' As the full meaning of Cousin
Agatha's words dawned upon me,
I sprang to my feet with a wild
idea of rushing to my mother-in-Uw'i
room and finding out for
myself If what she intimated were
true if Dicky really planned to
go away from home. ' ,

and I sat down again in my chair.
"His mother will miss him sore
ly." Cousin Agatha had said. That
was really no proof that Dicky
meant to leave home. She easily
might hare misunderstood the
conversation, to which I was sure
she had been an unsuspected
eavesdropper.
I tcok a firm grip upon myself
as I realized there was nothing i
could do either to confirm or dis
prove Cousin Agatha's malicious
inference. I ' must wait until
Dicky or hi mother told me what'
ever, there was to knovr That
Dicky was coldly angry at me
and suspicious of me. I bad read
in his face when he had left the
dinner table so abruptly. He was
in no mood to listen to any re
marks of mine upon any subject.
The -lights of the rooms inside
were too bright for my mood. Bet
ter far the fragrant, shielding
darkness of the veranda. I took
my chair close to the screened
side looking toward the lake and
sat dtfcrn. drawing around my
shoulders a wrap which Katie's
thoughtful nes had put near me
early in the evening. Across the
lake and through the trees on the
other " side gleamed occasional
lights, those in the homes on the
other side or me village.
How long I sat there I do not
know. Deen and bitter werti the

Dicky's loved step on the ver
anda brought me to my feet
swiftly, my hands? clenched agains
my heart. It seemed to me that
not only he but everyone in the
house could hear its beating.
Where the devil are you.
Madge?" The very irritation in his
voice was a relief to me. There
bad been a subtle change in his
mood. Gone was the sinister cold
ness which had so terrified me.
His impatience was characteristic
of his old, more natural self.
"Ritht here." I answered cheer
fully. "What is it. Dicky? Any
thing I can do for you?"
"Why. yes. there is." he re
turned hesitatingly. "Where are
tar socks nnd handkerchiefs and
collars? 1 can't find but two or
three of each, and I had doxens."
This was no new complaint of
Dicky's. He's extremely hard ap-
on his clothing, and he will not
tolerate a mended sock unless it
be an infinitesimal fcole. indeed.
He tears socks, collars and hand
kerchiefs in two and throws them
on the floor when he thinks
they're too vorn for his fastidious

to my breast his irritation con

"I'll hunt them tip right away."
I said. "Katie washed this morn

"She must hare, a three weeks'

"I haven't had anything brought

"Haven't The Slightest Idea."

might. "But I think I'll be able

"All right." he returned In a
slightly mollified tone. "Wish

go suddenly dry. But I knew,
subtly, that he expected me to help

"This is probatly true. Ruin
ous rates of taxation are very apt
to retard Industrial development
of the state, but we may depend
upon the legislature to maintain
its appropriations up to the limit
of the six per cent constitutional
amendment in any case. Ever
since the people adopted the C per
cent tax limitation amendment as
a protection to the taxpayers, the
legislature, as well as other tax
levying bodies, has seen to It that
the limit has been reached. With
the swiftly advancing costs inci
dent to the war. its action may
hare been justified, but we be
lieve the same result would have
attained had operating costs been
placed on a descending scale.
Transferring the tax burdens
from a direct to an indirect sys
tem, however, does not lift the
load at all. If the state should
reduce direct taxes, which is un-
likely. or should not continue to
Increase them-up. to the six per
cent limitation, whiclTfs Just as
improbable, the revenue required
would come from fees aad other
methods of Indirect taxation. The
substitute might lessen the bur
den-on owners of realty, but. not
to an appreciable extent, as the
burden of taxation does not come
from the state, but from counties.
cities, school districts and other
municipal 'sub-divisions of our
government.
Direct taxation baa the merit
of being a safety valve npoa leg
islative expenditures. It is the
greatest check npon reckless ex
penditure of public funds that we
have. ' Re'moye it. either wholly
or In a considerable part, and we
would then encourage waste la
our appropriations, as the respon
sibility of the legislature to the
taxpayer would be gone. It is this
responsibirUy that causes the leg
islature to exercise a reasonable
amount of caution and delibera
tion in the disbursement of the
people's money. .. . . . .
