never liked the idea of other States
imposing levy on shares Of stock
owned by its residents. AS a matter
of fact, the New York Tax Commis-
sion fled a brief in support of the
taxpayers position.
Millions in Taxes Involved.
To some of the non-reciprocal States,
however. the opinion will be blow.
The amount which they received from
the tax amounted to millions that will
now have to be replaced by some other
source of revenue. Minnesota and
Kansas are the two States most af-
fected, although Montana, which is the
home of the Anaconda Copper Co., also
stands to lose a large sum.
While the State of Maine is one of
the parties in the case, its interest was
not nearly as great as some of the
other jurisdictions. The reasons for
this is that since the suit was started,
Maine has joined the reciprocal group.

In that little moment she

But when she heard the sharp

The sharpness of her voice
surprised her. There was no
coquetry in it, no coaxing fear,
just sharp anger and disgust.
She hadn't meant. yes, she
had.
For a long moment the boy
hesitated, motionless, his arms
still pinioned about her, his
rough chin in the soft flesh Of
her shoulder. Then his hands
dropped. He drew over to his
side of the car.
Another long minute.

It was Val who was frozen
now. Frozen with horror at
what she had done. sick with
the certainty that If she hadn't

something, touched him..
But she couldn't. She couldn't
do anything.
When they had driven for
half an hour and were once
more on the boulevard with
cars whizzing past in both di-

houses, people, she found her
tongue. But even then she

CHAPTER FIFTY.SEYEN

placed a good deal of con-
fidence, however, in some flares
with which our party happened
to be equipped. A few days
before this, I had located a
young leopard few miles north
of our temporary headquarters
and we had made some night
pictures of the young spotted
cat, using flares to light up the
vicinity in which we had treed
him. We had transported a
good supply of these brilliant
torches with us from America
and had taken a box of twenty
five from our base at Singapore
up to the Johore camp. Five
of the flares had remained un-
used after making our leopard
shots. These are what are
known as two-minute flares
meaning that when you light
one it burns steadily for that
length of time. The ingredients
are a highly powerful chemical
mixture which when lighted by
a fuse throws out a brilliant
light to a radius of sixty or
seventy feet, at the same time
radiating a great amount of
heat. AS a matter of fact,
these light-makers generate so
much heat that if you bring
one Of them in contact with a
piece of armor plate 1t will
burn right into the hard metal.
