MENT ALLEGED REASON.

The head of another saloon man was
Topped off by the city council last night
and dropped in the basket beside that of
the firm of Wineman 81 Metcalf for vio-
lation of the Sunday closing ordinance.
The victim last night was Caesare
Brunn, whose saloon was located at 1856
West South Temple street. His license
was declared forfeited on the recommen-
dation of Chief Of Police George a. Sheets.
after a strenuous fight to prevent this
action on the part of Councilman r S.
Fernstrom, j. II. Preece and John Holley.
who insisted that the matter be referred
to the council committee on licenses be
fore drastic action is taken.
Councilman Fernstrom made the open
charge that the license had been declared
forfeited by the chief of police, not be-
cause he wanted to see Salt Lake a
dry town, but out of motives Of re-
venge, iand out of petty spite against the
saloon keepers because. he claimed. they
had refused to pay a campaign assessment

lie hissed the last words through his teeth.
The hateful grin slowly left his lips; they closed
loosely over his evil-looking teeth. His head
sank on to his hands. The silence was mbroken
save by his labored, uneven breathing and an
occasional sound that might have been a sob.
Jonas Quaich loved Olive Chaster fercely A
few short months and he had hoped to call her
wife. And now He lifted his head, smoothed
the tell-tale lines OF passion from his brow, re
sumed his book and sat back, watching and
waiting with the intensity Of wild animal about
to seize its quarry.
Gradually his features relaxed and became
oalmer. His head sunk back till it rested against
the cushioned back of his chair. His eyes closed
slowly and reluctantly after the tension
Still he waited, his pulses yet quivering from
the recent blow. The moments passed. Silence

Presently his senses were rewarded. The gate
was unlatched, light step came up the graveed
walk and. passing the front door, made its way
with accustomed ease round the house to the
dining room window. which opened on the gar
den. In that room Jonas Quaich waited. A
soft tap on the window frame made him start
slightly.
Come in!' he called gently in even, musical
tones.
The window opened and woman appeared.
She was tall and dark, with creamy pallor and
soft. dark melting eyes; 1.-THE and supple she
scarcely looked her full height. which was above
the ordinary. Fastening the window carefully,
she came forward and took Jonas Quach's hands
in her own soft ones.
"You didn't expect tonight?' she said
smiling down into his eyes.

word" he replied returning her look full

girl and boy love, interrupted by the want o
money. Now he had come into property. They
were going to be married almost Immediately
Then his silence struck her as strange She
glanced M and remained gazing in vague
terror. His face wore smile.-an awful smile
Seeing her fear he strove to reassure her, strok
ed her pretty hands and let his fingers stray into
her soft, curling dark hair. She dropped hei

he broke the long silence.

pages of the book he had been reading; then
they wandered to the plate at his elbow wherein
stood lemon and a knife.

wild prayers not to betray her. Hedgeley was Of
violent temper. He might do anything il
he knew.

whose face shall be before me till l die
He held her clinging beseeching hands firmly
into his with wild, half-terriied gaze. Then
he smiled, and saw the look on her face freeze
to horror Her hands stirred in his grasp. He
held them more firmly
"Yes." he said, with an awful look in his
eyes; "my face shall be before you when you
die. for you are going to die now!"
For moment she struggled desperately for
life; then a stifed shrek came from her lips
and she sank in heap on the floor at his feet

ceaseless regularity, the heavy, slow, drawing
laugh.

"Well?"

1T was real enough to cause me bad half
hour, Olive said Jonas Quach, looking at her
keenly. Her face expressed sweet sympathy, and
her eyes looked straight into his with only
shadow of reproach in their soft depths.
What were you reading to give you such
nightmare?" she asked, taking up the book he
had laid aside. ooh, didn't think it well work
ed out. Not real, you know. No one would
have done those things really"
THE book is unpleasant. but it's true enough
to life" said Jonas Quaich slowly. "At first
thought not, but mature consideration I agree
with the author" With an effort he threw off
his depression.
We'll then, We must see what we can do for
cousin Tom, Olive, and then, reward, you

Jonas Quaich has become less critical of others,
though more so of himself, for he never forgets
one night and the glimpse he had of possibilities
of crime and horrors unspeakable in his own
nature.

be Ezekiel He had wronged that faithful ami
NAL. Stay! Who that by the fire with
a shotgun across her lap, big mug of coffee in
one hand and chunk of corn bread in the other?
He tried to get up, but found that his arms
and legs were bound. Mrs. Peters nodded pleas
antly as she drained the mug of coffee to the
dregs and took succulent steak from the fire.
"Sorter makes one hungry gittin' up early"
she said, taking bite at the steak, and disclosing
as she did so two rows of flashing white teeth
"H-how did you git here?" Faltered Peters.
"Oh that yaller dog came home to poggleise,
so | cowhided him, tied thong round his neck,
and made him bring me here. He took it like
lamb"
"And what have you tied me up for?" asked
Peters.
Mrs Peters carefully reflled her mug. ooh,
you amt had your cowhiding yet. she said
in matter-of-fact tones. when I've finished
breakfast I'll tend to you right off"
But I'm burned hungry faltered Peters.

passion, hungry to make a man of you, Sam
uel; and its got to be done I've prayed for
you, wrassled for you, and it amt no manner

see If | can't cowhide that disease out of you"
Something touched the manhood latent within
him. When Mrs. Peters had finished her break
fast he rolled over in a convenient attitude and
submitted to his thrashiDg even as Ezekiel had
taken it-like lamb. "Lay it on!" he implor
ed, when Mrs. Peters, dewy-eyed and breathless
paused for moment.

tearfully, "or is the disease cowhded out of your"

Melinda dropped her cowhide and burst into

When she had ministered to her husband she
united Ezekiel who looked at Peters with an
air of conscious virtue. We've put out, taken
our lickin, and now Wen let bygones be by

we've had breakfast"
Some six months later, as Peters handled an
infant Samuel, his eyes fell on the cowhide which
hung beside his old gun. "Best doctor / ever

grin. 'Ive good mind to try it on the baby,

pine branches at particularly brilliant star.
Presently he reused himself sufficiently to throw
an armful of sticks the fire, put his head on
Ezekies lean ribs, after the manner of his
bachelor days, and fell asleep in spite of his
hunger.
About five hours later Mr.. Peters awoke with
a start. II seemed to him that he had slept for
FIVE minutes only, but the sun shone cheerfully
through the stately branches of the pines, an
oriole flashed across the little glade, and below
him the Ottawa River flowed placidly on. He
felt hungry stiff, footsore and Ezekiel no

The desertion of this friend of his bachelor
days moved Mr.. Peters almost to tears. Ezekiel
had probably thought out the situation, and
had had enough of it. Who was he to be wiser
than dog? And yet he regretted that he could
not tell Ezekiel what he thought of his treach
cry. He had no gun fishisng line, no money
in his pouch no whisky in his bottle. He would
die rather than return to this overbearing tyrant
who had hinted with such rude emphasis al
the necessity for work And yet--and yet! How
hungry he was!
What was that appetizing fragrance which pen
etrated to his nostrils through the keen morn
ing air? Surely it was coffee! Coffee and ven
