During the week ending 8atur- day December 9 I had the pleasure of calling a t the following farm homes. Home were away, others ont in the fields.

Ed Franey, Mike Franoy, Ed Bryant, Rosell Clubb Bert Bryant F rank M ydler, H enry Falck, Wm. Both, J . F. Freehlll and Boy Par- re tt

The rain , enow and freeze up during the past week, kept me In­doors for three days. The roads were sim ply Impassible In many places; washouts, roughness, and slippery passages confronted all kinds of vehicles. I t was particu­larly hard on buggies, and rather disagreeable to all m akes of auto­mobiles. Many a driver said some hard th ings along the tough roads, and they sorely had reason to grumble.

The w eather also prevented masons, carpenters, and other builders, from continuing their work and from finishing up work they bad previously begun.

I promised several people to call on them , but on account of the weather conditions and general bad roads, It wag sim ply Impossi­ble wherefore I apologias to those I missed, b u t wllkpall on them a t my very first opportunity . so for the present please excuse.

As usual those whom I found a t home, extended me the kindest hoepltallty and were glad to aee the Plalndealer-m an. lira . Ed. Bryant Invited me to a dish of real southern K entucky corn bread, with bacon gravy poured ott-r It, which waa so tru ly good, tha t It made mo feel, as If I was “ Way down Month in D ixie.” And the

whole cooking was done Inside of anybodyfifteen m inutes. Gan

beat It?I t was Indeed som ething unuaal

daring th is bad w eather, to see a sonthw est farm er huaklng corn, and In between shooting rabbits and squirrels. And he setm ed highly delighted a t his pleasing vocation and said to me “ Myron, som eday I ’ll Invite you down thla way to a Hasenpfoffer-Bagout” and I believe I will thankfully ac­cept the Inv ita tion . Mrs. H arry J . Walsh b a sk la d ly Invited me to a “ Boast Goo^e Party ” to be held a t her residence on Chrlatm as Day when she expects her m other and sister from Ghtcago, to be among the gueete. No doubt a happy tim e is ahead for those Invited. Her genial husband H arry will act as the m aster of ceremoutae, and be “ chief carver” on th is oc­casion. A t th is tim e of the year, yon buy m any th ings, gooda, wear­ing apparel and G hrlstm ae pres­ents, why not bay som ething good tke year round, haudy and en- lightning for youraelf, your fam ily and thoae who v isit yon. Now is the appropriate tim e to b eg li^ tbe New year righ t. Subscribe for your local-paper the old reliable “ Jha tsw orth P lalndealer,” and know w hat Is going on, In and out of town. Don’t forget our shop­keepers and m erchan t!, who ac­comm odate you all the year round. “ Live and let live” Is a good true Am erican principle. I will repeat w hat I said laat year. A good th ing Is alw ays worth re­peating. We cant nelp disagree­ing som etim es about some things, but don’t bo a knocker.

QUESTION UP TO SUPREME COURT

Tax Amendment Declared Car­ried; 80-Cent Tax Rate Is

Adopted.

MUST MAKE UP BIS DEFICITT a x Le g is la t io n W il l Be One of the

M o st Im p o rtan t Sub je cts Before

T h e C o m in g Session of the

Genera l A ssem bly.

S pringfie ld—Revision of untlquuted tax ing laws of Illinois w as inude possi­ble when the s ta te canvassing bourd ru led th a t the tax am endm ent to the constitu tion w as adopted a t the recent election.

In so acting m em bers of the board adm itted they w ere doubtful ou the legul issues Involved, but believed uu opportun ity should lie given to get the m u tte r before the suprem e court.

Following action on th is proposi­tion the s tu te officials resolved them ­selves into tlie stu te tux commission nnd voted to fix the tux ru te for the com ing year a t 80 cents on the $100 valuution, th e h ighest since the adop­tion of tlie p resen t constitu tion in 1870.

