"Let us forget those oil
things" he said, stopping her or
the threshold. Lets put them
away, Gillian, forever"
She said:
IT have forgotten much of the bit
terness;
So many of the old, dark things
forgot"
And she smiled up at him, but
even then remembered that the
lines she had quoted were writ
ten by Jaffry Clay.
Most of the company stayed
over on Monday to go to the fair
at St.-Cloud, which had begun to
attract thousands of visitors from
the country round about. Simon
Killigrew said he would visit the
fair for an hour or so to see joins
horses shown, but that he must
leave then for Montreal.
Gillian saw Simon Killigrew
watching the merry-go-round, per-
haps thinking of other fairs, of a
young girl beside him. She felt
an ache, wistful yearning in
her heart. He looked so lonely
there, and so young and so lost
and still so stubborn.
Don't forget" said Jon, you're
to show that bay, Hero, for me.
What-ho! Here's Landry looking
for me-"

There's one thing I must tell
you, Jon," Gillian said at last,
loosing the clasp of his arm: Give
thought this all out too. I've been
cold and calculating in wanting to
marry you. Oh, don't mistake me
Il think you are splendid. There
is no man I honor or admire more,
except Anse. But I feel I would
be less than honest if I didn't tell
you the truth-that there's no
love in me-nothing of what the
world calls love"
"But there can be-" In spite of
his wisdom, his Wanted sophisti-
cation, he was oddly disappointed.
What had he deluded himself
with? He was more than twice
her age. Gillian was not yet twen-
ty.
81 don't know" said Gillian.
I'm afraid of love, anyway" She
spoke almost sullenly. "But I can
be happy with you and I can
make you happy. That's all love
could mean anyway. Isn't it,
JONI"
poor Gillian" he said softly
She chung to Jon Hillyer. 'Don't
say, Poor Gillian Don't feel sor'
ry for me, JON"
But the greatest thing in life
Gillian-the thing that belongs to
youth-that is youth - you have
not known il"
Her eyes were cold, cold, and
her heart was cold.
81 don't know what to think.
only know you are troubled, and
that I'd do anything-anything in
the world-to help you"
I'm still thinking of love, Jon
Still wondering if one can really
die for love. Oh, Jon, forgive me
for talking this way! Forgive me
and-and love me- I'm not afraid
of your love, JON"
"You need never be. Nor afraid
for it." With him the let down
feeling persisted. This moment
had been nothing such as he had
pictured.
I'VE won't announce it tonight,
he said. perhaps we won't an
nounce it at all. Well just 60 of
one of these days, soon, and be
married"

CHAPTER, v
SynODSiS

Lovely, red-headed Gil1ia n
Meade lives with her uncle, Colo
mel Anselm Meade, at Rydall
House, in Eastern Canada. Realiz-
ing that the family fortunes are
nearly exhausted, Gillian deter
mines to accept Jonathan Hillyer,
wealthy friend of the family,
while she is his guest at house
party on his luxurious estate. She
meets Simon Killigrew, best
friend of Jaffry Clay, the brilliant
young poet to whom Gillian was
engaged. Killigrew accuses Gil
liam of having been responsible
for Clay's death. This disturbs
her, and at the very instant that
Jon Hillyer is proposing, she finds
herself wavering in her resolve to
marry him.

Monroe County Boat Owners
Must Pay Taxes On Vessels
Listed As Personal Property

Owners of boats in Monroe
county. possibly for the first time
in local history. viii be called upon
this year to pay taxes on their YES
sells as personal property, Tax As
SCISSOR Claude A. Gandolfo an
nounced today.
Although boats always have
been subject to county taxes here
and throughout Florida, the law
has been ignored in Monroe coun-
ty, until Gandolfo was ordered by
State Comptroller J. M. Lee Tues
day to put them on the rolls.
Boat owners, Gandolfo explain
cd, have until July 90 to make a
tax return on their property. II
no return is handed to the tax as
SCISSORS office by that time, Gan
dolfo will make the assessment
himself, turning the figures over
to the county commission August
l, for collection.
Gandolfo said he, and other tax
assessors, were told flatly in Tai
lahassee that the state will use its
full authority to see that all pro-
perry, real. personal and intanei-
BILE, is assessed at its full valua-
ton. and the taxes collected
Governor Holland. he said ins
formed the tax assessors the state
would check income tax records
to make sure intangible tax re-
turns are properly filed. Monroe
county, up to now. has almost no
intangible returns on file. but
Gandolfo said full information on
the amount of intangible proper
ty subject to taxation will be for
warded to him before August |.
Gandolfo was instructed by the
comptroller to hold up his assess
ment books for another month,
instead of turning them over to the
commission on the customary date
of July |. Because of new instruc-
tions. ii will be necessary TO spend
at least an extra month in rear
ranging the rolls.
Monroe county boats came mp
for attention at the Tallahassee
confab, because assessors of other
counties reported boat owners in
their jurisdiction were transfer
ring their property here In order
to avoid taxation.

morning the governors office had
not communicated with him, pro-
missed a full investigation.
Story Widely Carried
Reports on the expulsion of the
Miami men today were carried by
news services to papers through
out the nation, and radio listeners
here said they had heard stories of
the mob violence on network
news programs.
Preu company officials. who
yesterday informed William r.
Porter of the Lime Grove corlNra-
ton that they would not carry out
their contract under existing cir~
cunstances, today had nothing to
say as to whether they would start
on the $450,0 900 project.
Clarence Higgs, business man
ager of local carpenters union No.
SIS. declared neither he nor his
union had any knowledge of the
affair, but insisted local laborers
were fully justified if they did
drive out "scab" workmen.
Imported Miami Men
Higgs said his own union recent
ly has called for 200 union car
penters from Miami to assist on
local jobs, and denied that the
violence could have been caused
by antagonism between local and
out-of-town workers.
IF the Preu company wanted to
play fair with local workers, they
should have contacted the local
unions and asked about condi-
tions here, Higgs declared. 'This
town is 100 per cent union and
it's going to stay that way.
Every carpenter i'm town is in
our union, and the old ones who
can't work get pension from
u.s."
Contractors Laud Union
HIggS SAID other contractors In
Key West have had the fullest CO.
operation from the unions and
are now glad we pulled walkout
and made the jobs closed shop.
There's no fight between us
and Miami workmen, if they
come here and 20 to work under
union rules, and if we can't get
local men for the jobs" Higgs
said. But some of these contract
ors like Preu think they can come
here and get men to work for 40
cents an hour like they used to-
Porter. director of the Lime
Grove company, said he would
withdraw from the housing pro-
ject.
ut doesn't make great deal of
difference about my part in the
deal" he said TODAY, but they
certainly have succeeded in get
ting some fine publicity for Key
West"
