SALOONS TO CLOSE SOON.
Absolute Prohibition Goes Into Effect
In Georgia on Jan, list.

Atlanta, Dec. 28-Wednesday there
will be closed in Atlanta under the
state prohibition law eighty-six whisky
saloons, twentythree beer saloons,
twenty-one Wholesale liquor houses
and two wholesale beer houses.
OF these there are sixty-one whisky
saloons for white people and twenty
five for negroes; seventeen beer sa-
looms for whites and six for negroes.
With the saloons and wholesale
houses, one brewery will go out Of
bus ness. AS to what will be done
with the brewery Is not yet known, as
the proprietors decline to give out
any information.
With tha closing OF the whisky
houses will come the cutting down Of
the citys receipts from licenses to
the amount OF $131 1880, the exact
amount Of which was paid into the city
treasury from that source last year.
II Is estimated that the amount Of
capital which has been inves, cd In
the whisky business In Atlanta is
between $4,000 and 81, 900, 900.
Much OF this, 1t Is said, will be in.
vested In the city in other enterprises.
Some will be withdrawn TO other
cities, as several OF the whisky deal
ors have given notice that they would
carry on the same business in Chat.
tanOoga Jacksonville and other cities.
The wipng out OF the whisky bust
ness all al one time will cause quite
a change in one respect OF the city's
business affairs. This was done to a
certain extent once before when Full.
ton county went dry under local op.
ton, but then the wine houses and
the wholesale whisky dealers whose Ii.
censes ran over kept open for some
time after prohibition went into ef-
feet. Next Wednesday the city will
be absolutely dry.

Both trains, 1t Is said, were run

own roof, where he threw himself, utterly
exhausted, face downward on the lounge.
1t was in this position that Mrs Lambert
found him half hour later, and laid her
hand softly on his head.
DO not be discouraged, Willis" still
smoothing his hair gently. "You have been
patient and honest, and must be rewarded
at last. Work will come at some time never
fear. BE my bright, CHEEKY boy again, Willis
ask nothing else to make me happy"
That night, as Willis lay awake in bed he
made up his mind exactly what he should do.
The next morning, then, with the pocket
book carefully wrapped in brown paper, he
started for Judge Austin's office. When the
door opened he found himself confronted by
little, stout gentleman, with white, curly
hair and twinkling blue eyes.
'Will you please tell me, sir, if that is
Judge Austin's office?"
Eyes. Would you like to see him?"
"No, sir. 1t isn't necessary to see him. l
simply have a package l should like to have
delivered to him. 1t is quite valuable. Would
you deliver it for me?"
"Wait minute, my boy. I am Judge Aus
tin, and probably there is an answer"
Presently the. judge spoke, taking off his
glasses and wiPing them deliberately:
VI found It, sir" Willis replied.
Come with me-" said the judge, after
slight pause.
And without word, Willis mcekly follow.
ed him into what he supposed was his private
office; then he mechanically sat down, and
the judge drew chair in front of him
"Now, my boy" he said, kindly, 81 wish
to hear all about it"
Whether it was the gentle "my boy" or
the sympathetic look in the twinkling blue
eyes, Willis never knew, he only knew that
in five minutes he had poured out his whole
heart and soul. showing even palmer than
he thought the misery, unhappiness and shame
of those last two months
"My boy, you have done wisely by telling
me of this as you have. That you did wrong
of course, we both know, but you have taken
the best way to prove your repentance. |
do not believe you will again fall under a like
temptation. And now. to come to the point;
how would you like to work for me?'
"Sir hardly understand"
''You said you were out of situation. did
you not? We'll, / have one here that thing
would just suit you, sort of under clerk -
The expression of Willis face, even If he
had not spoken would have been enough:
and so the bargain was made.
Willis never told his mother the story of
his temptation; not himself but her he spared.
So the story remained a secret between the
Judge and himself

