The afternoon wore on. Linda
began to fret at the inertia imposed
on them. But she still objected to
Jerome’s smashing inti any of the
chests. He could not understand
such opposition on the part of a
girl who had hitherto defied all ob-
stacles to her convenience.
They made a tight supper and
presently the darkness fell. Even
the macaw had departed. Both had
expected a visit from somebody.
But their privacy remained as ab-
solute as if under a taboo.

Tax payers are advised to read
carefully the instructions on form
1040 relating to the earned-income
credit and surtax, ss well a* all other
instructions thereon, before preparing
their returns.
The Revenue Act of 1934 provides
for only one normal tax rate, that is.
4 per cent on the amount of the net
income in excess of the allowable
credits such as the - personal exemp-
tion, credits. lor dependents, etc. The
act provides for an addili^-"'
for the purpose of the normal tax cf
an earned income credit, that is, 10
per cent of the amount of the earned
net income but not in excess of 10
per cent of the XYtfoiirft'tn^thr-net in-
come. The personal exemption and
credit for dependents are also allow-
able as credit against the surtax,
the resulting net being de-
signated “surtax net income." The
surtax is imposed on surtax net in-
comes in excess of $4,000.. The rates

amount of surtax net income in-

sweet from the jasmine and orange
blossoms. Jerome stepped inside
and dragged out a caned chaise
longue. Like Linda he felt the op-
pression of the dark interior. It
gave him a claustrophobia and it
was actually warmer outside. Also
there was a companionship-to-be
had from the trees and flowering
bushes. —
Presently Linda’s soft even
breathing told she had fallen
asleep. Time enough to go inside
when it got chilly. Jerome told hint;
came overturn. There was also a
comforting and soothing sense of
living presence in the murmur of
the little stream.
The reassurance of Mother Na-
ture when warm and tender is al-
ways better than the gloomy au-
sterity of a bare interior with con-
fining walls. Jerome fell asleep
He awakened with a start. He
had the eerie impression that some-
thing had brushed over his face,
then tugged sharply at his light
sleeveless shirt. Confused with
sleep he could not be sure that any-
thing had really touched him. He
had been sleeping with his face
turned toward the wall of the house
and for a moment he lay quite still
trying to determine what had roused
him. whether real or imaginary.

objects had been taken against the
risk of the mischievous prowlers
who had already made the cast
awavs so much trouble.
“But these must certainly have
some sort of keepers.” Jerome
argued.
He cupped his mouth with his
hands and for several minutes
shouted into the jungle. There was
no response at all until presently
tbs macaw became excited and be
gaa to screech and jabber. Jerome
gave it up in disgust.
