she lacked the least comprehension Of
the situation.
But William understood it better.
He saw the Confederate uniform, and
with it the danger menacing him, and
slowly thrusting his hand into the
breast-pocket of his coat, where he
carried his pistol, he replied with cold
foimality:.

the captain to retire. But instead Of
doing so, he advanced close to the
young officer, saying in a low tone:

he was betrayed, and did not doubt a

TO deny his identity was impossible.
Only prompt action could be of SER

said in a loud, sharp tone:

Florence uttered a cry Of terror.

full extent Of the peril, but the cap
tain remained unmoved, though the
pistol was aimed at him.

The License System Goes in
to Operation in Manila
NATIVES NOR SOLDIERS
Are to Have Liquor Sold to
Them, and the Saloons
Must Close on Sunday The New Reg
ulatiOn Will Doubtless be Big
Improvement

Manila, Dec 5.-The hall occupied
by the United States commission was
crowded today, the occasion being the
public discussion of the Manila liquor
license bill. The section providing for
banishing saloons from the Escolta
and down town plazas was strongly
critisied.
Judge Taft explained thatthe United
States courts had settled the right of
the police power to limit the sale of
liquors and yet the places where they
were sold were unlimited. He declares
that the condition of the Escolta,
owing to the presence of saloons, was
disgraceful. The Judge admitted that
it was a hardship to some, but he
denied that injustice was being done.
The licenses expire in January and
the section of the bill requiring re-
movals will take effect in April.
The bill provides for license of
600 pesos, semiannually for reg
ular saloon: 800 for a theater and 500
for hotel, besides u bar license.
None of these will be allowed to sell a
native intoXicants. Places are
licensed separately for the latter.
They are prohibited from selling to
soldiers and Sunday closing is re-
quired. But hotels can serge liquors
with meals. Licenses are imposed on
distillers, brewers and wholesale
dealers.
The commission has passed an act
requiring wholesome food supplies for
animals used in transportation and
imposing penalties for cruelty to an
imals.

And so Folsom had gone TO meet
Burleigh, and the girls had planned
ut least Jessie had, that Marshall aft
er drill should ride beside them into
town and have chat in the parlor
while she wrote to mother in the H.
brary. But thing happened that no
one could have foreseen. just before
drill was over and while they were
still watching it from their seats in
the covered wagon, "A buggy drove up
alongside and Maj, Burleigh jumped
out, gave the reins to his companion.
and bade him come to him as soon as
he had finished what he wished to do
at the suffers. The majors face was
perturbed, that of his companion
looked black and ugly. 1t was Capt.
Newhall, and something was amiss.
The latter barely tipped his hat in
driving away. the former heaved a
sigh of relief then turned to greet
the girls.
Ten minutes passed In constraint
and awkwardness. Burleigh felt that
he was unwelcome, but his eyes were
fixed in fascination on Elinor Fol-
som, and he could not go. Presently
drill was dismissed. and Dean, all
aglow, came galloping up, his orderly
trumpeter following. Not until he
had joyously greeted both the girls
did he see who was standing by the
forward wheel on the opposite side.
Good morning. Mr.. Dean" said
Burleigh, affably. 81 never saw that
troop look so WELL"
Good morning, sir said Dean, cold
ly. Then turned to speak again to
Miss Folsom when the buggy came
whirring back
"He isn't here Burleigh." said the
occupant, petuiantly. Hes in town,
and you've got to find him right off.
Come on"
Burleigh turned livid. Capt New

"They are friends who will be glad to

stranger, thicl>ly, and it was easy to
see that he had been drinking. All the
same Burleigh went.

the door, face to the painting and dis

shook his clenched fist at the retiring
pair.

WHEATLEY TO CONTEST.
If the Soldier Vote does not Elect Him
to Congress.

Topeka, Dec. s. George W.. Wheat.
ley of Galena, who was the Republican
nominee for Congress in the Third dis
trict, was in this city last evening.
Mr.. Wheatley has not yet given up
hope of being elected. Judge A. NJ.
Jackson, the Populist candidate, had
a majority of PCS. There are in the
neighborhood of 300 soldiers in the
Philippines and if they allnvoted, the
result may be changed. AS far as
known the Republican State committee
was the only one to send ballots for
the soldiers inthe Philippines. Under
the military law the old fashioned
ballots are used.
Should the returns from the Philip
pines not be large enough to elect Mr..
Wheatley he will then contest the
election of Judge Jackson on the
charge of fraud. 1t is claimed the
Democrats imported nearly 900 voters
from Missouri and the Indian territory
so as to be able to swing the election
in the Third district.

girls, u trait by no means rare in sol

than Pappoose or Jessie he had never

very day, and Dean and Loomis were of
the party, as were other young people

and the two boys were mentioned as

mental reservation. Dean at once had
begged to be excused. After the morn
ing's disappearance Of Burleigh and

named the pair, Marshall had ridden
into Gate City at the side of the Fol-

the old trader himself, who looked
