The gross income tax measure! enacted by the legislature will j alarm many and may prove burd- j ensome to seme but if it clears the! way for better government at less ! cost and makes possible a property tax of $1.50 or less it will be worth some inconvenience. After all if ■ we get squared away so the people will have something left after paying taxes with which to buy, it may be easier than we now believe !' possible. If the law proves burd11 i \ ensome it will of course be repeal-1 ’ ed by the next legislature and we I 1 have faith enough in Governor Me- ‘ Nutt to feel that he would call a special session if shown that an injury was being caused. The next big political event after the city election and perhaps to be held on the same day or close thereto, will be a general election s in Indiana for the purpose of chocs- 1 ing delegates to a convention which will decide whether or not Indiana will vote for the repeal of 1 11he 18th amendment, contemplat-J I ■ l‘ ing as now seems assured that the 1 , , law enacted in the General Assembly. will pass. This provides for one delegate for each 10,000 popu-i' I 1 i lation or fraction thereof, which if will give Adams county three dele-U gates. Candidates must announce! ■ how they will vote and voters will I 'choose whom they wish to repreI sent them. While sentiment seems favorable to a repeal, we may it the past is any criterion, expect a campaign that will be rather lively. Thirty-six states must vote in favor of the reapeal to make it effective. Democratic committee men and women will meet tomorrow after-1 noon to organize by electing a city chairman, vice-chairman, secretary and treasurer. The Republicans i uid this some three weeks ago, so that we may expect soon to have the announcements of those who desire to fill the city offices. Municipal elections are important for the rnayux. and his council have many opportunities to assist the community and in various ways. We have been fortunate here in the past and as a result Decatur is in an excellent condition, with no debts and with money in the treasury. At the same time we haitc improved in numerous ways, own one of the finest plants in the middle west, boast of fine streets and the best street lighting to be found in any small city in America. Wo hope that the very be.st candidates will be chosen and elected. The organization meeting tomorrow will result in the selection of capable officials who will conduct a clean campaign and that’s important too.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE Af.er supper Wolfe had lit his pipe and gone out for a tramp along one of the high roads. He wanted te be alone with himself, to thrash things out, to get a grip of the immediate future. He had taken the Wannington road past the Lombardy poplars by old Crabbe’s house, with “Pardons” a black mass in the moonlight on the opposite hillside, and white mists hanging about the valley of the W raith. The situation was about as desperate as any adventurous “dragon slayer” could desire. Wolfe doubted whether he had a single influential well-wisher in Navestock. A man cannot live and fight on air and honour, and this sum of forty pounds seemed almost too precious to be squandered in a mere skirmish. All the paraphernalia of the professional life were lacking. If he determined ttf stand his ground in Navestock he would start without a single patient; and even in the event of patients coming to him he would need drugs and instruments that he did not possess. He had not even a midwifery bag, that sacred symbol distinctive of general practice. He had no quarters, no brass plate, no horse to pull or carry him. But as to retreating without a battle, that was another matter. Wolfe had not told Threadgold that he had duplicates of the map and papers that had been destroyed. Moreover, he was not without lines of advance for a possible attack. At Winnington, fifteen miles away, the Radical weekly paper had been pushing a campaign against certain corrupt conditions that existed in Wannington itself. The editor of the Wannington Clarion was one of those aggressive, red-headed, little men who are loathed with a great loathing by the representatives of vested interests. Wolfe saw a chance here. The Wannington Clarion circulated in Navestock, and the editor might be ready to publish a few facts in his columns. In Navestock all local authority rested with the Navestock Board of Guardians. Montague Threadgold was the medic'al representative, and the doctor for the Navestock Union. Robert Flemming acted as chairman, and the men who served with him were the very men whom Wolfe would be attack- , ing. Ja»per Turrell was one of the , gods behind the gods. The trades- j