STTLLSIZEABLENUMB OF
MARRIAGE PERMITS HERE
Total For Year Will Reach 1900;
Revenue Loss About $3.50.

Oakland's marriage license business
is still of sizable proportions, even
though the revenue is not quite as
much as it was prior to the 49-hour
waiting law which went into effect
last December.
A study of the records shows that
the total loss in revenue this year, as
compared with the previous year, will
be about $3.50, but going back a few
vars, before Pennsylvania and West
Virginia couples had any restrictions
in their own states, the records show
that there is now more revenue re-
ceived than, for instance, in 1884 or
1885. Last year 2270 marriage licenses
were issued at $500 each, making Il
total of $3.50. Over 1900 licenses have
been issued this year thus far and it
is apparent that the number will reach
1900. With this number at $500 each,
and a similar number of applications
at $1.00 each, the amount reaches
$4,000, and the difference in total rev.
enue is not as great as it was at first
thought when the law became effec-
tive.
In 1884 there were 1884 licenses is
sued, which established an all-time
record. The previous year there had
been 1898. At the rate of $500 for
each license, the total revenue will be
greater as a result of the 48-hour law
than in normal years. Waiting period
laws in Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia sent many couples to Maryland
in the past three or four years.
The above figures show only the loss
or gain sustained at the license bureau
and does not take into consideration
losses sustained by hotel keepers and
merchants.

Shrunken old Rud. But now-and
now-we come to reckoning. Now
the power grub has you"
Chiffan stood stunned in front of
this fantastic outbreak of long-hid-
den resentment.
WELL" said Rud, "you chose to
come to me and ask for it. 1T was
only an anticipation. It wouldn't
have been long before Thirp came
for you. I know about you. You
have been watched. You have been
overheard"
Stare at One Another.
He stopped short, resolute but
unable to say clearly the purpose
in his mind. The two old asso-
ciates stared at one another.
80 it's like that" said Chi1an
at last.
How else can it be?"
Chiffan shrugged his shoulders.
Il have known-I have felt it
coming. And yet-it's incredible. I"
Inevitable. Incredible to you,
perhaps. While you have been
dreaming, Chiffan, about this dear,
dear old friendship Of ours and how
you could always win me over when
ever you wanted to do so, I have
kept wide awake. Wide awake. You
come here to tell me all sorts of
things, but now you have been told
something, fair and square. Is
there any need to say more?"
Chiffan stood still and silent for
a long second~or so. But Rud had
finished. The audience was at an
end. Then slowly and meditatively
Chiffan spoke.
I'm not sorry, Rud, for what
I've done for you in the past.
Whatever I have done for you.
We've had a great time together
with this little world"
Sullenly Mulish.
"We!" said Rud.
"Yes-we. I taught you many
things. At the start. - And
like all pilots who're dropped, don't
like to think of you without me
Silly, isn't it? '''"
Rud made no answer. He stood
sullenly mulish.
"Good-by," said Chiffan.
And then: "Good-by, Rud."
There was no answer.
He walked down the long slant
slowly, resisting its urgency to
quicken his steps-never once look
ing back.
Rud remained silent and motion
less until the door had closed on
Chiffan.
He went to the great desk. There
for little space he was immobile
At last he pressed the telephone but
ton and gave Thirp formal orders
for Chiffans arrest.
Tell Rothberg to deal with him. -
he said.
do you mean this?" asked Thirp
and for once he sounded over -awed.
YES" said Rud. Il mean it."
He held hts telephone and there
came no sound of replacement from
the other end.
Indignation Evaporates.
Perhaps Thirp would say some
thing that would alter the situation

Ruds pallor seemed to increase.
He had something very urgent to
say and he did not know how to

he was going to be sick. He brought
his face closer to Chiffan's. When
