In their efforts to favor the millionaire tax payers, some of the Republican Senators havc been having a hard time. Some of the Senators thought the income surtax rate on big business should be increased so thai the burden of taxation would not fait so heavily upon those whose income and whose business is smn'l. It was urged by Senators who did not wish to serve profiteers and the men of enormous incomes thai incomes over $1200,000 should be taxed fifty per cent, instead of thirty-two per cent. The higher the tax on big business, the Ums the tax on men whose earnings were below the $200,000 limit. The Democratic Senators, of course, opposed the reduction that would favor a few rich men who least need lelief from the tax. On the other hand the advocates of the lower tax rate claim that if the higher rate is imposed 'the big rich' will invest in bonds and stocks that are not taxable, so there you are. MEMORIAL TO A WAR HERO A Boston newsboy, who died beside his gun in France had a memorial tablet erected to his memory ana William J. Bryun made the address. The boy was only 15 years old. THE LATEST FROM OLD KENTUCKY A news item is to the effect thai John Shell, of Greasy Creek, Ken tucky, has reached the age of ldo years. Mr. Shell must have imagined that he was living in Biole timet when it was quite common to live beyond the century mark. Mr. Shell wl.en interviewed by a newspaper man and asked if hi didn't think that was a long time to live said: "I didn't mind the first 125 years at all. They just tlew by before i knew it, but the last eight years havi dragged a bit. 1 guess mebbe it was the war and the peace negotiations. To most folks a war is quite an event, and it gives 'em more or less of a thrill, but when you get to be ovet 125 years of age they bore you. Anu all this pace talk, disarmament chatter and right-ol*-small-nations ens cussion is old stuff to me.'' Here is wishing John Shell may live to be as old as Adam. HURRY THEM UP, SENATOR Senator Harris, of Georgia, has been going for the Federal Farm Loan Board to get that body to hurry up the farm loans. A committee wa. appointed to bring about means foi speeding up the operation of the various Federal Land Banks, so as to handle more applications and provide .anore funds for farmers. It does appear that there is entirely too much red tape and a snail like tardiness in making farm loans. MORE TROUBLE FOR GERMANY Germany is having internal trouble accordinir to renorts that are cab led to the United States. An etfoit is being made to divide the country into two parts. The plan is said to be fostered by the French in order to separate Bavaria from Germany. It is also proposed to establish a Catholic kingdom with Hungary and Havana and later to include Austria. In the meantime a 'urge part of Germany is getting down to work, factories bu ,? with big orders and industries of .ill k;ml loure lr.i g. With Germany settling down to business in order to pay her immense war debts and put the vor.ntiy on a better financial condition France tan well afford to l"t her late antagonist work out her destiny, witho it interference. SPELF-RELIANCE GOES BANKRUPT Thin Blood Saps En?rgy, Glide's Pepto-Mangan Rebuild* the Blood Wrestling with a weakened condition of the blood is a desperate struggle. Thin, weary blood deprives the body of energy and causes a playedout feeling not unlike utter exhaustion. A man with weak blood has not the full use of his powers. lie lacks decision, and vacillates until he loses self-confidence. Some men, and women too, go falteriing along for months scarcely realizing that they need Gude's PeptoMangan, the blood-builder. But when they have taken it for a while, what a difference there is in the feelings. The old-time vigor and the red-blood hue of good health return. The new rich blood gets to work, building, fortifying, lifting spirit up to its normal standard. Physicians have prescribed Gude's Pepto-Mangan for years as a blood-builder. Druggists sell it in liquid and tablet form. Look for the name "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the package. Advertisement. -1^ m . .. , i :11 < i ? (Continued from last Week) CHAPTER VIII. A Friend at the McAlpIn?The D?(jger Hatpin. His unexpected question startled me. In a way It was an odd echo of i lie vague suspicion wnicn una neen pursuing me ever since the eurly afternoon. Somewhere there was a mysterious hand operating?but whose hand? "A Russian Jew?" I questioned. "Why should you ask that?" "Well. I'll tell you. Maybe it don't amount to nothin* an' then again It might give us the right steer.

