$50 it ends" he muttered. ';Is
there any woman on earth worthy
of a mans love ?"
Nell went home to Maplewood,
and Captain ThornycGOft rejoined
his command.
1t was dready Thanksgiving
day. Gray and overcast, a wild,
wailing blast, whirling the dead
leaves in every direction.
''Come, father and mother" said
Nell, '1et's sit down to our Thanks
giving dinner, it is quite ready"
The old father arose ana took off
his spectacles.
"A cheerlsss day for ThankSgiv =
ing," he sighed "and it will storm
before night. Aye, wife, it's not
like the days we've seen."
The old wife's eyes Oiled, she was
thinking of her blniShel son.
Come, come, the turkey is grow
ing cold, urged Nell struggling to
keep back her tears.
The lawn gate closed with a clang
and there was Il sound of horses on
the gravel. Nell flew to the door.
Two men in blue and brass. One of
them she knew in an instant.
"Oh, Jack, Jack Mother, Jack
has come home ~ she cried.
In another instant the prodigal
son was in the room, and had Me
old woman in his arms.
Forgive me father" he said.
GIVE come for good this time, and
IN not put you to shame again.
Nell saved me-"
The father clasped his hand in si-
leace.
Nell" said the second on ad-
vancing, "is there pardon for mo
too 2"
"CAptain Thornycrott ?"
LET me tell the story" shouted
Jack. Nell was engaged to the
Captain there, father, and she sold
her troth-ring for money to help N
out OF trouble. She saved me and
lost her own happiness. But I've
fetched yoar soldier back, Nell" he
went on. Il chanced to strike his
company when l went into the army,
and once when be was near dying,
he told me his story. l saw how The
land layed in thrice, and here he
is, willing enough to trust you now.
Y ou must forgive him Nell"
"WIll you. Nell ?" whispered the
Captain.
For answer Nell put her hand in
his. He carried it to his lips.
"Here's the opal ring back
again, "he said, taking it from his
pocket and slipping it on her finger.
I've kept it all these years, and |
Nell, lore you better to-day than |

LEGAL PBOGIBITI0N EFFEC7UAL.

The National Prob,ditioniSt givet
the following statement Of facts
furnished by correspondent Oh the
ground. The two pictures present
ed are worthy of thoughtful consid.
GRAFTON by every community in the
United States. 1t is not only de-
monstrated what one upright, in
| flexible judge can do, but also what
vast good prohibition can accom-
plish WHEN fairly tried. | send you
the facts IN regard to prohi )ition in
Trimble county, Ky. Judge a. W.
Blrtlett, of that county, refused to
License the sale of Intoxicating
drinks to any man in the county.
This new departure, by the county
judge, was heralded all over the
land, a charge Of insubordination
was Made, and an appeal went up
to the court of appeals, but the
j udge remained firm he looked at
the license system in the county I've
saw the evil, and that continuously
and resolved that, by his hand, no
more men should be allowed to
work ruin among his people that
in eternity no um-seller should
hold up his license and say: "Here,
Lore, is my authority, signed by the
judge of Trimble county" Vhe
court of appeals sustained the judge
and since that day no licensed rum
shop has been allowed by the coun-
ty.
Now mark the result To-day
there is not criminal case on the
docket of Trimble county not a
crimInal in the Jail not a pauper
in the county not licensed bar
room. Last county court day
though Bedford, The crnnty-seat
town, was crowded with people, not
a drunken man was to be seen in
town 4; perfect order and good will
reigned, no husband went home to
his family drunk-a demon TO bis
children.
Men ask what good will a prohibit
tory law do ? Look at Anderson
county, with its two whisky mur-
ders in one week look at Jeffer-
son county, with its forty or fifty
murders year, and live hundred
and :thirty-seven arrests in one city
in the month Of June last look at
Pulaski county, with her ten whis-
ky murders recently look at Scott
with her docket crowded, and then
look at Trimble county, free from
crime, and say whether you will put
your hand with Judge Bartlett's,
against the license system, or in fa-
vor of it. There are but two sides
to the whisky question !; you have
o 60 with the absta1ner or with the
drunkards. Where are you, my
brother ? and what are you build
ing On is it on the side of license
or against it ? leaYe you to sdraw
your own conclusions, and set which
side you are on.)
