The saloon men would come to the

in sullen amazement. They had cause

the women Of the state were thus OH

land"
The afternoon Of that election day
Malcom was suddenly called out to
''The Forks to see Philip Barton. He
had been steadily failing during those
two years, and Mrs. Barton sent for
Kirk in haste, and he went, supposlng
it might be for the last time.
1t was after dark before he came
back to Conrad. Philip Barton had
died that afternoon, unconscious at last
Of the prayer that Malcolm had offered
by the side Of his heartbroken mother.
"God of mercy" cried Malcolm as he
entered the street that night "grant
that this days work in our state has
killed the power of this enemy that has
killed this boy and broken this moth
er's lifev'
The election was over, but no one
could predict the result. AS Malcolm
came up the street it was crowded with
men and women. The Christian Tenn
perance union had been at work all
| day. It had served free lunch to all
| the voters and now was holding pray
er meeting in front of Valmer's place.
The crowd filed the wide street and
overfowed the broad sidewalks Free
whisky had flowed all day. The crowd
was full of men who had been drink
ing, and they were now in a condition
to quarrel.
Dorothy was kneeling in the center
of the women. Malcolm forced his way
up to the edge of the sidewalk in front
of the saloon. He had never loved his
wife as he loved her now. Her face
was glorifed by the Spirits work with
in. He was conscious Of an unusual
disturbance behind him, coming from
the saloon. There were shouts and
oaths and a pistol shot. But still he
continued to gaze at Dorothy, who as
calmly as if in her own room kneeled
there while the confusion in front of
the saloon increased. And never again
i'm all his life will Malcolm Kirk feel
the satanic venom he felt that night in
the rum power which on that eventful
day faced the prayers and the homes
of the women of Kansas.

THE BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION.

THE BATTLE FOR PROHIBITION.
All the way back to Conrad his mind
was at war. He knew deep down in
his soul that he had no joy in the
change he had planned to make. He
knew we'll enough that his call to the
ministry did not mean a ministry with
the pen, but with the voice and in the
personal, living, hand to hand touch
with humanity. j.. . ..
He knew it when he said to Dorothy
there by the ruins, II will" He knew
it as he penned the letter that even
now he supposed had started on it's
eastward journey. He knew it as he

Let us believe in the power of the Spir-
it and go on in his might
During the weeks and months that
followed Malcom had great encourage
ment in his plans for building. He
boldly went to several of the business
men in Coprad-men who were not
church members-and asked them to
help: They did so and in many cases
came to him before he went to them
and volunteered assistance The spirit
Of prayer pervaded the entire church.
Before spring almost enough money
had been raised to build larger struc-
ture than the one that had been burned.
Before that time, however, the tem-
perance agitation had grown into a
great tide Of feeling in Conrad. Doro-
thy never forgot the evening Malcolm
came in and with a glow in his face
that transformed it exclaimed:
"a telegram just received says the
legislature today by the necessary two
thirds vote passed the resolution to
constitution! l never cheered for the
legislature before, but propose three
cheers, three times three, right awayr
Out on the main street that night the
temperance people built an immense
bonfire. The band came out and play

tention during it to the fact that the
battle had only just begun; that there
were nearly two years yet before the
people would be called on to vote on
the amendment. All the time he was
speaking he was conscious that outside
the enthusiastic circle Of temperance
| and Christian people was the whisky
element, sullen, angry, surprised at the
action Of the legislature, venomous,
just beginning to stir itself for the two
years struggle. 1t seemed to Malcom
that he could even that night prophesy
in some degree the satanic character Of
the conflict that made Conrad one of
the fiercest centers Of the fight.
But he was right in saying that the

| of the legislature. The weeks and
months that followed witnessed some
wonderful scenes in Conrad. Now the
women Of Conrad began to show their
power, as they had already been con-
stant influence for years..
Dorothy suddenly assumed a place
she once would never have dared to
take. The women in all the other
churches, recognizing her ability, came
to her and insisted that she take the
presidency Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, that had been or
ganized short time before. She did
so at first with fear and trembling,
then with a brave, joyous confidence
that amazed her and her husband, but
the Lord was leading her.
The time passed, and the election
day drew near. Night after night be-
! fore that eventful day when the people
! of the state were to vote on the ques-
tion Of saloon or no saloon in their
/ commonwealth the woman's union held
street prayer meetings in front Of the
saloons. Dorothy worked and prayed

CHAPTER XIII.
TWENTY YEARS AFTER.


