She had made a sudden movement
forward, locked the cellaret, and now
held up the key to him before putting
it into her pocket. She was prepared
for his trying to snatch it from her,
but to her surprise he gave it weakly
"Well, you've got me there" he said
and suffered her to lead him to his
room. II suppose you're going to lock
me in now?" he said.
mo. I never lock up my patients.
l only lock away things that will harm
them.''
He went back to bed. and, after a
while, slept. Nurse Bridget, however,
got no sleep that night.
In the morning, when she went in
with his tea. he was evidently better.
He smiled at her queerly and asked
if she had had a good night
you know had not. But I got you
back and kept the drink from you, and
that's all that matters"
He looked at her thoughtfully. His
fine features were worn and drink
racked, but the redness had gone from
his face, and though he still had
twitching movements, he was sane
enough in speech and manner.
"I don't know how you did it," he
said. "I was just mad with the crav-

He shook his head. "No, it always
comes back and I'm-well, I'm deuced
sick of the whole show"
'Oh, you poor, poor fellow! I'm so
sorry for you," she said. "But try to
keep up heart"
He was silent. Presently he asked
suddenly: Weren't you frightened
last night?"

"But you were alone. 1 might have

and presently the shuffiing step went
on. In a minute she was up and in
the passage, watching her patient as
he stole downstairs. There was
lamp on the hallway landing, and by
its lowered light she could see the
eager, furtive expression of his face,
and the mad cunning in his eyes. She
crept after him, and followed him, un-
observed, into the dining room. There
she surprised him in the act of open
ing the cellaret, in the door of which
the key had by some unaccountable
negligence been left.
He started back, his purpose unac-
complished, at the sound of her voice
firm and reproving.
"Mr. Bellamy, I did not think you
would have played me this trick. I
trusted you, but I shall know in fu
ture what to expect"
The man covered like a frightened
animal against the sideboard. If her
compassion had not been so intense,
Nurse Bridget could have laughed at
the sorry spectacle he presented. He
reminded her of the advertisement of
a celebrated soap with his ruffied hair,
his gbbering face, his distended eye
balls, and his lean hands clutching the
folds of his dressing gown, carelessly
put on over his pajamas.
You! II though you were asleep.
Nurses sleep with their eyes ana
ears open," she answered. II shall
not dare to go to sleep again While I
am here. I shall have TO watch you
instead. Now come back to your
room at once"
He seemed reused. for the first time,
by her tone of authority, to a COM
bative spirit. He stared angrily at
the girl standing before him-a Ma
donna-like figure in her blue dressing
gown, her golden hair falling about
her shoulders, her blue eyes wide and
sorrowful, her lips resolute.
You can't make me come" he re-
torted, with an unpleasant laugh.
Don't try, or you may regret it. I
could pinion you in that chair if I
chose"
But you won't choose" she said,
undaunted. you couldn't be violent
to a woman, because, though you
may forget it sometimes, you are by
nature a gentleman"
He was sobered, but still angry.
You'd better leave me alone. I don't
intend to go upstairs"
Very WELL but you'll not get what
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-12

You've got a grand soul yourself, If
you'd only let it guide you
He gave a kind of groan and lay
back, refusing his tea, and with his
face turned to the wall. So he lay for
a long time.
From that moment, however, he
made progress, and there was no rep
etition of the nights occurrence. New
ertheless, Nurse Bridget, who, out of
her professional experience, understood
into what deeps of subterfuge the
Dalked craving for alcohol will plunge
its victim, would start up of nights,
listening, and would yearn and pray,
almost as mother might, that
strength might be granted her pa
tient to conquer the devil And the
prayer of a loving, true-hearted wom-
an counts for much.
Day by day her patient became more
his rational self. That he endured keen
pangs of shame was plain, and all her
sympathy went out to him with a
fervor that sometimes gave her almost
a sense of guilt. Why should she feel
so much more about this patient than
she had ever felt about any other?
Yet, even on ordinary grounds the in
tercourse was pleasant. Mr.. Bellamy
was a well-read and highly intelligent
man, who had seen much, thought
much, and doubtless suffered in pro-
portion with his capacity for self-anal-
ySis.
Nurse Bridget judged that his own
lapses were his chief cause of suffer-
ing, since there appeared to be money
in plenty, and, as far as she could
see, no emotional complications in the
background to account for his failing.
A day came when DR.. owen said to
her: "There's really no need for you
to stop on, nurse; but as they all want
to keep you, I presume you have no
objection to go on earning fees here?"
Nurse Bridget blushed, and the doc
tor noticed the blush.
However" he went on, IT believe
you might do more for Bellamy by go
ing away than by staying-that is If
you can only induce him to agree to
what I am now urging upon him."
"You mean that you want him to go
into the McVittie sanitarium?' she
said at once.
How did you know?" I've said moth
ing about it till this morning"
because I've been feeling very
strongly that you ought to recommend
that treatment"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-12