wondering if the two boys discussing It SO
eagerly intended to buy it.
But the next evening it was still there, and
likewise the next and both times Willis
stopped to admire it.
1t was rather later than common. A driz-
cling rain had been falling all day, and now
that night was setting In thick fog was
rising; but still this did not detain Wills
from taking his usual longing look in the win
dow.
He was turning away, remembering sud-
denly how late it was, when his foot struck
against something soft, and almost involun-
tarily. Willis, as he hurried on, looked back
to see what it was. Then, with an exclamation
of surprise, he turned around and picked it
up.
1t proved to be a black pocketbook, evil
IDENTIFY well filled for its sides swelled out,
and it had tight rubber band around it, to
keep it from entirely bursting open.
With a heart beating quickly with exeit :
ment, Willis about to open it, when, hap
pening to look up the street, he saw two work.
men approaching.
Changing his mind then, he slipped it into
his pocket instead; and. still flushed and ex.
cited, he hurried on.
Mrs. Lambert was placing the supper uron
the table when he arrived home, and though
she stopped to receive the kiss Willis always
met her with she still did not notice the I'M
usual glow upon his face; and Willis, thank
full that she did not, escaped for a few min

But the first thing he did was to carefully
close and lock the door, and then, moving
close to the window, to draw out the pocket,
book.
He opened it with trembling fingers, and
then started back with an exclamation Of sur
prise, almost dismay!
A roll of notes, all new and fresh, met his
eyes; and, as he spread them out, he saw
that they were not only ones and twos, but
fves and tens.
Holding the notes rather unsteadily for a
moment, he counted them-one hundred dol

buy!
But, despite this way of looking at it, Will
lis was III at ease and unhappy, He had al,
ways laid so much stress on honesty, and
now it was possible that he was going to be
dishonest himself?
He flinched little at the word, and tried
to cheat himself into the belief that the mo-
ney was really his; but he derived little sat
isfactlon from doing SO, and really never felt
SO miserable in his life, until at last, as day
after day passed, and the bicycle still remain.
ed unsold, he began to wish feverishly that
some one would buy it, if only to place it
beyond his reach.
Every evening Willis purchased a paper and
read the Lost and Found column with mingl-
ed feelings of hope and dread; but for one
week his search was entirely fruitless.
However, this was not going to last always.
One evening, at the beginning of the week,
he read, with smothered sigh:
"IOST-On the afternoon of the 26th, a
black pocketbook, containing one hundred Go!-
lars in money and a number of valuable pa
pers Finder will be rewarded if returned To
Judge Austin. 425 Elm street."
Yes: there was no doubt about it-they
were evidently one and the same and Willis
felt his heart swell bitterly with disappoint
ment and resentment. how could he give it
up? And yet, how could he keep it?
That day, at the shop, everything went
wrong. Mr.. Iintle was cross and unwarrant
ably fault-fnding. Ben, also, probably urged
on by his fathers example, was more than
ordinarily aggravating, until finally there was
fierce storm of words as Willis blood grew
hotter, and at last the long-threatened dis
charge.
Mrs. Lambert knew something distressing
had occurred the minute she saw Willis; but
when he told her what it was, and why he
had been discharged, she uttered no com.
plaint or reproach, and once, as he sat striy-
INC to eat some supper, she stopped and kissed
him gently on the forehead.
Search after search for position had been
met with failure, until he was almost in de-
spair.

Bd&NaoI bright and cheerful But as he turn
G=eS@ssi ed his steps homeward one pleasant
evening, his brow was drawn to-
gether into an impatient little pucker, and
two or three times he struck the ground
angrily with piece of lead pipe he was carry
ing.
with Willis. The plumbing business was nm
doubtedly booming" as the expression goes;
but although he strove to like the occupation,
he became more disheartened and disgusted
daily, and more and more convinced that
whatever genius he possessed surely was not
in the line of a trade.
He had taken the position at a time when
nothing else had offered itself, about ten
months before, and they certainly had been

it had been much worse than usual. Mr.. Lin

was never anything if not domineering, was
so insulting and sneering that Willis blood
began to boil. The result was a quarrel be-

consequence, received a threatened discharge
