Who rm pulling for," Polly ex
claimed. I ain't palling: for nobody,
but the president's pulling for the sol

"Didn't you read what the president said
about a aal tax being the one that'd
make everybody pay it."
"Sure it wUl." T. Paer conceded.
"ererybodytl pay it except the fellahs
that made their fortunes out'n 'the war

up some more profits."
"I don't see it." Polly contended. "It
seems to me like a sales tax would be
the easiest way that could be found.
"It would." 'T- P1 ,d. "op th

the butchers 'nd the coal men. but tt'd

to do it"
"But," Tolly argued, "the people that
sold things would be the ones that had
to pay the tax.
"Bunk." T. Paer retorted. "Tou talk
like you hadn't lived very long m this

to put your hat on."
' "I don't know as you're the only smart
Derson In the world," Polly flared at
him. "There's a lot of big men that're
strong for the sales tax." i

"What do such people know about tax

never sit down and think about such

"I dont 'spose they do," T. Paer ad
mltted. "If they stop diggin' long
enough to think their stomachs holler

they're too blamed tired to think

rt : - CHAPTER S3.
(Copyright. 1922, by Star Company)
TXR a whole minute Helen Qonnan
Sj stood Irresolute. .
She was thinking fast. Eflx-beth had
not expected her home yet; she had not
heard her enter.
She would be chagrined, were she to
suspect that Helen had witnessed the
affectionate scene between herself and
the man to- whom he was engaged.
That Elisabeth Mayo and Luther WU
lard were engaged the country girt did
not doubt That they had only this
evenlnir become engaged seemed likely.
For, of course, Elizabeth would have
confided In her. Helen, If her betrothal
had occurred even 24 hours ago.
Helen's heart beat high tn sympathy
as she appreciated that at last Elisabeth
had fallen in love. Then she recalled
her friend's remarks about her determin
ation to marry only a man who had
money even if she did not care for him.
Bow reconcile that statement with,
what Helen had Just seen?
But, of course, Elizabeth, had not
meant that foolish statement! She had
ottered It to conceal from her companion
the fact that she was losing her heart
to Luther Wlllard. .
For Luther wniard was a poor man
with s salary barely enough to enable
him to live as he wished to live even
without a wife to support. He was ex
travagant, and acknowledged that he
was.
He was constantly referring to the
fact that it was necessary for him to
mwiKh himself with what he termed
many "lean weeks", in which he must
save enough money to. pay for his reck
lessness durlngv his "fat weeks," or
periods of extravagance.
Yet Elizabeth was engaged to him!
Helen, standing in the hall, smiled con
tentedly and comprehendingly. Her
friend was, after all, not the mercenary
person that she had pretended to be.
Helen must make her presence known
now, yet not surprise her hostess un
duly. With a subtlety that she flattered her-
wft was keen she opened the outer door
again, tip-toed onto the upper hall, then,
with an effort to make as much racket
as possible, .reinserted, her key tn the
lock and entered the apartment
more, slamming the door behind her.
-Betty I" she called. "Where are
your j
"Here!" Elisabeth, answered, and
moment later appeared In the doorway
of the living-room. "Come In. Luther
Wlllard is here. X did not expect you
home as early as this. I thought you
had to work late."
"OnW lmtn about T o'clock. I did
not ham to stay downtown unless
wanted to. But I was glad to help Miss
Datrymple with the new consignment of
goods that arrived.' .
She was trying to speak naturally
If she were not aglow with sympathy
with these young people who had Just
declared their love for each other. She
rald not understand bow Elisabeth
could annear so calm and self-poaaessed-
Her cheeks were Blightly flushed, but
her manner was as composed as usual.
Nor did Wlllard seem particularly
elated. Indeed, he looked at Helen witn
the genuine or as mod interest that he
always showed her.
"Your boss is tn tuck; ta having you
to work for her," he remarked gallantly.
T quite envy her. - If I were in a posi
tion to choose an assistant you would
be It. Miss Ken." . v
TTMcn lanrhed. So did Elisabeth but
br lanen was harsh and forced. Sne
iwearded her friend Witn no trace ox
affection la her gas.
A rain Helen recalled her former su
picion that Elisabeth. . resented Atner
wuiards kindly remarks to the little
Vvmntrv trirL
WelL if Betty loved wtuara u ene
wen encased to him perhaps It w
natural that she should be slightly Jeal
ous. Helen had heard that ail girls in
lore were likely to hare a bit of this
nnlovetv emotion. .
Yet it was rather shsurd when the
object of the Jealousy was Helen Gor
m&n, who cared nothing at all for Luther
Wllard.
Now. if it had been Dr. Andrews-
She checked this idea as also absurd.
"I think I will go to my room," she
said, "if you two wUl forgive my run
ning; off as aoon as X get noma, ism
have had a busy day, and I am tired.
"I doubt if Luther will excuse you,"
EUseheth rejetned rather Sharply. "He
alwars sits up end takes especial notice
i soon as you eorae In. ; I
Only a moment ago this Ctrl had 6een
tn Luther WClards sxma. telling him
that she loved him yet now she spoke
as If aha were vexed with htm. It
was plain that she resented her friend's
inopportune arrival. - :
"I think Mr. Wlllard will manage te
dispense with my presence." Helen said
. . . m i
But Wulard checked her as sue was i -
leaving the room. . 1
"Dont go without sharing nanus, ,
please ! le urged.
Helen glanced at Elisabeth as sue
laid her hand la the man's outstretched
palm. Again she saw a hard gleam, la i
the older girl's eyes. She felt Intensely .o
uncomfortable. But of course an would,
be well when her friend had told her -r
of her engagement, and when Helen had,
a chance to say how happy she was to "
bear of It- Then Betty would under- ;
stand that her Jealousy was ridiculous.

