Here you have a demonstration by

a saloon that has been tanned, halter

where old thirsts are momentarily
auenched and indisputably increased

new thirsts will be created and en-
couraged and nursed along for future
trade.
Above is the kind of a rum shop,
under manipulation of the insidious
system of making and selling habit
forming liquors, would give those not
educated" up TO the full Pledged aver

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

As the latch Of the closing door
clicked the lid of the trunk lifted a few
inches as if the two occurrences had
had a common impulse Assured that
he was alone, Jarvis pushed the lid all
the way back and slowly sat upright
in the bottom OF the trunk The ex-
treme caution of his movements was
not so mu%h due to the fear of being
overheard as to the conviction that the
long pounding he had undergone had
rendered him brittle, and that a sudden
movement would inevitably break a
piece Of him off somewhere.
'Oh. Lord" he calculated feebly but
earnestly when he had at last gained an
upright position. He sat, squirming
slightly for a few moments, as if ac-
customing himself to the new posture,
and then with infinite caution extracit-
ed a cigarette case and matches from
his trousers pocket and lit a cigarette,
the achievement Of which caused num-
berless suppressed but sincere grodns.
oh" he growled, eff only had that
last baggage man here"
At last. with infinite pains-this beiHg
a defensible pun-he got out OF the
trunk and Strengthened himself to his
full length
We'll, I'm all here" he decided, look
ing himself over with feeble satsfac-
ton. This movement caused a fresh
kink to develop in the back Of his neck.
Most ALL" he hastily corrected himself
He hobbled to a pier glass and surveyed
the reflection with doleful mutterings.
But this was his last concession to
physical discomfort. He had lot to
do and a very short time in which to
do it. His first necessity was to find
out where his own stateroom might be
and bring Rusty 10 his aid. \ little wall
telephone hung by the mirror and In a
half minute he heard Rusty's deep mel
low wheeze. the most grateful sound
that had reached his ears in hours. He
ordered Rusty to repair forthwith to
StateroOm a. on the promenade deck
with a topcoat and a hat, his own having
been carried off by the faithful servi-
tor in the bundles that he took from
the Princess suite in the hotel.
IF Rusty gets here before that eN-
allied cousin returns III be all right ,
reflected with satisfaction, as he hung
up the receiver. Il wonder what the
game is? Sounds like a real romance.

wants Princess-ha, yes! And real vas
sal wants to know where in HI he
fits in"
There came a knock at the door TO in
terrupt their musings and while he was
undecided whether to open it or hide he
heard Rusty's. truculent basso informing
a steward or some one else in more or
less authority that he knew where he
was goin,' all right"
Vastly relieved he cautiously opened
the door and the rotund darkey tro6 i'm

Jarvis quickly whisked his coat and
hat out of the impending ruin and by
