a FTER lunch Michael left the
"A house for a walk - ito think
things over" he told the girls. He
made his way directly through the
trees to Freddie's grave,-which
he knew to contain nothing but an
empty box. Presumably Gordon
did not know that the body of his
pet had been stolen. That theft was
something Michael had not quite
explained even to himself; but he
did not stop today to think about it.
He had another mission.
Beyond the grave he stood a mo-
ment at the edge of little path
that ran along the edge of the
trees "a very faint little path
that might have been made by ami
mails going down to the water to
drink. The river swirled and
splashed below him, and the wind
made gentle singing in the tops
OF the pines. Michael stepped into
the little path and followed it. It
was not so easy to follow, lying as
il did along the Vteep clay bank.
His weight kept dislodging the
tufts of grass and roots which had
been the footholds, and he was
forced to grasp at the over hanging
bushes to keep his balance. In a
moment the bank angled out to an
other small promontory, and Mi
chael flattened himself against the
bank as he slipped around the cor
ner. The path was not more than
a narrow ledge of rock here.
As he turned the corner he came
upon the object of his search; but
not quite directly. In the angle of
the bank hung big piece of heavy
burlap; 1t had been Topped back
with a nail, and there behind it
was a cave, followed out of the
clay; and inside the cave, on a chair
which Immediately disclosed itself
as half barrel, sat Gordon Deane.
Michael grinned. Gordon looked
up and their eyes met. Gordon was
stunned. He opened his mouth and
shut it again. He stared.
''Hullo," said Michael. "Any OBJ
jections if I come in? This ledge
makes me dizzy"
Holy sufferin' goldfish" said
Gordon in a hoarse voice, how'd
you find this placer"
Looked for it." said Michael
pleasantly. He went a few steps

Moderate Upturn
Is Forecast for
Summer Business
Only New Major Crisis
Is Feared as Dompener
For Better Outlook

A moderate uptrend from current
levels, barring the early develop
ment of a new major crisis in Eu-
rope, is seen by the United Business
Service of Boston in its forecast for
summer.
Sentiment will continue to be re-
strained by uncertainties abroad"
declared a statement, "the adminis-
tration's unwillingness to alter New
Deal objectives, and labor troubles.
However, this will be offset by the
stimulating effect of low, invento-
ries, steadier prices, well-sustained
purchasing power, and increased
Government spending.
Industrial production will aver
age about 20 per cent above last
year, with consumer lines contin-
uing more active than heavy indus
try. A moderate uptrend in sea-
sonally adjusted indexes will reflect
both actual gains in some lines

suner goods-and less than season.
al declines in others.
Commodity prices-A steady to
firmer trend is indicated in most
markets.
"Automobiles.-Sales prospects for
1910 models will be enhanced by
somewhat better business conditions,
lower selling prices, considerable re-
styling and mechanical refinements.
Full-year 1899 output should reach
3,500000 units, IS per cent gain
over 1898.
'Steel-Mills will be fairly active
through the third quarter on ton
mage booked during the recent price
war. Profits, however, will suffer
from the fact that most orders were
booked at beloW-coSt or break-even
prices.
Building will continue to be one
OF the bright spots, supported by
gains in residential construction and
heavy Government outlays for pub
lie works. Little change in either
building costs or rents is expected.
Retail trade.-Rural buying pow
er Will remain at a high level due
to heavy Government payments and
lower prices for goods the farmer
buys. Rural and mail order sales

RICHMOND, Va, June 12.-
Twenty power companies operating

Hidden Taxes
80 Cents Monthly
Added to Phone Bill
BY ALFRED c. FRODEL,
Tax Attorney and Consultant.
Article Is.

For the year 1928 Bell System
taxes amounted to $81,259,679, or
8 per cent of the average telephone
bill, or 26 per cent of the net operat-
ing revenue before taxes.
For 1888 the taxes amounted to
STAT 100000, an increase of s9,7OO,-
900 over 1887. Taxes in 1888 were
S53,000000 greater than in 1895.
Thus in three years there was an
increase of Sc per cent.
Taxes in 1888 were equal to about
30 cents per month per telephone,
or IA per cent of the average tele-
phone bill, or about one third of the
total pay roll.
Again the taxes for 1928 were 26
per cent Of net operating revenues
before taxes and in 1888 the taxes
Jumped to A per cent of such rev.
enues.
Taxes paid by the telephone COM
pany must necessarily be paid by the
users of telephone. Taxes, like
wages, are expenses of doing busi-
ness.

Forgotten Men
Dine With Serg.
Steen, George Weir

With a record crowd of 81
attending, the fourth Annual
Thanksgiving dinner sponsor
ed by Sergeant William Steen
and George "Shag" Weir, was
voted a success, Thursday.
The dinner, which was a
culinary classic, was served in
an unoccupied dining room,
donated by Russell Smith, OPP
orator of the Hilltop Tavern, 18th
S. and Jackson st. Shag, who was
official host, had invited 80 down
and-outers" to enjoy turkey din
ner as a treat on Steen, but by 8
o'clock, the number had swelled
to "a with still others trying to
get in.
Promptly at $3.50, three huge
turkies, with all the trimmings,
were brought into the dining room,
expertly carved, and served by
white-coated walters to the guests
at the specially prepared table;
and the dinner was on.
An improvised bar was set up
in one corner of the room where
choice beverages were served to
whet the appetite.
Steen, Shag and the kitchen
crew were given a big hand by the
crowd. The only outsiders invited
were Gus West and Ted Wood.
West acted as assistant carver of
the festive bird while Wood was
elected POSTMASTER. A toast was
proposed to Mrs. Steen, wife of
the policeman, for her cooperation
with sponsors of the affair.

Seattle Forum

The Seattle Public Forums have
opened their fourth season of pub
lie discussions of controversial ci-
vic problems. These meetings are
under the sponsorship of the Sc
attic Public Schools and the Unit
ed States Office of Education, and
all discussions are non-partisan.
All sides of important problems
are presented fairly by unbiased
leaders, and half of the forum time
is given to discussion from the
audience.
On Monday evening, November
81, at 8 o'clock at Alexander Ham
ilton Junior High School, North
41st and Densmore, the subject,
What is Behind French Head
lines ?" will be discussed by Prof.
j. c. Chessex of the Department
of Romance Languages of the Uni
versity of Washington. Prof. Ches-
sex was born in Switzerland and
educated at the University of Lau-
same. He speaks both French
and Italian fluently, and served as
newspaper correspondent in
Rome at the time of the rise of
Fascism. He has also lived in
France and known the French peo-
pie. He is a student of political
science and has taken his degrees
in that field.
A parent education series is be-
ing held at Broadway High School
Thursday evenings. On November
80, Mrs. Helen Gibson Hogue will
discuss my Child's Personality
and the World of Work" Mrs.
Hogue is Executive Secretary for
the Washington Society for Men,
tai Hygiene and state Chairman
for the program committee of the

and Teachers. She is widely ex-
perienced as a teacher, a mother,
a discussion leader, a psychiatric
counselor, a social worker, and an
author.
Everyone is invited to attend
one forum free. A small registra-
ton fee is charged for continued
attendance to offset the cost of the
program, since no federal funds
are available for the purpose.
