@He was glad enough to see me, but

We headed off shore again. Nate
watched Hartley pretty close and I

sick. he begun to worry again. He
got out a piece of pencil and an old
envelope and commenced to figure.

In addition to all these reasons why
the anti-saloon league oppose this agi-

vanced by some persons. 1t is a cruel
reason and one that ought to be spoken
in whisper, but one hears it now and
then, usually from some one connected
with the liquor business or who is
friendly to it. These people say the
