 In the course of many wanderings and as many diverse experiences he had come to the province of Fan Chau with a.-Iegend of a deserted gold mine of wonderful richness ringing In his ears and parchment map very yellow and apparently of great age In the inside pocket of his khaki coat. But just outside Fn-Chang he encount- cred one of the many bands of high waymen that infest the region. Be- ing averse to trouble in any form, his two coolies had left him to face the music alone; and while they fled howl : ing with terror he put up single handed but unavaf1ing resistance, which, while it lasted, was a joy to his wild. reckless soul
 When darkness had fallen and there were only the great, silent stars to see, the two coolies came creeping back. They found him lying in the mud, his clothing torn, his face a mass of blood, and one arm broken where he had shielded his head from the blow of a cudgel. Near him lay two limp, silent figures, their yellow features livid and distorted.
 The coolies held a whispered con- eultation. Then they lifted him be- tween them and bore him down the slough, which was called a road, to- ward the distant lights of Fu-Chang. But first they rdfied his clothes. and in an inner pocket they came across a map and a gold coin that the highway men had overlooked The map, hay- ing no intrinsic value. they replaced.
 They left him at the mission in Flu Chang. and went their way, for the potentialhies of that golden coin were strong upon them.
 Another man would have died; but Robert Barlow had a grip on life that was almost uncanny. After weeks of unconsciousneas during which 1t seemed that each hour must be his last, he opened his eyes; slowly, pain fully collected his wandering senses; {; then fell to ro,endly cursing the high waymen for misbegotten vandals, and his coolies for equally misbegotten towards. After which he sank back on the cool pillows utterly exhausted. and fell into & deep, refreshing sleep.
 The old missionary smiled knowing Nv. "IIe will live" he said grimly and he went to the kitchen to get some strengthening broth for his patient.
 When Barlow awoke it was early evening He could hear sandals clat- tering by on the uneven pavements of the street. The odor of some

MONTGOMERY WAS DRY

"Thissty Dill" Was Compelled For Ffrst Tine fn MoAths to Drink Soda

And Thfrsty Bill, to whom on the day or rest Montgomery has been as haven from storm tossed sea of water for many moons, wandered helplessly around the streets and avenues of the Capital City. and for the first time Tn many suns. the cry came nothing doing.r
 And Thirsty Bill was thereby conn pelled to refresh himself and regale himself with ice cream sodas and lemon phosphates and like things, that are served by white coated individual over a pretty marble counter, and which are worthy of the approval of none in the eyes of Bill.
 And Bill cried Woe Is us."
 For be it known unto men, that Mont gomery, was yesterday for the first time in years, closed tight and if any of the article that Is alleged to bite like serpent and sting like an adder was disposed of said article was sold with great caution and from a side door. To the ordinary individual searching a thirst cure, the cure was not in the city. Soda fountains did a rushing business and barkeeps had heightened countenances throughout yesterday. Wish I could, but I can't" was heard on every side.
 The reversal of form was first noticed at 12:01 a. m. yesterday. Policemen have ever had fondness for the proximity of 8 saloon, but early yester- day morning they hung to the places with screens like the proverbial drown ing man is supposed to hang to a straw. Every now and then, especially when persons walked in the restaurant en- frances. the police peeped.
 The cause of this change of tactics is supposed to be the passage of the Teague ordinance preventing the sale of liquor on Sundays by compelling all bars to be kept so that the entire en- terior can be seen from the streets on the Sabbath. and divorcing the bars from the restaurants The ordinance further provides that the proprietor and his employees alone shall be allowed to enter the saloons on Sunday. Although the ordinance has not gone into effect. the spirit of the Council in passing 1t, had & healthy effect and when midnight was sounded Sunday the police became vigilant. Many soldiers were in the city, look | ing for a night cap" but in every in | stance. the aforesaid 'cap" could not | be purchased. Soon after midnight | three we'll known saloon men were ar | rested for selling liquor on Sunday.
