The woman paused, breathless, at
the entrance of the familiar office
building. Three years? 1t seemed
either yesterday-or an eternity!
Posing herself determinedly, she
passed on through the lobby and
touched the elevator bell. Her face
was very white now, in contrast to its
accustomed warm pink, and the set
expression about the lips impaired to
it the look, rather of 80 than 20.
In less than two minutes she found
herself seated in the little box1ike
anteroom to wait her turn. Nothing
was changed except, perhaps, trifie
or so in the furnishings-new things
duplicating as far as possible the old.
The clock, the book cases. the pictures
were the same. Looking at them was
like opening an old wound. and she
kept her eyes resolutely on the hands
crossed in her lap.
Finally the door at her left opened
and a haggard-faced man emerged. He
picked up his hat from the table in
the center of the room and passed out
The doctor glanced toward the
woman and nodded; the next instant,
their eyes locked. He pronounced her
name in formal tone. and she rose

PROHIBITION PARADE.

Chicago has had the biggest temper
ance demonstration I'm the history Of
the city, and probably Of the world. In
the parade on Saturday. the papers
state. 25.O00 prohibitionists marched
down Michigan avenue. with banners
and transparencies. and at least $4,000
people stood packed along tho streets.
Hundreds watched from balconies and
slSyscrapers
The accounts state that nearly every
vehicle known 10 man had been mus
tered into service 20 take part IN the
demonstration. There were policemen
and parade marshals on horseback and
preachers and parlshioners on foot,
There were automobiles by the hun
dred from the huge touring car and
delivery van 10 the smallest OF run
abouts and the sllcSost OF motorcycles.
There were victorias and phaetons,
tailyhos and shays, drays and delivery
wagons. Every one OF them was decor
atod with bunting and each carried
some sort of a legend representing its
compliments 10 the liquor trauic and
inviting the voter 10 put 81 out Of
business.
The report Of the Chicago Record
