CHAPTER I.

TT was shortly after O'Clock
when a brisk young man stepped
out Of q taxicab into the dim
\ crevice Of Broad street, followed
by huge negro bearing a suit case.
Nestled back amid a number of alleged
brokers, who dealt hilariously in such
securities" as Wireless Motor pre-
ferred, he found the offices of Henry
Galleon- & Co.. one of the few legit-
innate firms which. intrenched in their
own natural conservativeness, had re-
fused TO move when the curb invasion
came

conner.
Upon what business, pleasey' asked
an old clerks

himself"
The old man arose with slight, pro-
testing frowh. asked for q card and
took it into an inner room.
Henry Galleon was about the same
age as his secretary. but he was erect
His face and his bald head were pink
with baby's pinkness. his white hair
gIistened like silk. and the brightness
Of his eyes was almost infantile.

said the broker. smiling. What can
We do for you?"
Young Kelvin opened the suit case
and took from it eight packages of
bills. which he counted over carefully.

you to sell for me a thousand shares

slip of paper upon Mr.. Galleon's desk.
The broker instantly figured that the
suit case must contain not less than
100000 cash.

President Lynch Grows Radical In De-
tense Of His Umplres-Page's
Protest Turned Down.

President Thomas J. Lynch OF the
National League has returned from
visit to western cities OF his circuit
Waiting for Lynch was word that the
Pittsburg club has appealed from the
decision of the president that sus-
tained the Chicago protest and threw
out one of Pittsburgs victories over
the Cubs This was the game In
which the decisions Of KLEIN and
Doyle we're set aside and which cost
Doyle his Job as umpire. The case
will now have to be acted on by the
board OF directors of the league
Vice President Page Of the Boston
club, also has sent In formal protest
OF the game won by the Cubs from
the Rustlers the day OF the big trade,
Page takes the stand that the deal
was not legal because he (Page) was
not consulted. but these differences
between the Boston officials are en-
tirely internal affairs and not sub
jects for Jurisdiction by the president
OF the league. who can only recognize
the action OF the club president In the
case. Therefore no action by the
league president may be expected. The
deal stands. so far as the league Is
concerned. and the game also.
"The National league umpiring In
the west has been excellent" said
Lynch. "The race Is close and the
players are grabbing, but the umplr.
ing is all right The fans threw bot
ties at Umpire Brennan In st Louis,
and that's sign the umpiring was
good and not home umpirlng. What
ought to be done to these players who
kick, get put out Of the game. and
perhaps cost their club the game. Is to

II may be asked. why do men
dringw For the same reason that
opium and hashesh are taken-in or
der to cause abnormal states OF con-
sciousness because OF the pleasure
derived therefrom. Alcohol, severing
the divine from the purely animal
portion of our nature, leaves man an
irresponsible animal, descending to
purely sensuous. animal planes OF ex-
lstence, finds a temporary bliss In
this experience.
1t Is peculiarly appropriate that

fords real. but transient and deadly
relief from the pressure Of this CIV
ilization whose god Is gold.
The evil effects of alcohol are wide
spread and appalling Upon society
they are too well known to require
comment. That alcohol Is the chief
factor In the production Of crime, the
record Of our penal institutions proves
conclusively. 1t also fills our asylums

What are the remedies for so gi-

be taught the effect alcohol has upon
both soul and body, and public opin-

attitude of the race towards alcohol
is wrong. The old old remedy OF
