tould unearth the Information be

I Luck favored him. Silver-haired
tnd plnk-jowled, behind the famil

I "Grand to see you, my boy." He
stretched out bis hand. "We're on
the crest of the ware, as doubtless
rou'va heard."
"I've beard notblnc, sir.

''Whose estate do they
storm anyhow. But where have you
been hiding? I suppose someone's
napped you up no chance ot re
engaging you?"
"Snapped me up!" Cllve laughed,
his confidence returning. "I'm a
white-collar man. Employment
tgencles don't exist for people of
my class. 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's kind ot yon,
ilr, to believe that I'd been snapped

' Removing bis spectacles, the old
jachelor polished the lenses.
i "Ton surprise me. Have you been
timing too hlght't

luctlons." i "But yon must have received

f "One. The salary's twice what
rou paid mo." vllve waited for an
uploslen.
1 "While you wera with me," Mr.
Cleasby continued polishing, "you
were worth twice what I paid you."
t Cllve gasped.
"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.
'Ill now they've not grown much
beyond that though Judging by the
bid they've made for you they're In
tending to expand." 1-

"There Is a tendency." she said, "to

"The competitive straggle with
men has boon so long a part ot wom

has taken the energy they should
have put Into business. We could
eliminate the element of wasted ef

Pushing back bis chair, Cllve rose
with an effort. V'k''!
"Thank you, sir."- "
. "Well, don't act rashly. Ten
thousand's a fine salary.' It you turn
them down, which I shouldn't tblnk
Is likely, keep In touch with me.
We might come to an arrangement"
For a few mora minutes Mr.
Cleasby detained him. , y
"How's the marriage?"- iJ
"Couldn't be better."
"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.

Sales Tax With Shelter

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.
It la my opinion taxes win not be
reduced In the Immediate future by
economies put Into effect through
salary reductions or through tbe abol
ishment of some of the leas essential
state, county and city activities, tor

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

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.
