than one occasion he stopped 10 con-
gratulate them.
That's the stuff. boys: he would
say There's not a fight or. even: an
angry word in a barrel Of it: Stick 'to
IT, and by the time the saloons reopen
you Will. be able TO snap your fingers
n defiance al the rum demon. whose
slaves you were.S =
Then, addressing the most seasoned
malt bibber Within range Of. his voice
he would add: e:Yeur conversion to
temperance alone suffiees TO reward our
worthy Mayor for his. fortitude In
keeping the grogshops- closed In the
face OF q mighty protest. =.

the noble response. - ). -.
q. So exalted in. mind was Patrolnlan
Thompson by what he saw at John
Howe's .refreshment shack that dis.
Illusion came 10 him as. double shock.
When he saw onegof the supposed. con-

rapid descent OF the waterwax. and
then, so exalted was she. In spirit. that

The resultant explosion startled him
almost as much as il frightened hik
fellow passengers in. the boat, and. with:
a conscio nsness that he deserted reprf-.

But he regarded the arrest of his charm
as an injustice, because HIS. chtlIn> had

Cabanass, and his. cham. a. stout little
fellow wearing chauffeur's. goggles. was
