Massey St. Quintin. although he pro-

ladies with equanimitv, was not stoical

making inquiries about its apparent sud-

a telegram had been received in answer,
and at once Miss Stanley had ordered
the maid 70 pack for a journey. And
Rose had not disclosed their next des-
tination, so that all the valeB could tell
was that the ladies had gone to South
ampton.
St. Quinun tried 10 feel as confident
as ever about tie lady who had reused
In him such passionate admiration, but
he did not feel quite easy. He had, per
haps. the instructive British mistrust of
foreign relations. and wished that he
could have heard the names Of some Of
Miss Densley's English friends.
It was not that he had the least
suspicion that the beauty herself was
anything but pearl among women. but
her movements were certainly erratic,
and he chose to ascribe this fact 10 her
French family, and wished heartily that
he could have met them face 10 face at
once, instead of having to wait month
for that satisfaction.

younger man would fain have concealed

supposed. put his friend out Of danger

LIQUOR DEALERS PREPAR
ING FOR FIGHT.

Atlantic City, n. j., June 81.
Injection of antisaloon sentl-
ments into the platforms of both
great political parties in the next
national campaign was predicted
at last nights session of the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association in this city.
A call was made for the fedora
ton of liquor interests in the Uni
ted States, not only to meet the
present sweep of prohibition aglta-
ton, but to prepare to check the
movement in the Presidential con-
ventions of 1908, speakers declar-
inc that the growth of the cru
sades against liquor will force the
party leaders to recognize the ne
cessity of placing some platform
doctrine" dealing with the subject
before the people at the coming
election.
The organization of great cam
paign fund to meet the new condi-
sions was advocated by the pro-
tective bureau of the association,
md big contributions to this fund
from every liquor interest were
Urged"
The edict has gone forth. Amer
ca must be free from the curse of
he legalized saloon. Kentucky
will do herself honor by blotting
nut the traffic. Her congressional
delegation should be unanimous in
demanding such interstate com
nerce law as will protect our
state from whiskey men in other
states. Gov. Beckham was nomi-
lated for United States Senator
" temperance men and because Of
his stand for temperance. The
extension of the County Unit Law
will be urged by the Democratic
md Republican parties in Ken
Jucky this year, and we expect to
see Kentucky line up solid for
temperance. She has been dis
lonored and her people damned by
ahe legalized trade.

IRE persuaded to stand for the re-
lemption and elevation of our
boys and girls. If the devil gets

excessive use of intOxicants. let us
save the young generation.

BRIGHTER.


Because they violated h {
Sunday closing laws, su #
cred gambling and conducted a
disorderly house, the Linville
Brothers had their license revoked
and will be unable to continue
business at their saloon during
1907 unless they pay the en-
tire cost of a new license, $50.
When the hour for inquiry came
on they and their attorneys failed
to appear. Their attorney told
City Attorney they were guilty.
hence Mayor Combs, of Lexing-
ton, revoked their license. The
Mayor said:
Il mean to see that the place is
conducted in accordance with the
law. If | have another complaint,
| will shut down that saloon a.
tight as a drum"
We congratulate the Mayor.
Perhaps the saloon element in Lex
ington will learn that they must
regard the law and their oaths.
