I'm a drug on the market I've tramped more miles, mounted In . more elevators, sat for Inter rlews on harder chairs than I ever thought possible.

"It that's so, It makes this offer snore plausible. May I consult you?" ( "I'd like to get you back If you're not too high-priced. I'll do my best, (however, to advise you without bias." Cllve detailed the circumstances which bad so puziled him, omit ting Santa's share by disguising her as a friend. f "What's the same ot this firm?" Mr. Cleasby screwed up his shrewd byes. "What they're wanting is probably the list ot our clients. Come back at two and you shall pear all I've discovered." At two, when Cllve returned, Mr. Cleasby had a single sheet ot type written paper I Horn blm. He com' mented perfunctorily, as though ad dressing a directors meeting. r "They're a family concern that's to say, they were founded originally 5 or the handling of one man's estate.

It you turn them down, which I shouldn't tblnk Is likely, keep In touch with me.

"Then she's stlU the loveliest girl In the world?" r "Not a bitch In a carload." ' "It there were, you'd say that Good-bye, my boy, tor the present" Cllve was grateful to be alone. He must go slowly; a girl who bad rid berselt ot one husband might have less compunction In ridding herself ot a socond. That paralyz ing dread was always at the back of his mind. Nevertheless,, If be lay down under this fresh abuse of her power, he would remain tbe under dog all his lite. She'd double crossed blm. Without a doubt sbe handle?1 was fully persuaded that she'd double-crossed him for his own good. Her weakness almost her only weakness was ber confidence in her own strength. , Admitting himself to the apart ment he surprised her on the point of departure. She embraced blm gaily without a trace ot 111-feellng. "The news must be good. You're home early." "In a way It Is. Cross and Cleasby are off the rocks. That report I made in England bad a lot to do with saving them." i Sbe dragged on his shoulders, en veloping blm In ber sweetness. "Cllve darling, don't be tantalis ing." "What scrumptious perfume! There Isn't another girl'' "Cut out the love-making. That Isn't why you returned." 1 Having removed bis coat, he hung It methodically in the cupboard, "Where were you going?" "To a fitting at my dressmaker!. Why keep me in suspense?" "I've neither accepted nor re jected." "But yon Intend to refuse?'' He nodded. "I've found out What an ess you'd have made of me It you'd com mitted me to work for your first husband!" "Nothing that I do pleases." She spoke haughtily, her face Illumined with a holier-than-thou smile. "Poor Dicky isn't Satan. I'm the person he wronged. Surely if I can forgive him " . 1 "Who's talking about forgiving? What you'd planned was to make him my master which is about the same as It I'd planned to make you private secretary to Lou-Lou." i "For heaven's sake!" Santa stamped her foot "Why drag In Lou-Lou?" "Then either yon cant or won't see things from my angle." "Neither will you tomorrow." ' In a huff she loft the room. Before he bad guessed her intention the hall-door slammed. (Cttrrltki IHl.im.

Sales Tax With Shelter Exemption Is Explained In Series of Short Articles, J. C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers no. iv. Shelter Tax exemption and the Farmer. . . I have already Indicated what It would mean to land settlement In Oregon If the working man, botb em ployed and unemployed, were given a chance to get a small place In the country, tax exempt, at a low rate ot Interest. I have ahown that a c tall place In the country would ruly become a retreat, a refuge, a shelter In the fullest sense. .We must not only create In the mind and heart of every citizen a desire for a home, but as well we must lnsugurate a plan that will put borne ownership within the reach of every one.

HAQITS-HE GENTLEMAN-TOUR MANNERS AH HORWO- OT COURIE.TOU WOOLDNT UNIOEIR5TANO WHAT I a n "V"v EDOCATCON the simple reason that until the un ' 'ployed ars put In a way to SUP PORT THOMSELVES the extra tax for unemployment relief wUI more than equal any saving It Is possible to : ake. I believe the only relief pos sible must come through the Imposi tion of a general sales tax. In this article I will show the amount ot the Immediate tax relief the farmer would receive from shelter tax ex emption, and these figures I give only tell the beginning of the story and not the whole story, since every time a farm la subdivided and a new home established there would be another tax exemption allowed. There are 55.163 farms In the state. The average exemption would be about $1250. The mlllage rate that could be taken care of with a two per cent general aalea tax would be approximately 40 mtlle. Forty 'mills times $1250 would be $50. This would b the average amount of eavlng for Black Clouds Gathering Over Tommy ON ANY OFTOUnl A LITTLE A COLLEGE J r each farm unit Fifty dollars times 55,153 farms would amount to si.787,. 00O. This would be the Immediate direct eavlng In taxea to the farmers of the state. It would be a start in the right direction. In Jackson county the smaller units amounting to about one-fourth thi total number of farm unite would pay no taxes except special levies for road purposes. The next fourth higher In value would find their taxes re luced 60 per cent or more. Tbe remaining farm units would get a flat : ductlon of S60 per unit. Homes In the city would get the same amount of reduction on taxea, but would still have to ray taxes tor city expenses and special assessments. This Is the true way to relieve the farmers of this state. It is the one way to put a value back Into land. In this way we can be the first state 1.1 the union to clear our cltlea or our estltute unemployed. Then peo plo of moderate means f-om every other state will come to Oregon to get away from "the depression." They will come and spend money arriv ing and building. Oregon being flrat to exempt shelter value from taxa tion and correct an economic error of long standing will get the adver tising that comes to the explorer In a new field. It would be news. The next article will show why the state should be especially Interested In shelter tax exemption. J. C. BARNES. Marshall-Smlth-Leonard, cor.