So I 1 didn't think It was no penitentiary ' sentence te pry it open, usiif a hit of steam to loosen up the flap. Rut I ddln't find much, only two lines si>elled out in print letters. 'Where you met K, eight tomorrow. Don't fall; important. I. W.' That was every d?n word. Do you make anything of that?" "Yes. I do," I said heartily. "It's part of this Job. I'll explain after a bit. What did you do then?" "Sealed it up, an' give It hack to Joe. 1 didn't see no harm in it. Do you happen to know who this 'I. W.' stands for?" "1 can make a mighty good guess, Oostigan?a Russian Jew, all right; Ivan Waldron." The scowl on his face remained tlxed; evidently the name was unknown. "Don't know the fellow? Likely enough not; he doesn't operate in your line, hut he is a crook just the same. 1 never saw him myself, hut have heard about him for t* Jong while ?never anything good. He's an agitator. an anarchist, a revolutionary orator; one of those lings who fight society and government, and hate everybody hut themselves, a loud-mouthed nuisance?" C'ostigan's month was open. "Say," he interrupted, "what's that kind of guy got to do with (ieorge Harris?" "He's got this to do with him?he's out after the coin. He saw some easy .....I t,,i t i,i*n 11 v fo.w.l.a.l mil fnv it. He was the first one to get onto this particular game. They were using liiii). this Chilean gang, to puiJ their chestnuts out of the tire, atnl that's how he tumbled to this hunch i?f money floating about, begging somebody to pick it up. He bad wormed himself Inside, and knew it was com ing. Rut he didn't have nerve enough to tackle the game alone. He wanted somebody else to run ail the risk, and then turn over his share. Do you get it now?" "Sure; he blew the thing to Har rls." "In a way?yes. He sent for him to come back from England, hot without explaining just what Ids graft was. tin the way over Harris picked up another end of the same net, and went after it himself. He wasn't under any obligation to Waldron, and preferred to play his hand aJone." "And flic Russian lias found that | out. and now be butts In." "That's the way I'd read tlie cards. Cost! gan." He ?at silent a long while, and I lit a clgajr and wafdhed him. Ids great bands closing and unclosing, as be slowly reviewed the situation.

There ain't any eause for us to butt In yet. Tills" is his frame, as I see It. If It was you, Mr. Daly," he added grimly, "you wouldn't thank nobody to shove In uninvited?would yer now?" I was unconvinced by his argument, yet knew of no way of answering It. He must have read my predicament In the expression of my face. "It'U coine out all right, Daly," he volunteered. "I know George, an* he ain't the kind to be outwitted hy no Rosalan Jew.

