'Ohl'' exclaimed Alice: 'tAko care.
there's a h.h-hole m the fence; he can
get through"
The professor stopped and peered be-
tween the pickets. Then he saw the
bulldog: The next moment the pro-
fessor had vanished into the house.
''Ah-h!' screamed Alice; please to
come back and save Jane"
i She had miscalculated the professors
gallantry. In another moment he re-
appeared bearing in his hand q huge
navy revolver.
"P]ease to go into-the house." he
said, II might hit you.'
But Alice remained transfxed with
breathless anticipation. The profess
sor advanced cautiously toward the
fence. When he had reached posi-
ton from which he could see the dog,
he pointed the pistol carefully, turned
away his head, shut his eyes and pulled
the trigger. There was tremendous
report; splinters few in every direc-
ton and a cloud of smoke obscured
the professors view. The astonished
dog laid back his ears and fed down
the street as if he thought that the
end of the world had come. No soon
err had he gone than Alice rushed for
ward, seized the unhappy cat, and,
pressing the animal convulsively to
her bosom, rushed into the house.
When the professor got the smoke out
of his eyes, and found that girl, cat
and dog had all disappeared, he mar
veled greatly at the extent of his own
prowess; and had he not caught q
glimpse of Alice through the window,
would certainly have gone and SUR
rendered himself to the town consta-
BILE.
Thenext day the professor rose early
and robbed his landlady. He stole a
saucer of milk and went out to look
for the gray cat, of course. He found
Jane basking in the sunlight. As a
basker in the sunlight there was no cat
that could surpass Jane. The professor
stole through the opening in the fence
and set the saucer of milk under James
whislzers. At that instant window
flew open, fair head popped out, and
timid voice said:
''Thank you"
Then the window shut with a bang,
the professor jumped clear over the
fence and disappeared. When he re-
turned from school that afternoon he
found a note ON his table. 1t said:
II meant thank you for saving Jane, not for
milk"
That was all. Day after day the
professor tished vainly for an opportun-
ity to see that girl again, but he could
not. He had vague suspicious that she
watched him from behind half-closed
blinds and half.drawn window cur.
tains; but he could not verify his sus-
picions. They were true enough. Poor
Alice! She was in a miserable state of
mind on account of her own dreadful
forwardness in sending that note. But
the damage was done now.
The professor sought consolation in
the society of Jane. With stolen
saucers of milk he enticed the cat
through the fence, and finally up to his
room. There he used to pick the purr.

TEMPERANCE sTILL EXISTS.
There Arc Towns in Europe Where whis-
Ky Is Not Sold.
In no country of the continent of
Europe is the sale of Intoxicating
liquors forbidden. and in all of them is
the sale of drink in some shape so uni
versal that it has until lately been sup
posed that there was not single viii
lage, however small it might he, in
Europe which had not it's wine or beer
shop.
Some mention of this supposed fact,
however, has brought out the real fact
that there are several villages where
the people are all voluntarily total alb
stainers, and where, as a consequence,
no vine or beer shop can make its
way. One of these villages is a very
prosperous little place in the region
known as the Mollthal, in Austria.
Still another such village is the little
commune of Buc in the district Of Bel
fort, France.
The fact is noted that Buc is one of
the richest villages, for it's population,
in France. Its inhabitants are mostly
engaged in agriculture, and are among
the most industrious and contcnted
people in the world.
1t is not from poverty, therefore,
that these Austrian and French villag-
ers are total abstainers from the wine
and beer which are. so universally
drunk in those countries. The poorer a
town is, indeed, whether in the old
world or the new, the more likely is it
to be found well supplied with drink
ing places.
Though the drinking of wine and
beer has been so universal in Europe
that it has come to be regarded as tenn
perance itself, it is nevertheless true
that alcoholism has become q great
and increasing evil in nearly every
European country, and is filling with
alarm many public men and thinkers

Emperor Williams Proposals in Regard

Emperor. Williams bill for the pres

federal council and within the last
few weeks has been laid before the
reichstag Its specific aims are to dis

theft in the small whisky saloons fire.
quented by the poorer classes.
After the enumeration of conditions
which will prevent the granting of
licenses in specified places and to men
of a certain character, the bills iron
clad provisions for the control of the
retail trade in whisky, brandy, ETC.,
are stated. These strong spirituous
liquors may not be sold in less than
half-pint quantities or in rooms occu-
pied for ether mercantile purposes
Every landlord shall be arrested as
soon as he is discovered not to have
taken all possible steps to keep his
questionable women.
In case a man becomes drunk in a
saloon he may be elected only when
the landlord has arranged to have him
taken home in a cab or by a specially
employed escort. The expenses of get
ting a drunken man from the saloon to
his lodgings are to be paid eventually
by the man himself. All drinks must
be paid for before the drinker leaves
the saloon. Local authorities may for
bid the opening of saloons between mid
night and eight a. M, and may prohibit
the employment of mattresses wher-
ever strong spirituous liquors are sold.
All these provisions and about ten or
twelve more are to be enforced with
the aid of ten paragraphs full of pen
alties.
Most Germans are happy, doubtless,
that two or three stringent paragraphs
in the law are mot to be applied to
