met, but Lady Maud could not detect
the slightest look of recognition in, his.
Van Torp introduced him, and also
watched his face narrowly, but there
was not the least change of express
sion, nor any quick glance of surprise.
Yet Kralinsky possibly did not know
that Lady Maud was on the yacht,
for he had not been told previously
that she was to be of the party. and in
the short conversation which had pre-
ceded her appearance, no one had
actually mentioned the fact. She her.
self had come to dinner late with the
express purpose of presenting herself
before him suddenly, but she had to
admit that the intended surprise did
not take place.
She was not astonished, however,
for she had more than once seen her
husband placed In very difficult situ-
ations, from which he had generally
extricated himself by his amazing
power of concealing the truth. Being
seated nearly opposite to him, 1t was
not easy to study his features without
seeming either to stare at him rudely
or to be bestowing more attention on
him than on any Of the others. Her
eyes were very good, and her memory
for details was fair, and IL she did
not look often at his face, she watcheS
his hands and listened to the intona-
tions OF his voice, and her conviction
that he was Leven grew during din

But Mrs. Rushmore knew these
things, for she was used to handling

Kralinsky turned quietly to her, his

"No," he answered. 81 knew poor

duced to his wife. 1 have heard that
she is very beautiful"
"You say you knew the late Count

with an encouraging and interrogatory

Mr.. Van Torp had met several very

If the man before him was Leven him

all for calm effrontery.
"Were you ever told that you looked

Even at this question Kralinsky
showed no embarrassment.

member that one or two in the regi-

At this point Lady Maud came in

placed herself where they were obliged
to pass close to her at each turn,
standing and leaning against the
bright white side of the engine sky
light, which was as high as the wheel
house itself, and broke in aft, where
the big ventilating fans were situated,
making square corner inward.
She stood there, and as it was not
very dark in the clear starlight, Kra-
linsky saw in passing that she fol-
lowed his face with her eyes, turning
her head to look at him when he was
coming towards her, and turning it
very slowly back again as he came
near and went by. 1t was impossible
to convey more clearly an invitation
to get rid of his companion and join
her, and he was the last man in the
world to misunderstood it.
But Mrs. Rushmore saw it too, and
as she considered him a lion, and
therefore entitled to have his own
way, she made 1t easy for him.

He left her with Margaret and Van

suddenly slipped into the recess

Kralinsky bent his head twice, and
then inclined it towards her, to hear
better what she was going to say.

NOTICEABLE INCREASE
III CRIMINAL OFFENSES
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 6.-(Special)-
What may be termed the psychological
side of the biennial report of Attorney
General A. NJ. CARRIED. made public today,
Is of more than usual interest because
of the agitation of the state over an
apparent failure of the people to obey
laws of the commonwealth For the
term ending September 80, 1903, there
We're 2o,s72 criminal cases disposed Of
compared to 1866 in 1866 and 11,5T4 in
1891
This leads Colonel CARRIER to say: Il
am unable to offer a rational or satisfac-
tory explanation of this surprising in
crease In the number of criminal cases
before the trial courts of the state A
growing spirit of law defiance and a cor
responding Indifferent spirit of law en-
forcement may be assigned as reason"
The writer however, Is loath to accept
this as fact, rather leaning to the hope
that the increase in the number of courts,
more frequent sessions of the grand jul
ries and greater vigilance of the officers
are responsible for most of 1t. He is
reluctant even to suggest, much less
advance such a degrading cause"-fn-

| Montgomery, November ESPECIAL J.
The season on all game birds and ami
| mails which can be legally hunted in
Alabama being now open, with the ex-
ceptlon of that on wild turkey, which
opens December 1, State Game and Fish
Commissioner John II. Wallace, Jr, has
called on the game wardens of the state
| to be particularly alert in apprehending
those who violate the provisions of tnt
game laws of Alabama. Today he is
sued to the country game wardens the
following Instructions:
.1nfractions of the game laws of this
state are likely to be committed by per-
sons hunting without license and by per-
sons conveying game on common carriers
in this state without first having a hunt
er license regular issued to the said
person carrying such game. 1t will be
/ Well for you to check up the hunters
in. your county and ascertain if any have
been afield in violationof the law, without
first having hunter license regularly
issued to them, Or if game has been
transported by common carriers by hunt
ers who are not in the possession of
hunter incense.
Since the enactment of the present
game law, vandalism has been largely re-
duced, for the guns have been taken
out of the hands of the shiftless and
rowing classes that feel no hesitancy in
invading fields and orchards of .se
farmer and in general devastating his
premises Make diligent inquiry of every
int cd in in
quest of information of the sale of any
game that may have been made in your
county. The pot-hunter cannot be
checked in the pursuit of his murderous
vocation in a surer way than TO deprive
him of a market for his wares.
Prohibiting the sale of game is directly
in the interest of the whole people. The
price of game is usually so high that the
ordinary citizen cannot afford to pur-
chase it as an article of food, hence
only the rich can afford to partake of
! such delicacies.
1.-The law prohibits the sale of game,
whether taken within or without the
state. This makes our law effective, for
were the sale Of game, imported to Ala
bama. to be permitted 1t would only be
an invitation for the pot-hunter within
our borders to continue to slaughter the
game Wlthln the state ana TO smuSSle
it into the hotels and restaurants, where
1t would be sold under the guise of hav-
ing been secured from neighboring states.
Make careful inquiry for the purpose
| of ascertaining whether any express COM
| pany or other common carrier has trans
F, ported game within the state. When you
] are convinced that the game law has
been violated. Immediately instigate
prosecution and spare no pains to secure
! a speedy trial and conviction of the ac-
| cused PERSONS

