TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT

He loosed his hold on Kenneth's hand,
The boy staggered to his feet-stood
swaying for a moment in weakness. like
that of delirium and then CROPPED his
way to the great armchair by the
table
He was like a swimmer spent ny a
struggle for life in a stormy sea, from
whose engulfing waters he had dragged
himself with life Pickering feebly.
Many waters can not quench love-
but they can drown youth and hope and
happiness.
Kenneth stood in dazed wonder by
the great table Uttered with the
souvenirs Of youth and folly There
were cigarettes in case of silver-his
fathers gift. There were gloves and
scarf of English weave-b bought from
the allowance his father had given him
and pipes and a silver key ring, and
his thin gold watch of fine Swiss move
mental all paid for by the toll and
freely given money OF the father he had
struck!
He pushed the litter OF silver and silk,
Of gold and gaudy trifes. of scented
notes in Eittys hand, and OF flaming
new novels, aside. Then in the space
ne had made he laid his trembling arms,
and crouching slowly forward, buried
his shamed eyes from the sight of the
father he had just rewarded a
blow!
Kitty stood alone-an alien-on the
other side Of the room
you said that you didn't blame me
that no decent man could blame me. -
She ventured the remark with brazen
daring She was testing the strength
Of her hold on Kenneth Nelson
The men seemed not hear her
Nelson came a step closer to his boy.
For a moment he seemed ready to lay
his hand on the boys bowed head. Love
was there-but dignity remembered its
dues-and the blow given and forgiven,
forgiven but not forgotten
n Love had triumphed. II Charles
Nelson had laid his hand with a faith
ers feeling on that bowed head his
story might have had a different end -
ing Father and son--together the
world forgotten Who knows?

Of the great winged chair and leaned d

was now-that later might be too late
He left the boy with bowed head
still resting on widening arms. He
left his boy to his fate-and Kitty May.
Kitty stood alone in the middle of
the room, slowly tearing her handker-
chief to pieces. She looked weak-des-
pcra beaten Her eyes were haunted
by her own success.
Suddenly a muffled sob from Kenneth
penetrated her consciousness. She
turned her eyes TO the boy. They were
inscrutable pools Of cobalt blue no
sunlight no ripple marked their smooth
surface Suddenly they Garkened and
little forked tongue Of hatred lifted
its head.
She looked at the soft mass Of torn
linen in her hand she cIenched that
hand over the dlmv cobweb that had
been whole before her fingers began
their devastation She cast the white
bali before her and set ncr cruel little
heel on It, She writhed about a mo
ment, digging the sharp leather into
the soft mass at her feet Then cruel
smile began 10 trembel out and lift the
corners alrily and then gabe them a
little staggering shake
Her eyes turned 10 the figure a the
table They frightened to points Of light
She was smiling very sweety now
After all there was Kenneth And
she was not done with him yeti
Kitty stood watching the boy with a
little smile of calculation on her face
He was not thinking Of her-no one
was thinking Of her. She began TO be
very sorry for herself. OF course, she
had to think Of herself who would
protect her If she did not. she wondered.
Her lips began to trembe She sank

Kitty began to sniffle dolefuly.

Further than that the boy did not dare

He stood up rather wearily-and tried
to shake off the vision of all he had
been through He felt dizzy. weak, his
head whrled He moistened his dry
lips and tried to speak,

monotonous voice from far away.

yHIELL. Hopeful, you may be
wv right but | don't blame your
mother for thinking that you
are wrong Habits are bad things to
break. YOU know, and the family
quarrel habit is about the worst thing
there is.
I've seen a perfectly nice girl marry
into a family that was quarrelsome-
and that girls heart was broken and
her health ruined and her disposition
spoiled for life--in less than a year 8
time.
And none of the members of the
qua rrelsome family had the least idea
what it was all about. They thought
nothing at ell of picking a quarrel at
breakfast over the way somebody's
hair was combed-or not combed-
sullting around al, day about it and
spending the evening having a beau

NV little friend took the whole thing
seriOusly-sh and her own sister had
never had really serious quarrel in
their iiyes-and the first time one of
her sisters in law picked quarrel
with her about nothing, she cried all
night about it and her husband made
finn of her for that and the others

took sides-some for her and some
against her.
To them 1t was just a pleasant little
game-something to pass away the

the poor little bride it was dreadful

She went into that family an affec-

girl. she left it quarrelsome, nag

A professor of Illinois University who

Cole eIeass and the Liquor interests

The Boston Advertiser says: THE
Governor of South Carolina has been
much upset because many of the edi-
tors of his state have advocated the
enforcement of the liquor law. Blease
evidently feels that the enforcement of
any liquor law is a personal attack up
on him and perhaps he may be right.
Anyhow he has decided that il would
be profitable, 10 keep q close watch up
on editors supected of obtaining re-
freshmenf at holes in the wall and 9TH
er GASES in the desert and has an
nounced that he will post the names Of
all who are caught with moistened
mustaches This is very hard ON the
editors who need inspiration to write
articles on the Governor. The object of
the Governor is TO compel the editors
to practice what they preach, while il
is the object of the editors and of all
other good citizens of South Carolina
I 10 prevent Blease from putting his
.niews into practice Whatever happens.
there will always be some news from
South Carolina, SO long as Blease is in
The State House"
Ii will be recalled that Blease is the
man who Disguised and Inundated the
conference of governors with his bfaz-
en- defiance of decency. That he is tied
up with the liquor interests and the
personal liberty howlers might be
understood without information, but
his idea of posting the names of those
Who encourage and patronize law
