And a her mother sobbed, sho ran up to the man with the graying hair. Gov. Parker, wlio.-e kindly eyes and quiet manner had won her confidence. He lifted her to his knee, it was then Leota asked the governor to bring her daddy back. There were tears now in the rtovernor's eyes. "I will. leta," he said, dimply. That was all. Rut within his heart he swore a mighty rath to keep faith with that child. Iepta wont home comforted. Had not the man with the kindly eyes and comforting hands and lined face said he would see to it that her father would be home Chri.-tmas? Details did not bother ReoLa. She did not know that t lie state government provided only meager funds for special investigation such as the rase required. She did not know that Gov. Parker out of his own rocket pent thou.-an Is of dollars to make the investigation thoroughly. She did not know 'that in her native parish, under cover, investigators searched out the clues, that a spci-ial diver was brought from St. Iouis, that special guardsmen wero sent to Morehou.-e parish with orders to kill anyone who interfered in the search, that a body of men crept forth one night an. 1 exploded nearly half a ton of dynamite near the Rast land ferry in Rake Rafourehe and that the two bodies brought tin were identified as -tli ose of Watt Daniels and of Richards, her daddy. R"ota Just played about, wondering what Christinas would bring and scrawling pencil liius which her mother knew- were words to the Ku Klux Klan to bring her tbuldy back. Possibly Reota had forgotten the grave man with the kindly eyes. Rut the man had not forgotten. They brought Daddy Richards home for Christmai. They brought him in a gray metallic coffin, that

-hrouded mercifully from t ho eyes of little Reota the fearful evidence of what men will do under the lash of prejudice and hate and fear and maskvl amn mity. Troops fired the l ist salute over his grave. He rests in reace; a widow's doubts .are quieted. Rut in Raton Rouge, a man with a lined face and cares innumerable, keeps up thrt fight he his begun, eontont on one point -that with a little girl he kept faith. (Copyright 19 22. by I. X. S.)

Values as Basis for Tax Valuation.

KRKHART. Deo. 2 7 (Special) After a consultation -with city officials and some of the RIkhart 'bu.-J-ne men themselves. Rester C. lnebnit. assessor for Concord township, in making a survey of certain property in the. business section to redetermir.o it. rental value and -with the idea of a.-ik'.ng the state tax board for permission to ue these neiv'. x-alues for taxing purposeM. The liroperty includes all that bounded on the south by Tylt-r av., on the north 'by Jackson blvd., and running ea. and west from Main st., a half blo-rk evich way. The present assessed valuation of this real estate is $3.300.000. The action I taken because, ince the present valuation wa.s assessed, the renta have 1cen rai?ed two nd three times, and the present rato.s of rental are considered unfair to merchants renting .building .pace. The survey "will include each buildirr separately, and will show -who itc owner is, what it income is, 1 1 1 e date.s; of leases or options, ond who pay to kei it in repair. Tho ntlA rtntal valued will be on the basis of a 12 per cent income to the owner of the property. Tho present rental will be considered as 12 per cen't f the value of the place, and this value will 'be the. one used in figuring the new tax rate.
