not trust tlmtelt to drive.
Their start had been early; to
much had happened In so short a
time! They would reach New York
In early evening, when people, (or
the most past happy people, hurried
to theatres. Bob had not eaten lunch
eon, Marsha realized and wltb wor

was a tact she did not consider.
He lowered his paper. Her heart

cloaked in ber mott becoming dress.
Dusk made the air hazy and soft.
Lights, which would grow harsh In
another hour or two, shrill from be
ing backed by black, were now gen
tle looking as if they bung behind
layers ot moist, brown-gray chiffon.
Motors, which were sumptuous In
the light ot day, now became buge
shooting things with flashing eyes,
or, brilliantly lit (rames (rom which
women In velvet oloaks, or soft fur
wraps, looked Indolently out upon
the passing throng.
The buses, those lumbering ele
phants of traffic, stopped at curbs,
then, after a heavy Jerk or two, went
ponderously on.
People hurried. It was the going
out and the getting home hour. And
the faces ot most beld the look of
happiness and expectation. The air.
wblch was crisp, added to the feel

BOB absorbed It stupidly. Through

SALEM, Ore., July 38. yp)
"License and control by the com
mission of the manufacture, sale dis
tribution, use and advertising of liq
uor by private parties constitute the
exercise of essential governmental
functions," the Internal revenue bu
reau said, and admitted that "taxes
and license fees collected In the su
pervision and regulation of such ac
tivities do not constitute Income or
profit which Is subject to federal
Income tax."
This would ellmlat from taxation
gallonage fees and licenses collected
from wine and beer dispensers and
breweries.
The federal ruling observed that
"police power is and remains a gov
ernmental power, and applied to bus
iness activities Is the power to regu
late those activities, not to engage
In carrying them on."

"No, of course not."
"I'll avsde explanation for the
presont. Then when tbe matter Is
decided, our course ot action, 1
mean. I'll tell her the truth."
Marsha said nothing; he glanced
once Into her eyes. They hurt him
anew: tbe hurt waa a pin prick In
sumbed flesh. She was probably
sorry to have knocked blm as aba
must know she had, be decided.
He heard her say "Bob" In a
muted, frightened way that made
her aeem a child. Yet again he low
ered tbu paper. "Whore are we go
log?" she asked.
"I don't know. Would Murray
Hall suit you? It's Quiet. Wo want
to avoid seeing people we know, of
course."
Her chin raised, her face stif
fened. "It will suit ma as well as
anywhere," aha answered.
CHE stared then from a misted
window and upon a darkening
world. In tholr many talks Bob bad
told ber of how be. with his mother,
had often atopped at that hotel
while the bouse was being opened
or closed, or refurbished and of how,
there, there was a reassuring feel
ing of solidity and of old New York
and of yeara lived well.
There was Irony In stopping there.
But she realized that cruelty bad
had no part In bis naming ot tbe
place; that he waa Incapable of
such cruelty. He had mentioned It
because he knew It well; because
the stricken, dulled, grasp blindly,
the first suggestion that Is near to
hand.
Bob was conscious of a dull anger
at himself as they rode up town. Ha
should have thought ot where they
would put up: It was awkward to
head where thev headed. Yet what
difference? Nothing could change,
lighten or Intensify the situation.
It had Ita bold, black, solid form.
that be had Hungered tor, toi
months, and that It didn't matter
The hour was one which he, a trifle
ashamed of his want tor borne and
his love of It, had when an expatri
ate remembered constantly.
Small flashes of home had come
upon blm at odd times, sometimes
while he wrote reports and made
his requirements to the New York
oOlce,
Then In the candle flame be would
see a wavering picture, and through
It feel the cold air. And that bad
made the pull. The pull to get back;
to feel It. smell It, love It. And be
had come, and then Marsha; and be
hadn't aeen .or felt anything else
snd now
Well, It waa almost over, and he
would go back to bis work, carrying
a new set ot thoughts he could not
call them dreams and the crippling
burden of disillusionment.
. "We're almost there," he hoard,
and answered with "Yea."
"What were you smiling at?" aba
ventured timidly.
"I was thinking ot a chap I had
on a amall Job near Cblbuahua; he
used to spend his evenings waiting
for those big spiders that come so
thickly at some seasons, and when
they ventured out. he used to pour
candle grease on them wblch ha
kept hot for the purpose In a saucer.
They were nailed down In that way
all over the floor. I almost broke
my neck from skidding acrosa the
place."
"How ghastly!"
"Oh, 1 don't know. It Is less ghast
ly than soma ot the things men do
when they sre alone too much and
too far from home.
"Yes I know, and appetites and
dissipation one can understand. But
that aort of thing "
She hoped he would go on. It waa
the first time ha had talked with
ber; It made her swallow convul
lively, and she bed to clasp ber
bands In order to keep them where
they belonged.
