Alcohol an Enemy Of Thrift

The Scotch city Of Airdie, formerly
famous for its drunkenness, has since
1900 gone through a great transforma.
ton, chiefly through the activity of
the Good Templars. The local lodge
numbers $500 members (the largest In
the world), and Is in close cooperation
with w. c. T. U, OF 700 members.
One-thlrd of the drinkshops have been
closed as consequence of the special
work and influence of these active
temperance forces. The city savings
banks for sixty.five years made little
progress, but since 1900 the number Of
depositors has risen rapidly from 6.76s
with about s1,7O0,0O0 to 11,262 with
nearly sSOOOOOO in deposits. Mayor
Knox has scored the public house as

him-a pail without one rift of light.
His fingers, moving slowly, explored
the limits Of the couch whereon he
lay.
Confident, at last, that wherever he
was, he was unmatched, Mr. Grimm
was on the point of concluding that
further inaction was useless, when his
straining ears caught the faint grating
OF metal against metal-perhaps the
insertion of a key in the lock. His
hands grew still; his eyes closed. And
after, a moment door creaked slight
ly on it's hinges, and breath OF cool
air informed Mr.. Grimm that that
open door, wherever It was, led to the
outside, and freedom.
There was another faint creaklng
az the door was shut. Mr.. Grimm's
neryeless hands closed lnvoluntarily,
and his lips were set together tightly.

caution was all but forgotten in his
surprise. AS the steps drew nearer
his clenched fingers loosened; he
waited.
Two hands stretched forward in the
dark, touched him simultaneously
one on the face, one on the breast. A
singular thrill shot through him. but
there was not the flicker Of an eye or
the twitching of finger, The woman

bending over him, then he heard her

pressed an inquiring ear to his left
side. 1t was the heart test
Thank God!" she breathed softly.
1t was only by masterful effort
that Mr.. Grimm held himself limp and
inert, for strange fragrance was en-
veloping him-a fragrance he well
knew.
The hands were fumbling at his
breast again, and there was the sharp
crackle of paper. At first he didn't
understand. then he knew that the
woman had pinned paper to the
lapel Of his coat. Finally she straight
