Yes? You've been drinking to-
night?" Maitland smiled quietly, stand
ing at the small writing-desk and ex-
tracing a roll of bills from a con-
cealed drawer.
I'm fair blind, sir"
Very WELL" Maitland turned and
extended his hand, and despite his
professed affiiction, the cabbys eyes
bulged as he appreciated the size of
the bill.

away In the cavernous depths of a
trousers pocket.

somebody for you to take wherever

The door closed behind the over
whelmed nighthawk, and the latch
clicked loudly. For a space Maitland
stood in the hallway, troubled, appre-
hensive, heart strangely oppressed,
vision clouded by the memory of the
girl as he had seen her only a few
minutes since; as she had stood be-
meath the chandelier, after acting
upon her primary clear-headed impulse
to give her rescuer the aid of the
light.
He seemed to recall very clearly her
slight figure, swaying, a-quiver with
fright and solicitude-care for him!-
her face, sensitive and sweet beneath
it's ruddy crown of hair, that of a
child waking from evil dreams, her
eyes seeking his with their dumb mes
sage of appeal and of He
dared not name what else.
Forlorn, pitiful, little figure! Odd 1t
seemed that he should fear to face her
again, alone, that he should linger re-
luctant to cross the threshold of his
study, mistrustful and afraid alike of
himself and of her-a thief.
For what should he say to her,
other than the words that voiced the
hunger of his heart? Yet If he
spoke words such as those
TOTO thief what would be
the end Of 1t all?
What did 1t matter? Surely he,
who knew the world wherein he lived
and moved and had his being, knew
bitter well the worth of it's verdicts.
The world might go hang, for all he
cared. At least his life was his own,
whether to make or to mar, and he
had not to answer for 1t to any power
this side of the gates Of darkness.

should be given man and woman in

Gently but with decision Sergt.
Hickey set his face against the allure.
ment of his wine-cup and the impor-
tunities of his fellow-officers.

weary nod; the lateness Of the hour
rendered him quite indisposed for con-
vivial dalliance. Even the sight Of
O'Hagan, seduction incarnated. In the
vestibule, a bottle under either arm,
clutching box of cigars jealousy
with both hands, failed to move the
temperate soul.

pause, removing his hat and utilizing
a large soiled bandana with grim
abandon.
At such times his face would be up
turned, eyes trained upon the dim in
f1nites beyond the pale moon-smitten
sky. And he would sigh profoundly
not the furnace sigh OF lover think

and moving sigh Of the man of years
and cares who has drunk deep of that
cup of bitterness called Unappreciated
Genius.

II Is the Event Near at Hand That
Counts Most in Everything.

The death of hundreds OF people in
distant part of the country from
where we live hardly arouses more
than passing interest, and the more or
less sudden taking away of thousands
of lives in some far remote land
evokes no more than a word of SYM
pathy from those long distance
away. But the single death near at
hand, the funeral across the street.
makes the strongest possible mark on
the mind.
Propinquity, In that as In everything
else, is what counts. The death In the
family cuts into the heart for years.
II accompanied by details that make IT
horror, the shock often remains with
the survivors to the end OF their own
lives. If the lost relative has met a
violent death, by accident or other
wise, the anguish of those left behind
Is all the more poignant and endur-
ing. Worst of all. and most lasting In
it's effect upon the survivors. LIS the

Of liquor at this point. The fact that
there is the legal sale of liquor two
hundred yards from the city limits
in the adjoining State Of South Car
olina-is testimony that those who
enacted the prohibition laws did not
hope to bring about halt in the
drinking Of liquor in this city. But
wehave the testimony of towns that are
not similarly situated, geographically,
that the prohibition laws have not re-
suited in putting a stop to liquor
drinking.
Kentucky may pass all the laws
against "demon rum'' that she wish

prohibition Of consumption any more
than has Georgia, Maine or the other
States that have enacted statutes of
this sort.
