ing on, Tax cOlleetOr-Assessor
Sam Pinder was asked by The

promising, to say the least.
Mr.. Pinder said that since the
so per cent reduction was an

been exceptionally busy doing the
many calculations to get the final
figures ready for presentation to
DELINQUENT taxpayers, and within

find that since starting my re-

and now have on hand applea-
tons which viii keep me busy
every minute Of the time in my
office for a week"
Mr.. Pinder said he is very much
gratified at the response being
made by the delinquents, and
there are many who seem eager TO
saGa advantage Of the liberal re-
duction being allowed by the
council. Prospects are excellent,
he said, for a steady increase un-
til all the delayed payments in
the book are practically clean.

Secretary Hull is intelligent
enough to understand exactly

that MsnchCria, Ethiopia, Spain

not restrained and that the civil.

The cardinal doctrine of our

an effort, sometimes almost
grotesque, to keep the peace be-
tween the United States and 9TH

powers, involved in the Difficult

Government vigorously avoids tax

maintaining what one might call an
official neutrality in every atti-

"Righto," said Frank. "And now
I won't need you to pilot me any fur
Their. But I hope we'll be seeing
each other often, pal" He held out
his hand.
"Well, IL hope we shall, too
pail" Stammering and flushed to
the roots of his hair, Tad shook
hands. II think you're swell guy,
Frank" he blurted. Then, calling
his dog, he hurried away, going
back along the middle of the road.
Merriwell stood there a moment
or two, watching the departing boy
and his dog. Suddenly, without
sound of a warning horn, a light
truck came swiftly up over the brow
of the hill and rumbled down upon
them. It was John Snodd's truck,
but Bart Hodge was driving and Joe
Bemis, Snodd's man, was sitting
beside him.
"Look out, Tad!" Frank shouted.
Leaping toward the side of the
road, the boy tripped and fell. Like
an acrobat, he tipped his body over
and rolled into the ditch. He was
hidden from Merriwell's view by the
dust raised by the wheels of the
truck.
Hodge grinned mockingly at
Frank, standing on the shoulder of
the road, as the truck rolled past
with undated speed. The dust
caused Merry to shut his eyes for
a moment. AS the truck rumbled
onward he heard Tad's voice call
ing wildly:
Frank! Frank Come here,
Frank! He ran over my dogl He's
killed my poor little dogl"
More than an hour later, Tony
Acerro drove his brand-new ''taxi''
up to John Snodd's front door and
Frank Merriwell hoped lightly out
of the car.
Snodd was waiting on the steps.
"Well," he said, taking his pipe
out of his mouth and looking Frank
over with a pair of keen blue eyes.
II see you arrived in style, young
Teller. Sorry my truck wasn't good
enough for you to ride in"
His speech was sharp and brisk.
Like his neat white buildings and
everything around the place, he
looked prosperous. His iron-gray
chin whiskers gave him a distinctly
rustic appearance.

you want Joe Bemis to take you

''Wait right here" said Frank.
"Here's your fifty cents in advance.
I'll be back in a couple of min
utes."
He left a silver half-dollar in the
freckle-faced youngsters hand be-
fore hurrying away to interview Joe
Bemis, and boy and dog were
waiting on the spot when he re-
turned. He had delivered his trav-
cling bag to Bemis and turned over
the check to his trunk.

Frank laughed. "He seemed to
have forgotten all about me, Tad. "

eyes, let's CO."
The old dog trotted ahead Of them
as they were climbing the hill. Be
hind them the train was pulling out
of Fardale village. Beyond the hill
lay the exclusive school for boys,
the autumn term of which had
opened week ago. Circumstances
over which he had no control had
delayed Franks arrival. Now he
must pass special examinations to
obtain admittance.
Chatting with his guide on the
way up the hill, Merriwell learned
that the little fellows father was
dead, that his mother was poor, and
that Tad was doing what he could
to keep the wolf away from the
door. Something like a magical
sympathy and understanding was
established between them.
When they came to the crest of the
long rise Frank found himself look
ing down on the academy build
ings, half a mile away. He paused
to take the scene in. Besides the
academy itself, there were dormi-
tories, mess hall, gymnasium and
chapel. The walks were bordered
by rows Of handsome trees, and the
tennis courts and athletic field were
not far distant. Students were NOV
ing to and fro, singly and in small
groups.
Beyond lay the open ocean, with
the sunshine of late afternoon warm
on its bosom. A building on the
shore of a sheltered cove appeared
to be the academy boathouse.
