Presently, as the dark gathered
about us, the candles were lighted, anC
their glow shut out the world. Tt

thoughts of Helen and my plans fol-
restoring her to her aunt with ne
break in the new confidence that Rosa

yielded myself to this u~ndercurrent oil
reflection that 1 was startled to find
Miss Pat with the coffee service before
her.
Larry, you are dreaming. How can
l remember whether you take sugar.
Sister Margaret's eyes were upon
me reproachfully for my i%nattention,
and my heart-beats quickened as eight
strokes of the chapel chime stole lin
geringly through the quiet air. l had
half-raised my cup when l was
startled by a question from Miss Pat
"a request innocent enough and
spoken, it seemed, utterly without in
tention.
Let me see your ring a moment,
Helen"
Sister Margaret flashed a glance
of inquiry at me, but Rosalind met the
situation instantly.
Certainly. Aunt Pat"-and she

passed 1t across the table, and folded
her hands quietly upon the white
cloth. She did not look at me-, but l
saw her breath come and go quickly.
II the rings were not the same then
we were undone. This thought gripped
the three Of us, and l heard my cup
beating a tattoo on the edge of my
saucer in the tense silence. while Miss
Pat bent close to the candle before her
and studied the ring. turning it over
slowly. Rosalind half opened her lips
to speak, but Sister Margaret's snowy
hand clasped the girls fingers. The
little circlet of gold with it's beautiful
green stone had been to me one Of the
convincing items of the remarkable re-
semblance between the cousins: but
if there should be some differentiating
mark Miss Pat was not so stupid as to
overlook it.
Miss Pat put down the ring abruptly.
and looked at Rosalind and then
smiled quizzically at me.
"You are a clever boy, Larry"
Then, turning to Rosalind. Miss Pat
remarked. with the most casual air
imaginable:
Helen pronounces either with the
long e. | noticed at luncheon that

TEXAS LEGISLATURE
FACES BITTER WAR
ON SALOON ISSUES
Prohibition 0vershadoWs All
Other Questions That Will Be
Brought Before Special SeS-
sion of General Assembly
CBy Associated Press.)

AUSTIN, Tex, July 31.-Prohibition
overshadowed every other issue when
the special session of the Texas legisia-
ture met today. The session was called
to enact appropriation bills. but Governor
Colquitt has announced that after the
passage OF these bills he may submit
other matters, and the prohibition major
ity in both senate and house, combined
with the fact that the government in the
statewide prohibition just closed was
strong advocate of regulation for the
liquor traffic, makes II practically certain
there will be saloon legislation. The leg
islature cannot enact new legislation at
this session except as the governor sub
mits it messages.
Nearly every legislator here today be-
lieves there would be legislative In
vestigation into the statewide prohibition
election of July %. Prohibition support
ers from all sections of the state are
here.
Political communications promised to
divert the issue from that of unadulter-
ated prohibition to factional contest
Even legislators contended that the pro-
posed liquor Investigation was political
move aimed at United States Senator
Bailey and Governor Colquitt. Senator
Bailey did not take part in the recent
statewide campaign. and the bringing
of his name at this late hour is the
result of old political scores rather than
of a saloon question.

GAINESVILLE. Ga. July 2s.-Addie

nent Hall county farmer. shot his wine,

ernoon. and then fired four shots into
his own body. killing himself instant
".
His wife was the daughter OF A j.
Bryant. Of Gainesville.
Addie Green has been separated from
his wife for about three weeks and
had taken his only child with him. He
had made an engagement to meet his
wife in Gainesville today to agree as
to who should keep the child. his pro-
posal being that the wife should keep
the child and the father bear all ex-
penses.
When they met on South Bradford
street. at the home Of Mrs. Smith,
they were alone in a back room of the
house. when Green first fired one shot
into his body. then turning on his wife
shot her three times. He then stepped
out on the back porch and killed him
self by emptying his pistol in his own
body.
That Green llade the engagement
with his wife for the purpose OF kill
ing her there seems little doubt There
is no hope for Mrs. Green's recovery
The remarkable feature of tue killing
is the fact that Green reloaded his pis-
toll to kill himself and shot himself
four times.
