his roommate, walked sullenly away
with his captor. Presently the patrol
wagon arrived and, as Barley stepped
inside, he caught sight for an instant
of a familiaraface on the outskirts of
the crowd. It was Ingram, and his
mouth was stretched to its fullest ca
pacity with a satisfied, malicious
smile.
Arriving at the station BARLEY
again repeated his story to the desk

protestations Of innocence.

ing"
A happy inspiration dawned on the
unlucky prisoner. He had a friend
who worked as police reporter on one
of the morning papers, Dick Hartley
by name. Hartley, he informed his
custodian, would be willing to vouch
for him. The sergeant thought for
moment
We'll, Hartley II be here about II
o'clock" he said, "and if you're
friend of his don't mind stretching
point to please him. I'll hold you
here till he comes, and that's the best
l can do"
Meanwhile May Stanhope, looking
her prettiest in the costume of a
Spanish dancer waxed exceedingly
wroth as the hours rolled by and her
appointed cavalier failed to make his
appearance at her side. Her indigna
ton increased to fever heat when In
gram made himself known to her and
professed himself unable to account
for Bartley's non-arrival.
"All I know Is that he got off the
car a little ways from here and l
haven't seen him since" he asserted.
He said he wanted a drink"
May Stanhope drew deep breath
He's starting the New Year we'll"
she remarked viciously. well, I'm
sure l don't care"
A few moments later she was
whirling through the giddy mazes of
waltz with Ingram's arm around
her waist Ingram was immensely
pleased with himself. He knew that
it would be a difficult matter for Bart
ley to explain matters to the girl, after
the account he had given her. There
would be no getting over the fact
of his arrest and, as he would proba-
bly, have to spend the night in a cell,
his sobriety must always remain
matter of doubt to those who were
not aware of the circumstances that
had led him into trouble.
Promptly at II o'clock Dick Hartley
reached the station and, much to his
surprise, found the irate Samuel Bart
ley awaiting him. The latter was re-
leased at once and started for the
scene of festivities, consumed by the
fires of revenge. He arrived about ten
minutes before midnight and mingled
with the crowd. Presently he caught

Ingram rose painfully to his feet
and staggered toward the street. AS
he passed by the entrance to the hall
he obtained a glimpse of BARLEY and

partner. He stood irresolute for an
instant and then started forward as he
saw the object of his vengeance leave
the girl and walk toward the rear Of
the hall.
BARLEY followed at a safe distance
and quickened his pace as Ingram
passed through side door into the
corridor. 1t was a nice, long, dark

THE EAST AND THE WEST.
Great Change in the Iseelin@s 0R sh
 Latter Toward tha F0r1uer.

Great Change in the Feelings 06 the Latter Toward the Former.
 New York Evening Post.
 The difference between the old view of the East and the new one should be noted. Formerly the East was Wall Street It was the lair of the money power, whose tentaelea stretched west and embraced the nation. It was the abiding place of parasite financial kings who took the Western fafwleF by the throat It bought up Western Leg islatures, and ruled the States through the railroads. It gambled and the rest of the country to pay.
 But that state of affairs is now over The West no longer fears Wall Street, though parts of the West diBtrust it. We have been suffering panic, but the Mississippi valley farmer declares that he doesn't know what financial panic means. He Is Independent of the stock exchange. He has taken the control of the railroads into his own hands. He can regard us dfspassionately, and when he delivers Judgment against us, 1t Is not because of the harm we do him, but of our failure to live up to his ideal of good citizenship. We are \ drag on the wheel of progress.
 The West has been radical in two ways; a good way and better way. aa the West sees 1t. The East has been conservative in two ways; a bad way and a much worse way, as the West sees 1t. There ia in the West the rad ieallBm which we may call economic, 1t wanted free silver in lees; 1t has pursued the trusts since then; 1t has tanned the railways; 1t has hankered after the joys of physieal valuations and bank deposit guarantees. But there Is also the equally potent radi- eaIism of the Idea" which is mainly political--the cleaning out of the houses of Legislature. the elimination of the boss, the destruction of the par ty fetich through primary reform and the principle of direct nominations; in a word the movement toward more and more democracy.
 Against this. what has the East to show? The West might forgive us our eonservattism of the market--our in- sistence on rigid financial standards, our more lenient couRtenance to the railroad and the corporation, our pa- tience under a tsriff systam in which theoretically we have all ceased to be- iieve. But it iE that worse conserv- atism which patiently accepts the old abuses of party and boss and result ant public corruption that stirs the West to contempt And if 1t be true that to aspire in the right direction is to he iustined, how far wrong is West ern radicalism in vaunting itself above ua7

BRYAN AT HOME.

