chance that she would double-cross hel
friend Mary if she realized what she
was doing.
She sat down and picked up the
menu with a grin that crinkled her

His hearty laugh put her at ease.

onslaught. I've dined with extra girls

But not with plumpish, freckled
ones" she laughed, without trace OF
coyness, and as though she took her
lack of allure with keenest relish.
Curt Little laughed with her. know
ing the usual trite words Of assurance
that she was beautiful would have
brought only ridicule down on his
gallant head.
Freckle almost carried out her threat
to eat everything in the place. He had
never seen a woman enjoy food with
such a delightful abandon. No worry

preciated good food and being taken
places. Freckle was by no means un-
attractive. She had a million-dollar
smile and a sense of humor that made
her one of the most delightful people
he had ever met.
But she lacked that Elusive 'it
which a girl with half her intelligence
frequently welded so successfully over
man with money that he placed his
last hard-earned dollar at her selfish
feet
All those thoughts chased themselves
across Curt Little's mind while Freckle
ate heartily and he picked over his
food She had made up her mind not
to mention Mary until he brought up
the subject that was on his mind. And
he decided to put it off until they
were lingering over cigarettes and
coffee.
There was slight pause when the
waiter placed the coffee on the table.
Curt toyed with his cup moment,
then looked up nervously.
"Freckle-I-you no doubt wonder
why I asked you here to talk about
Mary"

being laconic for once in her life"

soon diSilluSioned her when he said
with a cruel blandness:

Mary. Please don't say anything to
her about my calling you-ike good

Freckle's bubble of happiness burst as
suddenly as it had been born. OF

Some girls have all the luck! But
girls of her type. if they expected to
have any caviar on their waters, had to
slave from daylight till dawn to earn it
for themselves. Here was Mary with a
millionaire crazy about her. And Tom

seen in two shoes, ready to commit sui

The only thrill she ever got was when
a man called her up to take her to
lunch and talk about another girl.
Freckle grew very wistful and sorry for
herself But not for long. Soon she
saw the funny side and her redeemlng
sense of honor got the best of her.
She grinned to herself suddenly and
fell to wondering what Curt Little had

But just what further plans to make
that was the question. He was getting
in this thing too deeply for comfort.
Freckle's brain was in a whirl that
afternoon. She argued with herself so
convincingly that by the time Mary
came nome she was firmly convinced
she was about to play the role OF

required a two-thirds majority, or "a

These two measures were per-

a crowded gallery, called up the

MILFORD SHOULD BE
TAX FREE IN 10 YEARS
MiddletOwn, Pa, Citizens To Pay No
Taxes This Year

The town of Middletown, near
Harrisburg, Pa, is one of the few
municipalities in Pennsylvania
without any debt and which has had
a cash balance in the last few years
when other towns were trying to
make loans, may be able to get
along this year without any taxes.
An ordinance fixing the 1888 bor-
ough tax at 5 mills was returned
this week to Council by Burgess H.
V. McNair with a veto.
About one-seventh of the bor-
oughs revenue comes from taxa
tion and the remainder from the
municipality owned electric light
plant.
1.-The large number of homes re-
turned for non-payment of taxes
and the difficulty of other home
owners in meeting taxes shows
clearly that the excessive burden of
taxes must be sharply reduced" !"
the burgess told his Councilmen.
"Middletown is in such financial
condition that relief of the taxpayer
is the principal consideration, since
the borough itself is out of debt and
can be operated from light-plant re-
cepts without serious difficulty.
81 recommend all borough taxes
be abolished and that no tax be
levied for the year."
Milford, Delaware, is not out of
debt. but the light and water sys-
TEN owned by the city, has enabled
City Council to pay off nearly one
tenth of the debt in one year, and
in ten years all will be wiped away,
