border to thu snow-covered land. A quarter of a mile away, running without lights but visible in the | glow of t'e street lamps, an auto mobile was speeding away from the town.
 That's thenl" shouted the po- liceman. V ,
 His pistol was over the sill: the passengers were already forgotten.
 The Canfields, father and daughter, sitting forward and gripping the back of the front seat as they stared over the sway ing shoulders of the policeman and chauffeur, were too excited to think of danger. The chauffeur could not have had an assignment more to his liking. He had always wondered what this car would do If freed of arbitrary trafic laws and owners restriction. Now, with the connivance of both owner and the law, he would find out if only they reached Q stretch of pavement free of ice.
 It was a wild ride on that pave- ment. The pursuing car did not seem to be gaining, but 1t did not appear to be losing, either. Ob- vtously, the bandits driver could not risk top speed. A skid and spill would mean capture.
 There, they'd gone into spin! on the road and through the crust of snow on the shoulder. But their car was out in a moment or two, numbering on to the road again and picking up speed.
 The following car, however, had gained about 400 yards in that fraction of time. Already the po- liceman, grimly pleased, was fir- ing from his window.
 Suddenly the fugitive car slowed down, wabbling dangerously along the shoulder. The policeman fired again as the Garfield car streaked to close the wide cap, and there were flashes from the car ahead as once again t picked up speed.
 And in the road was a hideous bundle that the headlights of the following car picked out as a man.
 The chauffeur irstinctively braked. The heavy car swung to- ward the edge. Valiantly he pulled the wheel in the direction of the skid, but Just bit short of enough.
 The car turned over as the slope of the ditch threw 1t into the field beyond.
 Probably by the luck of the Irish, the policeman, by the open window, was thrown clear.
 The Osborn car could not match even the restrained speed of the two automobiles ahead on Shore Road, and Dorothy, her mother and McDonugall Lane upon the wreck full two minutes later.
 Dorothy pointed to the car off the road, 50 that its headlights glared upon the giant scratch across the snow and the crushed machine at the end of it. McDougall was out before she stopped, and was run ming toward the other car.
 One door in the twisted frame refused to open, he jerked at an- other and reached in, slowly. gently, pulling out Q man. A man who was still.
 Dorothy was beside him as he dragged of his overcoat and placed tl.e man upon 1t in the

And yet again, and this time McDougall Straightened up with Marcia in his arms and staggered, with white face, toward the Os- born car !n the road. At sight of the two cars, one wrecked and the other turned with its lights on the spot. another machine, racing from town, slowed tip, but the policeman who had been tossed from the Garfield car was on hie feet again and waved 1t ahead, with shouted directions. It was Q police car, taking up the chase.
 Other cars now were streaming along Shore Road. and 1t was a brief matter to flag two of them to carry Philip Canfleld and the chauffeur back to the town. Doro- thy started her own car; MacDou- gall, in the back seat, held Marcia in his arms.
 The street lamps, flashing in, projected his image to Dorothy at intervals through the rear view mirror - not clearly, but well enough.

For un- counted moments she went through again the experience of landing in an airplane on a covered farm and then she remembered the more recent experience of being tossed of q road in a careening automobile. A stab of pain stimulated her into the present, and she saw, not the white of sonw, but room en- tirely white. A glaring room, which, before she could identify it, was lost again in 8 black mist.

IT now definitely has been de.I

The stamps will bear the portraits of King George, VI and Queen Elizabeth, in a set- ting of coronation emblerns. There; will be no bi-colors, and the( names of the colonies will mark the only difference among the stamps.
 In addition, the dominions and, other possessions are planning coronation sets of varying types and values. The stamps will be on sale from May l2 to Dec. 3l.
 The Boulder Dam stamp has been withdrawn from sale at the philatelic agency in Washington.

