Atmospheric
Intrigue

! Lucille Ahrens, in dripping rain
coat, her bright hair clinging in
damp ringlets under the dark blue
veil thrown back carelessly from her
face, stood at the news counter of q
subway station.
The place was quite deserted.
Even the frowsy woman in gray
sweater, who presided at the news
stand, had for the moment disap-
Ipeared. Lucille laid down one gay
backed magazine and picked up an
other, wishing that a train would
come along, when a young man of
vigorous physique, and tastefully
lappareled, walked toward her with
determined strides.
"Can I get an evening paper
here% was the mans salutation.
The accent was Enthusiastically Eng
,lish. Lucille understood. The at
'tendant was still absent. With mod
estly lowered eyes and unchanged
cOuntenance she sought the desired
sheet.
But the Englishman slipped it
out from under a fan of papers.
With dignifed "Thank you," he
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1910-04-14

stuck the paper under his arm,
throwing down a dime.
At the contingency Of making
change for dime Lucille could hard
ly conserve her blankness of counte-
nance. She turned half away from
her customer, who staid waiting as
she took out her little purse with its
silver monogram.
There were no pennies. This was
an emergency. Should she run, or
remain and bicker with her GUS
toner to take a nickel's worth of pa
pers in default of change?
But worse yet-the frowsy woman
came shutting back, and before Luz
cile or the man had time for another
maneuver she had spotted the dime
and was counting out the change.
The rich color of the mans cheeks
suddenly dissolved and suffused his
whole face; he looked full at Lucille
with blue eyes that were half an
noyed, half beseeching. 81 beg your
par" he began.
But Lucille flashed him one glance
and fed--fed before her amusement
could give vent to itself.
The local was just pulling in. Luz
cile ran for the head car and took
front seat. No one should witness
her mirth.
"Why am I always such fool on
a rainy day." she asked herself as
she pressed her face against the win
dow and laughed at the stone wall
Of the tunnel. ''But he has good
eyes, though-what a chump he
wasp
Lucile's race with time, dressing
for dinner, increased her animation.
She was almost bubbling over as she
descended to her aunt's drawing
room, where ten guests were as
sembled.
The annoyed aunt'S sugar-coated
rebuke had no effect upon her spir-
its.
GLOW lovely! All in white-but
we've been waiting. Mr.. Rockford
has been here Is minutes"
Dreadful" laughed Lucille as
they approached the guests. She
had forgotten Mr.. Rockford, the
guest of the evening.
"Mr. Rockford He was being
presented. She caught one glance Of
his candidly distressed blue eyes.
His splendid color was fuctuating.
She half expected to see under his
arm moist umbrella and a newspa-
per; but they had been laid aside
with his ulster.
He was muttering her name, cali
ing her Miss Allen.

Brewers Rice.
union.

THAT mysterious commodity, brewers rice,
that comes into the United States from the East
Indies at only a quarter of a cent a pound duty
and comes into the United States to the extent
of a hundred thousand tons per annum, is the
one factor in the rice industry that is doing US
in Louisiana far more harm than we have any
proper idea of. In the good old days when no
sophistication was ~practised in the brewing Of
ale or beer, barley, malt and hops were impor-
tant factors in the brewing industry, and we
may say almost the only factors, so far as raw
material was concerned. Substitutes have been
sought by the brewers by means of which to
cheaper the cost of their product and having
secured the present low duty on rice, that is a
quarter of a cent a pound on rice flour, rice
meal and rice broken which will pass through a
No. IL wire sieve, they are importing a hundred
thousa and tons of this rice per year and gener-
ally discon:inuing the use of barley. Rice is a
special favorite with the brewers in the manu-
facture of the very pale varieties Of beer and
barley is used in the darker varieties. Even
corn and corn glucose have been used and now
are used largely in the brewing industry and

The whole country was in a quandary for
quite a while as to What is whiskey?" Presi-
dent Taft, to the manner born, promptly de-
cided that a genuine whiskey must be made
from wheat, corn or rye, although finally we
understand that the name of sugar cane whis-
key was permitted to be tabled on our Louisi-
ana products.
DR.. Wiley should now take in hand the prob
lem as to what is beer. In the distillation of
corn into whiskey the material in process at one
stage is called beer, we believe, in the ordinary
distilleries. This was presumed, however, to
be applied to the material in that condition be-
cause of its low alcoholic content, as the same
name is sometimes applied by sugar makers in
sugar houses to fermented cane juice. The dis
tillate from rice is called arrack in the Far East
and as far as we know beer as such was never
made from rice until our enterprising and invent
i've Americans adopted it as a staple article for
brewing purposes and had the tariff on rice
modified to suit their industry and their wishes.
If rice is essential in modern beer production,
then the tariff on it should be adjusted to pro-

low priced labor of the Hindus

on brewers rice the duty is &C
tually less than it is on corn,
wheat or rye.
