Temperance In the Churches.-It is in
Com, emplation to organize vigorous and
conce ted movement in the cause Of tenn
peraucs among the christian congregations,
and Their eby bring to bear upon the Legis-
lature a M oral support, or encouragement
from a ouart>,r that can not tc charged as
partisan while at the same time the move
ment will be fell as an influence that will
have power sufficient to secure members OF
the Legislature against the grog political
power so dreaded by political aspirants, in
the absence of any counter weight exerted
by public sentiment above the low level OF
the rum interest. The direct object OF
this movement is to procure Change IN
the disgraceful license system OF Maryland
by which the public will acquire some con-
troll in the matter of license isSaing. 1t Is
estimated that the real estate Of Elkton
alone has, within the last decade been
deprecated at least % per cent by the
nny,cenn license allowed to the sale OF
spirituous liquors. The multiplication OF
grog shops where 10 shadow of demand
requires public houses to be opened, DE-
comes more and more every daS , question
of political economy, as well as mo1a's and
good neighborhood. Rum is driving eat
tho best population Of Elkton and dinlln-
ishing the value of property; and the same
influence is felt in every part of the State
The license laws of Maryland bind tho
hands of the order-loving people and are
disgrace, as well as an injury to the COM
monwealth. Maryland we believe has one
of the loosest grog license systems Of any
State in the Union.

! "A madman," he said, TO the two men,
who had arisen to their feet in the intense
excitement of the occasion. "A mailman
and felon."
He dragged him from the room as he
spoke, the prisoner lighting with Ml the
wild desperation Of baffied man.
A ray Of light fell across the features Of
Colonel Adams as Eugene Allerton's wild
gaze chsnced to fall upon his face.
Colonel Adams = he cried, ''for old
friendships sake aid me from the plots of
these two r
The Colonel started forward
HE knows me" he murmured, ex-
citedly.
81 am Eugene Allerton !" cried the pris-
Oner, as the detective tore his clinging
hands, manacled as they were, from the
door posts, and out into the outer corridor.

him with wild grasp. IF you love me,
do not go after that man"
The Colonel sank into his former seat at
the word-ever a command to him but
as she saw the companion of her husband
rise to his feet as if about to leave the
room, she recognized him in a moment.
Stay, sir, she said, and then under her
breath whispered to him. 'for the sake Of
my husbands house and his peace of mind
aid ME iii hiding that fearful history of the
past.
And Ronald Darlington again seated
himself, while the wife Of the Colonel, with
all of the self-possession she could com

arm, and tenderly said
''You are surprised and are startled
You know that man
''Yes ; he is one Of the oldest friends |

And my bitterest enemy, she said, as
she drew close to her husband. II will
tell you all, and then you may judge how
deserving he is Of your friendship, and
how, like madman, he has sought to win
my hand in marriage.
And Colonel Adams, III a trusting and
in fond belief in all she said, attentively
listened to her story-the false story Of her
connection with Eugene Allerton.

CHAPTER XII.
VANE EVELYN

That deepening plot grows deeper, and becomes
Merged into minor plots. ANON.
Vane Evelyn was at Myrtle Villa. Not
a visitor, not guest, only spy upon the
servants, deslrous Of ascertainlng the
whereabouts Of Beatrice Adams.
When the audacipus boldness Of Cyrille
Eytlng had 50 completely wrung from him
the information Of the whereabouts Of the
imprisoned Eugene Allerton, he was terri
fed and startled. He knew not what course
to undertake, and he was not at loss Just
the- to comprehend that he might lose the
money which he had SO calculated upon re-
ceiving for his part in the plot of Beatrice
for the contamination Of her marriage to
Colonel Adams. At first he was irresolute,
waverlng and then, i'll determination to
endeavor to prevent at least, the exposure
Of his patroness, before the escape Of the
imprisoned Eugene Allerton from the asy-
lum doctors hands, he had gone to Myrtle
| Villa.
| Beatrice was married, and he breathed
more freely when he learned that such was
the fact. But he was not entirely willing
to abandon the plot Just yet. He knew
that should Eugene Allerton come to ex-
pose, her that it might be the means of his
losing the promised morey, ard he was
unCecided still how to act i'll the affair
For a day or two he watched the villa,
ascertaining nothing, for he was not de-
sirous Of awakening the suspicious Of the
servants. Then he made up his mind to
give up the spying, and await for the re
turn Of his patroness.
1t was while returning from one of his
walks around the villa, that towards dusk
he came face to face with Robert Garrison.
He expressed neither surprise nor de-
sire to evade him he only stood still, re-
moving his cigar from his mouth and re-
garding him coolly.
Robert Garrison noticed the changed de-
meanor Of the man, and removed his hand
from the hilt Of the knife he wore in his
belt under his clothing, as q safeguard
against any assault, or as All unanswerable
argument in contest Of any Importance
to himself.
"We have met again" he simply said
yes"
"You see l am bound to trace you up.
The imperturbable Vane Evelyn respond
ed with quiet nod Of Acquiescence.
"You will do no good by this silence,
said Robert Garrison.
"Why sol
g Because we have set to work to discover
what you have done with Eugene Allerton
and we are bound to fulfill what we under
take"
"You will do no good by following m
up, was the others reply, in the sam
tone Of voice, ''for am no more cognizan
of the real whereabouts Of Eugene Al
lerton ct this moment than you are"
Robert Garrison regarded his companies
incredulously.
81 do not value your word very highly,
said he.