Nearly 20 years had gone by since
that night Of the election, when Doro-
thy had kneeled in front of Valmer's
saloon, in the main street Of Conrad,
when ono evening we'll dressed, dis
tinguished looking gentleman stepped
out Of the west bound express upon the
platform.
"Does Mr.. Kirk live where he used
to?' he asked of one of the loungers at
the station.
Eyes; he lives up by the church, was
the answer.
The stranger went on down the main
street, looking about him curiously,
and finally stopped in front Of a COM
Portable looking house close by good
sized church building.
He went up the short board walk and
rang the bell.
The door was opened by girl about
10 years Of age, a girl with a great pro-
fusion Of heavy brown hair and a face
that people had to look at twice before
they knew whether she was what is
generally called ''pretty'' or not.
''Is your father at homer" asked the
gentleman, smiling
II don't know. Will you come in?
That is, unless you have something to
sell. And then l am sure father is
out" She said it without the least ap-
pearance of being pert or rude.
II haven't anything to SELL" replied
the stranger, laughing. II am George
Wilson, one of your fathers old class
mates in Hermon, and he''-
Come right in,'' said the girl. ANY
one from Hermon is welcome. Eve
heard father speak of you often.'
''This is Faith, is it?'' he asked as he
entered a pleasant sitting room.
Eyes, SIR" she answered shyly. "Ex-
cuse me, I'll call father
She went out of the room, and the
Rev. George Wilson Of the famous In
stitutional church of Boston looked
around him, and his look was full of
the most absorbing interest.
What be felt and thought can per-
haps best be told in a letter which he
wrote home two days afterward while
sitting in the guest chamber of the
parsonage. The letter threw much
light on the events Of the past 20
years and is Of value as coming from
one who saw Malcolm Kirk and his
family at this time, both as a friend
and also as an intensely interested
spectator Of very remarkable life.
Il am sitting in Malcolm Kinks
house," the letter began, land it is
difficult for me to realize all that that
fact means. There is no question in
my mind that Kirk is in some ways
one OF the most remarkable ministers
in this country, and yet he and his
talented wife have remained in this
comparatively obscure place for over
20 years, working quietly and without
ostentation, with some most astonish-
ing results until lately unheard Of by
the churches in the east.
"Since was in Conrad about 20
years ago great changes have occurred
In the state. Perhaps the greatest
change Of all has been the prohibitory
amendment to the constitution. Every
one knows that the election on the leg
islature's act to submit the amend
ment resulted in an affirmative vote.
Every one also knows that the people
have never reversed that decision, and
It seems probable that they never will.
t.You will also remember what an ex-:
sitement was caused by one event in
Conrad at the close Of that famous
election day. listened to the story
from Kinks own lips, and it was as
exciting as any novel ever read.

November 9th, 1900.

Edior Virginian- Pilot, Norfolk, Va:
Dear Sr-Reports OF the telephone
situation in your city are certainly in
teresting reading.
Judge Brooke told the councils of 1897,
when the Bell Company was trying to
st franchise under the name of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, that the Bell Company
would set about an influence to get Il
council TO it's way of thinking This
was said in reply to Mr.. Meany's APP
peal for an unrestricted franchise as to
rates.
Underground and overhead lines
enough to carry about 1900 phones
were built. There were put in between
500 and 900. the cost of which was
about $4,000. Between $4,000 and 50 OO0
of this was for underground. the bal
ance for overhead pole lines, cable and
wire for Norfolk, Portsmouth, Bcrllley.
Brambleton. Lambert's Point and sub
marine cables from Norfolk to Ports
mouth and Berllley. The phones and
Switchboards should not have cost
more than SIS per phone Oncluding
switchboard drop complete to each
'phone), making the plant AZ that time
COST ABOUT SCI 600 WITH OVER
500 PHONES EARNING AND CON
STRUCTION ALREADY DONE TO
CARRY ABOUT 400 MORE PHONES.
Now. let's see what the Bell Compa-
ny loses on account of competition
When the franchise for the States was
secured the Bell COMPANY had 66S
phones In Norfolk. Portsmouth and
Berkeley. including outside lines: their
least price for business phones was
$50. and this price held within one-half
mile OF Norfolk central office The
Southern states franchise aid away
with one-half and one milo rates. the
maximum rates being S3S FOR business
'nhones and SIS for residence 'phoncs
These rates Wore charged 10 subscrih-
ors who subscribed for one wear ut the
time: those for lonecr period paid
less So the rates stood about S25 for
residence and S37 for business phones
The Bell Company had 20 meet these
rates. which were less than half their
old rates Now their loss is Just the
| difference between what they charged
before competition and after. Their
| loss IN thli way was saved to the
| nockets Of the people where IL belongs
| Did the states MAX" ANYTHING? Let's
