the measure that he was expected to
sponsor.
1t provided for a commission of three
men to be appointed by the governor
and to remain under his direct control.
a bipartisan board. These men were
to appoint special deputies to any num-
Der desired. To any county, city or
town these deputies were to be dis
patched when it became apparent that
police or sheriffs were lax or dishon-
est in enforcing the prohibitory law.
No limits were placed on the number
of these men empowered to kill sa-
looms and put liquor peddlers out Of
business. No special amount of money
was t be asked Of the legislature.
The bill provided that the state treas
ury should stand behind the move-
ment.
The young mar was quick to under
stand the tremendous power granted
to the governor by that bill Under
1t M party management, no group Of
politicians, could club or coax the
liquor interests into line at the polls
by manipulation of the traffic. No
sheriff could enrich himself by selling
privileges. No city could govern itself
in that respect, declaring that public
opinion favored the saloons and max
ing local law superior to the constitu-
tional law of the state. This bill pro-
vided that a judge must impose both
fines and Imprisonment when convic-
tons were secured. and therefore no
judge could carry on any longer a
practical system of low license by i'm
posing fines alone.
1t was the principle of enforced pro-
hibition put IN trial.
Harlan was sufficiently familiar with
the old plan to know how this new
system would upset the entire politi-
cal machine Of his state. That folio

PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.

Thelismer Thornton, locally known
as Duke of C%anibas." for fifty years
boss Of his district, plans to retire and
send his grandson, Harlan, to the leg
islature as his successor. The reform
ers In his district, who are called
"Ramrodders," endeavor to defeat
Harlan for the nomination. They are
led by Ivus Niles, Evangelist Dudley
and others. Harlan is unwilling to be
a candidate. but his grandfather in
sists. Harlan and Miss Clare Kava-
nagh are very much interested in each
other, and Thornton and Clare's IA
Their try to break up this intimacy.
The reformers are in control Of the
caucus, but Thornton's followers STAN
pede them by starting a forest fire and
during their absence nominate Harlan
for the legislature. Harlan helps sub
due the fire, learns Of his nomination
and tells his grandfather that be will
decline 1t because 1t was dishonesty
procured.
However. the duke gets him to run
for the office, settles with farmers who
lost by the forest fire and practically
assumes management OF the whole
state campaign. Harlan meets Clare,
who. gowned and gloved, looks more
mature. Thornton and Harlan pay n
secret visit to Ex-Governor Weymouth
and get him to accept the nomination
for governor in order TO beat Arba
Spinney. Harlan meets pretty Made
ieine Presson Weymouth startles
Thornton and other leaders by insist
Ing upon writing his own platform
and upon a rigid enforcement OF the
prohibitory law. They refuse to nom
mate him. Harlan deserts his grand
father and supports Weymouth. who
learns that Spinney has been bribed

others. Weymouth compels them to
nominate him, and Harlan shares in
his victory. Weymouth declares he

Harlan his chief of staff for the cam
paign. Glare reveals her love for Har-
Ian, then goes away to be educated.
Weymouth compels his party leaders
to more actively support him. and
Madeleine Presson tells Harlan he's
foolish to have such high political
ideals. Weymouth is elected. Harlan
proposes marriage to Madeleine. but

makes Harlan sponsor for a drastic

behind him.
A project had come to him, prompt
ed by his furious rage which Knocked
common sense. A man more accus-
toned to the conventions would not
have attempted 1t. But all his north
country passion rioted in him at that
moment.

called to her. Clinging to his arm she
hurried up the broad marble stairway.
She did not ask why. Her faith
was complete. But his demeanor
frightened her.

In that moment his heart was re-
vealed to him. In the stress OF new
emotions he understood himself at
last. He understood that the love
which mates, which sweeps away all
calculation, which Yields, trusts and
never pauses to analyze or compute, Is
love that disdains mere admiration OF
intellect or lure Of beauty.
His quiet nature had depths. They
had never been stirred till then. The
child love had been budding there
ready for blossom. 1t had been fed by
faith and ripened by association. Pas
sion now brought it to fruition. Made

side of him. This girl rounded out the

divinity. In his strength, sincerity. in
genuousness, his mans soul, primitive
as the free woods, required the mate,
one TO be cherished and protected.
And so now, when all his soul was
stirred, this girl. so bitterly in need of
protection, the girl whom the years
had endeared to him, came into his
heart to reign there.
Words. emotion, choked him. But he
could not wait then. She saw some

could understand he carried her along

reading it, scowling. Whatever Linton
had said, it was plain that the father
of Madeleine Presson had just found
something which diverted his atten-
ton from family matters.
Harlan shut the door behind. He
locked it. He stepped away from the
girl, leaving her standing there. She
was a picture TO confute Islander.
The chairman gazed at her in aston

People who are working for the study

The present war is a religious one,
and behind IL are desires to grab ter
ritOry. As everybody knows, the Turks
are MOslems. The Burgarians and
others joining against them are Chris
tians. In the Balkan countries are few
Mohammedans, while in Turkey. and
especially in Macedonia, are many
Christians. So it is the Christian who
is the aggressOr, to protect if possible
Islam rule. The proportion Of protest
ant and Roman Catholic Christians in
the Balkan countries is about Is per
cent, possibly in some sections as many
as IS or 20 per cent The OYerWhelm-
ing numbers are Greek or eastern or
thodOx Catholic. In a way they are
united with the Russian orthodox, al
though their government is not the
same, and they are divided much as are
