TRY 110 NOVELTIES III REVISING TAXES, IS PENROSE ADVICE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Further! revenue revision legislation ought to be enacted as soon as possible. Chair- j man, Penrose of the senate finance

committee, said in a statement emphasizlng that the pending measure was merely ot a temporary and emergency character. Discussing the sales tax. Senator Penrose said there was "no use to advance novel or untried suggestions of taxation at a time when promptness of action of some kind is the slogan." House leaders were even more pronounced in their declarations regarding such a tax. Chairman Fordney of k a uim nnri mpana committee, and

Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican leader, declaring that no such proposal could be put through the house. Mr. Mondell insisted there had been no change in the house sentiment that Ihero thnrilrt hp a "liftinE and UOt &

shifting of taxes."- Mr. Fordney took a similar view and it was indicated

tnat nouse leaders wouiu uimm a tax Tevision program substantially in accord with that agreed upon at the White House conference last August. More Careful Revision Later Senator Penrose said there were manv sources of revenue and methods

of taxation that ought to be consider- . J 1 n An ! r Ant A onH

that he intended to address the senate on "this particular subject." "Just as soon as the pending bill becomes a law," he added. "1 hope to submit 'to the consideration of some tribunal fitlier a special tax committee or the committees of the house and

may be fruitful. "Meantime we have only one thing o do: Get the country out of the depths into which it has been plunged and restore business and industrial activities and employment and correct inconvenience as much as possible " Senate consideration of the tax bill was confined to a vigorous assault, on the measure by Senator Reed of Missouri, a Democratic member of the finance committee. He denounced the bill as "an infamous" piece of legislation and declared the Republican plan to relieve the wealthy corporations and individuals of a large portion of their taxes was "a boot-licking performance." Resents Surtax Cut Analyzing the bill in detail, Senator Herd attacked the proposal to reduce -the maximum income surtax rate from 65 per cent to 32 per cent, declaring the argument that this would keep the rich from evading taxes through investment in tax-free securities was a "subterfuge" that would not stand the test of analysis.

PART TWO. Mr. Munro went on: "I am usually an extremely sound sleeper. It has been a standing jest in the family that nothing could ever wake me during: the night. And yet. somehow on that particular night, whether it may have been the slight excitement produced by my little ad venture or not I know not, but I slept much more lishtly than usual. Half in my dreams I was dimly conscious that something: was going on in the room and gradually became aware that my wife had dressed herself and was slipping on her mantle and her bonnet. My lips were parted to mur mur out some sleepy words of surprise or remonstrance at this untimely preparation, when suddenly my eyes fell upon her face, illuminated by the candle light, and astonishment held me dumb. She wore an expression such as I had never seen before such as I should have thought her incapable

of assuming. She was deadly pala

and breathing fast, glancing furtively toward the bed as she fastened her mantle, to see if she had disturbed me. Then, thinking that I wa3 still asleep, she slipped noiselessly -from the room, and an instant later I heard a sharp creaking which could come

only from the hinges of the front door.

I set up in bed and rapped miknuckles against the rail to make certain that I was truly awake. Then I

took my watch from under the pillow,!

It was three in the morning. What on this earth could my wife be doing out on tha country road at three in the morning? "I had sat for about twenty minutes turning the thing over in my mind and trying to find some possible explanation. The more I thought, the more extraordinary and inexplicable did it appear. I was still puzzling over it when I heard the door gently close again, and her footsteps coming up the stairs. . " 'Where in the world have you been. Effie?' I asked as she entered. "She gave a violent start and a kind of gasping cry when I spoke, and that cry and laugh startled me more than all the rest, for there was something indescribably guilty about them. My wife had always been a woman of a frank, open nature, and it gave me a chill to . see her slinking into her own room, and crying out and wincing when her own husband spoke to her. "'You awake. Jack!" she cried with a nervous laugh. Why, I thought thEt nothing could wake you." "'Where have you been?' I asked, more sternly. " 'I don t wonder that you are surprised,' said she, and I could see that her fingers were trembling as she un

did the fastenings of her mantle. 'Why I never remember having done such a thing in my life before. The fact is that I felt as though I were choking, and had a perfect longing for a breath

of fresh air. I really think that T should have fainted If I had not gone out. I stood at the door for a few minutes, And now 1 am quite myself again.' . . . "All the time that she was tellinj me this story she never looked in my direction, and her voice was quite unlike her usual tones. -It was evident to me that she was saying what was

turned my face to the wall, sick at heart, with my mind filled with i thousand venemous doubt3 and suspicions. What was it that my wife was concealing from me? Where had she been during that strange expedition? I felt that I should have no peace until I knew, and yet I shrank from asking her again after once sin had told me what was false. All th-3

rest of the night I tossed and tumbled, j

naming injury aner ineory, eacn more unlikely than the last. "I should have gone to the city that day, but I was too disturbed in my mind to be able to pav any attention

to business matters. My wife seemed j to be as upset as myself, and I could see from the little questioning glances j which she kept shooting at me, that t she understood that I disbelieved hrr j statement, and that she was at her; wits' end what to do. We hardly ex- j changed a word during breakfast, and j immediately afterwards I went out for j

a walk, that I might think the matter out in the fresh morning air.

"I went as far as the Crystal Palace, spent an hour in the grounds, and was back -in Norbury by one o'clock. It happened that my way took me past the cottage, and I stopped for an instant to look on the windows, and to

see if I could catch a glimpse of that I strange face wheh looked out at me 1 the day before. As I stood there, im-' agine my surprise, Mr. Holmes, when I the door suddenly opened and my wife j

waiKea out. "I was struck dumb with astonishment at the sight of her; but my emotions were nothing to those which showed themselves upon her face when our eyes met. She seemed for an instant to wish to shrink back inside the house again; and then seeing how useless all concealment must be. she came forward, with a very white face and frightened eyes which belied the smile upon her lips. " 'Ah, Jack,' she said, 'I have just been in to see if I can be of any assistance to our new neighbors. Why do you look at me like that, Jack? You are not' angry with me?" " 'So.' said" I, 'this is where ycu went during the night.' " 'What do you mean?'' she cried. " 'You came here. I am sure of it. Who are these people that you should visit them at such an hour?' " T have not been here before.' " 'How can you tell me that when you know it is false?' I cried. 'Your very voice changes as you speak. When have I ever had a secret from you? I shall enter that cottage, and

I shall probe the matter to the bottom.' "'No, no. Jack, for God's sake!' she gasped, 5n incontrollable emotion. Then, as I approached the door, she seized my sleeve and pulled me back with convulsive strength. "I implore you not to do this, Jack." she cried. 'I swear that I will tell yon everything some dav. but nothing but misery can come if you enter that

cottage. Then, as I tried to shake her off she clung to me in a frenay of entreaty. " 'Trust me, Jack!' she cried. 'Trust me only this once. You will never have cause to regret it. You know that I would not have a secret from you if it were not for your own sake. Our whole lives are at stake in this. If you come home with me, all will

last. 'It Is that this mystery comes

an end from now. You are at lib

erty to preserve your secret, but you must promise me that ther will be no more nightly visits, no more doings which are kept from my knowledge. I am willing to forget those which are

j passed if you will promise that there

shall be no more in the future. " 'I was sure that you would tni3t me,' she cried, with a great sigh of relief. 'It shall be just as you wish. Come away oh, come away up to the house.'
