RETAIL LIQUOR DEALERS.
Proceedings Conducted Behind
Closed Doors.


WASHINGTON. Oct 16.-The pro-
ceedings of the National Association
of Retail Liquor Dealers today were
conducted behind closed doors. Plans
were discussed for more thorough or
ganization of liquor interests through
out the country. Speeches were made
by many delegates, reviewing the
fight made by temperance organiza-
tions and the evident concentration of
the movement at the capital Of the
nation. The need of more radical steps
for protection of their interests and
more powerful organization at Wash
ington to combat the temperance
movement was urged and it was as
serted that without some such action
the effect of the movement would soon
be felt in the shaking of the liquor
interests from center to circumfer-
euce"
An elaborate banquet was rendered
the delegates this evening. They will
meet in Philadelphia tomorrow and in
New York Friday as the guests of the
local liquor bodies.

A SUCCESS.
Inauguration of the Festival of
Mountain and Plain at Denver

Mountain and Plain at Denver.
DENVER, Colo, Oct 16-Today's in
auguration of the Festival of Mountain
and Plain was an immense success in
every way. Not only did the big pageant
OF progress far surpass the expectations
even of the carnival managers theru-
selves, but the crowd of visitors from
outside towns exceeded any ever wit
messed in Denver
The parade from every standpoint out
ranks anything of the kind ever seen i'll
the west. Each of the five divisions was
a parade in itself and altogether it made
over three miles long, which was an hour
and half in passing given point.
Pioneers and floats representing the
advancement of Colorado from the time
of the Cliff Dwellers to today came first.
Every float was a feature many of them
being genuine works of art in the pre-
paration of which no expense had been
spared The gaily attired band of In
dams attracted more attention, perhaps,
than anything else. though old jim

senting mineral wealth of the state, that
the most gorgeous effect was seen. Grip
pie Creek, LeadVille and Creole excelled
all others, their floats truly representing.
The marvellous richness of their respec-
tive camps Agriculture, horticulture
and live stock came next. Mesa and
hlontrose counties, making the best dis
plays, closely rivaled by Fremont and
other counties. Manufacturers uf Den
yer had the next division, doing them
selves proud in the matter of their dis
plays. The distinguished citizens who
have been most prominent ie building
the state constituted the fourth division
of the parade, while the last was de-
voted to the various civic societies in
which the old timers came in for a large
share of praise. Tonight the tramway
company ran a dozen illuminated cars
over their lines in the business section.
Colored electric lights made the liter
ally solid mass of light. The street
decorations excel even those of the con-
clave. Sixteenth street is festooned with
1000 electric lights and nearly all of the
PRINCIPAL business houses are illuminated.

CAROLINA'S CONVENTION.
Negro Cohabitntion Question Agnin
Comes Up.

ZONES I y.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 16.-The
South Carolina constitutional conven1
ton reassembled today. The negro
coha bitation question again came up
and the whole question was reconl-
mitted, when the convention took
recess. The provision under consider
alton declares that it should be I'M
lawful for any white person to marry
with any person having negro blood
in his or her veins and providing for
the punishment of cohabitation by the
legislature.
An amendment was introduced this
morning. excepting from the provisions
of the law those people in the state
who. although they have slight inter
mixture of negro blood. have the sta
tus of white people. There is much
difference of opinion as to what IS
best to be done about this class, and
consequently the committee was in
structed to bring in another PROPOSE
ton, which, it is hoped, will meet the
approval of everybody.

''We'd all do just as much"-as, indeed,
very probably they would. But Thorn
ton determined he would cultivate
Morgan, decorated or not, and SO it had
happened that it was the s'plebe,'' the
newest conner to the regiment, who
spent an hour almost every afternoon
before stables playing checker with
the invalid veteran, rarely noticing
silent, busy Connie, who came and
went, or sat beside them with her
needlework, darning the youngsters
stockings Or sewing on buttons by the
dozen, yet saying never a word. Perry
had no end of interest in his new pro-
feSSiOn, but none whatever in children.
1t was the proper thing for him to be
devoted to the senior subaltern, who,
in other armies, perhaps, would have
won such distinction, and he wrote
with both pride and complacency to
his friends at homo of his daily inter
course with a fellow who did what
Beresford was V. cd for at Ulundi.
"But nobody out here seems to think
it worth mentioning" he added. He
was immensely proud of being second
lieutenant in troop whose cap
tain had won three brcvets with
the regulars, and whose first
lieutenant had done as much with
the volunteers, both in the great civil
war; but he hadn't been long enough
in the service to find out that brevets
followed on the heels of the great re-
bellion like rain on the boom of battle,
deluging everybody who happened to
be around. He found Morgan loved to
hear of life in foreign armies, while
no one else had time to listen. He
loved to talk and so he came. He loved
to hear of cavalry campaigns during
the war, and soon got Morgan to tell
ing and explaining, and SO, little by
little, he came to be looked upon as the
sunshine of their day. He was ''pul1-
ing Morgan out of himself" and when
the spring came on the ''old man. was
surely better, able to sun himself on
the southern porch and watch the
drills on the broad parade. Connie was
but child. Who could have thought
for her? And so here she stood this
exquisite May morning, just bordering
on womanhood, as the sweet spring
buds were bursting into bloom and
with yearning, outstretched arms, with
a deeper, fonder glow in the big,
brown eyes than mortal had yet seen,
gazing longingly away down the distant
valley, down along the silver windings
of the stream, fringed by the fresh
green OF the cottOnwoods, away from
the dull brown buildings of the old
frontier post, away from barracks,
quarters and coral, away from it's
bustling life and care and sorrows,
away from that piclzeted inclosure far
out over the prairie where now the

CHAPTER ".

The cavalry battalion had been gone
only two days. Some few of the Of
ficers' families, we'll assured that it
would be Thanksgiving in earnest be-
fore they could hope to see the cam
paigners again, had taken wing to the
east and were domiciled with friends
or relatives far from scenes which so
constantly brought to mind the image
of the absent husband and father. In
most cases, however, the little house
holds remained at the post, assured by
department headquarters that they
should be undiSturbed in the tenure of
their army homes. Morgan, whose
health and spirits had slowly revived
as the sun came nOrthward over the
line, had striven to convince Old Tin
top and the surgeon that it would do
him good to go, but was fatty denied
the luxury he craved and hidden to re-
main at the post. The department COM
mander came out to look over the field
in early May, and told Morgan that he
meant to keep him on duty at the post
all summer in the hope that the autumn
would find him promoted to his cap
taincy. Then he might be able to get
an order to go before a retiring board
and GO home to the old state and old
friends he had not seen for years.
Morgan thanked the kind-hearted chief
for all his help and consideration, but
his tired eyes wandered away over the
prairie to the lonely grave he often
managed to visit now. If it were only
possible to retire for good and all. how
willingly would he go and be laid away
there by Carries side, were there only
some provision for Constance and the
babies! It appalled, him to realize that
they were dependent absolutely upon
SO slender a thread as his life; that he

Slowly Morgan turned, unwilling to
think, reluctant to believe, unable to
wound. It was all so sudden, so utter
ly unlocked for. What on earth could
Thornton have to say to her? Where
was the letter to him? Oh, here. in
