THE SALOON QUESTION AND
THE NEGRO.

The colored people have always
been considered to be enamored
with saloons. In the South, where
the Negro vote is a factor, when
ever this question comes to an
issue, the anti-saloon people claim
that the colored vote is largely pro
saloon. But the facts in the case
are not given all the time. This
question will come to an issue
again in several Illinois cities both
this fall and next spring and the
colored vote will be arrayed on
both sides. In Springfield, we are
to have an Important election Dec.
5, and the colored vote will be con-
spicuously in favor Of the ordin-
ance.
There are many of them no
doubt who will vote against it, but
when the issues are brought
squarely before them and thor
oughly explained, we may better
be able to judge which way the
vote will swing.

Marriage of Widows In India.

We are glad to note the number OF
widow marriages increasing every

in high life in Calcutta, there have
been lately three such marriages in
different parts of the country. This is
noteworthy record, which should
cause the social reformer to take heart
for the ultimate success of his work.

for years by the social conference
has been successful, If only in i'm

CHAPTER xv.-continued.

"Ah, cut that, can't yeh?" Hickey
got on all fours, found his cigar, stuck
it in his mouth, and fell into place at
Maitlands side.
Hickey, l mean. But how"
''If yeh're Maitland nd Anisty's at
the st. Luke buildin', tell that fool up
there to drive!"
Maitland had no need to lift the
trap; the cabby had already done
that.
"All right" the young man called.
Its Detective Hickey. Drive on"
The lash leaped out over the roof
cr-rack!-and the horse, presumably
convinced that no speed other than a
deadrun would ever again be de-
manded of it, tore frantically down the
avenue, the hanson rocking like top
sail-schooner in heavy gale.
Maitland and the detective were bat
tered against the side and back of the
vehicle and slammed against one an
other with painful regularity. Under
such circumstances speech was diff
cult; yet they managed to exchange a
few sentences.
"Yeh gottuh gum"
"Anisty's-two good cartridges"
Gus as well I'm along, guess"
And again: How'd yeh spose An
isty got this cab?"
Il don't know-must We been in the
hn1cn-T fold hhu IN -,
seems to have walked out right on
your heels"
Hell" And moment later:
whats this about woman in the
case?"
Maitland took swift thought on her
behalf.
"Too long to go into now," he parried
the query. "You help me catch this
scoundrel Anisty and I'll put in a
good word for you with the deputy
commissioner"
"Ah, yeh help me nab him." grunted
the detective, "'nd l won't need no
good word with nobody"
The hanson swung into Broadway,
going like whirlwind; and picked up
an uniformed officer in front of the
Flatiron building, who, shouting and
using his locust stridently, sprinted
after them. A block further down an
other fell into line; and he it was who
painted at the step an instant after the
cab had lurched to a stop before the
entrance to the st. Luke building.
Hickey had rolled out before the
policeman had chance to buster.
"Lo, Bergen" he greeted the man.

again, slowly, waiting for the other to
overtake it. Peering down through
the iron lattice-work he could indis.
tinctly observe the growing cube of
light, with dark shape lying huddled
In one corner of the floor. A second

Hickey, by firing prematurely, lent
him adventitious aid. The criminal re.
piled with spirit, aiming at the flash,
MS bullet spattering against the back
wall OF the shaft. Hickey's next bullet
rang with bell-like note against the
metal-work, Anisty's presumably went
wide-though Maitland could have
sworn he felt the cold kiss of its
breath upon his cheek. And the lighted
cage rocked past and up.
Maitland needed no admonition to
pursue; his blood was up, his heart
singing with the lust of the man-hunt.
Yet Anisty was rapidly leaving them,
his car soaring at an appalling pace.
Towards the top he evidently made
some attempt to slow up, but either
he was ignorant of the management OF
the lever, or else the thing had got
beyond control. The cage rammed

through the sounding halls like peal
of thunder-claps; 1t was instantane.
ously plunged into darkness. There
followed splintering and rending
sound, and Maitland, heart in mouth,
could make out dimly a dark, falling
shadow in the further shaft. Yet ere
1t had descended a score of feet the
safety-clutch acted and, with a third
tremendous jar, shaking the building,
the car halted.
Hickey and Maitland were then some
five floors below. Stop 'er at 49," Or
dered the detective. There was Tilt
of exultancy in his voice. I'VE got
him now, all right, all right He'll try
to get down by-There!" Overhead
the crash of gate forced open was
followed by scurry Of footsteps over
the tiling. stop 'er and we'll head
him off. So now-eeeasy!"
Maitland shut off the power as the
car reached the nineteenth floor.
Hickey opened the gate and jumped
out. Shut that" he commanded,
sharply, as Maitland followed him,
in case he gets past us"
He paused moment in thought,
heavy head on bull-neck dropping for.
ward as he stared toward the rear Of
the building. He was fearless and re.
sourceful, for all his many deficiencies.
Maitland found time, quantity enough,
to regard him with detached curiosity,
a rare animal, illustrating all that was
best and worst in his order. Endowed
with exceptional courage, his ad-
dress in emergencies seemed alto.
gether admirable.
"Yeh guard them stairs" he decided,
suddenly. 'Ill run through this hall,
nd see what's doing. Don't hesitate
to shoot if he tries to jump yeh." And
was gone, clumping briskly down the
corridor to the rear.
