Ryanae tells him Jones has the rug and UKffest the abduction of the New York merchant as a means of securing Its re turn. CHAPTER X (Continued.) Stubborn as th lock was, persever ance overcame it. George then, as light diversion, spread the ancient Yhlordes over the trunk and stared at ft In pleasurable contemplation. What a beauty It was! What exquisite Dine, -what soft led. what minute patterns! And this treasure was his. He leaned down upon It with his two hands. color stole into his cheeks. It had Its source in an old confusion; school toys Jeering a mate seen' walking home from school' with a girl. It was all rot, he perfectly knew, this wish ing business; and yet he flung Into the un-wanned, sun-gilded space an ar dent wish, sent It speeding round the world from east to west Fast as heat, fast as Ught It traveled, for no sooner had It sprung from his mind than It entered the window of a room across the corridor. Whether the window was open or shut was of no Importance whatever. Such wishes penetrated and went through all obstacles. And this one touched Fortune's eyes, her hair, her lips; it caressed her In a thousand happy ways.' But, alas! such wishes are without temporal power. Fortune never knew. She sat in a chair, her fingers locked tensely, her eyes large and set In gaze, her lips compressed, her whole attitude one of Impotent despair. George did not see her at lunch, and It was time to go up and oress ior dinner. Tonight (as If the gods naa turned George's future affairs over to the care of Momus) he dressed at if he were going to the opera; swallow- tall, white vest, high collar ana wniwr lawn cravat, opera-Fedora, and thin- soled pumps; all tL se nabiumenis and demi-hablllments supposea w make the man. When he reacnea wnat he thought to be the glass of fashion and the mold of form, ne turnea iur the first time toward his trunk. He did not rub hU eyes; It wasn't at all necessary; the thing he saw, or rath er did not see, was estabiisnea dsjuuu rf,M aa nlalnlv definite as two nuu two are four. The ancient iuioru had taken upon itself one oi u v- tentlalitles of Its fabulous prourejjwi that of invisibility; it was gone. CHAPTER XI. Episodic Fortune had Immediately returned from the bazaars. And a kind of tor por blanketed her mind, usually so ...n For a time the process of the evolution of thought was denied her; she tried to think, but there was an appalling lack of continu ity, of broken threads. It was like one of those circumferential railways; she traveled, but did not get anywhere. Ryanne had told her too much for his own sake, but too little for hers. She sat back In the carriage. Inert and llitless, and indeterminedly likened her condition to driftwood in the ebb and flow of beach-waves. The color and commotion of the streets were no longer absorbed; It was as if she were riding through emptiness, through the unreality or a arenm. duo was oppressed and stifled, too; harb inger of storms. Mechanically she dismissed the car- Hm .t the hotel, mechanically sne went to her room, and In this semi conscious mood sat down in a chair, and there George's wish found her, futllely. Oh, there was one thing ..to. olaar as the sky outside. Ail was not right; something was wrong; and this wrong upon one side con .taa tinr mother, her uncle and Ryanne, and upon the other side, Mr. Jones. Think and think as she might, her endeavors gave her no single illu mination.

(By FROF, JOHN A. NICHOLS.) They cry out that if the liquor traf fic Is abolished one of the markets for grain will be destroyed and a terrible calamity wyi fall upon the farmers. But the closing of the distillery and brewery would set at liberty a largo amount of capital and labor which would be diverted to other channels of business, Including among other . things the development of produce and its adaptation to the wants of the people. Many millions of dollars now expended In liquor would be expended In farm produce of various kinds. There is a large proportion or our people who do not consume as mucn of our farm produce as they need and desire, because of the waste of wealth In the consumption of intoxicants, and if this waste ceased the demand lor farm produce would at once increase. Experience has shown that the closing up of the saloons and the outlawing of the liquor traffic has always proved a great benefit to every legitlmntfc in dustry. A chapter in the history ot Ireland furnishes a graphic illustra tion. During the years 1809-10 and 1813-14 the distilleries of Ireland were stopped on account of the famine, on the ground that these distilleries wasted the grain that might other wise be used by the people as food. The results were surprising. The con sumption of spirits fell off nearly one half. On the other hand there was a tremendous Increase lu the demand for dry goods, blankets, cotton goods, sugar, hardware, crockery, groceries and other necessities, thus showing that a year of scarcity with prohibition Is better than a year of plenty with out It TO DO AWAY WITH ALCOHOL New Regulation In Federal Military Expected to Bring . Relief to Evils Complained Of. It is notorious that drinking and drunkenness are great evils connected with army life. It was to protect the soldiers from this debauchery that the canteen was abolished. To further stimulate them to lead temperate lives an order has been Issued by the federal government which reads a follows: "Provided, that no officer or en listed man In active service, who shall be absent from duty on account ol dis ease resulting from his own Intem perate use of alcohol or drugs or other misconduct shall receive pay for tho period ot such absence from any part of the appropriation." : , Thla new regulation in our federal military -service is expected to bring relief at least 'In some measure, to the evils complained of; also it Is re rarded as another step toward abolish ing the use ot alcoholio beverages in the army entirely. BLOW TO PERSONAL LIBERTY No Person Has Inherent Right to Sell Liquor or Buy It In Saloon, 8sys Supreme Court. , The Supreme Court of the United1 States says that no person has an in herent right to eell liquor, and now the supreme court of the state of Washington declares that no person has an inherent right to buy liquor In a saloon. In Its decision the court said: ::..- : Just as the right to engage In the liquor traffic is not an inherent right In any citizen, neither is it an Inher ent right in any-cltlzen to treat an other In a lcensed saloon which la under the control of ithe police power being exercised by a municipality.