T he unusually high tax ra te is nec­essary to m ake up a deficit of $3,000,- 000 in prospect because of tHe 55-cent ra te fixed a year ago. T he highest ra te in the h isto ry of the s tn te was 70 cents, w hich w as fixed In the sec­ond year of the D unne adm inistra tion follow ing an Inadequate ra te the pre­ceding year.

T lie question which caused the con­troversy over the adoption of the tax am endm ent w as w hether u ma­jo rity of all votes cast a t the elec­tion w as necessary . T he am endm ent failed by 15,000 votes of receiving such a m ajority , but did obtain n m a­jo rity of the votes enst for m em bers o f the general assem bly.

A ttorney G eneral Lueey, who is a m em ber of tlie s ta te canvassing board, held in n verbal opinion th a t a m ajo rity of all votes ca st w as nec­essary . Mr. I.ucey rem ained away from th e m eeting.

A unanim ous decision w as given by the th ree • m em bers presen t. S ta te T re asu re r Andrew Russel, S ta te Au­d ito r Jam es J . B rady and S ecretary of S tn te Lewis G. Stevenson.

B. A. E ckhurt, chairm an of th e tax am endm ent cam paign committee, urged the board to give a fuvorable ru ling in o rder to get the m a tte r in court. O thers strongly opposed the proposition.

I.egnl experts take tlie view tha t th e question of tlie passage of tlie ta x am endm ent cannot be taken De- fore the suprem e court until a f te r h ills basts! on its provisions a re passed by the legislature. Under the am endm ent tlie leg isla ture may clas­sify personal p roperty for purisises of taxation , fixing u different ru te for each class.

Tux legislation will lie one of tlie m ost Im portan t sub jects before the com ing session. W hatever m eusures m ay be passed will be nullified if the suprem e cou rt holds the am endm ent in­valid.

G overnor Dunne, S ta te A uditor B rady and S ta te T reasu re r Russel com pose the s ta te tax ra te commis­sion. which decided upon u ra te of 80 cen ts for 1917.

T he ra te w as apportioned as fol­low s: Public schools, 16*4 ce n ts ; uni­versity , 10 c e n ts ; general revenue, 53% cents.

Mr. Russel, who is a Republican, nnd hud objected w hen Governor D unne and S tn te A uditor Brady fixed a ra te of 55 cen ts a y ea r ago, w anted the ra te to be 85 cents th is year. Gov­erno r D unne preferred to keep It dow n to 70 or 75 cents. The resu lt wus a com prom ise. j

G overnor D unne gave out a s ta te ­m ent re la tive to the tax ra te in which he said G overnor-elect Lowden had been consulted and th a t the la tte r had recom m ended n rn te o' 90 cents. T he s ta tem en t fo recasts n deficit In the spring of 1917, due to the decrease in luherltunce tax collections, higher p rices for supplies, nnd th e restoration of vetoed appropriations by the action of the suprem e court lu the Fergus su its.

16,000 w ards, from now until the mid d ie of April, when the 1917 tax money begins to come In. How all these th ings are to be done lu the Interven­ing m ouths nobody lu the retiring D unne adm inistra tion knows and no­body in the incoming Lowden adm inis­tra tio n knows.

U nder the constitu tion the limit of the stute'8 borrow ing power in cases o l em ergency is $250,000—about enough to keep things going two duys.

T hree or four millions will be need­ed to opera te institu tions and depart­m ents from Ja n u a ry until April. The deficit thus created , providing the in­stitu tions and departm en ts m anage to worry along on credit, will be tacked on to the appropriations fo r the first biennial period of the Lowden regime nnd will compel & corresponding in­crease in tlie tax rate . Usually there is a little left over.

Folltlclaus exhib it grave concern. Among those m ost concerned are Len Smull, trea su re r-e lec t; S ta te T reasurer Andrew Russel, who will be the new au d ito r; G overnor Dunne, who, with R ussel aud A uditor Bray, constitute the s ta te tax board, which fixes the r a t e ; S peaker David E. Shanahan, who m ust shoulder appropriation worries lo the house, and S enator E. C. C urtis of G ran t Bark, who probably will succeed him self as chairm an of the senate ap ­propria tion com m ittee.

