Saloon is Doomed.

The official organ of the National
Liquor League of America, which is
published under the name, 'Bever-
ages, unites with Bonfort's, another
periodical in the service of alcohol, IN
expressing the opinion that the sa-
loon is doomed. 1t writes editorially
as follows:
THE result in Georgia presents no
pleasant outlook for any section OF
the business. That State in its judg-
ment has treated all alike, and no
false notion that beer is a temper
ance beverage and should be allowed
to hold on has been brought for
ward. .
I'VE dislike to acknowledge it, but
we really believe the entire business
all over has overstayed its opportuni-
ty to protect itself against the on
ward march of Prohibition, which in
some sections Of the country is ad.
vancing like a prairie fire and not a
hand raised to stop its progress.
Five years ago a united industry
might have kept back the situation
that now confronts it, but to-day 1t is
too late.
Might as we'll try to keep out the
Hudson River with q whisk broom"

CHAPTER XXI.
Six Years After.
What is it, Parsons?"

What is it, Parsons?"
Lady Derriman looked up from ner
book.
please, my lady, I'm lookin' for
Miss Enid. Mr.. Simmonds have
walked over from Sir George Kneb-
wells and wishes to see her."
You will find her in the studio, I
fancy"
And in a few moments Enid came
in. Six years had made of her a very
beautiful woman; she carried herself
with rare, proud grace; the old mod
esty was there, but the shy, shrinking
timidity was gone.
Mother, what do you Think" she
laughed, kneeling down beside the
older woman, her great sapphire
eyes glistening and sparkling. Sim
monds has just been here to tell me
he is going to be married-to Mrs.
Cullam, too"
II heard it an hour ago from
Briggs, who, 1 am bound to confess,
was not very complimentary to
them"
They are two dear old creatures,
and I like them BOTH"
Enid planted her chin in her hand
and gazed into the fire, for it was
winter time once more. II must run
over and see Cullam some time dur
ing the day."
II expect we shall have Lady Kneb-
we'll here to tea with Mildred; you
might drive back with them" Lady
Derriman said, fondly.
The inhabitants of Knebwell Hall
and Bromley Hall were on terms Of
warm friendship. 1t had come as a
surprise not n%nmingled with pain and
sorrow to SIR George Knebwell when
he found tnat his poor young cousin,
who died so prematurely, had be-
queathed her fortune and estates to
him. He never knew and never
would know that it was Gervais' do
ings, and that Dorothy had always
hated him; bat the earl had guarded
her memory so carefully that only a
remote few were aware Of her terrible
end, and those were stanch to him
and kept his secret well.

II will come again soon," he said
to Enid as they stood alone, "but l am
content when / know she is with you.
Heaven bless you, dear, and grant
your life may be a happier one than
mine. Enid, l sometimes think sm

They clasped hands silently; Ends
lovely eyes were wet with tears, n
then he went, and she stood watching
his young figure, stamped with such
woe and agony as rarely come to
man, pass from her sight.
That night she knelt down and
prayed for him, and for Dorothy, too.
She dared not let herself think of her
cousin. The naughty, beautiful face,
with it's cold, steel-gray eyes, its
laughing mouth and ivory teeth,
would rise out of the past to mock
her; and then once again she would
see that hideous, bloated ~countenance.
hear the coarse creams and words
and realize with a shiver that this
was proud Dorothy's end.
July was drawing to a close. Lady
Derriman, now convalescent, was
thinking of migrating to her Scottish
home for change of air, and Enid was
only too glad to go.
Every now and then Gervais had
been up to see his mother, but nc
word of Dorothy passed his lips tc
them or between themselves when
alone.
Lady Derriman kept the bitter dis
appointment and pain that had fol-
lowed on her sons marriage to her
self, and Enid was thankful, for
what could she say now with this
awful knowledge eve before hel
eyes?
One late night, so hot that the
muslin curtains did not move in The
breeze, a cab ratified up to the dool
and a man entered the house hur.

Lady Derriman had gone to bed.
and Enid was alone in the drawing
room, dreaming by the open window
She started up as Gervais came in;
he was dusty and worn, his face was
lined and furrowed, his eyes sunk and
weary.
Enid" he said, with a broken sob
"it-it is ended; she is dead! Oh
Dorothy, my lost wife! My lost
darling!"
He staggered to a chair, buried his
face in his hands and burst into a
food of passionate tears. 1t was of
his fair young bride he thought then!
The agony, the horror, the misery
were gone, and yet he mourned her.
for he had loved her with a love pass
ing words. Enid rose and put one
trembling hand on his bent head,
then went slowly away and left him
with his sorrow alone.

CHAPTERexxX.
The Drunkard.

One }ovel:7 June evening Enid was
alarmed AM distressed by a sudden
fainting fit reizing Lady Derriman.
The sweet, gentle natured woman had
been ailing more or less for the last
few weeks, but she steadily refused to
let Gervais know; she did not wish to
alarm him.
The old doctor who came confirmed
Ends own opinion that the malady
was not so much mental as bodily
and the girl determined that Lord
Derriman should be made aware OF
his mothers weakly condition with
out delay.
Briggs" she said to the faithful
maid who had been in her ladyship's
service for years and years, i am
going to tell Lord Derriman about
this illness without delay"
Yes, MISS" Briggs answered. with
a sigh. Shall you write or telegraph
to his lordship, Miss Enid?"
Enid paused. A faint color rose tc
her pale cheeks. Neither" she an
swered, firmly. Il will go myself TO-
morrow morning early. Say nothing
to Lady Derriman about this, or else
she will perhaps prevent me, and
know that the sight of the earl viii
do her more good than all the doc
tors. Maria shall go with me-"
Briggs listened in silence, and a!
the girl went away she shook hel
head.
All, if he'd only chosen herr" she
said to herself.

with Maria in graceful attendance
alighted at Groombridge Station, an'

Realism IN War Practice.

The battleship lena, the magazine
of which exploded in March, 1907,
killing or injuring many and badly
damaging the vessel itself, is being
used as a target in an interesting
series of gunnery trials at Toulon,
France, by the armored cruiser
Condo. The experiments are being
conducted b. Admiral de la Payrere,
Minister of Marine. Dummies and
live animals are placed on board the
lena. and after each shot from the
Condo the Minister boards the lena
and carefully notes the effects OF the
firing on them.

Walk slowly"
Gervais spoke in a commonplace
way on purpose; he say that the girl
was too overwrought and wretched
to listen to his miserable story.
Maria walked beside her young
mistress in alarmed silence. Enid
only opened her lips once.
Not a word of this at home" she
said, and Maria saw her face was as
/ white as death.
Then they pushed on, and in a
little while Gervais Joined them and
they walked till they overlook the
village fly that had brought Enid,
and drove in it the rest Of the way.
Lady Derriman welcomed her son
with a cry of JOY, and he buried his
face on her shoulder as she clasped
him in her arms.

presence.