You leave me your telephone number an' If anything happens I'll let you know." 1 took a taxi hack to the hotel, feeling restless and dissatisfied, yet unable to decide on any definite action. As 1 asked for my key^ the clerk handed it over, together with a can! In the hox. which I read in bewilderment. "Mr. Philip Severn, CM45. Call Hotel McAlpln." Could this be Hnr- | ris. endeavoring to reach me privately with some message? Or was it merely an acquaintance who had learned of my presence In the city? I found the McAlpin excliange number In the telephone hook and gained connection, my pulses throbbing with excitement. A woman's voice answered. "The McAlpin." ' This Is Philip Severn. Yon left a call here at the hotel for me." '"Oh. yes. Mr. Severn. I'm requested to ask yon to come at once to the parlor of the McAlpin. on tlie mezzanine floor?a friend wishes to see you." "Rut really, I do not recognize your voice." "Which is not altogether strange, as I am only the clerk on this floor. I am making this request in behalf of a guest." "A n'.an >r a woman, may I ark?" Sla 1 Mgliod good-humoredly. "Really. I am not at liberty to say. You will coma?" "Yes, of course- -" Before I had really finished my sentence the connection had been severed. However, there was no doubt now in my mind hut that it was Harris. I took tlie subway and was at the entrance within twenty minutes, eager to learn what had actually transpired during tlie past twelve hours. Without using the elevator I passed up the marhle stairs to the mezzanine floor, pausing in uncertainty at the top to look about in search of some familiar face. A number of people were congregated about the railed opening looking down into the lobby, while others were scattered around on convenient divans, or at small writing desks. From the recesses of the ladies' room at the left came the strains of piano music, and the sound of a soprano voice singing. The song ceased to a clapping of hands. The faces I was able to distinguish were all strange and I moved forward in search. I had attained the opposite side of the room before I crjuc to s hn!t, soddenly arrested by a vision as starlllng as unexpected. Leaning over the rail, gazing Intently down on the jostling crowd to the lobby below, apparently unconscious of all else, was Marie flessler There eould he no doubt ; 1 I ^ I Stood Motionless, Looking at Her Intently. stood motionless, looking at Iter intently, satisfying myself tliat I could not deceived.

There Wits a second of hesitation, barely perceptible, before she ventured a step forward, her lips smiling, her gloved hand lieJd out. 'You were very nice to come," she exclaimed quietly. "Especially In response to so ungracious a message of invitation." "It was you then who sent for me?" "Of course. Did you Imagine some one else?" "I came rather blindly," I admitted, unwilling to mention Harris. "Your messenger refused to satisfy my curiosity even to the extent of telling the sex of the one calling." She laughed, quite at her ease now, and scominglv amused. "Sl|e wns duly wurnwl. I confess I fenced yon might hesitate to respond If yon once knew what awaited you." "No fear of that."

THE HEROIC DEED OF "OLD MAN" RICHARDS One of the hottest Indian fights la frontier history was the Battle of Adobe Walla In the Texas Paahandle I"! In 1874. The Adobe Walla consisted ; of aetrerig hots, sad two or three stores surrounded by a ctockade, and It was headquarters for a party of bun term- who killed buffaloes. - The Indiana saw with dismay the destruction caused by the white men. They resolved to destroy the Adobe Walls and kill tha hunters before they had wiped out the vast hards of bison. - Early on the morning of June 27 a I war party of Comanches, Ktowas and I Cheyennes, under the leadership of I Chief Quannah of the Comanches, i swept down upon the Adobe Walls. The ouiraio nuntera were awake, however, and as tlie Indians charged the white men with their heavy Sharps buffalo guns poured a deadly fire Into their midst. The Indians attacked again and again, but each time they were beaten "^ack with heavy loss. Nor did the hunters escape unharmed. Three of them were klHed hi the first attack, did In one of the stores a young man named Thurston was shot through the lungs. Presently his cry of "Water! WaterV was heard above i the din of fighting. The nearest water was BO yards ' away, where s pump stood In the unprotected open. In this same store was an old scout called "Old Man** Richards. He heard young Thurston's or. "I reckon now," said "Old Man" Richards, "I'll go fetch a bucketful." He took a bucket and tossed It through the window. A frightened dog . that had been hiding near by followed htm, whining. Indian bulleta cut up the ground all about them. The pump was slow. It took two minutes to get the water started from the suncracked spout. The pump was struck a dozen times as Richards worked the handle. He pumped on without raising his head. The dog was shot down at hla feet. A bullet tore his- hat from his head. Still he pumped on. At last the bucket was filled. He picked up his hat, placed It on his head, took up the bucket and brought It back to the atore without spilling a drop. There was not a scratch on hlra. "It's sure some hot out there In the suq," said "Old Man" Richards as he gave the dying Thurston a drink. Picking up his rtfle, he took bis post at a wV.fow again without Indicating by word or act that he knew he bad juet come out or the jows of death. How's This?