CHAPTER xxIx

Dorothy Osborn stopped her car Hithin hundred yards of the bank and looked back. A crowd was gathering, milling futiiely about the Dank,s doors and peering down the side street through which the bandits had fled.
 Firing the last cartridge in his pistol after the vague shape of the robbers car, the policeman who had responded to the alarm shouted an order to the crowd in general to call for reinforcements from the station house, and then looked wildly around for a car to give chase.
 A limousine was approaching from the direction of the railroad station and the oficer jumped into it's path, gesturing commancingly.
 McDougall. having met Mrs. Os- born at the door of the store in which she had been shopping, had junk escorted her to her own car when the communicated limou- sine rushed past, the policeman winding down the window of the door at his side and reaching in hN belt for more cartridges.
 Lets go after them!" cried Dorothy excitedly.
 kErs. Osborne surprised Me- Dougall by assenting eagerly. and they scrambled into the old car, the artist vainly warning them that there were bandits and gum play ahead.
 '.But always liked to follow tho fire engines" Mrs. Osborn said simply, and appeared to think she mad explained everything.
 In the communicated car the policeman was shouting directions to c uniformed chauffeur.
 Straight down to Shore Road!" he yelled. ''They headed down Hillview avenue, SO they got to come out on Shore Road. Keep her rollingl"
 Someone leaned forward from the cavernous depths Of the back seat.
 The policeman had not even been aware of anyone else in the car. Now he glanced back.
 Blue blazesp' he cried. T didn't know there was anybody but the driver!'
 What's happened2" Philip Can- field repeated impatiently.

AND FINE is T

A wave of indignation swept
through the community last week
when, following what was apparent
ly an unwarranted assault On one
of the instructors of the Plenty
wood schools, the father of a dis
ciplined boy, plead guilty to the at
tack before Justice E. E. Belanski
and was fined $50.
Erling Richardson, completing
his first year as 9Th grade instruct
or, had slapped the 10-year-old son
Traction of rules in his classroom.
The lad evidently exaggerated the
punishment to his parents, and the
father. without consulting the in
structor, and with no warning what
ever, assaulted Richardson on Main
street when he was on his way to a
picture show.
The young instructor was beaten
about the head to such an extent as
to resuire medical aid, and which
later caused an infection in his jaw.
School authorities insisted upon
examination of the boy by a physi-
clan to determine whether or not
the instructor had inflicted any
injury. This examination revealed
not the slightest injury of any kind.
Most highly respected in the COM
munity, Richardson was also rat
ed as an efficient teacher and his
work had met with general satisfac-
ton among patrons of the school.

persons eligible to buy foodstuffs is
a Canadian bachelor or some one
living alone. That person must
alone consume such foodstuffs If he
complies with the regulations.

shortly after the treaty was adopt
ed. reported Canadian citizens COM
ing to the port loaded down with
items which the ybelieved duty-free.
One instance was a Canadian shop
per with a bat-tub tied on top Of his

states, cheaper undoubtedly than II
he had bought it in is w country.
To his dismay, he had to pay duty.
1t would have been hard for him to
prove that no one else was going to
use that bath tub!
One Plentywood businessman told
The Herald he estimated that last
falls business was 40 percent Can
adian trade.
In bordering towns and cities
where the new reciprocal treaty is a
boon, it Is met with general favor.
In other localities there is a cry for
its discrimination. Stockmen in
many localities are protesting. They
contend Canada is dumping their
surplus livestock into the United
States and in April, $4,000 head
crossed the border to L. 5. markets
They are striving for a quota on
such imports.

TAX DEADL|NE IS
REACHED MONDAY

With the deadline on which to
pay last half of 1886 taxes but a
few days away, officials at the
county treasury today reported that
payments were coming in slow and
all indications point to a light tax
paying period.
Receipts at the treasury up to
Wednesday totalled only $4,000.
Yet to come are checks from utilities
which should swell the collections
approximately an additional $40,-
900.
Saturday will be the last taxpay-
ing day at the treasury window.
Monday will be a holiday, declared
so in view that Memorial day comes
on Sunday. Deadline on tax pay
ments officially is May 81.
A last minute rush is expected to
beat the delinquent penalty and in
terest clauses which go into effect
after next Monday.
Another threatened crop failure
has undoubtedly slowed down the
payment of taxes, despite the fact
that a 2 percent penalty and 5 per-
cent interest clause is levied against
property on which taxes become de-
linquent in this paying period.
Taxes delinquent before this per-
iod are exempt from penalty and
interest If paid before the grace
period ending in 1888.