Tlie high cost of necessities is given ns one of the strongest contributing fuctors in the im poverishm ent of tlie s ta te . A nother wus the m obilization of the en tire Nutlonul G uard for its tr ip to the border. U sually the guard 's appropriation is not all spent. Tills y ea r everything credited to it has been eaten up by P residen t W ilson’s order sending tlie boys to Texas.

W hen tlie last dollur is gone It will lie impossible for ii cred ito r of tlie s ta te even to obtain a m arker. The law forbids tlie aud ito r draw ing w ar­ra n ts oil tlie trea su re r w hen there is no money to m eet them. Nor can the s ta le legally sell w arran ts.

"W hen Illinois goes broke under the p resen t constitu tion it goes broke righ t," said Len Small. "Coni lias gone up and Hour has gone up.

"In K ankakee the man who had the contract for supplying coni to the s ta te Insane asylum failed lu business. The institu tion has had to go into th j open m arket and buy its coal a t prices g rea t­ly higher than tlie contract figure.

“T he N ational Guard activ ities could not liuve been anticipated ."

Nearly every hour of the day was spent In a service of some kind. On uccount of sickness and bad roads, many had to be numbered with the Shut Ins. Perhaps you can join us next '•unday.

We enjoyed a very fine Epworth League service. We took in 8 new members and arranged for next Sunday n ig h t’s service. Mrs. G. <Y, liutledge is leader and will a r ­range a program of Interest. He sure and be there.

The preparation for the Xm as program Is progressing tine and we aro assured a fine time on Hun- day evening. Dec. 24. The pupils of tbe Sunday ."school are anxious to do the work assigned, i'hu committees are doing their u tm ost to mako this Xm as a happy event.

We want a Record Breaking Sunday School next Sunday and hope th a t many will rally to our high standard , l'be sermons for the preaching services will have the Christm as tone and spirit. The sermon them es are.

"I am happy.”Still he w aited, w atching her w ith

hungry w istful ln tentnoss."You will go hack to E ngland.”"Yes. I think so.""F arq u h n r Is w orthy of you. You

will begin a new life. If I could I would pray for your happiness to­gether.

"I thank you, S tephen."She heard the door close softly , n e

had gone. She felt ns though w ith his passing the cu rta in had dropped upon the first g reat ac t of her life. And. now a new ac t w in to begin—a lonelier one. l i e had taken w ith hint Ills own dream of It; she knew th a t ho would cling to her phantom happiness ns to a Inst com fort, and she had had no h ea rt to te a r It from him. All happi­ness Is m irage. B ut to the d ream er the dream Is reality . He would sleep In peace. She w ent on w riting. It w as very qu ie t In the little room. The drow sy hush of m idday seemed to creep In through the half-open shu tters on rays of sunsh ine which shifted slowly till they rested on the sheet of closely-w ritten paper. Hhe covered her face with her hands as though dazzled. In the peaceful silence there w as a sound like a sm othered cry of pain.

The door leading Into the Inner room opened and closed. 8be lifted her head and w en t on w riting . H er hand slioo i/ bu t when F arq u h n r stood beside her she looked up, and her face W iis w hite aiid tearless. ‘

“ I t Is nearly iSnlshed.” he said a l­m ost beneath his breath. "She Is try ­ing to ask for you.”

"1 will come a t once.”“ W alt one m om ent I w an ted to

leave thenFulone together fo r a little, u un^rstaudr*

"Yes, of course.”Both w ere silent. She studied him

w istfully . W ithout the ragged beard and lu these clothes he seem ed once m ore the m an as she had known him In the London days—the reckless, head­strong soldier, w ithout restra in t, w ith ­out fear. Only as she looked closer she saw the g rave ennobling lines which men g a th er on the road through suffering. Suddenly he lifted his eyes to hers. They puzzled, alm ost f r ig h t­ened her In the ir dogm atic com posure.