in the face of the evident moral, social
and educational development of our citi-
zenship."
Again, in discussion of the growth of
the offense of concealed weapons and the
great number of murders traceable to it.,
Colonel CARRIER concludes: THE effective
ness of any law depends upon the heart
and conscience of the people. After
all, if we but place the bulwarlx of public
sentiment behind our present laws against
murder and concealed weapons, the juries
of the land will soon wipe out the blood
stains from the fair nome of our beloved
state At last the remedy lies with the
people. When man suffers that which
he has done then upright justice shows
herself "
Opponents of the prohibition pro-
gramme have argued that this is the
very heart of the failure to enforce the
laws. They have not, they say, the ac-
tive support of the majority of the peo-
pie. In support of this, they point out,
is the fact that the number of violations
of the prohibition laws increased from 65l
in 1866 to 1923 in 1913, the increased
lack of observance being greater in this
class of statute than any other. In a
word in fact and opinion. the theory that
the prohibition laws are not kept because
they are not generally popular is borne
out in the report.

Blood and
Skin Publication
Is Best and Most Quickly Accomplished
BY Using Stuart's Calcium Waters.

Ever since the world began mankind
has suffered from various forms of skin
and blood diseases. We find mention
of certain diseases of the skin in writ
ings which have come to us from periods
of greatest antiquity. especially those of
the Greeks, Egyptians and Hebrews.
many of the diseases being described with
great minuteness.
The glands of the skin are known as
the sebaceous, or oil glands, and the
sudoriparous or sweat glands. The
sebaceous glands secrete The oil, and
their main duty is to keep the skin
soft and flexible. When these glands
fail to act sufficiently, there is a dry,
/ harsh condition of the skin, which be-
comes wax-like in appearance; but IL
they are over-stinlulated, as in certain
nervous and blood Diseases too much
oil is secreted and poured out on the
skins surface. giving the appearance of
oily skim or greasy complexion as
1t is termed. When this condition is
present dust particles settle upon the
skin and adhering to the oily surface,
block up the outlets to both the oil and
sweat glands.
The muscles of the skin, which are in
a way connected with the sebaceous and
sweat glands, play an important part
in keeping the pores and glands open,
as each time the muscles contract,
pressure is made upon the glands, and
their contents more or less forced out.
The skin of the face does not have the
advantage of this muscular aid in the
expulsion of the glandular secretions,
and therefore very readily becomes
clogged with impurities, thus furnishing
one of the principal reasons for the
prevalence of pinples and blaekheads
upon the cheeks
In nearly every form of skin disease
and clogging of the glands the blood is
primarily at fault, being filed with inn
purities which. through weakness or
perverted function, it is unable to elm
mate properly
OF all the remedies on the market for
the cure of skin and blood diseases,
STUARTS CALCIUM WATERS have,
after many tests, been pronounced the
most efficient and powerful They have
been remarkably successful In curing
pimples, blackheads, clogging of the oil
and sweat glands, carbunces, eczema,
scrofua, ulcers and many other skin
humors arising from an impure condition
of the blood.
They tone up the skin glands SO that
normal amount of oil is secreted, and
through their use one need not suffer
from either an oily skin or abnor-
mally dry skin. The perspiration glands
are also made to functionate normally,
and as the blood is at tive same time
purified, all forms of skin troubles are
terminated and cured.

JUDGE Jones Blocks Suit.

An effort of Robert l.. Brown of Nor
gan county TO collect damages of Sl199
from the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road for refusal to haul him from Hart
selle to Cullman, on September T. 1907,
has been blocked by Judge Thomas g.
Jones of the United States court, who
granted an injunction against further
progress of the suit, brought in the law
and equity court at Decatur. November
10 has been set as a day for taking tes-
timony on the merits of the contention.
At the time of the refusal Brown
was put off the train. He had offered
"a cents to the agent at the starting
point and to the conductor on the train,
being refused In both cases. He ala
lowed himself to be elected but did not
file suit then, as the rate laws as well
as other state acts were enjoined.
Later, when the courts held that the
laws should be tried he brought ac-
ton, dating the offense back all this
time To allow suits of this kind to
be filed now would involve the road in
endless litigation and render difficult
the final settlement of the parent cases
now pending in the federal court for
the Middle district.
