CHAPTER XVIII.
THE BIRD rs SHARED.


It was Christmas morning, and Carol was
turning q ring on her hand with q look
which no .funcse should wear when first
viewing the symbol Of her plighted troth.
1t had come to this. Firmly and persist
emily influenced by her brother, eagerlya and
confidently vooed by lngot, in one short
week they had Overcome iler scruples so far
that she was lending herself to the plans Of
the one to the hateful seeming Of suhDlis-
sion to the other. while her own heart
tllrobbed with rebellion one minute, or sunk
with cold dread the next.
Mr. Ingot had carried out his intention
regarding the diamond. The ring was q
solitaire, which he got at a bargain-the
stone being slightly otf-color and married by
{. ilay which he flattered himself would ney
or be known and was accordingly q very
fair representation Of the affection he Of
fered genuine i'll one sense. but affected by
certain mercenary motives which the girl
herself did not suspect
There was no Christmas feeling Of peace
and goodwill in the young girls breast
Lynlans pesent--a set Of sapphires-
brought q rush of tears to her eyes.

She bowed distar,t1y to lngot, spoke g.
greeting to Lyman Childer, and had her
hand on the inner door when the latter in-
terposed:
"Your father has gone home, Miss Ever
leigh. 1t is after his hour for leaving"

old ladies had their donations Of tea and to-
bacco, and Julie Streng found soft: warm

Althea's hands.
The blessed Christmas day was at an end
Carol was relieved when her brother took
the seat beside her, leaving Ingot to mount
beside the driver on the way home. She
gave his hand d grateful squeeze, and
nestled close to him under the protecting
robes. She thought she had seen the evil
dences Of a better understanding between
Althea and him that night, and in her own
heart she was making a resolution to trust
him implicitly, at any sacrifice to herself.

PREACHERS FOR THE SA-
LOOMS.
Rev. w, r.. Powell Finds
Some of Them.

Rev, W. E. Powell, of the Journal
and Messenger, recently returned
from most encouraging Amend
ment campaigning tour in the
Southeastern part of the State.
He reports the battle red-hot in
Monroe, Mercer and Nicholas coun-
ties, with the Home forces squarely
pitted against the Saloon allies,
and no quarter asked or given.
The most unaccountable and
shameful thing he had toreport was
the fact that he found several pro-
fessed Ministers of the Gospel, fight
ing zealously on the DEVILS side.
What b fearful account these
preachers will have to render, when
the final reckoning day comes, with
the great army of lost souls in ar
ray, that have gone down through
the saloons these recreant preachers
are defending! How dare they thus
insult and defy every precept of re-
ligion and every dictate of common
sense and conscience! May the
good Lord have mercy on their
souls

InteIligencer LIbels.

Friends of Prohibition especially
should be constantly On guard
against vicious campaign libels,
So far the Wheeling Intellsge4acer
seems to have the lead in running
the eI-Afidavit Mill! for this
campaign, and is drumming for
grists against the Prohibitionists.
Recently it published lie out of
whole cloth, saying that the Dem
ocratic Committee at Buckhannon,
challenged Mr.. Hubbard to meet
Mr.. Carskadon in discussion, thus
to prove their oft repeated talsehood
that the Prohibitionists and Dem
ocrats were acting in harmony.
This outrage was climaxed by the
insinuation that Mr.. Carskadon
would not vote the Prohibition
ticket and was followed up by three
att1davlts from men swearing they
heard him say he would vote for
Cleveland.
Of course all men of intelligence
and common sense will regard such
statements as absurd on their face,
and such methods as infamous, but
the purpose is to deceive the igno.
rant and excite the prejudices and
and passions Of the vicious. Argu.
moessts they have none, and lies they
must have.
In another column Mr.. Carskad-
on denounccs this libel and warns
the people against all futher grists
from these campaign SANDER mills.

cit Makes Us Tired

The votes that count for Harri-
son and temperance will be those
that are cast for the Republican
Party; the votes that count for
Cleveland and the Saloon will be
those cast for the Democratic
and Third Parties.-Prestoa Journal.
1t makes US tired to read such
cheap, vicious demogogy in decent,
respectable journals. Brother Daw-
son we'll knows that such declara-
tions are silly stuff.
He knows that Prohibition votes
will not be counted for Cleveland
and the Saloon. He knows that
Fisk votes will not be counted for
Cleveland nor for Harrison, and he
knows that Republican victory
means the perpetuation of the in.
fernal Liquor Traffic, just as Demo
cratic victory means the same; and
he knows that every vote for the
Prohibition party counts against
the Saloon.
Away with all such silly twad.
dlel Why not appeal to the judg
ment and conscience of voters and
ask them to vote their convictions ?
If the Republican party is the
Temperance party, why isn't the
Journal filling its editorial columns
with appeals for Republicans to
work and vote for the Amendment ?
Why isn't the Republican press of
the State urging its ratification
1t is the shame OF the age that
leading political papers will re-
sort to such logical tricke7y to ad.
