Janeiro late this afternoon.
 Her arrival here was hailed with blasts of sirens and whistles from the factories and ships.
 A test of the big airship was made on the trip, coming early yesterday morning when the Graf ran into areas of equatorial deluge.
 Tons of water fell on the big bag, but no ballast was dropped. The ship sailed at three quarters of degree angle to offset the water but the speed was little affected.

TAXING PROPERTY.
 ON INCOME VALUE
 HASFARM BACKING
By FRANK I. WELLER GA. P. Farm Edit0r)
4 ssoc,nted Press Photo

WASHINGTON, D O., May 23.- Supported by farm leaders for the last decade, plan to tax real es- tate on it's production value rather than it's sale value is to be pre- sented to the governors of AS states meeting in Chicago June 25.
 The conference was called by the national taxation committed of the American farm bureau federation Federal officials and tax special ists have been invited
 The plan to be considered would upset a large part of the American system of taxation. Whereas taxes heretofore have been assessed on the capital va4ue of property. fl proposes to make the assessment against the average net produc- ton value.
 Under the present system prop erty that is held at loss pays pro- portionate taxes with that which returns a profit.
 Efforts to obtain legislation per- hitting the creation of a taxation system based on ability to pay are under way in Michigan. Mis- souri, Illinois. Iowa, Colorado and few other states. In most cases amendment of the state constitu- tion is required, which is cum bersome and tedious task requiring the support of public sentiment.
 The conference is expected from the federal government a rule per- mitting the deduction of state in- come levies from federal income taxes, as is done in the case of in- heritance taxes.
 The proposal simply is that where as an individual now is paying both a state and federal income tax, the amount of the state tax would be deducted from the amount of the federal tax. The result would be a continuation of state revenue from income taxes but a decided reduction in federal reserve
 Behind the plan is the thought that it eventually would make 1t possible to shift from the general property tax to the income tax as the chief means of support for state and local governments.
 If the inheritance tax provision is made to apply to income taxes, 1t is believed that state govern ments will adopt the income tax more generally, because they then will have no fear that industries will move into adjoining states where no income tax is levied. It is provided that where no income tax is paid to the state it's equiva- lent shall be paid into the federal treasury.