a Utile heap of snow.
Just in front of Jumper was a little
round hols In the snow. He gave it
no attention. It didn't Interest him In
the least. All through the Green Forest
were little holes In the snow. Jumper
'was so used, to them that he seldom no
ticed them. So he took no notice of this
one until something moved down In that
hole. Jumper's eyes opened 'a little
wider and he watched. A sharp little
face with vary bright eyes filled that
little round hole. Jumper moved Just the
tiniest bit and in a flash that sharp
little face with the bright eyes disap

"Gracious, Jumper, how yon did
scare me!" said be
Jumper sat still and. waited. After
long wait (he sharp little face with the
bright eyes appeared again. "Don't be
frightened, Whitefoot," said Jumper
softly.
At the first word the sharp little face
disappeared, but in a moment it was
back and the bright little eyes were
fixed on Jumper suspiciously. 1 After
long stare the suspicion left them and
out of the little round hole came a trim
little felow in a soft brown opat with
white waistcoat and with white feet and
a long, slim tall. It was Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse, sometimes calied Deer
Mouse.
"Oraolous. Jumper, how you Aid scare
me!" said he.
Jumper chuckled. "Whitefoot, I be
lieve -you- are more timid than I am,"
he replied.
Why shouldn't I be? I'm ever
much smeller and I have more enemies,'
retorted Whitefoot
"It is true you are smaller, but I am
not so sure that you have more en
emies," replied Jumper thoughtfully. "I
sometimes seems to me that I cduldn'
have more, especially in wintei." ,
"Name them,' commanded Whitefoot.
Hooty the Great Horned Owl. Yow
ler the Bob Cat, Old Man Coyote. Reddy
Fox. Terror the Goshawk, Shadow the
Weasel. Billy Mink." Jumper paused.
"Is that allf demanded Whitefoot.
"Isn't that enouhr retorted Jumoer
rather sharply. I
"I have all of those and Blacky the
Crow and Butcher the Shrike and Sam
my Jay In winter, and Buster Bear and
Jimmy Skunk and several of the Snake
family In summer," replied Whitefoot.
"It seems to . me sometimes as if I
needed eyes and ears all over me. Night
and day there is always some one hunt
ing for poor little me.. And then .some
folks wonder why I am, so timid. If I
were not so timid, aa I am I wouldn't be
all Ye now ; I would have been caught long
ago. Folks msy laugh at me for being
easily frightened, but I ddn't care.
That is what saves my life a d4en times
a day." ' 7
Jumper looked interested. rt hadnt
thought of that." said be. Tm a very
timid person myself and somjetimes I
have been ashamed of being so easily
frightened. But come to think; of it, I
guess you are right, and the more timid
I am the longer I am liketr to live."
Whitefoot suddenly darted into his
hole. Jumper dldn4t move, but hla. eves
widened with fear. A great white bird
bad Just alighted en a stump! a short
d lata nee away. It was White v the Snowv
Owl. down from the Far North! There
is another enemy we both fonrot."
thought Jumper, and tried not to shiver.
