you that you've got. a fine hus

that he's got the 'prize package,

Byrd didn't dare wipe the wet
spot off- her cheek. And she
forced a smile. She i told! him a

STATE S PROPERTY
S
Property valuations of the state
for the year 1928 exclusive! of pub
lic utility corporations which is
fixed by the state tax- commis
sion, aggregates $953,958,046 as
against $946,826,736 for the
year 1927. The decrease In the
county valuations for 19128, as
compared with 1927, is approxi
mately $7,100,000. The tax levy
for 1929 will - be based ion the
property valuations for 19128.
Earle Fisher, state tax Commis
sioner, explained that there would
be a slight increase In the public
utility valuations, but that this
would not be sufficient to offset
the decrease in the county valua
tions. The reduction in the coun
ty property valuations was due to
the loss of $8,108,869, which was
the assessed valuation placed en
national bank stock In the state
of Oregon. Collection of a1 tax on
national bank stock was held to
be Illegal In a recent decision of
the federal court in Portland.

there are who believe he had a
subtle charm for every .woman. -
His eyes were constantly rov
ing, constantly searching, con
stantly wary, for he had a great:
regard for his reputation, that is,
part of it which was in the public
eye. Beady, black, knowing eyes
from face to face, like oil.
Byrd thought she would like to
know just what he war so care
fully concealing from the world.
Then she knew she wouldn't like
to know. It was, no doubt, some
thing sordid.
His wife, Margy. knew, but she
would never tell. She had a
strange, old-fashioned pride that
sealed her lips.
A momentary tremor seized
Byrd. Didn't most women need
to develop that protective Instinct
toward the men they married, and
learn to conceal their faults? And
again she had a strange fore
boding that some day she would
be defending Larry with all the
fierce loyalty of which she was
capable.
CHAPTER IV
MAROY was a sweet little
who looked completely
worn out by the exigencies
that she had three lovely children
Her whole life was centered in
them and in her home Byrd
liked her. Byrd liked her point
of view, but thought she took
her children too seriously. Mar
gy squeezed all the fun out of
life.
"When I have a baby." thought
Byrd, with a little thrill running
up and down her backbone, "it's
going to be all fun. It'll be just
like playing 'keeping house' when
I used to borrow Jenny and
Jinna."
"Where will you live?" asked
Margy. "There are such lovely
suburbs around Cleveland. We're
almost out In the country our
selves."
"I'd love to have a little house
rather far out." said Byrd, let
ting ner mind hover over this
entrancing thought for a md
ment. "With a garden! We've
always had a lovely garden at
home! Mother took care of it
herself. Wouldn't let anyone
touch it. Father called It moth
er's Eden, and said If he as much
as put his Adam's foot Into it. it
seemed to threaten to curl right
up and move away!"
For an instant Byrd's voice
choked a little at the thought of
things at home moving alone
without her.
Byrd and Marj?y sat and talk
ed. Margy told her all about the
children, and especially the baby.
and not one of them." she
said, foudly, "has been a bot
tle baby."
"We're going to buy a little
house," Byrd heard herself con
fiding. "I'd love a bungalow.
We've been so rushed we haven't
even discussed just where we'd
like to live. I think Larrv's
about decided, though. At first
were going to the Coronado un
til we look around."
Jack overheard Byrd's last re
mark. "I'll say you've got Larry las
soed, all right." he interrupted
them. "I didn't think there was
a woman living who could lead
Larry to the h-alter (good Joke.
eh?) nor to mention a little white
house with green shutters and a
cow in the pasture. It'll be good
for him after the hothouse life

Jack seemed to be enjoying the
vision of a domesticated Larry,
for he continued to smile to
himself.
"I don't think you ought to
say things like that to Byrd,"
said Margy, after Byrd had left
them.
"Oh mush!" Jack answered ir
ritably. "Why In heaven's name
can't you wives leave us alone!
Always finding fault about some
thing or other! If you cant
critlclie me. you have to criti
cize what I say about someone
else!"
He walked off sullenly, and
Margy sighed. Jack was right,
In a way. she told Byrd confiden
tially. She had troubles of her
own with Jack and the children,
and why did she need to antici
pate the troubles of other people?
"I've never learned to manage
Jack." she said. "I hope you'll
start out different than I did."
Margys mind flew back over
the earlj years of their marriage
and she told Byrd of those Joy
less days and nights., when Jack
rursued the even course of his
bachelor days, even , though mar
ried, never allowing domestic
life to interfere in the least with
his plans for his own diversions
and pleasures.
Thre-e nights week he played
poker or hung around one of
many clubs or orders to which he

matter of "business". And be
had any" number of friends, who,
like himself, regarded their
homes merely as places to sleep,
and where they occasionally con
sented to eat a meal. When the
children came, he was so Irritable
with them that Margy was glad
that he spent his evenings else
where. But she never, considered di
vorce. Never! As long as hfc
supported them she wouldn't de
prive her children of a father, no
matter how bad a one he proved
to be. And she never complained.
Why. she had nnre heon u
