The state legislators put a mighty
restriction on the use Of Gig
arettes in South Dakota, the law gov
erning their sale and use going into
effect on July 1. Just how close the
law will be enforced Is a question, be-
cause the habit has been formed In
many cases and has developed to
such an extent that 1t will be prac-
ticed very much on the same basis
that intoxicating liquors are sold In
violation Of law. The cigarette law
is as follows:
ct shall be unlawful for any per-
son by, himself. clerk. servant. en-
ploye or agent. directly or indirect

vice to manufacture, sell exchange

keep for sale. any cigarettes, cigar
cite papers, or cigarette wrappers or
anything made or prepared for the
purpose Of being filled with tobacco
for smoking; and any persons for
the violation of the same shall be
guilty Of q misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall for the first ofense
pay a fine Of not less than SO nor
more than $25. and the cost OF the
prosecution, and stand committed to
the county jail until such costs are
paid. and for the second and each
subsequent offense. shall pay upon
conviction thereof, q me Of not more
than 500 and the costs of prosecu-
ton or be imprisoned In the county

still watchful, had transferred her vigi-
lance from eyes to ears, and now lis
tened shrinkingly for an unsteady step
upon the stairs: No, Mike, you didn t;
they-went. -
1t was a familiar explanation in
that house, but the woman never made
it easily. So many things-went. The
few relics of her more prosperous youth,
her street clothes, little refinements with
which she tried to dignity or disguise
her poverty, little comforts or neeessi-
ties given by kind neighbors in times
of stress, her own meager earnings In
an uptown laundry, or Mike s still
more meager in the hardware store. For
Mr.. Dwyer, though meeting In the
course of his professional labors with
many proofs that stealing could be
successfully praeticed upon absolute
strangers, still believed in the prior
claim of family, and had so far con
fined his own active operations to the
home circle. 1t was safe practice
ground. and he could always flatter
himself that he would one day broaden
his field to include such gentlemen-if
he could find them entirely unprotected
and unobserved-who had reached that
degree of intoxication which raised his
envy and his courage almost to the point
of action.
Nothing could aceustom Mrs. Dwyer
to this system of petty pilfering and
the deceits it forced upon her, for
through all vicissitudes of neglect, ill
treatment and abuse she persevered in
her fierce determination that the boy
should never know, so long as she could
keep the knowledge from him, his
father.
And all the time the boy knew
much more clearly than she, and was
often forced to allow her panic cstricken
viligance to continue when he could
have told her that the voice she dread
ed was enlivening the alcoholic wards
of Bellevue, or that the foot she feared
was marching in decorous lockstep upon
Blackwell s island But he was as
fiercely resolved that his mother should
never know, so long as he could keep
