VIGOROUS PLEA FOR TEMPERANCE
To Large Audience In Opera House by
Mrs. E. Noriae Law.

Before an audience that completely
filled the auditorium OF the opera house
last evening, Mrs Il. Norine Law de-
,livered q spirited temperance lecture
and incidentally voiced some Of the ex-
cellent opinions expressed by noted tenn
perance leaders on the continent. As
delegate from the United States, Mrs.
Law has only recently returned from
the thirteenth international congress ON
alcoholism and the worlds exhibit Of
temperance and prohibition held at The
Hague.
To allow their congregations to hear
the lecture, number of ministers about
the city closed their churches last even
ing and were present, assisting in the
services. Among those seated ON the
stage were Revs. J. w. Barnett, 4. O..
Thayer and f. c. Downey Rev. w. Il.
Braisted was unable to be present on ac-
count of illness. A mixed chorus un-
der the direction of w. H. Goodfellow
furnished music, with Miss Gladys Gale
accompanying.
Mrs Law prefaced her lecture with
brief description Of the work and aims
of The Hague conference She has twice
been delegate at this notable gather
ing held every two years, and is thus
well equipped 10 handle her subject. In
dealing with temperance, she approached
the question as TO her convictions. The
liquor question, she said, must be con-
sidered In three different phases, viz,
the legal or Legislative aspect, its moral
phase and from medical standpoint.
Tracing the list Of crimes and the vari-
ETY. of sins produced by the sale Of alco-
holic liquors, she proceeded 10 show con-
clusiyely vice, in It's manifold ramifica-
tions, could be tracked TO the saloon
door The Declaration OF Independence,
she said, promises us life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness. How much
of our happiness, how much Of our
real life and liberty is stolen away by
the pernicious influence of the legalized
saloonG
According to Mrs. Law, some of the
wisest and best men in America arc
giving their best thoughts and efforts
to the solution OF this intricate social
problem. And yet In European coun-
tries, where wine and beer are even more
common as beverages, more restric-
tive ban is placed on intoxicating drinks
In Russia every drop Of liquor legally
sold must be labeled with the word
Poison" But after, all We in America
are growing nearer to just conception
of what the traffic really means, and
ii is not altogether impossible that to
the United States win ultimately be-
long the honor Of being the first of
the great nations 10 eradicate the liquor
evil Throughout her address, Mrs Law
spoke ardently in favor OF prohibition
as the only avenue TO total abstinence
from the use Of all intoxicating liquors.

fortune possible, to his perplexed soul,
was that the cards should not be against

Senator Dunwody," said he, at length,
you and I are from different parts Of
the country-from two different worlds,
You might say. You believe in slavery
and the extension OF it-I believe in just
the reverse. 1 would sacrifice my pro-
fessional future, If need were, in that
belief The other nodded, but his eyes
did not waver.
VERY good! Now, I want to say to
you this much. The young lady who has
been with me is dangerous. She Is an

very likely European revolutionist.

such. I think can say this much, and
break no pledge of confidence"
That isn't how she is dangerous to
me. But is that the crime for which
you transport her for life?" smiled the
other. His shot came so close that his
companion raised a hand.
Il don't deny, don't explain, don't ar

the other from making the mistake
of saying what was the truth-that
he was in any case about to leave the
young lady to her own devices, and by
her own request. The game which he
most valued now was not on the
table before him. He was playing 1t

CHAPTER V-(Continued).

You don't want to understand me
Come, now. You, as an army man, ough
| to know something of the history oi
poker in these United States. Listen, my
friend. Do you recall a certain game
played by a man higher in authority
younger than he is to-day-a game played
upon a snowbound train in the North
country? Do you remember what the
stakes were-then? Do you recall that
that man later became a President OF
the United States? Come There is fine
precedent for our little enterprise"
The swift flush on the face of the
other man made his answer. Dunwody
went on mercilessly:
He played then much as you do now
There was against him then, as there is
now against you, a man who admired
not so much just one woman in ali the
world as, let US say, one particular
woman then and there present. Per-
haps you remember his name-Mr. Parish
later ennobled by the German govern
nent and long known as a land baron
in New York. Come. Think Of 1t! Pic
ture that snowbound train. that great
citizen. and Parish. playing and play
ing, until at last it came to the question
of woman-not so beautiful as this one
here, but in her own way shrewd, the
same sort Of woman. I might say-mys-
terious, beautiful. and-no; don't protest,
and I'll not describe. You remember very
we'll her name. 1t was pleasant prop
erty not so long ago for everybody. They
played for the love, not for the hand.
of that woman. Parish won her. Do
you remember now?"
The younger man sat looking at him
silently, his face now grown quite pale.
IT am unwilling, sir, to allow any man to
mention such details regarding the past
life Of my commander-in-chief, a Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t is not
seemly. My profession should free me,
by its very nature, from conversation
such as this. My errand should free me.
My place as a gentleman should free
me, and her, from such discussion. 1t
must, 1t shall. sir "
Forgive me-" said Dunwody, coloring.
your rebuke is just. I ask your par
don freely; but remember, what I say
here is between us two, and no one else.
Why deny yourself the luxury of re-
membering such a game as that? IT
was a mans game, and well worth the
playing. Your former head of the army,
at least, lost; and he paid. The other
won. All Ogdensburg can tell you about
that to-day. They lived tbere-togetherA
Parish and the woman, till he went
abroad. Yes; and she was a prisoner
there not simply for a short time: she
lived and died there. Whatever Parish
did. whoever he was. he never loved
any other woman as he did that one.
And by the Lord! when 1t comes to that,
no other woman in that town ever was
loved more than she by everybody. Odd
creatures, women, eh? Who can find
them out? Who can weigh them. who
can plumb their souls? But, my God!
who can do without them?"
Carlisle made no answer. and Dunwody
went on. ~
"She had political intrigues back Of
her. Just as this woman here has, for all
know. But one lost in that game. and
the other won. I've often wondered about
whether after all she loved the man
