How LIuuor |. obtained in Maine.

Co.. John c. Cobb of Portland, Maine,
talking in Washington recently, drew
sorry picture of conditions under the
prohibition law in his state. Speaking of
the means employed to get liquor and
beer he said: THE introduction of in
toxicating liquor from other states cannot
be prohibited. The consequence is that
Boston breweries and other houses have
their own express offices in the various
cities in Maine, where they keep their
goods stored up for delivery to pros
pective customers All that is necessary
to obtain a crate of beer, for instance,
is to telephone to one of these express
offices to order the beer from Boston and
deliver it. The order is filled within half
an hour, although Boston is more than
a hundred miles away. The express
offices carry a full stock of beer and
liquor, and whenever an order is received
they simply fill it, the legal excuse being
that the order was transmitted to Bos-
ton, and that upon instructions from
there the order has been illed"-[New

Duty at the Doorstep.

He talked of reformation
In enthusiastic tones
He wept for the inhabitants
OF rude uncultured zones;
He had great plans to benefit
Us mortals here below,
And yet he somehow quite forgot
To shovel of the snow
OF things mankind must suffer
He talked in general terms,
And yet his own front sidewalk was
A picnic ground for germs;
Amid our dreams and mighty schemes
Let's pause an hour or So
And get right down 70 humble facts
And shovel OF the snow.

Jack was not of suspicious nature. He soon per-
suaded himself that this money was for her mother
who must have into debt in some way. By the
following day the incident had faded from his mind,
his engagement openly announced, and he was
quite happy.

IN the Friday he CHANGED to be alone at Oldthorpe

SO after dinner it suddenly came into his mind stroll
down to the village and surprise evening visit
his beloved and her mother
1t was beautiful moonlight night; the world looked
very lovely and Jack felt very sentimental happy
as lover ought to do. When he drew near the red
cottage at the of the lane he stood still
and looked at the stars and thought they were not
brighter than mis- Bearices eyes; and then suddenly
his heart gave great thump for there she stood on
the road before him. She seemed to have come out of
the shadows of the trees. She alone; man
followed her out of the shadows and stood for mo-
ment by her side in the white light of the road He
had black beard and his clothes dark and looked
shabby and while Jack stood still in amazement and
horror he heard the speak her.
WELL you a good child Bee and I'm awfullv
obliged to you, my dear.
For heavens sake go quickly, Edward!" he heard
her reply.
All right, I'm off once Give us kiss, old girl,
and wish me good luck
Then suddenly the stopped her. and Bea-
trce put up both round his neck and kissed the
dark-bearded face. Jack her do it. Then the
parted Beatrice along the road toward the cot
tage and the man with the beard disappeared under

Jack waited minute two, and then went after
her. He caught her up at the garden gate He laid
his hand roughly her ARM and the horrible raging
jealousy in his heart hared up into his angry eyes.
"Who is that MANI"
Il cannot tell you.
'You you will not?"
Il mean will not" she echoed, DULY.
"Then everything had better be over between us
for everW
ooh if you do not trust me"
How am | to trust you? But if you will tell
the truth now 1 will forgive you" he added,
gently
But at that her pride rose 81 will tell you nothing
and do not your forgiveness There is nothing
to forgive. 1t shall be you say. You don't trust
me, so let part" And she rushed away from him
through the garden gate and disappeared from his
under the pergoa of crimson ramblers that
led up to the cottage door.

her forcbly because all her life she had been

money for my diamonds in London by that time. They
ought to be yours, DEAR and you will get them still

The girl coored holly. Shame and disgrace filled
her heart-but love stronger still. She could not
give up Jack, whatever it cost her to keep him.
The next day she sat waiting for him in her pretty
pink dress She was very nervous, and she shvered
little, although the June day warm and bamy for
she hated the thing she was going to do When lack

his arm about her and drew her face toward him.

She drew back little from him, and he thought for
a moment she going to faint, she became pale.