Has GaIned Great Strength in Past
 Twelve Years.
 Lincoln Special.
 Twelve years ago. when William J. Bryan made the race for the Prest. deney, he did not have the support or q single minister in his home city, and in the entire nation there were few of the cloth who were for him. Father Nugent, an eloquent Catholic priest. worked for Bryan that year. ana achieved great notoriety thereby:
 This year William J Bryan will nave inc active or passive support Of every minister in Lincoln. Two-thirds or tne ministers of Lincoln already nave oe- clared themselves openly Tor the Dem whIla not caring to mix in politics oneniy. will vote for MT, Bryan in No-
 There are several reasons, for thts change in sentiment among the preacn- CTS. Tn the first place, Bryan mas pesh for twelve years cultivatlng the chuEs es, He has delivered his address on the sTrinca of Peace" in a thousand cities before hundreds of thousands or church goers. In this way he has met thousands of preachers. and the eenial warmth of his personality has sunk deep Ministers who have met him ana have listened to his address nave become admirers of the Neotasheh'
 Then he has for years been a great advocate for foreign missions. which ts the irotect of thousands of preachers During his trlp around the world MT Bryan visited the missions in hun- dred lands, speaking words of eneour- agement. and in his written articles ana books advertising self-deniai and ae- yotIon of the mission workers.
 "He did more for the cause Of misk sions during tbat trip aroundl the world than words can tell" said the Rev. z. O. Doward of sthe East Side Christian Church. "The armies of Charlemagne never made So many converts as has Bryan. The feeling toward missions has changed entirely since Bryan vis- ited the missions and described them in article and speech. The churches of the world owe to him a debt of grati- tude for this"
 Then the preachers of Lincoln are concerned about the beliefs of W. H. Taft. Because he Is a Unitarian. and thus repudlates belief in divinity of Christ. the preachers and other denom- nations are looking Rskanee at him. They are talking much among them- selves and their fiocks about this be- lief of the Republican candidate. It Is bound to have it's influence among the chureh-goers, as ". J. Bryan is q

At the decline to net loss of 10624 points there was some support from one of the Wall Street bulls and the theory generally accepted after the close as to the days developments was liauidated and that one of the largest bulls instead of selling his long contracts had added 10000 to lo.oO0 bales to his holdings during the day.

A
 Germs Can Not Hurt a Sound Body Michael Williams. in Success Magazine
 When you are In good health. and the world looks bright. 1t Is because the white coFpuscles. well supplied with ammunition are fighting your fight for you all over your body It is when your opsonins are deficient. and your soldiers are fighting a losing battle from head to foot. that the aches come and life seems flat and unproAt- able. Your ills are only the after ef- fects. To be logical you should greet your friend with, How are your op- sonins7" This, then, Is the welcome message that recent discoveries have brought up from the field of hattle-- that germs are powerless to affect healthy body In which the vital resist ance Is maintained by good habits of living. Alcohol, tobacco and other such drugs. whether narcotic or atmulative in their effects, are aids and. comforts to our invisible enemies. Too much food. especially hearty food such as meat and beans. forms supplies for the commissary department of the ene- my, instead of for the brigades of white corpuscles. On the other hand. every breath, drawn deeply into the lungs, of fresh. sun-waFmed air, is a direct blow struck at cur foes and on the side of our defenders; every sip of pure water aids the forces of life. So too. does every motion In working run ming and other exerciges-when exer- else is not excessive. Every mouthKui of pure food adds fuel to the flame of life. So. too. does every pure thought: that is to say. every cheerful. normal action of the brain when uncontamin- ated by gloom, morbidity or any of the poisons of pessimism. Thus you can aid your bodyguard to fight the at- taclks of the invisible army of germs by the adopkion of a few simple prIn- ciples. and, the attainment of a little real, up-to-date knowledge on the sub Ject of hygiene; and by combining can help each other in the war that must ever RO on,