“My fa th e r goes south tonight w ith the troops." he said. “ He will suppress the risings and m ake trea ties, and the w ork oil his g rea t road will he finished.T hat Is his own wish. We have spoken together and I have understood, as I know yon will. W e have each to w ork out our own salvation In our own way.O ut there In the d esert he may find pence."

"A nd you?""M y pardon and release w ere con­

firmed an hour ago. It w as Ills own re q u e s t and they could not refuse. In a few w eeks I shall go back to E ng­land. M.v fa th e r has given me the rough m em oranda of Ills plans. I shall work them out In d e ta il—If possible to perfection. They w ill he offered In due course to the governm ent. 1 hope th a t even now I m ay serve my coun­try ."

"I know you w ill.” The old Are flashed Into her voice, bu t she did not look fit him. She felt the piercing eyes on her face; they seemed to reach the Innerm ost thought in her. They silenced an em pty p h rase th a t she w as forcing to h e r lips.

"P erh ap s I am d istu rb ing you.” he ! as said abruptly . "You are w riting le t­te rs?"

"Yes.""To w hom ?”She looked up w ith a touch of fierce

defin nee."H ave you a righ t to ask?”"I don’t know — I am nfra ld—““Of whom —o f w hat?""O f you—of m.v happiness."She w as silent uu Instant, ba ttling

with w eakness."The le tte r Is to you, R ichard.”"M ay 1 read It?""Not now .”He took it from her, and she did not

resist. T he roughness in Ills voice and m anner shook her as no gentleness, no pleading could have done. This mail j was indeed nfra ld . and this fear, linked with th a t g rea t streng th of purpose, w as at once te rrib le and pathetic. She did not move, and he read the le tte r to 1 liO end in silence. Then he tore It de­liberately across and across, and the pieces fluttered to the ground.

“ I know nil th a t—I guessed It.” he said bru tally . "Y'et out the re on the p la teau you told me tha t you loved me.”

She rose and faced him."I do love you," she said firmly. "I

am not asham ed to tell you so—even now, for love like mine cannot hu rt you. B ut lu those days It w as nil d if­ferent. I believed tlint we were equals —th a t we w ere tw o ou tcasts who had erred , nut m eanly or wickedly, but recklessly, ntul th a t we w ere fightlug our w ay back to the tiling we had lost, j You w ere my com rade in exile, ntul I | w as yours. T hat w as w hat I believed. | „n(j tj)e cof&n B ut It w as not true. You had lost s tran g e r 's flag, nothing—and now your exile Is over."

"A nd so you m eant to desert me? n a d fa te not b rought me back here. I should have had to hun t the world over for you.”

“ I thought th a t you would under­s ta n d —th a t It w as ju s t .”

"W h at? T h a t when T w as dying, hunted and friendless, a veritab le w orthless scam p, ns you believed, you condescended to love me. to go forw ard shoulder to shoulder w ith me and m ake life w orth living. Now th a t I have come Into my own, th a t I nirpear more w orthy of happiness, 1 am to he left to m arch the desert alone. Is th a t tice?”

"R ichard!”" Iln v e n 't I had enough of the desert

—haven 't you had enough? If you leave me now-—" H is voice steadied. He smiled w ryly. " I 'm not threatening, dear. By th is tim e I have learned your lesson; there s h a n 't he any more th row ­ing down of w eapons. W hatever hap­pens— w hether you s tan d by me or not — I shall go on. B u t It w ill he a hard going on—and It m ight have been a glory.”

She tu rned to him w ith a gestu re of helpless pain.

