 Goodbye. . Goodbye.
 Slowly the ship started to move.
 Marks eyes were on Sondra's face to the last moment, till the boat slipped down the river and he was lost to sight, and even then Sondra stood where she was, staring blankly after it.
 There seemed no sense in mov- ing away-where in the whole of the great empty city could she go?

 He went on disjointedly. T shall send you every penny can spare, :" He stopped again, only to break out with note of agony in his voice. Don't forget me, Sondra." !" She clung to him, weeping now. Don't go, Mark-don't leave me .. Oh, don't go!"
 He tried to laugh, lifting her face to his.
 My darling, you know must. But it won't be for a very long time somehow in spite of every thing I believe we shall soon be together again. Oh, Sondra, don't cry. I can't bear it.
 "Ald if I find I can't live with out you, Mark?" Then you must come to me"
 She tried hard to control her self.
 "Yes -. I know. |. . I shall be all right. .. It's just saying the goodbye-I meant to be brave, and now. -.
 Its not goodbye-I won't let you say that word. :"
 He took her face between his hands, and looked long into her eyes.
 Say you love me"
 T love you"
 And love you-with all that II am-and ever shall be"
 He kissed her many times, on her eyes, her hair, and her throat, and then once in a long kiss on her quivering lips.
 "Fov a little while, my sweet"
 He let her go at last, and turn ed resolutely away as someone Knocked at the door. Your taxi, sir
 Coming"
 Sondra was bathing her eyes, try ing to check her sobbing.
 Mark lit a cigarette and puffed at t fiercely.
 T suppose l mustn't kiss you at the boat"
 "Is someone coming to see you off?"
 One or two people expect. Not mother she promised she wouldn't. I expect Anderson will be here"

 We must go, my darling" Mark said very gently.

 He caught her in his arms as she turned to the door.

 She dared not answer, could not trust herself to look at him, and together they went downstairs to the waiting taxicab.

 You mustn't be so extravagant. t." You'll always love me-faith- fully, Sondra?"
 With an effort she controlled her trembling lips.

 Sondra stood on the curb while Mark paid the driver.

 They went on the boat and found Marks stateroom.
 Several men friends of Marks joined them on deck.
 Mark stood at the rail, smoking hard and talking ceaselessly.

A Time for Thought.
(Port Angeles News.)

Thinking is hard work, and nobody likes to do any more of it than he has to- But 1t IS daiiy becoming apparent that the people Of the United States are going to have to do more serious and earnest thinking in the next few years than they have had to do in a long time.
 The depression may have slowed down lot of things, but the nation as whole has been moving lrapidly-moving in a direction and toward a goal which not quite clear yet but which VIII have a profound effect national life from now on
 That is why we going to have to think. We are going to have to figure out, first, just where I've want to go, and, second, whether our present course is going to take us there. Hardest of all perhaps is the job of making ourselves realize that we are not standing still but sooner or later the logic of events will force that on us.
 The Federal Government has taken a number lof steps that may have incalculable consequences They deserve a lot of attention.
 It has advanced large sums to certain railroads; lit will advance much more to other roads in the Inear future. Where is that going to lead us? Sup pose that some railroads all of them, eventually find that they cannot repay those loans; what then? Will Uncle Sam do what any other cred itor would do-take the defauting roads over to protect his investment?
 Have we, in short, begun program that will ultimately mean the standardization of the rail- roads?
 Another unexpected development might come out of the vast loans which Uncle Sam is about to make to States and cities. Suppose that some of these loans cannot be paid, when the obligations lmature will not some radical revision of our entire governmental structure be necessary?
 By becoming gigantic lending agency our Government has embarked on an entirely new lcourse, and no living man can say what its outcome will be- Only thing is certain; in fo. some profound changes, and it beheoves us to take thought before the changes upon us, and decide lexactly what our goal is to be.

CHAPTER 8. ONE REMAINING HOUR

Sondra put on her hat, and me- chanically arranged little curl of hair over each ear beneath the rarrow brim, before she turn ed away from the mirror.
 Marks wrist watch, lying on the dressing table, together with his cigarette case and other odds and ends, showed that it was nearly ten o'clock and the boat went in an hour.
 In the little dressing room ad- joining, she could hear Mark rnov- ing about ramming forgotten arti- cles into his suitcase.
 Only one hour left-one little hour that might be all they would spend together for the rest of their lives.
 Sondra looked around the room with blank eyes.
 Yesterday morning she and Mark had been married, and this morn ing they were to part-perhaps forever
 The last "A hours seemed like a drea m the hurried arrange ments, the casual excuse to Flora about going to spend the night with some friends out of town the unromantic ceremony at City Hall-a few hours happiness and now-this.
 She looked curiously at her bare left hand from which few mo- ments ago Mark had taken the wedding ring, and kissed it, before he watched her put it safely away out of sight of an inquisitive world. Married! She was no longer Son. dra Kent-shel was Mark Merri- mans wife, a fact which twas to be kept jealously guarded until Mark came back again.
 They had both agreed upon that; it had seemed the wisest plan. It was nobody's business but their own.
 Presently-in one short hour she would go back to F'lora's pre- tentious, unfriendly house, as if nothing had happened, and mark would be rushing away on the liner
 Mark came back into the room. He Lad stopped whistling, and there was a hard, strained look about his face.
 I've told them to send for a taxi,' he said; he avoided looking at Sondra.
 After moment he went on.
 "Tlle time will soon pass. It's amazing how quickly the time passes. shall write every mall Where the devil is my piper"
 "On the mantlepiece, Sondra said
 "Oh, yes" he took it up, and thrust it into a packet pocket, giving a last look round the room. His eyes came back to his wife,
 "I suppose we ought 10 go.
 "Ycs."
 He came across the room to her. You're not sorry?" he asked hoarsely. About everything?" She shook her head dumbly. He rut his hands on her shoul- ders.
 Its been so wonderful, Sondra,
 She made swift movement to- waros him, hiding her face against his coat and his arms closed round her
 He said in s rough, shaken voice "You:l take care of yourself, won't you, my darling?-and write te me often. I'm glad you'll be all right-about money, I mean" Yes" Even in that moment of tragedy, it seemed strange tc Sond.a that Mark should always

