"It's saved my reason for the time being. I can tell you I was wallowing pretty deep not long ago. But this tally-ho business turned the scales. Now I’rn going to paint the pleture of my life and get sane again.” “When are you going to begin?" asked Tiggie. “My dear chap, I have begun.” Harvey leaned back a little to sur vey his canvas, his eyes reduced to mere slits. “Tlence my Industry in this broiling sun. You don’t Imagine I’tn driven by any sense of virtue, do you?" *Tve never yet discovered what you were driven by.” said Tiggie. tugging out pipe and tobacco pouch and preparing to make himself com fortable. - Harvey pulled at hls own pipe for soma seconds without replying. Then abruptly, as hls fashion was. he changed the subject.. “When are you going to break the news?’’ **What news?’’ said Tiggie stolidly. Harvey explained himself with the patience of one who had learned to bear with the limitations of mere mortals. "The sad news of her first husband's death. I suppose they have hardly had time to gather that yet.” "Oh. that!" said Tiggie. He too paused to consider the matter before replying. “No, nothing’s been said yet," be said at length. "She didn’t wish It. And whatever she wishes— well, it’s got to be done, that’s all.” 1 **l quite see that.” said Harvey indulgently. "After all, there’s no hurry,” Tiggie continued, beginning to fill hls pipe. "It doesn’t really matter a damn to anyone that I can see. Spot and Helen are much too decent to Imagine I things. We can choose our own time iWhen she’s stronger.” I "Quite, oh quite!" agreed Harvey. I "The primrose path of deception is inot without. Its attractions.

"You asked me to in troduce you to the original. Remem ber ?’’ , "Which you kindly did," said Har vey. Tiggie puiled at his pipe for a few moments before he said, "Well?" “I knew you were after her.” said Harvey. “That’s why I stuck so close. It was as vital to me as ft was to you in a different way.

This sort of talk was above his form. “I thought we were talking about the picture,” he said after a pause. Harvey gave a brief laugh. "The picture of my life! Well, you won’t he jealous about It. will you?” “I’m never jealous.” said Tiggie. “P’raps you’ve never had reason to he!” suggested Harvey. “It’s odd. you know, but vice, like disease, can be carried about for years without developing until the psychological moment arrives, and then one day you wake up with the rash full out.” Tiggie smiled a little Involuntarily behind hls tobacco smoke. “Well, I've no symptoms of that at present that I know of. Go on about the picture!” Harvey’s deft hand paused in mid air. His eyes were on the sea that heaved shimmering and translucent in the streaming sunshine. "I’m try ing.” he said, “to get that shade.

Harvey hesitated slightly, almost as If embarrassed, “when I’ve got a suitable background, then I shall begin to look for—the subject. It’s going to be called The Safe Harbor’, by the way. You’ll get the ld.ea of a reef and & narrow opening and crashing breakers — p’raps a bit of wreckage — in the distance. In front will be — this sort of thing." He indicated the calm waters of the bay, lying as it were asleep up to the very cliffs that guarded them. “And, just drifting in to shore there’ll be a ship’s raft. There’ll be a man sitting back to the picture just bowed exhausted over the oars. In the stern, facing the shore, there’ll be— a woman." “Great Scott!" said Tiggie abrupt ly. Harvey peered down M him. “Anything the matter?*' Tiggie took a bard pull at hls pipe. "No, nothing. That's all?” "That I can’t tell you.” Harvey spoke enigmatically. “Probably not.

Well—you wait and see!” "It doesn’t!” threw in Tiggie rather thickly, his teeth clenched upon the stem of his pipe. "I’ve got tlie idea. It’s—great.” "Think so?” Hat v*y threw him another glance, but this time it held no humor; it was more lifce the look of a child, half-wistful, half confid ing. “You really think that, do von?" he said.

Harvey looked back at the daubed canvas In front of him. “Doesn’t look much like it at present, does it ? But you’M see. I shall work like hell when the chance comes. I’m holding myself in for the present—reserving my powder—till it does. I can’t get up any enthusiasm without a model. She’ll be the very centerpiece—the ego—of everything. Understand?” Tigglie nodded. “Yes. I’m there. It’s an amazing thing—that you should have got it too. T mean, i’ve had it all along— —ever since we met the idea of the raft—the shipwreck. It’s as if we’d gone through it all to gether a dozen times. Tt began on The Pioneer." He stopped jerkily, as lie had spoken. “And it’ll end here." said Harvey with conviction. “Tt really odd. my sensing the same thing. You’re not very opaque you know. Tiggie. And I’ve a fairly receptive mind. Also’! —he grinned a little—“l’ve been through a few storms myself.” Hq leaned back, and tapped out the ashes or hls pipe on the rock. "T always fall madly in love with my model," he observed unexpectedly after a moment. “It’s the Inevitable result of toe mental derangement caused by the exercise of the creative faculty. There ato no morals in art. as perhaps you have discovered. One can’t do with ’em. They’re too big a nuisance—hamper one at every turn. Hope you do'n’t mind?” “So long as the model doesn’t fall in love with you." solidly replied Tiggie with his eyes on the horizon Harvey laughed. "There’s onlv one woman in the world could ever do that—and T always go home to her in the end. Well’’—he stretched himself—“l think I’ve done enough with these damned pigments for to day—especially as I shall be up to catch the dawn In the morning. Give me a pipeful like a good chap! P'raps I’d better mention here, in case you don’t know it, that I think you’re one of the best, and alwavs shall.” Tiggie turned, spjnning soberlv on his own axis, and looked up with a slow smile. “Thanks!” he said. "P’raps you’d be mildly interested to know that T’m inclined to think the same of you." Harvey made a swift gesture of repudiation, and began to collect his paraphernalia with a species of adroit Impatience—adroitness that seemed to Indicate 1 indignation. “Heaven help you ts you do!” he said. “Here, flli my pipe for me and stop making a blithering aaa of yourself! ” “Rfght-ho!" said Tiggie, mildly complying. “Better to be useful I admit.” , "Better be anything than a damn fool! said Harvey rudely.

