Concernins-th the Dfspensary!

Signs are cropping out in the general
assembly that the administration of
the A9ispensary law is beginning to
ardas Rspicion. MIR. T.. Y. Williams,
who has ben prominent as q Reformer,
and a friend Of the d~ispensary, did not
hesitate last.week to discuss the evil
Influence OF tho. system In politics and
his language excited no surprise. There
is no disposition on the part Of Mr..
'Williad TO repeal the law but, along
with many eRther honest and clear
headed men, he sees that the greatest
danger to the law lies In the reluctance
of Its friends to correct it's abuses. The
enemies of che dispensery at this time
are those who insist INSTRUMENTATION
of its affairs implies attack upon It.
Whatever of merit the d~ispensary may
have 1t will go wrong IL it is not
watched.

Poor Billy looked around helpiessiy,

Mrs. Movor was beside him and, IN q

said:

Billy gazed at her with q hopeless
look in his yes and shook his little
head. She leaned slightly toward him.

gently. said;
"Comc, Billy; there's no fear" and in
a lower voice, God will help you"
AS Billy went UP, following Mrs. Ma

he had put his name to the pledge.
Then they came UP, nan by man. and

quent glances toward Mrs. Mavor I
could see they were always conscious
Of her presence. No men are SO truly
gentle MS are the westerners in the
presence Of a good woman. They were
evidently Of all classes and ranks orig
inally, but now and In this country Of
real measurements they ranked sim

"See that handsome young chap of
~dissipated ap%pearance7" said Craig.
'"That's Vernon Winton, an Oxford
graduate, blue blood, awfully plucky,
but quite gone. When he gets repent
ant, instead Of shooting himself he
comes to Mrs. Mavor. Fact"
From Oxford university to Black
Rock mining camp is something OF q
STEP I replied.
~That queer looking little chap in the
corner is Billy Breen. How In the
world has no got here?" went on Mr..
Craig.
Queer looking he was-a little man,
with a small head set on heavy, square
shoulders; long arms, and huge hands
that sprawled all over his body; alto
gether q most upgainly specimen Of hui
manity.
BY this time Mrs. Mavor had finished
with the manager and was In the cen.
ter Of q group Of miners. Her grand
air was all gone, and she was their
comrade, their friend, one of them
selves. Nor did she assume the role
Of entertainer, but rather did she, with
half shy air, cast herself upon their
chiyalry, and they were too truly gen.
tlemen to fail her. 1t is hard to make
ers, talk. But this gift was hers, and
1t stirred my admiration to see her
draw on n grIszled veteran to tell how,
twenty years ago. he had crossed the
I Great Divide and had seen and done
what no longer fell to men to see or
dc, in these new days. And so she won
the old timer. But 1t was beautiful to
see the innocent guile with which she
caught Billy Breen and drew him to
her corner near the organ. What she
was saying 1 knew not, but poor Billy
was protesting, waving his big hands.

1NMaHHN&NE0tners from drinking.
There was no long argument, but he
spoke ut white heat, and as he appeal
ed to the men to think, each not of
himself alone, but of the others as well,
the yearning born of his long months
of desire and toll vibrated in his voice
and reached to the heart. Many men
looked uncomfortable and uncertain,
and even the manager looked none too
cheerful.
At this critical moment the crowd got
a shock. Billy Breen shuffied out to