of hearts and his side was not vul-
nerable. This South quickly dou-
bled.
The Play
The king of hearts was the open
ing lead by South, which was
trumped in dummy.
A small diamond was next led
and won by declarer with the king.
Declarer then led the seven of
clubs, South went right up with
the ace and then returned the eight
of spades in. order to stop declarer
from rufing in dummy. The trick
was won with the jack.
Declarer's next play was the king
of clubs from dummy upon which
he discarded a diamond. He then
led The ace of diamonds and a
small diamond, ruffing in his own
hand with a small spade.
Declarer's next play was q small
heart which was ruffed in dummy
with the six of spades. A diamond
was returned, North discarding ~
other heart and the declarer trump
ing with the ten of spades.
This left the declared with the
ace and queen of spades and two
hearts. South has the king and
one spade and the ace and queen
of hearts. The declarer led the
seven Of hearts, which was won by
South with the queen, North play
ing his last heart-the jack. South
then led his ace of hearts, and
while it is quite unusual to trump
your partners ace, that is exactly
What North must do.
He should trump the ace of
hearts with the nine of spades in
order to be able to lead through
the declarer rather than allow his
partner tolead up to the declarer.
When North leads the queen of
clubs, East will trump with the
queen Of spades, but South will be
able to overtrump with the king of
spades and thereby defeat the con-
tract one trick.
If North had failed to trump his
partners ace, the declarer,s con-
tract Of four odd would have been
made.

z INCOME TAX
BILLS OFFERED
IN LEGISLATURE
Measure Like WiSconSin'S
Would Raise $25,000,-
900, Sponsors Claim.


Efforts to tap new sources Of rev.
enue and lift the tax burden from
real estate was made Friday in the
house of representatives through
two different income tax bills, an
other bill taxing gross incomes Of
all utilities, and a fourth which
would place a levy on malt and
wort also we're introduced.
One income tax measure intro
duced by Oliver w. McGaughey
rep, Veedersbury, and George c.
Ale Dem), Vernon, would, accord
ing TO the authors, raise S25, 000,00
in leyies on both personal and cor
porate incomes.
1t is modelled on the Wisconsin
plan and would give the state tax
board authority to fix the tax rate,
not to exceed per cent.
Cut TO l Per Cent
BY raising s25,00O,00O in this man
ner, the levy on real estate and in
tangiles would be reduced to l per
cent OF the assessed valuation, Nc
Gsughey said.
Income exemptions are as follows:
Single person $500; married wage
Garner, $1,000 and $3.50 for each de-
pendent child
The other bill framed by the citi-
zens tax committee would levy on
personal incomes only and provides
a sliding scale of exemptions.
Single persons would receive ex-
emption up to 5000; married, $1,000,
with an additional allowance of
$500 for each dependent child.
The proposed tax rate is: Incomes
up TO $4,000, 2 per cent; to $4,000,
3 per cent; to $4,000, per cent; to
$4,000, per cent, and above $4,000
the rate is per cent.
Assesses Utility Income
The bill introduced by John Ryan
Dem), Terre Haute, would require
every utility to pay licensing fee
of SIS annually and would assess
them 6la per cent of the total gross
income based on monthly reports.
The funds so derived, estimated
by Ryan to approximate $1,000, 900,
would be used to replace the state
educational fund levy.
Basing their estimate upon the
income of Michigan which was ST.
$4,000, last year, Walter f. Stan
ton and Fred A. Egan of Gary, who
introduced the malt and wort tax
bill declared that Indiana's income
probably would reach the same fig
ure.
Provide License Fee
The bill provides for an annual
licensing fee of 500 to be paid the
state auditor by the wholesaler in
malt and wort and SIS by the re-
taller. A tax of 5 cents a gallon
would be collected by the state on
the products sold.
House bill curbing excessive ex-
penditures of sheriffs and deputies
in transporting prisoners to penal
institutions was passed. A limitation
of 5 cents a mile on each trip, re-
CARELESS Of the number of prisoners
transported, is provided in the bill,
introduced by Representative Earl
Crawford (Rep), Milton, and John
D. Bold (Dem), Evansville.
