The atmosphere does not encourage
even fairly braaen romance and Jim's
and Nancy’s was a newly kindled, shy
little flame that might blaze up
georgeously or puff out altogether ac
cording to which zephyr of chance
blew first.
Nan py discovered the penciled fig

“Seme thrifty souls have keen add

finding all the savory that the Rose
Garden’s special dinner lacked in just
sharing it with Nancy. “Let’s figure
out what they had. ‘R,’ that must be
roe st.” He consulted the a la carte
aide of the menu. Subs enough;
prime ribs a Pledro were forty cents.
“The girl bad fish,” Nancy took it
up gayly. Taking up sympathy everything in
lift with quick, gay was
Nancy's way. "Mercy, the extravagant
creature must have had fillet of eole;
that's the only fish that’s sixty-five

That’s about what five thousand

“And ‘G & T is gas and ice,” Nan

An Incredulous pucker appeared be

■ Of course he can,” said Nancy.

“Gosh, that fellow's got a nerve.
Think of expecting a pretty girl who’s
been used to good times and attention
and everything, to settle down to
eight dollars a month for amusement
for two.”-----------------------------------------..........—..............
- Why, I don’t think that’s nervy at
Rl1 - Two people could have an awful
lot of fun on eight dollars a month.
They could go to one good show—that
would be four-sixty, balcony seats and
car fare—and to a ‘movie’ or two.
And then just think of the fun you
can have without spending hardly
anything! Skating on Van Cortlandt
park in the winter and going on pic
nics in the summer, building a fire
and cooking outdoors. And having
another couple In for dinner and to
play cards afterward—that doesn’t
cost much.
That’s so,” Jim agreed. “Those
things are a circus. And if you like
a person a lot, It's fun just to stay
home sometimes, read out loud or play
crlbbage.”
Cribbage is a good game,” said
^Jancy, after “Dad dinner and I used night to ptay when a
game every
I was a youngster."
Jim looted across the table at her,
so gay and pretty and dear. A game
of cribbage after dinner every night
with Nancy! He looked down at the
figures, the chart by which some game
little vessel was going to chance the
seas. Of course the budget chart 4nay
bepn drawn by a storm-tossed
old couple, by a lone woman or a fa
ther and son, but Jim would never be
lieve It.
“Thirty-five dollars a month for
clothes,” he rend. “They can't make
it for that, can they? If the girl likep
the kind of clothes you wear, for 1«
etanee?”
Oh, surely It was a young couple
who had drawn up the chart! The
very breath of romance can be In a
budget.
The special dinner progressed from
tasteless soup to tasteless coffee. The
hungry buzzards in the aisle drew
uearer as dessert approached. But
Jim and Nancy neither tasted, saw
nor heard the cheapness. For the
second time that night, romance was
falling over the twosome table like a
snowstorm over prosy and familiar
sights, changing rent and food and
Insurance into glittering, mysterious
charm.
Under the eye of the disapproving
waiter, Jim slipped the soiled menu
Into his pocket, sent a wordless wish
after the fellow mariners who had had

Last Day
For Filing Capital
Stock Tax Returns
Tuesday is the last day for filing
of capital stock tax returns. The
time for filing was extended from
July 31, the annual time for filing
capital stock tax returns. The cor
porations of the state have, there
fore, had a 60 day extension of time
in which to file the returns and the
assumption will be that no addition
al time will be necessary on the part
of any corporation in filing its re
turn.
All corporations of every descrip
tion, whether active or inactive, op
erating or not operating, must file a
capital stock tax return and all ac
tive corporations, not specifically ex
empt, whose net worth is more than
$5,000, must pay capital stock tax.
The commissioner of internal rev
enue only is authorized to determine
whether or not a corporation is lia
ble for the payment of tax in cases
where exemption is claimed, if it
is believed a person is entitled to ex
emption and this fact has not been
established, a return must be regu
larly filed and full information con
cerning the operation of the business
submitted to establish claim for ex
emption.
Joseph Rose, collector for this dis
trict, says:' “M you are an officer of
any corporation and responsible, for
filing its returns and you have not
filed them believing that you do not
need to file a capital stock return,
my suggestion is that you consult
with the collector’s office or with
someone familiar with capital stock
returns and determine whether or
not your corporation should file a
return. All corporations of the state
are a matter of record and if you do
not file your return you can expect
that your corporation will be investi
gated and penalties will have to be
assessed for failure to comply with
the law. I do not want to collect
penalties—all I want is to collect
the tax.”

King of England Closely Guarded Scotland m
From Americans on Visit to
Aberdeen, Sept. 29.—Looking after
the welfare of the British monarch
when he makes his annual visit to
Balmoral, his Scottish Highland seat,
is the annual efficiency test of the
constabulary of the country. The of- '
ficers are proud of a record which
H
shows that not once during the pres
ent reign has the king been annoyed
in the royal grounds.
The constabulary are preparing for
the visit of the king at the end of
the month. A large force has been
dispatched to the castle and are
keeping an eye out for any signs
of coming disturbances or demonstra
tions which might interfere with the
rest the royal family allow them
selves at Balmoral.
During the reign of Victoria and
Edward VII a few disturbances were
created on the castle grounds by
cranks, but since then the constabu
lary have had the upper hand.

OtJ VICTOR COPYRIGHT ROUSSEAU BY W.G.CHAPMAN
7B HO What rectly gets into other closer daily person to contact life comes than with a more doctor? its ro- di
mance, its hopes and defeats, its sordidness and
its uplifting qualities? Who else has the drama
of it all so constantly before his eyes?
This strange tale, eerie and mystifying in part, but filled
with passionate interest and charm is the romance of a
surgeon. Its heroine is a nurse. Its strongest scenes are
in a sanitarium. One of its most effective clim aw^ takes
place at an operating table. Edifying and thrilling; a
story that engages the mind and the heart and does not *
permit interest to lapse for an instant. One of the most
unusual and satisfactory of Victor Rousseau’s many
remarkable stories.