The State was in possession, it has /been learned here, of facts which would have made the conviction look, less hard if the defendants had not elected to offer no testimony and choosing that method of defense were advantaged by the opening and clos>- IMPORTANT NOTICE To Delinquent Taxpayers I While quite a number of those owing taxes for the year 1931 and prior years, have availed themselves oi the privileges of the law permitting! the issuance oi a note tor such taxes, payable in five equal annual in stallments, the majority have failed thus far to take advantage of this provision of the law. Fheie appears to be some misunderstanding on the part ol the taxpayers with reference to the giving of these notes. Some seem to have gained the idea that to give the note increases their responsibility, and like wise increases the possibility of their losing their property in the event of failure to make the payments on the note. Such is not the case. The tax lien note is not a personal obligation, but a lien on property. The purpose of the law permitting the note to be given was to grant the taxpayer additional time in which to catch up his back taxes, and the giving of the note does not in any way increase your responsibility nor change the status of the tax lien. What it does do is to give you five years additional time~on taxes for the year 1931 and prior years, without any additional cost other than intefest at the rate of 6 per cent from April 1, 1933. The disadvantages to the taxpayer in the event he should fail to pay such taxes, or execute the tax lien note before April 1 1934, are that it is encumbent upon the Board of Commissioners to continue to institute foreclosure proceedings on all Sheriff’s tax sale certificates within sixteen months from the date of such cer tificates, thus adding additional cost and expenses in the case of each years taxes, and culminatimr eventuallv in the necessity under the law, of disposing of the property for such taxes. * eventually The question is naturally raised as to what will ha ppen in the event The taxpayer fails to meet the pay ments as provided^in the note. In such an event the tax payer reverts to the same status as before the note was given. The Hoard of Commissioners, should you f ail to make the payments, are required, under the law. to start foreclosure proceedings the same as if you ha d not given the note. In other words, the law providing lor the note was enacted for the benefit of the taxpayer, and you must execute the note before April 1 1934 to gain the benefits provided by the said law, and then, in the event you are unable to meet the mvments your situation is exactly the same as if you had not given the note. Inasmuch as ff!e law does not allow the County to accept these notes after the last day of this month (March 31, 1934) the note must be executed and delivered before April 1, 1934. as after that date the rvmniv is barred by law from accepting such notes. } The first payment on these notes will not be due until November, 1934. A. A. BUNN, County Attorney I ■ • -—n T-r ti , ing of the argument. There is a $250,- 000 item of public indebtedness, the State departments here have learned Which represents borrowings by the county and that weht into the Ship man bank. These never came out. Nor did the politics of this 1 case. Mr. Shipman is a Democrat. Ralph Fisn er and J. H. Pickelsimer are Repub licans. Two years ago a minister came down here and told Governor 'Gardner that, a conspiracy between Pickelsimer and Shipman, or Fisher and Shipman was unthinkable because they were bitter poitical enemies. The State went thoroughly into that, and •lid find that so long'as there was no body to consider but Shipman, and nothing to worry about but. Shipman’s ,:ank, Fisher was very indifferent; but when it became apparent that the failure of the hank would hurt Fill er's political party, he quickly signed and “saved” the tottering bank. In trouble the four have fellowsbipped with considerable fervor. The executive offices have not gone into these phases because the heads of them thought it looked hard to pile anything more on the convicted men. But the Supreme Court judges who saw no error in the actual trial of the men are quite satisfied that soine very shady financing was done in this case and that the more one goes into it the less hard it will ap pear the State has been in sending them to prison. The State's reaction after going in to the whole affair was distinctly dis crediable to the men indicted. The. politics of it was not made to look ■better by the lifelong enmity of Ship man and Pickelsimer in county po litics and the supposed feud between Fisher and Pickelsimer. The State’s view is that whatever the alleged hos tility of the Democrats and the Re publicans indicted and convicted, they handled the finance of 'both Demo crats and Republican with great reck lessness and came to the naturally calamitous end. The Shipman declaration that he and his associates had waited 30 months to get justice carried also the other implication that they were able to stay the hand of the law these two and a half years, a privilege that the less prominent do not always get. The Translyvanians entered the pri son minus a good deal of sympathy that would have been given them had they came here earlier. They are not in first rate position to ask for clemency.