"R ichard—my d ea r—don 't you un­derstan d ? I t is fe a r of dim m ing tha t glory th a t d rives me aw ay from you.W hat am I? W hat should I be to you?A d rag —a heavy burden.

gether tw o years ago w hen she helped a desperate , in tox icated boy up Mrs. F errle r 's s ta irs— Incidentally back to leason and se lf-respec t F rom th a t night we have been com rades.” The grim laughter In his eyes faded. He held out his hand as though to take hers, then let It drop, leaving her free. "And from th a t night I have loved G abrlelle Sm ith.” be w en t on gently. "T ha t w as som ething you did not qu ite realize when you m eant to leave me. U nder one shape or ano ther 1 have love*! you all my life. Only w hen you first cam e I did not recognize you. You hid behind the little gray shadow of yourself and I followed the m irage over the d e s e r t And I suffered badly —until I found you, the reality of all I believed In—the oasis. I)o you think I am going to let you tu rn me out Into the loneliness and desolation? You know th a t I shall n o t G abrlelle.” H e pnused an In s ta n t w atch ing her. He saw the light daw n behind the m ist of pain, and then he took her hands and held them w ith a Joyful strength . “ You saved my life tw ice." he said. “ And you saved som ething g rea te r than my life— my faith . T h a t Is a bond be­tw een us no one— not even you—enn break. W e belong to each other ns a m an and w om an belong to each other perhaps once in a generation . You dare not deny a nnlon so glorious, so sanctified."

She looked a t him w ith s teady radl-unt eyes.

“ Do you believe th a t? ”“As you do.”"I have not dared to believe until

now.”And now ?”“You have given me courage to be­

lieve my own heart. R ichard."He did not kiss her or, for a mo­

ment, speak. Y’et w hat then passed be­tw een them w as beyond words, above all tenderness. H e led her a t last to­w ard the Inner room.

“Come w ith me now, Gabrlelle*”W ithin the hush had deepened. All

life, all feeling seem ed to d raw to­gether an aw ed expectancy about the little figure lying quietly In th e m idst of the g rea t bed. Even the wig, still aw ry, could not ta k e from the peace­ful d ignity of the sm all tired fac<\ be­neath. A hand, heavily Jeweled, rest ed on the shoulder of a m an who knelt beside her. H er eyes had been closed

G abrlelle and F a rq u h a r entered. They opened now nnd passed from one to the other. In th a t m om ent they I looked very blue—-almost young. She | tried to speak and Instead sm iled fain t- j ly, apologetically ,-w ith a touch of w ry j self-m ockery th a t passed, leaving only , the quiet happluess. As though grown suddenly w eary, the Jeweled hand slipped from the m an 's shoulder, and he took It and bowed his head upon It.

" In a little ,while, my w ife— a little while.”

H er eyes closed In peaceful assent, j They did not open ngaln. To those j w atch ing It seem ed th a t the room had ! grown darker. A little half-d raw n j sigh hovered on the silence and then j drifted ou t on a ray of sunsh ine Into the full d ay lig h t

Deep shadow s hid the w atching po rtra its , but In the m idst, on e ither hand of the raised coffin, tw o g rea t candles th rew the ir light Into the darkness and on the tw o men who. with d raw n sw ords and sigh tless eyes, kept guard.

Colonel D estlnn drew softly nearer to w here a w om an heavily veiled, knelt in p rayer. Before her w ere tw o w reaths. One bore an Im perial crown, the o ther n sim ple Inscription—

“To O ur Com rade— Goetz von Ber- llehingen."

As D estlnn approached the veiled w om an looked up. n e stood quietly be­side her.

“Y our highness, he died bravely. He w as w orthy of hls race.”

"I thank you, colonel."H e left her. n e w en t ou t ngnln Into i

the evening sunshine. An orderly held I Jus- hls horse In read iness and four hun- |

“ In colum n—fo rw ard —m arch!”They sw ung out of the ga tes—out

Into the road. H alf SIdl-bel-Abbes ran a t the ir heels. On the o u tsk irts the general w ith hls su ite w aited to give them Godspeed.

“R etu rn In honor, my children!”The band crashed ou t a trium phan t

"Toujours, m a fol,' le s i c an dps—” Singing, they left the g litte r o f ligh ts

And before him lay the d esert and the n ight shadows, which w ere b a t a prom ise of an o th er day.
