"But doesn't poverty always travel
hand In hand with gr~eatness?" she re-
marked enthusiastically and with su-
perb disdain for anything that she
may have said heretofore to the con-
trary.
Murgatroyd looked at her with ad-
miration. Never before had she seem
ed to him SO lovely.
There's one thing-one thing that /
didn't tell Challoner and bis WIFE" he
said. lowering bis voice almost % a
whisper. "Can you guess what that
something was that always made me
keep my hands off those iron boxes?"
Shirley lifted her eyes to his in quick
understanding.
ut was my love for the woman who
wanted me to be great" he went on In
a voice so shaken with emotion that
she scarcely recognized it as belonging
to him. That was the motive that
beat down all others"
"And will you forgive the foolish
lips that told you to go wrong"
For answer he held u his arms to
her, and she came to them. Then be

and kissed the lips tenderiy, murmur-

hand on each Of bis shoulders, asked
laughingly, looking deep into his eyes:

Before he could kiss her a second
time Shirley darted to the door, opened

to tell Miriam that she had great news

i thousands. In the light of all. we know of commercialism, there is no denying the assertions. It is in keep 1 ing with the laws of business that a man shall enlarge his business. And if it often occurs that one in legiti- mate enterprise oversteps the bounds of justice. what may you expect of i a licensed illegitimacy?
 The licensed saloon. as we have it in the life of today. is the best eX- ample of all these licensed institu- tions for our present point of argu- ment It is urged that there are good men in the saloon business, and that they run clean places of business
 Suppose we grant this to be true It is very germane to my argument that we consider as an object of such enterprise the most perfectly con- ducted saloon, the cleanest and most hospitable. Still the business pro- prietor finds an enlarging appetite beneficial and is hound to encourage it. And though it be the resort of the best gentlemen of the city. still for reason of the increasing appetite and the pTppriety of the place. is it the most dangerous of all. There is not the presence of those reeling. blear-eyed disgusts to sicken the topper off to moderation, or to affect him to the point of quitting. So by that most harmful of all habits encour- aged in saloon manners. hospitable treating. the moderate drinker be- comes immoderate and soon. losing control of his appetite. the barkeeper Ii. IL .Ng.. eased thirst encouraged by saloons of lower ideals, and finally gravitating to the lowest dives in the city, is lost
 These are the facts to be taken into consideration when organized so- ciety begins to farm out the unfor- tunates, uncontrollables and corrupt ables, and giving them over as so many cattle to the merciless instincts of a commercial age How is the good of every man, woman and child in given community served by the granting of such unnatural privileges? Where does the common good of all c.me in? Is it honest? Do the vic tims of the traffic get their just dues? And in the name of mercy. who is there under such an administration not hurt? Answer me men; who?
 Is it too much to say that any government so abusing it's charter of authority has forfeited its right to life and rule? But answer the ques- ton as you please. it is certain that such control can only continue by the consent of q tolerent people and a long suffering God. It continues only for the reason that revolution would be still more disastrous but when ever it shall come to pass that a revolution and the establishment of
