I'm the meantime my father did

that all other thoughts were banished

Mildred in a low tone.
1T was at my fathers request. It
was his wish. Strange as it may seem
in one otherwise so normal and
healthy in every way, he was pos
sessed of the fear that someone. in
some way, would offer him a tenn
tation he could not resist"
How strange said Mildred.
Strange, but prophetic have to
tell you the rest, Mildred"
Don't unless you wish to, dearest

Perhaps it is best that tell YOU
now. In the midst of our happiness
and contentment for none of us had
the slightest desire to go to Chatta-
nooga, which is less than fifty miles
from rein the midst of our quiet
pleasures, my mother was taken
away. 1t was quite sudden; three
years ago next November. Almost
the last words she said TO me were
contained in a request that I take
her place at my fathers side and
never leave him for an ms mt. She
seemed to have some foreboding."

Plans for Redemption.

|
This dark spot in my fathers life
lasted nearly three months. My moth
er was in constant fear that some
thing dreadful would happen It was
necessary to take drastic measures.
She sent for my Uncle Andrew He
was shocked at the story she told
him A Cablegram was dispatched to
my Uncle Peter in London and seven
days later he arrived in New York.
There was a family consultation, in
which my father, who by forcible
means had not been allowed to touch
liquor for nearly week took part
My mother and my two uRcles were
the others that distressed the serious
problem before them.
My father who was the kindest,
most courteous and most considerate
man that ever lived, except for the
brief period of which l am telling
you, was his old self at this family
conference. He freely acknowledged
his terrible mistakes and begged for
ElVenesS of his wife and brothers
When 1t came to a question of what
should be done, it was my father who
made the suggestion that was prompt
~ carried out My mother jumped
at 1t. What my father believed would
/ be great sacrifice on her part she
My fathers plan was this: As he
/ believed it would simply be counting
destruction for him to remain in New
York. or any other city where the
temptation Of strong drink was al
/ ways at hand (for in that terrible
period he found himself unable to re-
sist it,, he proposed to take himself
away from the haunts of men: to
, build himself a place away from
everybody and live there for the re
mainder of his days. 1t was dras-
tic remedy but the only thing to be
| done. There was nothing that need
keep him in New York. He had been
! brought up and educated to live a
life of ease.
When my mother told me the
story she said she cried for joy when
my father unfOlded his plan to her
and his brothers. The plan was adopt
ed then and there and not a moments
time was lost in carrying it out That
very night emissaries were dispatch

Everything was on a grand

servants sleeping quarters They
climbed the stairs in the main hall

that rushed by Mildreds bungalow.
Beyond the brook lay a valley out Of

er. She was Of an old New England
family. and as her tastes were SINH
lar to my fathers they were drawn
together They were quietly married
a few months later al the home of the
american Ambassador in London.
From that moment until my mother
died. nearly four years ago, l don't
believe a more devoted couple lived
on earth
This brings me down to a painful
episode Mildred-the only blot. the
only cloud in our family sky. Soon
after their marriage my parents de-
cided to come TO this country to live,
as there was nothing to keep them
permanently on the other side Now
my father had been accustomed to
drinking light wines in Europe and
he had never tasted the stronger
drinks that are so much used in this
country. My father and mother had
hardly become established in New
York and begun a new life with their
friends when my father. without the
slightest apprehension Of what the
consequences would be, began indulg-
ing in the strong drinks that mis-
friends were in the habit of taking
at their clubs and in their homes"
Gordon paused moment before he
continued.

ing. Strong drink made a beast of

maniac while under the influence of

From Hastings Court. and
Prohibits Gambling.

Licenses to be issued by the judge OF
the Hastings Court will be required
for pool-rooms and billiard parlors,
subject to revocation In the event that
the proprietor violates city ordinances

stitute for that prepared by the Board

the term "pool-room" to billiard
room" What is meant by the ordi
nance is a place whore public tables
are provided for the playing Of the
games OF billiards or pool. but it was
represented that many people familiar
with Northern cities have the associa-
ton with "poolrooms" as places where
bets are placed on horse races and
where other forms of gambling are
allowed. The ordinance as recommends
ed also provides that the annual IL.
cense is TO be issued by the Judge OF
the Hastings Court instead of by the
Board of Police Commissioners. as
first proposed. In the section prohibit
ing any betting or wagering in any
form in billiard-rooms. tho penalty
clause applies alike TO the persons en-
gagged in betting and TO the proprietor
who permits gambling in his place.
