DECLARES LOCAL OPTION

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 26.
That local option bills, intro
duced in the legislature by Sen
ator Estudillo and Assemblyman
Wyllie are unconstitutional is
feared today by a large number
of legislators who have been
studying the law in the case.
Senator e. r. Martinelli has
gone to the trouble of preparing
an elaborate brief on the question,
proving to his own satisfaction
and that of a number of his col
leagues, that the principle of To-
cal option is "un-American and
undemocratic" and contrary to
the institutions of the people of
this country. Martinelli says that
the power to make laws has been
entrusted through state and fed
eral constitutions to legislative
bodies, and 1t would require moth
ing less than constitutional
amendment to alter existing laws
now covering the rights Of the
people.
Martinelli says that all the
voice which the voters can now
have to settle wet" and "dry"
questions under the constitution
is to elect supervisors pledged to
a mo license policy.

CHAPTER X.
Passion.

A footman entered Wanda's
boudoir and handled her letter
sealed with a coat of arms.
Recognizing the crest and the
handwriting, Wanda tore it hastily
open. and read the following:
Dearest Wanda of My Heart:
You have foresaken me; and
yet your poor Nadege is the most
unhappy of women. My husband
is false to me. 1t is horrible!
am in bed with a burning fever
There is no remedy for my grief
no end but death.
"Ah! I am such a coward that
1 am ashamed of myself. l love
this man who is so false to me
Jealousy devours me.
81 adore him! / adore him! but
I annoy him because l cannot
conceal my jealousy. And-he-
shrugs his shoulders or else
yawns.
"If you do not come to me I dc
not know what will become of me
l depend only upon you, upon
your brave heart.
"Your wretched friend,
"NADEGE LITZANOFF."
Upon reading these heart-break-
ing lines Wanda grew pale, and
seemed very uneasy.
''Nadege-my poor Nadege!"
she murmured; eff she knew!
Wretched Stepane! Only yester-
day what a look he gave me-
what a gloomy fire, what sad
ness in those eyes!"
At that recollection Wanda
trembled; she placed one hand
upon her heart, while the other
clutched the back of an arm
chair.
What Is the matter with you?"
asked Katia.
Nothing" she said, making an
effort to recover herself. "Get
yourself ready, and order my
coupe; we are going to see Ma
dege-poor, dear SOUL"