You are right. l have known Nc
Vittie to cure absolutely cases of alco-
holism like Bellamy's, which is a form
of insanity rather than of moral weak
ness or inherited tendency"
Her eyes questioned him eagerly.
Il believe that he can be cured"
went on the doctor. 1.-THE case is pc
culiar and interesting. There's no
family failing of this sort, and I sup
pose that's why the old ladies are so
hard on it. Poor Bellamy is the vic
tim of an Incorporate wet nurse. He
was sent home as a baby from India
with a soldiers wife, who was discov
cred later to be an inveterate drunkard.
Bellamy sucked in the vice with his
foster mothers milk"
"Of course, that's possible, DOCTOR
Eyes, of course. Bellamy himself
understands this, and broods over it,
so that when the recurrent impulse
attacks him he yields like a fate
driven creature"
A murmur of involuntary tenderness
broke from Nurse Bridget.
"McVittie's treatment counteracts
the impulse" pursued DR.. owen.
"Now, If after the course our patient
could have affectionate care and real
sympathy in his home life, in my
opinion, there is no reason why the
periodic fits should not be completely
STAYED off,"
"But the care and sympathy! Who
would give them here?''
mot his sisters. Yet a woman who
loved him we'll enough to take the risk
to my mind a small one-in fact, the
right sort of wife-such a woman
would be his salvation"
Nurse Bridget said nothing. The
doctor pulled out his watch.
."I must be off. I want you to see
what you can do with him. I've been
arguing to no avail. He utterly re-
fuses to go into the sanitarium; and,
of course I can't place him there with
out his written consent. He says that
he won't have that stigma attached
to him, and that If he can't conquer
by his own will he'll put pistol to
his brains"
"Oh!" Nurse Bridget shuddered..
"Well, try if you can't persuade him
to sign the paper, nurse. 1 Fancy
you've more influence than any of us"
"I'Il try, doctor. But"-Bridget hes
itated-'if he won't consent will you
let me go back to the home tomor-
row."

huentor of Reaper 10 Haue
 Place in Farmers Fame Hall

URBANA, H., December 15,-The whose invention of the reaping machine revolutionized the agricultural indus try in all civilized lands, was honored at the University of Illinois today in the unveilmg of portrait of the inven- tor in the new memorial hall of the col lege of agriculaure. The portrait is the first of a number that are to be placed in the So-called "llall of Fame" which is designed to perpet- uatc the names of men famous in the world of agriculture. Four names have been chosen for this honor but only the picture of Mir. Mccormick was hung at the dedicatory exercises today, The other names are those of James N. Brown, the first president of the llli- nois state board of agriculture; Isaac Funk, one of the most successful of the pioneer farmers and Professor Jona- than B. Turner, the originator of the idea of national system of land grant colleges to include the then new sub, iects of agriculture and mechanic arts.
 Interesting exercises attended the un- yelling of the Mccormick portrait. Governor Deneeu was one of the prin, cipal participants and among the others who delivered addresses were Law renee W. Moves, president of the Hi nois Manufacturers association; Col. Charles r. Mills, former secretary of the Illinois State Board of Agriculture; Prof Eugene Davenport, dean of the college of agriculture and Edmund J. James, president of the University of Illinois. The portrait was unveiled by Miss Muriel Mccormick, granddaugh- ter of Cyrus Hall Me Cormck and also a granddaughter of John ND. Rockefel. Ter.
 The time for placing the Mccormick portrait in the "HaIl of Fame" was appropriately chosen, as the present year marks the centennial of the birth of the celebrated inventor. The life of Cyrus Hail Mccormick was career of plDcky energy and of signal success. He was the son of a Virginia farmer who had himself spent a large part of an active life in his endeavors to make a machine do the work of the sickle and the cradle, but he had failed. The son took the task as an inheritance.

BIG LAND SALE IN OKLAHOMA NEXT
 FEW WEEKS

GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, December 15, During the next three weeks the. state of Oklahoma is to sell l,600,000 acres of common school indemnity lands, the proceeds of which will go into the common school fund. The sale was begun today at Chandler, where John N, Shepler, superintendent of sales of the school land department, put up at auction the first batch of 36l tracts that are to be sold in Lincoln county.
 The l,600,O0O acres to be sold is ap- praised at from eight to thirtyfour dollars an acre. About halG million acres are listed as agricultural land, while the rest is better adapted to graz ing. No purchaser can obtain more than l60 acres, and in addition to the price of the soil he must pay for any Improvements alresdy made by lease. holders.
 It is the desire of the state to sell the common school indemnity lands as soon as possible, because of the fact that they lie in large tracts, leaving practically no taxable lands in the townships and school districts where they are located. After the indemnity lands have been sold, the new college lands, which also lie in large tracts to a considerable degree, and the pub lie building lands are to be disposed of.