men, such as old Hubbard, and Butler the butcher, who served on the , vestry and also as guardians, were ] bound by considerations of trade to t the territorial magnates. Again— ] among the Navestock justices who ] held ex-officio seats upon the Poor ; Law Board, were to-be found Tur- i veil, Wilks, and their intimate neighbours. The law itself was | crude, complex, clumsy, and inde- ] cisive. As yet no central authority I eould compel the local authorities i to remedy corrupt conditions. Re- I form and agitation were at work, i but in the rural districts the people . were at the mercy of privilege, i apathy, ana obstinate selfishness. •. Outdoor relief itself was still a scandal, a means by which local tradesmen could vote themselves money through the pockets of the poor. Wolfe thought of the Rev. Robert Flemming. This man, as chairman of these ruling bodies, should have a leading voice in dictating local policy and local reform. It seemed to Wolfe that he should go to Robert Flemming, lay all the facts before bj.-a, tmocitL

to him as a man of honesty and honour. It was possible that nothing much would come of it, but at all events these Navestock “Fathers” might have the truth thrust under their noses. They could talk the facts away, vote them into oblivion, yet there might be one or two men among them who had consciences and tongues. Wolfe thought also of Jess Mascall and her mother, and here his manhood was concerned more deeply, and, whatever the future might bring him, this “Maid of Honor” would still hold her power. Wolfe felt very sensitively about Jess. He would sooner have forfeited the goodwill of a whole town than have cast the least shadow of a disillusionment across her mind. To Wolfe she was the mirror of what life ; should be, clear, frank, and untarnished. She stirred in him all the I chivalrous tenderness and awe that i are very passionate realities in the heart of a true man. ] He told himself that he would go < up to Moor Farm tomorrow and see 1 Mary Mascall. She was a woman : to whom he could open his heart. He felt that she would understand < him and that he could trust her, and that she would trust him in 1 return. t Meanwhile, in the little private i parlor of "The Crooked Billet” Inn, 1 Mr. Ragg and Adam Grinch, old ; Crabbe’s gardener, had spent half I an hour over their pipes. Grinch i had left the inn before John Wolfe | returned. He had gone straight to Josiah Crabbe’s stone house where : the Lombardy poplars struck like silver spires into the moor-dight. Robert Flemming had postponed the writing of his Sunday sermon until necessity and Saturday morning brought him relentlessly to his study chair. Flemming was a man without utterance. He had to labour things eut. to heave himself restlessly in his chair, to struggle with the feeblest inspiration in order-to compel it to serve him. His spiritual life had grown flabby and commonulacxu even as lie had J>ut on flesh

imperceptibly during the last ten years. Repetition had become a habit with him, and he distributed his teaching with the placid perfunctoriness of a baker delivering loaves. When Wolfe rang the rectory bell that morning, Robert Flemming's sermon book lay upon his desk, with a few slovenly sentences written across the right-hand page. Flemming himself was standing by the window, sharpening a quill pen. Inspiration had failed him, and Flemming, like many a heavy man who finds it easier to use his hands than his head, would try to help his ideas to flow by fiddling with his knife or his fly-book, or with some mechanical crank he had in hand. “Now that the harvest is being gathered in, I think, dear friends, that w? should recall to ourselves the infinite mercies showered down upon us by Our Father in Ileaven. When I look round this neighbourhood of ours, I often feel how blessed we are, how supremely happy in the peace and the goodwill that alone make life worth living. "Do we not tell ourselves that God is good, and that •" Flemming had become bogged here, and had been unable to extricate himself from the idea-less mood into which he had floundered. He had fidgeted, bitten his quill got up and drawn the blinds, and felt vaguely Irritated because the sun was shining and making it a penance for him to sit indoors The thought struck him as he stood by the window with quill and penknife. “How is it I have so little to say to these people? The hot weather, perhaps! It dries one up like a But he felt irritated and dissatisfied. “A gentleman, sir, wants to see you. Flemming had not heard the door open. He turned rather sharply, lu» grey eyebrows coming dose together. r (To Be Continued) Copyright J9J2. by Robert M. Mcßride A Co llluttiduifrl H K— Frat Hrn |n £ ‘
